Donut Sports Will Swing Out Monday These Ex-Fishermen Now Cougar Hunters Ace members of this year’s Oregon hoop team are these three former members of Astoria’s Fighting Fishermen high school team. Wally Johansen, left, will start at one guard position tonight against the league-leading Cougars on the Igloo floor, with stocky Boh Anet, center, as his running mate. Expected to break into the lineup is Ted Harpnla, left, lanky springy-legged sophomore, who has shown much promise in pre-season games. Johansen and Anet were both regulars on last year’s team that lost to Ihe Cougars in the northern division title playoff. They arc juniors.

Awarding- of national honors t< the Webfoot duo marked the see 'end straight year that two Ore gon mermen have gained places oi the mythical squad. Hurd, win paddled through two years of Pa eifie coast competition without de feat and Jim Reed, baekstroki crown bearer, were placed on tin | 1936 team. Hurd, brilliant sprinter, holds al the northwest free style records ii races from 50 yards up to 100. Ii 1936 the Oregon star set the exist ; ing Pacific coast collegiate TOO yard free style record, when lit churned the century distance ii 53.3 seconds. He also swam an chor on the medley relay tean which established the Pacific coasl record at 3:13.3. The Reed broth ers, Chuck swimming the breasl stroke, and Jim the backstroke rounded out the medley trio. The other Webfoot to gain the ! "all-star emblem,” Bob Chilton was northern division diving cham pion in 1935 and 1937 and lost only once in his three years ol varsity competition. The lone de feat on his record was written there in the 1936 northern division championship meet by Bert Myers j Chilton's teammate. Two other all-Americans grace Hoyman's frosh squad now work ing out, but all-Americans of a different ranking. Jack Dallas, breast-stroke, and Sherman Whet more, backstroke, both from Los Angeles Polytechnic high school, were placed cm the 1937 interscho lastic mythical team. Dallas was ranked as the country’s top prep performer in his event, and both men are regarded as definite 1940 Olympic prospects. ‘ .UK AM) Uli£. >L.\V i‘‘ Ducklings to , Play Portland , QuintetToday ' Frosh Open Season Against Franklin; Rose City Champs Seek Revenge i With but three workouts com pleted since their vacation lay-off, Coach “Honest” John Warren’s i , Duckling hoopmen will make their , initial appearance this afternoon when they clash with Chappie King’s champion Quakers from Franklin high, Portland, on the : Igloo boards at 5 o’clock. Slated to be as good or better than last year’s aggregation, the Portland quint is primed to avenge the two defeats handed them last year by Warren's club. Leading the Quaker team will be Wally Kremer's Bob Oliver and Mickey Miles, all-state second team guard last year, both outstanding vet erans. In the final practice last night Honest John pitted his squad against a "super-varsity” team in an attempt to iron out the ragged play and to check errors in back board play and passing. Although they matched basket for basket with the super-varsity, it was evident that Hie frosh will need to eliminate much of their ragged play before they can hope' to become a smooth working team. Gale May Take Wind Out of the Cougars 'Sails The basketballing’ Cougars are sailing along the champion ship waters they monopolized last year. With baskets fore and aft. Mr. Hobson's boys may take the wind out of their sails. At the rate he's going Gale should win in a breeze. The drop in the price of Sil ver has even affected the Web feet. Dave has slumped. But there’s a Hardy forward fill'ng in for him. And Slim Wintermute is still the high man -6 feet 8 inches. The sharpshooting Finns from the lower Columbia river—Jo hannsen, Anet and Sarpola— have taken on the role of "Asto ria Assassins.” Oregon has piled up 11 straight wins. It seems to be a Hobby with them. If the Oregon quintet is as good in tonight’s game as in early season games, they may put on the Hobson Hobble. If not, it may be the Webfoot Wobble. Nearly the entire squad played in the contest. Lineup Tentative Tentatively listed as starters for this afternoon’s contest are Archie Marshik, six foot six center from St. Mary’s, Eugene, at the pivot po sition; Chet Allen, Eureka, Cali fornia, star, and Earl Sandness, ex-Astoria flash at forwards; and George “Porky” Andrews of Vic toria, B. C., and Toivo Piippo, an other of Warren’s proteges from Astoria, at the guard positions. Other yearlings likely to figure in the contest are Tiny Smith and Danny Read, ex-University high stars, Pete Igoe, former Eugene high standout, Harold Hoffman,; Long Beach, California, star, and Jimmie Rathbun, high scorer in the Portland interscholastic league last year from Washington high. Both teams are scheduled to meet again in the second game of the series at 4 o’clock Saturday in the Igloo. No admission will be charged for either contest. 1 SCHOOL SUPPLIES SUNDRIES Fountain Lunch WE DELIVER LEMON-0 Pharmacy Cor. 13th & Alder, Ph. 2717 Shorthand - Typewriting Complete Business Course University Business College Edward L.

Deemed by Paul R. Washke, di rector, as one of the most exten sive programs ever offered, the schedule will include championship events in A and B league basket ball, wrestling and handball. All intramural managers should sign their teams in any or all of these events by Friday noon, Mr. Washke announced. A schedule will be drawn up and regular games in both A and B league basketball will start Monday. Be tween 50 and 60 teams are expect ed to be signed for the two leagues. Wrestling in February Handball will start a week later and wrestling sometime in Feb ruary according to tentative plans. All players must be in complete gym suit clothing. The referee, balls, whistle, etc. will be furnished by the school, however each team is required to furnish their own score and time keepers, Mr. Washke said. ATO Defenders Alpha Tau Omega, defending champions in both the A and B leagues promise a good team again this year, but will undoubtedly uncover stiff competition from some of the up and coming teams of other houses. Mitt, Mat Boys Show At Half-Time Tonight A wrestling and boxing exhibi tion by members of the newly formed Oregon Mitt and Mat club featuring slugger Gale Ferris and Smokey Whitfield will be offered spectators at the basketball game tonight during half time. Ferris and “Bomber” Whitfield, colorful negro glove tosser, are rated by Jim Dimit, Mitt and Mat club prexy, a3 the class of the Uni versity boxers. In two previous inter-squad leather-pushing jousts this season, the two middleweights battled to bruising draws. Fans who have seen them in action rate them virtually on a par although the dusky clouter has had more experience, punching his way to a semi-finals berth in a Golden Gloves tournament in Chi cago two years ago. Ferris how ever has been coming along fast and is the boy that fans are back ing to climb the fistic ladder.

Gradually gaining stature as a result of his flue forward \\alls, his reputation advancing in ever-widening circles as his linemen gain honors in professional fields, Gene Shields has been slowly but very surely advancing in this coaching business under our very eyes, until now he is fully ripe to move into the golden chair. So I say, and it is being said at more length and with greater detail in other columns of this paper, that we should get on the'boat and start supporting genial Gene for the job. He knows the ropes, is acquainted with all the angles peculiar to this institution, and is willing to take on the responsibility of turning out winning teams for the University. And by far the most able criterion (o judge Gene s worth is what the team, the fellows who have seen the most of him, who know him, have to say. They are unanimous in their sup port. And with a team that is 99.44 per cent behind the coach, next year shouldn't find any repetition of the dissension that came to the fore this campaign. So other than to just declare my hand, and etH-se-ihe- pot in favor of Gene, I won’t say anymore this time. * $ $ ’X« J^Y the time you have read this far, ye faithful who are Ion" of wind and short of brain, you should know that this is me again. It seems that Hawkins is going to school this term and sleeping on the side (personally I like to sleep on my back as I can out-snore the fellow in the next room in that position). It’s almost impossible to edit this page, go to school, and sleep in the same 24-hour period, and do a creditable job of any. That “Hatch” did a very splendid job of edit ing this page is a known fact, but I know that he was always heavy-lidded and his GPA looked like the XYZ affair that you read about in your American history books. We are going to try and have everyone’s name in tlie paper this term and when an all-star intramural team is picked no one will be slighted for it will contain 43 first teams, 27 second teams, and all the rest of the guys that even pulled on a sock in intramural competition will receive honorable mention. Ho I think I will go home now and gaze fondly at that little bunk which will soon cradle me no longer. It seems a shame to exile myself from so faithful a companion. 1 know every bump and lumpy spot in it. lint I will get my sleep. There arc always classrooms, and the library.
