THE HOT CORNER iiiimiiniiiiifTiiniiiiiiiiniiiiniiintniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiniiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiinniiixnitiiiiiiii By BILL NORENE Believe it or not! Jiggs Dahlberg lost all but two games last season at Chehalis high school, and this year he is coaching a basketball team in the northern division. However, it isn’t as bad as it sounds. In fact, his high school record except for that one season is very impressive. It includes one state championship, in basketball, one runner-up to the state titlist, and still another season in which he lost only one game. When he finished captaining Montana's basketball entry in the northern diivsion in 1925, he was appointed basketball coach at Miles City high school. .He was there for four years and each year he produced a district champ. It was one of these Miles City squads that won the Montana state title. * * * From there he went to Hoquiam, Washington. In the southwest con ference that year he lost one game during the season and then went to the state tournament. He lost one game in the state tournament, fin ishing fourth. The next year he was beaten once the whole season, but that was enough to keep him out of the tourtiey. He then journeyed back to Mon tana, Anaconda this time, for a one year stay. His men were sophomores that year, but they went to the state tournament. They lost by one point in the first round and finished fifth. He. left Anaconda at the end of the year to accept a position at Puyallup, Washington. Ineldent ally his sophomore Anaconda team came back the next year to lose out in the finals of the slate tour nament. They won it in a walk in 1934. Four members of that team are now regular starters for the Grizzlies. C'humrau, Miller, I.azc ticli, and Johnson are the quartet. Puyallup makes no attempt to get into the state playoff, but at that he finished second one year and third another in his three year stay. * # His next season he transferred activities to Chehalis. There, how ever, their material was on the downgrade, so, building for the future, he took a team of sopho mores and used them almost ex clusively. As mentioned before the ball club won only two games. That was the 1936-37 season. * • w Short Shots- Fresno State lias hail very good seasons under “Rab bit" Bradshaw, but somebody else must have had quite a hand in it, according to his own statements he has only been there two years . . . not hardly long enough to get his own material started . . .

The game started at a fast pace with the Betas pouring in baskets from all angles running the score to 16 to 6 at the rest period. The onslaught never stopped during the second half for they potted baskets one after another. Werschkul took high honors with 6 counters closely followed by Conrad, Essey, and Kestley with four apiece. Scoring honors were divided for Sigma hall. Wersch kul was easily the outstanding man on the floor with his unorthodox shots and steady defensive play. Lineups: Betas, 25 6, Sigma hall Barrows .F .Grant Gebhardt .F . 2, Dick McGowan, 3 .

The Comets were just no match for such a well organized team. They shot from the middle of the floor, they shot from under the basket; it made no difference to them for they connected from anywhere. They were hot. Even big Stan Ri ordan got in his four bits worth by scoring six points. George Schweiger led all scorers with 14 points, he was practically unstoppable from scoring under the basket or near the keyhole. Ri ordan followed with six. McCoy was high for the Comets, connect ing for four. 14 1 Lineups: Phfc.'Delts, 34 Watson, 4 . Lewman, 2 .... Schweiger, Riordan, 6 Milligan, 2 Mitchell, 2 Houghton Crosbie, 2 De Pittard .

It was a nip and tuck affair from the very start of the game with the score 0 to 0 a minute before the end of the first quarter. However, from here on the Sig ma Nus began hitting the hoop with a little more consistency to hold an 8 to 6 lead at half time. With this little two-point lead they clung to and gradually worked ahead until they held a comfort able margin of 4 points at the end of the game. Mike Dariotis headed all scorers with 7 markers. The remarkable thing about Mike's playing was the fact that just a few minutes before game time ho had been playing a torrid handball match, thus sap (Please turn to page jour) FOOTBALL AT TEXAS According to the "Daily Texan," the University of Texas pays its football players $43 per month, which check the gridders receive, endorse, and get in return room, board, tuition, and books.

S John’s Boy Chet Allen Remember the story about John Warren outdoing Slats Gill and getting a high school athlete from practically the por tals of the state college ? That remarkable prize was Chet Allen, who enrolled this winter term. Mark my word for it, you have to look up to him, in more ways than one, A Sigma Nu, with a build similar to that tarzan-like fig ure of Dave Silver, he put his six feet six into both basketball and baseball with effects. What made him impressive to Coach John was the way in which ho played basketball, lie knocked off a district scoring record established by some fel low named Luisetti, and in creased the record some twenty points. Chet also established an average of nineteen and a half points a game. His record of lit points in one game is a feature in itself. The most unusual part of this fellow is that he wants to study! He's a quiet PE major and is homesick (only California girls need apply). Chet is very interested in get ting an ex-schoolmate and ba ketball player here ;*t Oregon. His name is Darrel Bishop, also from Eureka. California. Ac cording to Chet, Darrel is i leal basketball player, uough said. Anybody got any (rings? Ernest \ D. Murphy.

Duck Mitt and Mat Club Slates Bouts With OSC For Igloo Friday Evening Threatening the fistic regime of Gale Ferris and Smokey Whitfield, Merle Hanscom, Oregon's new glove tossing find, stepped into the boxing limelight yesterday after noon by calmly disposing of two sparring partners in his daily gym session. Previous to this spectators, who gather to watch Jim Dimit's Mitt and Matters skip through their training routine, saw him hold his own against both Gale Ferris and Smoky Whitfield. Friday night Hanscom walks into the squared circle in McAr thur court against Cal Monroe, Oregon State College 158-pound champion. Monroe is a veteran of last year's Beaver squad. Ferris and Whitfield, both 165 pounder veterans, plan to stage a double win in their division. Bill Goodwin, national amateur boxing contender in 1929 and a frequent visitor of the training quarters, rates Smoky and Gale on even terms with the best of the coast middleweights. Friday night both will have a :hance to prove the veracity of this statement when Smoky faces the Beavers' Mr. Homer Millard and Ferris squares off with H. Earl Williams.

Because they figured that they had put on a sloppy exhibition. Big Bill Lazetich, Montana State U’s football star, was too disgusted to say much . . . and the rest of the Grizzly pack weren’t too spirited. But in the eyes of the crowd last night, Montana was a very favored team. No team that has showed here this year received the enthusiastic applause that the scrappy but small gang of Grizzles were given. The crowd took this team to heart. Montana Fast Yes, if you take it from the crowd, Montana doesn’t have to apologize for their showing. War Admiral couldn’t have run faster than those booming Grizzlies did during the first half of their game with Hobby’s Ducks. They showed a passing game that would do credit to a slight of hand artist, and topped it off with Annie Oak ley shooting. But to get back to some more shower steam . . . Captain Bob Thompson, the lad who tossed them in from “way out there” with such unerring precision backed the Washington Huskies as the team for Oregon to beat. (That, Mr. Thompson, is not news to Hobson.) 1 Fawy Worried Skipping from one shower room to another (no little task in the vast expanse of the Igloo base- ' ment), your scribe sought Ore gon’s Matt Pavalunas who admit ted he was kinda worried when the Montanans started out in such a blinding fashion . . . and so did John Dick . . . but both figured the copper state lads to slow as the game grew older.

Levy Wetmore to Race Oregon’s swimming Ducks J match strokes today with the same , collection of freshmen and reserves which last Saturday eked out a 39-37 win over the varsity in a similar intersquad meet. The meet will be held in the men’s pool at 3 o’clock. Hoyman’s varsity squad has clamored all week for a return shot at the frosh and reserves who have set themselves up as the Washington State college Cougars. Mike thought over the situation and said, “Okay, go to it.” Season Sturts Friday The Ducks open the northern division season next Friday night against the Washington State splashers, and then over across the state line to Moscow, Idaho, where they meet the Vandal nata tors Saturday night. Mighty Jack Dallas, the Lon£ Beach breast-stroker, who last Saturday smashed the Pacific coast record in this event, will hit the aqua lane primed to clip a lit tle more time from the coast mark. Levy-Wetmore Duel Dallas’ teammate and fellow in terscholastic all-American from the California coast city, Sherman Wetmore, will again race the Blond Wave, Jack Levy. Wetmore, a backstroke specialist, beat Levy at his own game—distance free styling—last week in both the 440 and 220 yard races. Lev!y has trained down a little finer this week, and swim fans figure him to give the southern merman a battle for the honors in the 440 yard race. Wetmore and Dallas will co-cap tain the “Cougar” aggregation, while Levy and Diver Bert Myers will head the Ducks. Fans who follow the fortunes of Hoyman s tank crew are looking for a neck-and-neek battle in the sprints between Jim Smith of the varsity and Jim Marnie, the Ha waiian delight. Last week Marnie won the 50-yard free-style race but lost by six inches in the cen tury.

One pertinent fact which is both ering the Duckling hoopsters no end is the fact that mill-city prep pers breezed through Vancouver high school, 33 to 12, while the frosh sweated, stumbled, and prayed their way to a 29-to-21 win aver the Trappers a week ago. Frosh Tall "Honest” John’s sky-scraper combination of Marshik, Allen, and Sandness will be leading the at tack for the Ducklings, with George "Porky” Andrews and Har old Hofman acting as key men on set plays and defense.

The veteran cougar was always on hand for athletic contests staged at home, and his guard of honor, the Cougar Guards, the chapter of the national Intercollegiate Knights. “Butch” made several trips to the annual sportsmen's fair at Spo kane, and in 1930, when Washing ton State college won the Pacific coast championship, he went to the Rose Bowl at Pasadena with the team. ,_*i In the fall of 1927 the kitten, then about seven months old, was presented to the college by the state through Roland Hartley, then governor. January 19 was “Butch Day” at the state college. Students wore their fez caps or letter sweaters all day. Between halves of the basketball game with the Univer sity of Washington that evening “Butch's” empty cage was brought in accompanied by a guard of honor composed of Intercollegiate Knights, Grey W club and Spurs. Chris Rumburg, student president, gave a short eulogy, the alma mater song was sung, and the fam ous “Cougar-R-R-R" yell was giv en. The skin of the giant cat will be stuffed and placed in the Charles R. Conner museum on the campus. iT1f^fr5f5rf^fn]ra[f./n]rn]rn3rryin]rTSr^.'m.Vir^r^innmmmrr* i V 3 Emerald 3 1 IS made possible by the following a [§] f onsequent ly they deserve § your support: l uiv.
