By BILL NORENE
As if Oregon State’s basketball
ers didn’t fool around enough ii
their basketball playing now, Slat
Gill, according to L. H. Gregory
is now writing other northern di
vision coaches, trying to get then
to agree to a proposal to insert i
10-second pause after each baske
scored.
It seems that Pete Antonich, i
former University of Washingtoi
athlete, and now a snorts editor o
a small Washington paper, was
moaning over the fact that pres
ent day basketball with its fast
break emphasis is not very consid
erate of the scorer.
By the time that the sports writ
er records such salient facts as the
name of the player sinking the
basket, time of the game when the
basket was scored, score of the
game as changed by the success
ful shot, and some noteworthy
thing about the shot, often another
score has been rung up by one of
the contestants.
# * *
Now Mr. Antonich suggested
that to alleviate this terrible situa
tion a five-second pause after each
basket is scored would be just the
thing. The proposal was aired in
Gregory’s column and soon later
Gregory was in Corvallis to view
the Montana-Oregon State series.
No sooner had the newspaper
strike been settled than Gregory
again aired Antonich's suggestion
in his column with Coach Gill’s ad
dition now brought to light.
Can't you see that Coach Gill
really has the interest of the poor
sports writers at heart. Always
a considerate person, Gill probably
racked his cunning and agile brain
for days and days in search of a
remedy for the situation.
In fact the thought of having
his tough zone defense all set up
and ready to go by the time the
team just scored on got the ball,
probably rfrver entered his mind.
* #
Imagine, if you can, Anet, Jo
hansen, and the rest of the fast
breaking Oregons trying to run the
legs off the Statens with the Stat
ers already sitting on their haunch
es waiting for the Webfoot offense
to come rolling up to them.
That is almost as bad as the
sweet essence of tripe which ema
nated from Seattle just before the
Oregon-Oregon State series.
The week before, Idaho and
Washington had done battle in the
Huskies huge pavilion. That the
series had been split wus not the
point. The point wa3 that some
thing like the Thursday after, five
days if dates are correct, a big
story hits the Oregonian in which
Coaches Edmundaon of Washing
ton and Twogood of Idaho practi
cally bund the championship of the
northern division to our own Ducks
on a platter.

With two iresnman swimmers
tracking and tying coast records
the varsity and freshman members
Df Mike Hoyman’s Webfoot squad
went through a stiff workout Sat
urday afternoon. No meet score
was kept and the question of
freshman or varsity supremacy is
still undecided.
Sherman Wetmore and Jack
Dallas, freshmen from Long Beach,
tied and broke Pacific coast con- i
ference records in the backstroke
and breaststroke. Wetmore’s time
in the backstroke was 1.42.9,
which ties the record held by Jim
Reed of Oregon. With a butterfly
breast Dallas clipped .6 of a sec
ond from the record held by a
Stanford man. The official record
is 2.3G.6.
Mallory Wins
The best race of the days was
the 50-yard free style between
Pierce Mallory and Sanders which
Mallory won by about ten inches.
A real prospect for next year,
Wetmore also swam the 440 yard
free style against Jack Levy. The
race was very close for the first
18 laps but in the final four Wet
more put on a nice sprint and won
by about four yards.
The squad to make the trip to
Washington State and Idaho
Thursday has not been picked.
Final selection of the traveling
squad will be made Wednesday
night at another intersquad meet.
Hoynmn Pessimistic
Coach Hoyman was pessimistic
about his chances of winning. He
said that among the sophomores,
Pierce Mallory, sprinter, was look
ink very good.
In the backstroke Hayashi, Cole
man, and Starbuck should be able
to garner their share of points.

Spectators jammed the gym, speculation ran high, bets were
lumerous as two of the campus’ strongest A league teams, the Sigma
Vus and Alpha Tau Omegas took the floor. Much to the disappoint
nent of the crowd the game was not a close affair, but went to the
VTOs by the score, 24 to 5.
This score does not begin to show the closeness of the contest,
however, as it was a bitterly fought battle from beginning to end.

Webfoots Will Meet
Tougher Opposition
Saturday Night
Oregon’?, court-burning Duck?,
their spirit buoyed by the impend
ing return of rugged Dave Silver,
worked on defensive play last
night in the first of three workouts
in preparation for their first road
trip of the season.
Coach Hobby Hobson’s men
leave Wednesday night for Seattle
where they meet Washington's
Huskies Friday and Saturday
nights.
Following the Washington series
the Webfoots move over to Mis
soula, Montana, for a return series
with the Grizzlies on Monday anc
Tuesday, January 31 and Februarj
1, before heading home again.
Silver Back
Dave Silver, Husky forward whe
has been in the infirmary for the
past ten days nursing a case o:
chicken-pox, will rejoin the squat
either today or Wednesday, accord
ing to an announcement made bj
Coach Hobson yesterday. The tall
curly-haired lad will make the trij
north and although he will not b<
given a starting role, he is slatec
to see considerable action.
Return of Silver is expected tf
strengthen the rangy Webfoot ma
chine considerably. In addition t<
being a top-flight scorer, he is om
of the best ball-hawkers off tin
backboard in the northern division
Last year, as a junior, he won ai
all-conference berth.
Grizzlies
After winning the first game o
their series with Jigg's Dahlberg'
Grizzlies Friday night, almos
running the Montanans clear ou
of McArthur court, the Duck cag
men bogged down in the Saturda;
night tussle and had to settle dowi
and fly for their win, this time b;
a 54 to 33 count.
In the first period the Ducks hi
the same pace of Friday night am
rolled up a 32-18 halftime total
But the second half told a differ
ent story. Bob Anet looped one a:
the period opened, but the littli
Montanans then proceeded ti
throw up a very effective ’’Duel
blind" that lasted for two-thirds o:
the last half.
Miller Good
Breaking from behind this blini
was a stocky, young Rocky moun
taineer by the name of Chick Mil
ler. Time after time he took tin
ball on perfectly executed blocl
and run plays to flip in 7 conseeu
tlve field goals. AH told tin
Grizzlies hit 16 points while tin
Ducks were being shut out.
Wally Johansen finally tuniei
the tide with a bucket, and as tin
game closed Hobby's Ducks wen
rolling as before.
Johansen Leads Ducks
Miller was high for the nigh
with 17 points. Johansen, Winter
mute and Gale led Oregon in tha
order with 13, 12 and it points re
sportively Anet hit the bucko
for D and Sarpola for S.
The same lineup that started tin
fine team work and shooting that
led them to the championship last
year, while the Sigma Nus were
obviously off form.
Karstens was high point man of
the game with 9 counters, followed
by Scott with 6.

has yet been marked up in a single
game for an individual player, Wil
I bur Webb yesterday led the Yeo
' men B league basketball-team to a
47 to 7 victory over a game, but
outclassed Pi Kappa Alpha team.
Following Webb in point gath
ering and also outstanding on the
floor was Robert Goodwin who
bucketed 11 counters. Both men
played only three quarters of the
game.
The Independents began rolling
early in the game and at half time
held a 26 to 5 lead. At this point
substitutes for Webb and Goodwin
were sent into the fray and the
Yeomen attack bogged down until
the fourth canto when these two
men went back in the game.

Ducklings Trample
Longview Hi, 51-25
Turning on the heat for the first time this season, coach “Honest”
John Warren’s lanky frosh hoopmen bucketed better than one and a
half points per minute in downing and out-heighted and out-classed
Longview high school team 51 to 25 Saturday afternoon.
Evidently inspired by the varsity’s one-sided victory over Montana
Friday night, the Ducklings practically raced the less-experienced
nrenners off their feet. Archie Marshik started the fireworks for the
frosh by clumping in two quick
field goals, and from then on, there
was little doubt of what the out
come would be.
Three Men Score
Earl Sandness, Everett McNeely
and George "Porky” Andrews each
added two field goals apiece to run
the score up to 17 to 6 at the enc
of the first quarter.
Substitutions early in the second
quarter slowed down the Duckling
offense, but the reserves succeeded
in adding another 9 points while

Matmen Ready for
Oregon State Meet
On Friday Evening
Injuries Beset Oregon Wrestlers on Eve of
Match With Orangemen; Kopczak, Wood
Unable to See Action
Last week's long-awaited offi
cial recognition of wrestling as a
minor sport merely added impetus
tc the training-drive of the Uni
versity of Oregon wrestlers, se
riously and sweatily laboring to
add the final touches of condition
ing necessary for their debut and
big show Friday night against
OSC.
From 10 to 15 men are working
out every afternoon, and accord
ing to A1 Bogue, PE major serv
ing as coach, the team is rapidly
whipping into top form.
Kopczak Out
The inevitable coach’s complaint,
though, can be heard—not only is
165-pound Bill Kopczak, former
Pacific Northwest amateur champ,
out of the running with a sprained
ankle suffered recently, but Walt
Wood, fair-haired boy of the wel
terweight division, will be among
the spectators. Wood has been
forced to drop both wrestling and
skiing as the result of torn liga
ments from last week’s workouts.
Several newcomers, however,
have served to square things up.
Morton Myers, winter term trans
fer from OSC will be pitted against
a. former teammate Friday night.
Harry Schaffer, who has starred
in the past for Multnomah club
I and appears to be a promising ad
Jition to the University team, will
meet Dari Dudley, OSC’s pride in
:he 145 division.
Roberts Durable
"Wild Man” Roberts, ten pounds
heavier, has won attention here by
his unusual strength and endur
ance; and will win more this
weekend by his apparent imper
sonation of the famous Man Moun
tain—at least in hirsute adorn
ment (class of ’40). Familiar to
many students is Dale Peterson,
blonde bruiser, who has appeared
in several exhibitions on the cam
pus. He'll toss his 175 pounds
against Ted Tibutt, reputedly one
of the Beavers’ best.
Besides these, Clarence Francis,
135-pound intramural champ and
outstanding speed merchant the
local team; Jim Mountain, stocky
welterweight, adept at defensive
wrestling; Harry Spence, 165, for
mer ’Frisco tough boy; a d the one
and only Superman Williams,
Oregon’s heavyweight, will ail rep
resent the university.
Williams Finalist
Williams, finalist last year in
the P.N.A. tournament, has been
handicapped by scarcity of effec
tive competition for workouts—he
seems to have an option on skill
