THE HOT CORNER niiiiiiiiiiiiitniiiiiiiiiiiii:iiiiii!!iiiiiiiiiiiiii!ntuiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiii]ii!iiiiiii:!!!iini!i!i 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. * * » That evening in the Register Guard is a story about how Laddie Gale, at the pace he set in the two (Please turn to fane three) ATOs Sink Title Hopes of Sigma Nus 24-6^ i Dallas, Wetmore, Freshmen, Break ; Tie, Coast Marks ■ Squad for Journey to 1 Pullman, Moscow, Will Be Selected 1 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.

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. Ducks Work On Defense; Huskies Next D. Silver Will Return; 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.

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 (Please turn to page three) 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.
