THE HOT CORNER By BILL N'OKENE Handicapped slightly by condi tion, two of the University’s new est athletic representatives, the boxing and wrestling teams, will make their debut this evening at McArhur court. Little more than a week old, the two organizations will match left hooks and toe-holds with the Beavers, who are favor ites to walk off with the meet. Both experience and numbers are on the Beaver side of the led ger. To begin with the manly art of self-defense and its companion have been established at the Cor vallis institution for some time. We do not have the exact' fig ures, but Jim Dixon and Doc All man, the wrestling coach, have turned out many Beavers boxers and wrestlers in past years. As a result the Orangemen not only have the material started coming, but their teams have a definite standing in the northwest. Last year they entered a team in the Pacific Northwest Amateur tour ney in Portland. * * * Never fear, however, for Coaches Dimit and Bogue have a few boys who know how to handle them selves inside the squared circle, al though as stated before, condition will hinder a few of the Ducks. It seems as though some of the boys didn't like the idea of giving all every night just for the fun of it, they would just as leave have a letter as a reward. Mercenary to be sure, but then they evidently have no conscience. They didn’t come out, preferring to study or work for monetary con sideration. As a result many of the lads didn’t begin actual training until last week when the activities board put their official stamp on the Mitt-Mat club proceedings. Then too injuries reaped a ter rific harvest, especially among the wrestlers. John, "The Champ,” Valleau bent a bone in his should er, (that’s his story) and will be out for another couple of weeks, if he gets to wrestle at all this season. Bill Kopczak, former 105-pound PNA champ, pulled a fast one, or maybe it wasn’t fast enough. Re gardless of what the score was, he came out on the short end of it with a broken ankle. * * * Walter Lee Wood, one of the beet 155-pound prospects tore something like half the muscles in his leg loose in a moment of frenzy. Not only does Walter have to neglect his wrestling, but he has to quit skiing. Now when some body quits skiing, you know that it is probably for a serious cause. Anyway we would think so be cause some of the advertisements of dolls wearing ski clothes looked very good. But to get back to the coming show tonight, the Oregon team still has a few boys who can throw plenty of leather. Smoky Whitfield went to the finals in the Chicago Golden Golves a few years back. Gale Ferris, Pete Thorne, Frank Nickerson, and Vein Hanscom are all good boxers, who should be able to hold their own. For wrestlers there are Clarence Francis, Willie Williams, Dale Pet erson, and Harry Spence, who all know their way through the ropes. * # * More on condition ... if you ask Dimit he will tell you that train ing on cream puffs is not such a good idea ... he tried it once and about the second round of the scheduled three-round match he was ready for the kill—then the cream puffs hit him. and he and his oponent just looked at each other ... it is rumored that Slats Gill is going to Stanford to replace John Bunn as head basketball coach . . . Bunn is the new dean of men at the southern institution. GIRLS WANTED —to demonstrate and sell Blanche White Cosmetics line on campus. Make money in your spare time. Free training.

They did it again! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, those fellows from the Alpha Tau Ome ga house dropped another victim on their way to the B league cham pionship. The score was 51 to 12. Now it isn’t the habit of the school of education to create bat tles, but if the Oregon varsity hears of the ATOs impairing their scoring record, it is likely there will be a feud worse than that of the Martins and the Coys in the good old days in Kentucky. The ATOs started scoring less than a minute after the whistle had blown and were still potting the shots when the game ended. At half time the score stood 12 to 2 in favor of the hotelmen. They really went to town in the final half scoring 39 points in 12 min utes or an average of 3 1-4 points a minute. Hans Karstens led the scoring for the ATOs with 16 points fol lowed by Jay Graybeal and Donald Anderson with 12 each.

The game was very fast, but with both teams showing spells of ragged playing. The clubbers were unable to work together or to hit the bucket in the pinches. At half time the score was 15 to 10 for the DUs. Starting the second half the DU five scored six points before the Canard team could connect. The clubbers then rallied but were unable to over come the lead against them. Paul Thuneman led the victors with 8 points, followed by Connie Grabb with 6. Vernon Wolfe was outstanding for the club with 8 counters.

Although the score was some what close, the Sweethearts were pressed only once by the Camp bell team. This was early in the third quarter when the lads from the Co-op began hitting their shots and threatening the lead of the Sigma C'his. Time was then called by the Sweethearts and from this I point on the game began slowing i down. Fred Kremel led the losers with Frosh Win 73-29; Reserves Lose 6-5 Honest John's towering frosh began a successful road trip by trouncing the Hood River All ! Stars, 73 to 29 Wednesday night in Hood River. Earl Sandness, high scoring Duckling led the attack with 23 points. The frosh reserves were edged out in a ten-minute contest with Hood River high, d to 3. Ducks Prepared for Eugene Invasion by State's Orangemen Oregon's Newest Athletic Teams Will Make Initial Start This Evening Against OSC Boxers, Wrestlers at Igloo Another invasion of the Oregon campus tonight, and this time official sanction and encouragement is assured the loyal Ducks who will strive—and sweat—to defend the honor of the University. McArthur court at 7:30 will be the scene of the combat, which will include nine fistic and eight limb-twisting matches in the debut of the newly-organized University boxing and wrestling team. Jim Dimit, maestro of the local boxers, considers his men in good shape, and will be watching with especial interest the showing made by Ris Inskeep, 215-pound former Big Nine champ and gridiron star, who will tangle, with the Beavers’ Ben Ell, also a fullback during autumn months. Nickerson Fast The speediest exhibition of th3 evening probably will be furnished by Tiger Nickerson of the Univer sity team, in his welterweight bout with Merle Johnson. Smoky Whitfield, popular dusky middleweight, appears in top con dition for trading punches with Earl Williams of OSC. Smoky was Chicago Golden Gloves finalist in 1934, and has considerable exper ience to his credit. Gale Ferris, the other middleweight, who has won applause in recent campus exhibitions, will toss his much respected fists at Homer Millard. In the 155 division, Merle Hans com, who recently awed ringsiders by ‘‘cooling" two sparring part ners in one afternoon, meets the Beavers’ Earl Williams. Pete Thorne in the same weight takes i on Ted Lindley, and the card is rounded out by Don Towers and 1 Bob Kroessin, Webfoot welter ; weights, who are matched with Phil Lane and Bill Hour, respec tively. Francis Former Champ Still more former and present titleholders will be included in the wrestling team’s half of the pro gram. Willie Williams, 195-pound rough boy, tackles Beaver At Young—and is favored to carry off the honors. Williams, ’37 intra mural kingpin, was runner-up last year in the Pacific Northwest, Amateur tournament. Clarence j Francis, Big Nine and Oregon campus champ in the 135 division, will turn on all his speed tonight against the Staters’ Bob McRob erts. To Harry Schaffer, Oregon wel terweight, falls the task of subdu ing the Beavers’ best, Darle Dud ley. Schaffer, though, can call on several year’s Multnomah club ex perience. Mort Myers, 145, OSC transfer, will meet Wayne Cook, tind Jim Mountain, the third Ore gon representative in this weight, tries his bone-breaking ability on Hershel Peyree from Corvallis. I’eterson Wrestler ' The Beaver with the reputation as a prospective PNA-er, Ted Tib butt, probably will encounter stiff competition from Oregon's Dale Peterson, 175-pound muscleman, A former Bay City resident, Harry Spence, will defend Oregon colors against Bob Nelson in the 165 class, and Webfoot Bob Roberts is matched with Emil Ek at 155. A1 Bogue, University wrestling team coach, is pinning much of his hopes on Roberts, who has shown himself outstanding in strength and en durance. Admission to ASUO members will be 25 cents, 10 cents to non members. The meet is scheduled to start at 7:60 so that students planning to may attend the sopho more whiskerino later in the even ing. 6 points and also showed ability to handle the ball.

The game was very close all the way with the Sigma Chis ahead but never by more than 3 or 4 points. The Sigma Chis smarting under a second-half spurt by the Pi Kaps late in the third quarter got on the scoring wagon and fired a few shots into the basket to make the score 18 to 10. The Pi Kaps kept on sinking them but fell short 2 points as the game ended with the Sigma Chis on the long end of the score.

Rowe Gets Mention By Football Board A certificate naming him for honorable mention on the 1937 all American football team was re ceived Tuesday by Paul Rowe, hard-running varsity fullback. The award was presented by the all American board of football as an acknowledgment of Rowe’s out standing play on the Oregon team last season. The certificate was signed by Howard Jones, Frank Thomas, Bob Zuppke, Glen “Pop” Warner, out- j standing collegiate coaches, and Christy Walsh, syndicate manager, who made the selections from a j nation-wide survey of college grid i teams. Gordon Mehl, ex-'40, has gone to New York where he will be em ployed by the Dollar Steamship company. Oregon Will Defend First Place Against Washington Tonight Laddie Gale, Slim Wintermute, Bob Anet Wally Johansen, Ted Sarpola Will Start With Dave Silver in Reserve By GEORGE PASERO Primed for a court-burning battle, Coach Hobby Hobson and his towering Oregon basketeers move their baggage over to the huge University of Washington pavilion today where they will await the whistle calling them to the court to defend their first place standing from the challenge of Hec Edmundson’s driving Huskies. Still perched atop the northern division ladder with almost a third of the season past history, the Oregonians have no illusions about the prowess of the Huskies and are determined to run the Seattle boys clear out of their huge “shack.” Although given only an even break with the fast-moving Wash ingtonians, by sport writers, Hob by hopes that his Ducks will sweep the two-game series, Friday and Saturday nights, and head east ward to Missoula, Montana, still leading the pack. The Webfoots meet the Grizzlies Monday and Tuesday nights. The Huskies, however, entertain quite different notions, knowing that by winning both games they can usurp the Ducks’ roost. Scoring Battle Primarily the crowd tonight will be watching the team battle, but secondly, their attention will be focused on two high-powered scor ers, Laddie Gale of the Ducks and Harry Lockhart of the Huskies. With only four points separating these two boys in the scoring col umin, they should stage a duel that will long be remembered in the Puget Sound city. Gale has amas sed 78 points in six games while it has taken eight for Lockhart to collect 74. Reports from the north indicate that canny Hec Edmundson is con centrating his attention on stop ping the tall Oakridge lad with the big hands in order to give Mr. Lockhart a chance to step out in front of “The Lad,” but when it comes to young Mr. Lockhart step ping away from Gale, a fellow by the name of Hobson will have something to say and plenty to say it with—10 men to be exact. Silver With Team Assisting Gale tnoight will be the same boys who have stood be side him all season, Wally Johan sen, Bobby Anet, Slim Wintermute, Ted Sarpola. These five will prob ably start with tall Dave Silver, who rejointed the squad Wednes day, due to see plenty of action. Johansen and Anet, the Astoria basket-pitching “twins,” are rated as two of the best guards in the conference while Slim Wintermute has no peer when it comes to height, standing a mere six-feet eight inches. Wintermute, next to Gale, is the boy the Huskies fear the most. Sarpola, the other member of the starting five, is a sophomore and hails from Astoria, the home of Anet and Johansen. Silver is a senior and won all star honors last year. Matt Pava lunas and Ford Mullen, a pair of stocky guards; tall Ray Jewell, center, and John Dick, bruising forward, also should see service for the boys in the lemon and green. Conniving on the side of Mr. Lockhart will be such stalwarts as Dick Voelker, Captain Ross Wer ner, Georgie Ziegenfuss, and eith er Pat Dorsey or Roy Williamson. The first three scored heavily in Washington’s road trip into Idaho and Montana. Williamson, a sub, has come though to threaten Dor ' sey’s place on the starting five. If the Huskies start Dorsey, the opening five for the purple and gold will be an all-letterman com bination. Last year when Oregon tied for the conference championship with these same Huskies and Washing ton State, the Ducks were able to win only one game from the Hus kies, that one on McArthur court. The scores of the games were 48 to 37, 30 to 39, 25 to 42, and 28 to 41. Alpha Hall Sweeps To Win Over Delts Win All Three Games; Theta Chis Defeat Sherry Ross Two uneven handball matches were played Thursday as Theta Chi trounced Sherry Ross hall while Alpha hall walked over Delta Tau Delta, 3 to 0. James Jarvis, Theta Chi, ad ministered a drubbing to Alan Schwartzberg of Sherry Ross in the first singles, 21-1, 31-3. Herb Clark took the second match from John Davenport, 21-5, 21-9. The doubles team of Lee and Pease won by a forfeit. In the second match of the af ternoon, Bob Wines defeated Roy Vernstrom, 21-1, 21-5, for Alpha hall's initial win. Jule Graff fol lowed by setting George Hall down 21-3, 21-3. Then Parks and McCool won over the Delt team of Baxter and Walt Vernstrom, 21-5, 21-7. By mutual consent, the macth between Alpha hall and the Delts was held Thursday instead of Fri day afternoon, as' had been pre viously scheduled. There will be no intramural handball match this afternoon. Kappa Women Take Alpha Phis, 23 to 14 Kappa Kappa Gamma over whelmed Alpha Phi 21-14 in a hard game in women’s basketball Thurs day afternoon. Alpha Phi was very - inexperienced and unable to cope with the Kappa offense, however, the playing on both sides was somewhat ragged. Alpha Phi greatly handicapped herself by her long passes which were easily in tercepted by Kappa Gamma. Lineups: Kappa Kappa Gamma Alpha Phi Thatcher.F . Howard Casey .F Theobald Roberts. F Cornish Woodruff .G . Baker Brown ..G Anders Bates .G Goresky For Kappa Gamma, the highest score was made by Roberts with 13 points, and for Alpha Phi by Cornish with 10 points. < Dortihalec Horne, graduate assitant in physical education, was referee; Ann Morris, umpire; Eileen Donaldson, card official; Mildred Snyder, scorer. DO COW- PUNCHERS APPRECIATE CAMELS COSTLIER TOBACCOS ? TED YOCHUM was born and raised in the cattle country. Speaking from personal observation, Ted says: "Cow-punchers are great Camel smokers. Seems like if a man smokes Camels once —he sticks to ’em. Come round-up time — I’m in the saddle for hours, and not sparin’ myself. A Camel sure hits the spot then. I get a mighty pleasant 'lift.’ ” Yes, and to America at large, Camel's costlier tobaccos have such a special appeal that they are the largest-selling cigarette in this country! COLLEGE STUDENT Herb Weast (left): “In that jammed-up week before exams, nerves often tighten up. I've found Camels don't get on my nerves.” AUTO MECHANIC A1 Patterson (right): “In the garage business you have to catch your meals on the run.
