THE HOT CORNER j y,' Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiitiiii'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiininiiiniiii By BILL NORENE Hobby and his boys are vindicat ed. From the very mouth of Hec Ed mundson, coach of Washington’s Huskies, we heard the words that will gladden the heart of every Webfoot fan, who before has been suffering sleepless nights thinking that our Ducks had resorted to set plays to down the Huskies 01 to 31 in their second game at Seattle. L. H. Gregory, dean of the north west’s sports editors, came out in his game story of the Oregon vic tory, charging the Ducks with charging their offensive tactics in order to beat Washington. When Coach Hobson returned from the northern invasion, he was biting nails (kind not specified). His story was that they had run the Huskies into the ground—20 points to be exact. * * * The players also claimed that they had beaten their Seattle op ponents by outrunning them. Then (tame Coach Hec Edmund son to state that Oregon did not change their offensive maneuvers in the last 10 minutes when they hit all of their 20-point lead after the score had been tied 30-all. “When the rope broke, it was still the fast break,” was the way Uncle Hector put it. Incidentally Coach Edmundson says that he hopes that Gregory had enough of the “slow-break” that he has been asking for.. Ac cording to Hec the only part of the two games that was interest ing was the last three minutes of the second game. Among other things Hec named some of the outstanding players in the northern division. He started out naming Slim Wintermute, Lad die Gale, Dave Silver, Bobby A net, and Wally .Johansen. Roy Pflugrad, who he compared to Wally Palmberg in style, was named as OSC’s outstanding play er, while A1 Hooper and Johnny Kosick were selected from the WSC team. Brendon Barrett, center, and Steve Belko, forward, were picked from the Idaho squad. Coach Ed mundson said that the Montana team looked about the same to him with maybe Bill Lazetich a little better than the others. * * * Remember when Johnny Kosich swung on Iircn Barrett in one of the WSC-ldaho series? According to what some of the Husky play ers found out while on their Inland invasion, Barrett was pulling hairs out of Kosich’s legs. Chet Kebbe is at it again. Dur ing the Washington series, the beefy Oregon State guard, slammed into Pat Dorsey, Washington guard, and parked him the third row of the bleachers. It was Kebbe who fixed Bob Hardy up with his fractured leg. * * * Roy Williamson, who alternates with Pat Dorsey at guard, played on Oregon's 1933 frosh team. How ever, he has been out of school a year or two since then. Frank Nu gent, Montana reserve, and high scorer on the Grizzly frosh last season, was in Eugene for two months before school started dur ing the summer of 193(>, but went home upon deciding that he didn't like it here.

CLEANING & PRESSING UNIVERSITY TAILOR 1128 Alder Street m We still have on our hands [3 I i q 1 !i ■ jgJjCEJMcJjl George VarotiSlated To Depart for East Slim George Varoff, Oregon’s world champion polevaulter, will write another chapter in his sky scraping duel with the Southern California vaulting twins, Earle Meadows and Bill Sefton, on Feb ruary 26 when he competes in the Amateur Athletic Union indoor meet at Madison Square Garden in New York. Announcement that Varoff’s en try had been sent to meet officials came yesterday from Colonel Bill Hayward, Wcbfoot track mentor. The tall Webfoot jumper will leave the Oregon campus by plane Feb ruary 23. Arrive Before Meet He is due to arrive in New York City in time to loosen up a day before the meet which will be held Saturday night. On Sunday, the world's indoor record holder, will leave the “big town” by plane and be back in Eugene on Monday. Varoff chose to vault in the AAU meet in preference to the Millrose games and the Boston AAA meet, both of which he entered last year. It was in the Boston AAA meet when the big Russian drew the plaudits of New York’s sports world. Limping from a sore ankle, Varoff gritted hs teeth and lifted himself into the air higher than any human had ever been in indooi vault history. He soared over the bar set at 14 feet 4 and seven eighths inches to establish a new world’s record and win from his two foremost rivals, Meadows and Sefton. In the summer of 1936, Varoff, then wearing the colors of the Olympic club, established the j world’s outdoor record, holding it until last summer when both Mea dows and Sefton broke it. The Southern Cal boys hit a new high just one inch short of 15 feet in this event. Hot Battle in East Another hot battle among the ! triumvirate for “ceiling zero” hon ors is expected at Madison Square Garden on February 26 if both of the California boys enter. Although still bothered by a ' thigh muscle which he pulled last j week, Varoff was pronounced in better shape than he was in last year at this time by Hayward. He has been working out all term; in the indoor jumping pit of the men’s gym in preparation for the coming meet. Warren Drives Frosh for Rook Tilt Here Friday Babes Are Out to Trim High Powered OSC Hoop Quintet After a 09 to 20 victory over the Santa Clara ‘‘Red Lions” last Thursday night, “Uncle” John Warren put his frosh hoop team ; through a very hard and fast prac- ; tiec in preparation for the OSC Hook games here Friday and at 1 Corvallis Saturday. Stiff scrimmage sessions are slated for the entire week and Warren hopes to have the yearling's in first-class shape by game time Friday. Several combinations were used during tlie practice, with the regu lar quintet Sandness, Hoffman, Marshik, McNeeley and Andrews seeing the most work. The Duck lings were very ragged at first and could not hit the bucket, but soon settled down and began hitting the hoop. The frosh are pointing for the Hook game and hope to add the Oregon State babes to their al ready long list of victories. How ever, the rooks after a slow start have at last hit their stride and will be out lighting to upset Ore gon's highly touted yearlings. Clayton Shaw, high scoring rook forward, whose foul shot in the final minute of play gave the OSC five a 31 to 30 win over General Finance of Salem, Saturday, and Mai Blackburn, are two of the outstanding OSC players that War ren's charges will have to stop. No statement was forthcoming (Please turn to page three) Follow — Through The question is settled. The “impossible” has happened. If you are one of the fans, like L. H. Gregory, who says it can’t be done, just ask any one of around 5000 people who saw the Webfoots outgallop Hec Edmundson's Husk ies last night. He'll say it has been done, he’ll swear by Jehosophat that Oregon out-ran Washington last night, and he'll pull your chin whiskers if you say the Oregons didn't (Washington fans only ex ception). Tomorrow, probably for the first time in many moons, Oregon hoop followers all over the state, those who saw the game and those who heard it over the radio—will set their alarms a few long minutes earlier, jump up hurriedly, and grope their way down to the porch to get the morning sheet and see what Mr. L. H. Gregory has to say about it. And if he still says Wash ington can’t be outrun, he’s liable to be the recipient of a good deal of fan mall. * * * Oregon's charming men students aid give the evening’s festivities a touch of the dramatic by chanting "Poor Gregory” at half-time when the Oregons rode the crest of a basket flood, leading by a 32-13 score . . . but the laugh of the eve ning came when the lettermen of our institution gave Tony Amato, last year’s football captain, a free ride on the palms of their hands and unceremoniously dumped him, sweating and red-faced, right in the press coop. Said Mr. Amato while shaking hands with Mr. Gregory, “Guess they're ganging up on us Greg.” And now for the first-hand info even though smeared a little by healthy sweat . . . our first victim was Captain Ross Werner, hand some, dark-haired young giant of the Huskies, and he came through very nicely for your scribe . . . They took us that first half. They played good ball, but we couldn't hit ’em.” Bespectacled and serious, canny Hec Edmundson said, "We were beaten by a ‘very’ good team.” (Please turn to page three) i Pretty Hot Washington, 13 Lockhart, f .

As far as the Campbell Co-op was concerned it might have been one with Ken neth Miller scoring most of the touchdowns for the victorious Chi Psis. Miller not only personally ac counted for 17 of the Chi Psis’ points, but was also in on every play and outstanding on the flooi with his ball handling. The game started slow with both teams fighting hard and at half time the score favored the Chi Psis 15 to 0.

Pinnix—Independent Ware houseman— is one of many tobacco experts who prefer Luckies... IN THE warehouses Mr. Pinnix has managed in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, 46,000,000 pounds of tobacco have been sold. Farmers travel many miles to bring their crops to Mr. Pinnix’s warehouse for sale. Reason is that they respect his tobacco experience and business integrity. So surely Mr. Pinnix’s views are worth your respect, too. "At every market I’ve ever attended,” says Mr. t'lnnix, LucKy outiku nas uuugm uic ripest, mellowest tobacco offered. That’s why I’ve smoked Luckies ever since I first became a warehouseman 20 years ago.” Mr. Pinnix’s statement is borne out by sworn records which show that, among independent tobacco experts — auctioneers, buyers, and ware housemen—Luckies have over twice as many exclusive smok- * ers as have all the other , - v > cigarettes combined. HAVE YOU HEARD "THE CHANT Of THE TOBACCO AUCTIONEER" ON THE RADIO? When you do, remember that Luckies use the finest tobacco. And also that the "Toasting'' process removes certain harsh irritants found in all tobocco. So Luckies are kind to your throat. I «■ WITH MEN WHO KNOW TOBACCO BEST-IT’S LUCKIES 2T01 '-35S.
