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.
Anyone being in possession of
file Delta Zeta (Corvallis chapter)
front door name plate please re
turn the same to Eugene Hotel
before Friday of this week. No
questions asked.

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.

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.”

12th at Yosemite
Washington’s purple ancl gold
Huskies rode their long slats down
the smooth slopes of the Sierra
mountains to win their third con
secutive championship in the Pa
cific coast intercollegiate ski meet
Sunday at Yosemite.
University of Oregon’s ski rid
ers, the first Webfoot entries in
history, placed 12th in a field of 16
colleges.
The Huskies from Seattle, their
skis whirling a powder blanket of
snow in the faces of trailing com
petitors, completely dominated pro
ceedings in the final day's pro
gram, placing four men in the
first five in the slalom competition.
Robinson Paces Field
Saturday Lonnie Robinson paced
the field over the treacherous
cross-country course, and Sunday,
this same lad sped over the down
hill slalom course twice to bring
in another first place for Washing
ton. His average on the two trials
was 1:18.2. The next four men to
finish were Otis Landon, Washing
ton, 1:19; Dick Mitchell, Fresno
State college, 1:21.1; Robert Hig
man, Washington, 1:21.2; and Rog
ner Quale, Washington, 1:25.
Winner of the ski jump was Carl

Oh, Hec. Ed'umundson and his

Washington may be first in war,
and first in peace, but they’re third
in the northern division.
Voelker, Werner, Lockart, Dor
sey, Ziegenfuss -what is this? It
sounds like roll call at a German

The Emerald sport3 writers will
have a chance to show the public
how to play basketball as well as
tell them, when they play the Em
erald news star! team in the first
of the “shack series” Saturday
morning.
We understand Bill Norene's
strategy is early to involve Editor
Mattingly in an argument and thus
reduce the newsies’ scoring punch.
Norene will be in the Hot Corner.

Score 37 to 0. Sounds like a foot

the Campbell Co-op was concerned
it might have been one with Ken

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

heard the score they vowed to have
a shutout in addition to running

1,000 Tobacco farmers
Bank on Bis Judgment
John L. 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.
