Water under the bridge:
Headlines in the University of
Oklahoma announce the entering
of the Sooners into “big time’’
competition next fall with the
Sooners’ scheduling of Washington
State college for a game December
3.
The Cougars are described as
perennial football champions of the
Pacific Coast conference. No doubt
California, Washington, Stanford,
and USC will be glad to hear of
this. * * *
Dr. Alfred Strauss tried to get
Bill DeCorrevont to go out to the
University of Washington, but now
that Bill has decided to go to
Northwestern, Bob Cahen, Wash
ington Daily sports columnist,
comes out in his column and says
that the Huskies didn’t want De
Correvont so badly after all.
He quotes Frank Monkus, mem
ber of the Husky frosh, who op
posed DeCorrevont in the Chicago
high school championship game in
1936.
In it Monkus said: DeCorrevont
was . . . plenty good . . . past the
line . . . he’s almost impossible to
tackle. . . . But he’s always running
out of bounds when he saw he was
going to be hit . . . a couple of us
boys decided to see if he could take
*t ... I hit him high, the full hit
low, and the end piled in for good
measure . . . they carried DeCorre
vont off the field.

Gale Breaks Record
Held by Palmberg;
7Free Throws Do It
Junior Forward Has Six Games to Set Real
Record; Failed to Get Field Goal Against
University of Idaho's Vandals
All hail the new northern divi
sion scoring record-holder!
He is Laddie Gale of Oregon,
and in only 14 games lie cracked
a mark which lias withstood the
attacks of other basket bombar
diers in the northern loop since
1935.
Coach Hobby Hobson's gangling
ace, although failing to hit a single
field goal in Saturday night's game
with Idaho, canned seven free
throws from the gift line to sur
pass Wally Palmberg’s total of 187
by two. The Oregon Stater's record
was established under the old 1G
game season.
Held to only eight points by Hill
Kramer of Idaho Friday night,
Gale needed but five points to tie
Palmberg’s record when he trotted

onto the floor Saturday night, but
once again Kramer was riding him
hard, lie found field goals harder
to hit than match heads at 40
paces.,
With a mintuc to go, “The Lad”
had tied the coveted all-time mark
with his fifth straight conversion.
Then, with Oregon trailing by two
points, Gale was fouled again, and
he calmly stepped up to the key
hole and bucketed both attempts
to write his name alongside that
of Ed Lewis, Palmberg, and other
point-minded greats in the pages of
northern division annals.
With only a few seconds remain
ing and the score knotted at 34-all, ■
a foul was called on Gale, his
fourth personal of the game, and
Willis Bohman, Idaho sub, sank
the toss that beat the Webfoots
for the second straight night, 35 to
34. Friday night the Vandals won
33 to 38.
Gale has six games left In which
to add to his total and set a greater
high for himself and other hopefuls
to shoot at next year.
The tall sharpshooter's feat in 1
surpassing previous marks in the
scoung department, was little so
lace for Hobson, however, as the
Lucks tumbled out of first placet
in the championship chase for the j
first time this year.

March of Defending Champs
By BILL PHELPS
Alpha Tau Omega’s squad ran right over Delta Upsilon and into
the division championship yesterday, 38 to 10.
The Hotelmen jumped into an early lead, and easily pulled away
from the DUs. Baskets by Anderson, Graybeal, and Hay ran up a
12 point lead in the first quarter, while the frantic DUs were unable
to score. They managed to sink one basket in the half, meanwhile

Tomorrow Noon
Co-Captains Dallas,
Wetmore Will Lead
Team Wednesday
University of Oregon’s frosh
swimming team opens its schedule
Wednesday evening at 7:30 in the
University pool when it clashes
with University high school.
Pre-meet favorites, the freshman
squad is composed of some of the
most promising Duckling swim
mers in years. Mainstays of the
team will be Co-captains Jack Dal
las and Sherman Wetmore.
Dallas was rated as the best
high schooler in the 100 - yard
breast stroke last year by the
NCAA. He comes from Long
Poly.
Wetmore, also of Long Beach
Poly, was one of the best back
strokers in high school competi
tion.Wetmore is getting in condi
tion for a try at the state AAU
title in the back stroke which has
been won for the past few years
by Fred ltossiter of Multnomah
club.
Mamie Outstanding
Third outstanding man is Jim
Marnie from Honolulu, who is fol
lowing the footsteps of the Ha
waiian boys, Hurd and Sexton,
leaders of Oregon swim teams in
the Pist.
Elmer Mallory, brother of the
varsity sprinter, is the only frosh
diver. Wilson and Keller will in
the middle distances.
University high school, coached
by Leonard Scroggins, will put out
a strong team against the frosh.
Gerald Huestis, state high school
champ in the 100-yard backstroke,
will give Wetmore a hard battle.
His brother, Ralph, was one of the
state’s best high school paddlers
in the 100-yard breast stroke and
will offer plenty of competition for
all-American Dallas.
Other swimmers for the Uni out
fit are Dick Smith, John Merrell,
Alan Card, Lumbers, Hoffman,
Sargent, and Young.
holding the ATOs to a 19 to 2 lead
at the half.
The ATOs never let up in the
third quarter, and led 31 to 4. at
the end of it. ATO substitutes car
ried on the massacre in the final
quarter.
Jay Graybeal of football fame
I copped scoring honors with 11
points, closely followed by Kar
stens wih 8. Corby led the routed
DUs with 4. The game was the

It was only by the grace of God
that the haliers got the four points.
Omega placed only four men on
the floor for the first quarter and
a half, and was helpless as the co
op ran up a 9 to 0 lead at the half.
Reinforced midway in the second
period they were still unable to
score and trailed at the half, 22 to
0 and again at the quarter, 26 to 0.
In the final canto a wild flurry of
shots and a suitable number of
prayers were aimed at the back
board and heaven respectively, and
two of the shots went in, to ac
count for four points. So amazed
were the Soupers that they quit
shooting, and contented themselves
with the 4 points they already had
for the quarter.
Burke and Argyris led scorer:
with 12 and 11 points respectively
The game was too lethargic to be

Saturday
Anyone watching John Warren's
frosh work out in the Igloo
yesterday would have been in
doubt whether it was a dancing
or skating party. The Igloo
floor had been waxed for the
Senior Ball Saturday night and the
big Ducklings had trouble keeping
their position vertical.
The frosh, having won the two j
OSC games over the weekend are
in training to meet the powerful
Longview high school quintet in
Longview Saturday. The youthful
Oregonians took the Rooks here
Friday with a 51 to 31 score and
then nosed out the Orange team
at Corvallis Saturday with a 10
to-41 win.
Archie Marshik, big Ducking
center, led all scorers with 27:
points for the two games. Karl'

second place honors.

and Allen, the tall boys of the
squad, were given most attention
by the Duckling mentor. A short
scrimmage session was also held,
but the floor was too slick for fast

Cathey Beats Myers;
R. Lafferty Wins at
Breaststroke; Only
Webfoot Firsts
Oregon’s sophomore swimming
team lost its season’s first dual
meet Saturday afternoon when
Oregon State turned the Webfoots
under, 48 to 27.
It was the first defeat in inter
collegiate dual meets that any
Hoyman coached Duck team has
experienced. Oregon’s last defeat
was in 1933.
Ralph Cathey, Oregon’s promis
ing soph diver, turned in a stellar
performance to grab first place
honors from his teammate, Bert
Myers. Ralph Lafferty in the
breast stroke took the only other
first place for Oregon.
Brownell, Brugger High
Brownell and Brugger of the
Beavers were high point for the
met with 11% points each. Brown
ell walked off with both 100 and
220 yard free-style events. As
anchor man in the 440 yard free
style relay, he cut down Oregon's
lead and nosed out Jim Smith to
add 7 points to his team’s total.
Brugger won the 60-yard free
style sprints, the 150-yard back
stroke, and also swam in the 440
yard free style relay.
The 60-yard free style was any
one’s race from start to finish.
Brugger nosed out Jim Smith and
Pierce Mallory with a burst of
speed in the last few yards. The
100-yard dash was close, too, with
Brugger edging out Smith for first
place.
Burns Walks Away
The biggest walkaway was the
440-yard free style race in which
Burns of OSC finished a lap ahead
of Jim Levy and two laps ahead of
Tom Hayashi. Burns took a wide
lead at the start, so Levy clack
ened his pace and coasted in for
second place.
The only fast time was in the
300-yard medley relay.

i lows:
300-yard medley relay: Won by
OSC (Vogland, Rea, Koski). Time,
