THE
HOT
CORNER
aiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitniniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiHiiiiiiiii
By BILL NORENE
!
It is the middle of February.
Just a little more than a week
ago the Oregon varsity started on
the second half of the northern
division schedule.
A month and a half ago (plus a
week) was Christmas.
And now the intramural basket
ball season is over.
Of course there are still the final
playoffs which will stretch the
season out another week, but with
those the season will have lasted i
only seven weeks.
The varsity season started some
time back in November, meaning
that their season will last about
four months. .
* * $ |
Don't get the idea that we are !
trying to make the intramural set
up just like the varsity. The intra
mural schedule is more of a side
line than the varsity sports are.
In addition to this, the donut heads
do not have the money and time to
put in on intramural activities. i
But still the season is too short.
If one were to go up to the gym
on a day when there were no
games scheduled, you would prob
ably find more students playing
“hunch,” the one-basket version
■> of basketball, than all other sports
combined.
* m *
Basketball has real interest to
the students. It is one of the sports
where size does not count so much.
Naturally enough the taller man
has the advantage, but by practic
ing the skills peculiar to the hoop
game, the smaller player has a
chance to equalize the differences
in size.
In addition to this there is not
the danger to participants that
there is to players in other sports.
Flaying once a week should do
little damage to arches, while floor
burns are usually the most dan
gerous injury in the game.
Therefore from three different
angles of the player’s standpoint,
basketball is a sport which should
be boosted in the intramural pro
gram.
•e 4:
But still they play volleyball
during fall term and only seven
weeks of basketball during winter
term.
Our suggestion is to designate
basketball as the intramural sport
for fall term as well as winter
term. This way a double round
robin could be played, evening up
the leagues a great deal and with
more interest to the fall term sport
than there was last term to volley
ball.

Phi Sigs to Meet High Scoring Phi Delts
In Top A League Battle Today
Sigma Alpha Mu's A team took
the undisputed championship of
their division by defeating Phi
3amma Delta, 8 to 7, in a wild and
sveird game. The contest was a
play-off game between the two top
teams.
Wierd won't begin to describe
:he game. The ferocious Sammies
climbed all over the taller Fijis,
ind rarely did the Phi Gams get
i shot at all, much less an unhur
ried one. About 9 out of 10 of
the Fiji tosses were sent from out
near the center line. The Sammies
didn’t do much better, but they
capitalized on one more chance,
and that was all they needed to
tvin.
Games Starts Slow
The game started very slowly.
Campbell dropped a gift shot in to
send the Fijis into a momentary
lead, but baskets by Frager and
Rotenberg sent the Sammies into a
four to one lead at the quarter.
Campbell dropped in another bas
ket in the second canto to leave
the Phi Gams one pointy behind at
the half, 4 to 3.
The Sammies promptly reversed
the procedure, holding the Fijis
scoreless as Rotenberg sank a long
shot to give SAM a 6 to 3 advan
tage at the third-quarter mark.
Shimshak Loops Long One
The last quarter was uproar
ious. Shimshak looped a howitzer
to send the Sammies into an 8 to
3 lead, but Hutchinson countered
with a long, angle shot to make it
S to 5. Less than one minute to
go Adams sank a field goal to
bring the Fijis within one point of
the Sammies. With only seconds
to play the Sammies tried desper
ately to hold the ball, with the
frantic Fijis calling time out af
ter each whistle. The Phi Gams
called one too many times out. but
Frager missed the free toss. With
exactly one second to go Hutchin
son took the ball from the center
jump and heaved it at the basket
as the whistle blew. It bounced
twice on the rim—and fell out, and
with it went the Fijis’ title hopes.
Campbell, with three points led
the Fijis, while Rotenberg took
scoring honors for SAM with four
points.

Staving off a last quarter rush,
Beta Theta Pi B squad defeated
Sigma Alpha Mu yesterday, 23 to
18. The victory gives the winners
undisputed possession oi secouu
place in their division.
The game was rough with 15
fouls being called on the two teams.
A slow first quarter saw the two
teams tied at three all, but the
Betas went on a scoring rampage
to lead at the half, 13 to 4. The
Sammies began to creep up in the
third quarter, and ended it trailing.
17 to 10. It was not until the third
quarter that the Sammies began to
clock. Two free throws and a bas
ket brought it up to 19-16, but
Werschkul momentarily staved
them off with a Beta basket The
Sammies came right back to bring
the score up to 21-18, and this
time it was Conrad who saved the
day with a field goal for the Be
tas. A wild flurry of shots from
under the Sammy basket failed to
score as the game ended.
Conrad' led the winners with
eight points, closely followed by
Werschkul, who had six. Cohen
and Ehrman took scoring honors
for the Sammies with 6 and five
points respectively.

the Yeomen kept on peppering the

the Phi Psis were checked to only
3 points, those caged by Simmons,
who starred throughout the game.
In the final quarter the Yeomen
moved swiftly, hitting the score
column with 6 points and holding
the Phi Psis who never gave up
despite the overwhelming score to
just one field goal.
For the losers Simmons was the
only one to hit the hoop with any
kind of regularity and that only
long enough to gather 5 points, for
he was constantly held in check by
the Yeomen. Leighton was the
only other Phi Psi to find the hoop

A Hollywood first nighter? No
—just the way Emerald sports
writers are ballyhooing a game
scheduled for Saturday morning
between the news staff and the
sports department.
For the second consecutive year,
the reportorial staff and the sports
scribes will fight it out for the su
preme championship of the
“shack.”
The newsies, said to be coached
by Portland All-Star Lloyd Tup
ling will take the floor as heavy
favorites because of their star cen
ter, LeRoy Mattingly. Coach Al
len said he would also start sev
eral outstanding players, including
Wen Brooks, pudgy reporter of the
campus police beat. Merrill Mo
ran, Bud Jermain, and Bill Pen
gra have also signed to play with
the news staff.
Coach George Pasero of the
sports scribes said he was confi
dent the sports writers would
make a good showing against the
reporters because “after telfing
Hobson all year how his team
should be run, they ought to be
able to run one of their own.” Pa
sero said he would pick his team
from the following: E. S. Sebircs,
transfer from Oklahoma, Bill No
rene, Lyle (“Half") Nelson, V.
Gates, Pat Frizzel, John Biggs,
John Pink, and Bill Phelps. Three
of these boys are professionals
from outside the league.
Dick Strite from the Register
Guard said lie would referee if al
lowed to use two whistles—one
slow one for the reporters and a
fast one for the sports writers.
The game is slated at 10 a.m.
Saturday.
Ansc Cornell, athletic activities
head, said last night that because
of the momentous importance of
this game, McArthur court will be
the scene of action.
The first overflow crowd jn
years is expected to watch the
game.

1938 Golfers
Meet Tonight
4 Place Open
Duck Coach Seeking
New Divot Diggers
For Riddled Ranks
Of 1937 Champs
Walt Cline, newly appointed
Webfoot golf coach and captain
for the 1938 season, has called a
meeting of lettermen and incom
ing golf aspirants to be held to
night in the College Side at 7
o’clock.
Cline, optimistic about Oregon’s
chances om retaining her 1937
championships in both the inter
collegiate round-robin tournament
and the northwest intercollegiate
championship, asks that all of last
year’s freshman team and all new
comers eligible for varsity play to
turn out tonight.
Only two of the par-shooting
1937 regular crew of six have re
turned for play this year, so four
regular positions are open, besides
four more alternate positions to
make up the 10-man team.
Missing from the team this year
are Sid Milligan, last year’s coach
captain and No. 1; Dave Hamley,
Doug Ramsey, and Bill Stockton.
Cline and Bill Watson arc the only
veterans.
Oregon has an impressive list of
newcomers, however, to fill team
positions. Among these are Bob
Speer, alternate from the 1937
squad; Ben Hughes, soph, who was
runner-up in the 1937 coast tour
nament at Gearhart and No. 1
player on the 1937 frosh team;
Bill Rosson, Doc Neer, and Kirk
Eldridge, winner of the 1937 spring
all-campus tournament.
At tonight’s meeting, Cline hopes I
to get a line on other golfers, to
discuss plans for qualifying, and to
discuss means of arranging a re- j
turn match with University of Bri
tish Columbia golfers, who played
Oregon golfers last spring on a;
barnstorming tour.
The Webfoot varsity crew will
make trips to Moscow, Tacoma,
Scatle, Pullman, and Corvallis this
year in homc-and-home matches.
FRENCH GRADUATES

student of the University, will
