THE
HOT
CORNER
By BILL NORENE
On the road this year, Oregor
has lost five games and won onh
three, at first blush making th<
Wobfoots’ road trip record seen
to be very bad.
However, this is not the case
Instead of disastrous road trip:
being the exception this year, the’
are the vogue.
On the road this year, the Uni
versify of Washington’s Huskie:
have had an equally bad year. Or
their trip into this sector of thi
northern division they lost threr
out of four.
During the super extravaganzc
when they played six games ir
something like eight or nine days
they lost two out of six contests
This was on the trip during which
they played WSC, Montana, anc
Idaho.
* * *
Idaho also lost three out of foui
games on their first and to date
only real road trip. When the Van
dals swung through Montana anc
Washington on their journey, they
dropped two to the Grizzlies and
one in Seattle.
In addition they were also de
feated when they hopped over a
few miles to I’ullman. Where the
Vandals shine is also the strong
hold of our Ducks—the home floor,
The Vandals have lost only one
game at home, that one was tc
Hec Edmundson's Huskies.
Washipgton State's Cougars
have a little better record on the
only real road trip which they
have made so far this year. They
defeated Oregon State twice, then
lost both games to the Ducks in
their swing through the Oregon
country.
H* *1*
Montana, the cellar positionists,
have not won a game on the road
this season, while Slats Gill’s Beav
ers have won only two, both at
Montana.
So you see, Oregon’s prolific
losses on the road are really not
‘O much to worry about, although
here is no doubt that they would
have a much better chance to kick
through with a title had they
breezed through with a few more
victories on the road.
In the meantime they have three
of their five remaining at home,
while the Vandnls und the Cou
gars, the two villiuns in the east
so far us we are concerned, have
five of their six games away from
home.
The next question is whether the
Ducks home record will save them
from the depredations of the Van
dals, or will the Vandals roast the
Ducks like they did when they had
the Ducks in their own back yard.
As if it wasn't bad enough to
have to get past Forest Twogood’s
club, the Ducks then have to climb
over the Orangemen, tutored by
nunc other than Slats Gill.
If memory serves us right, Gill’s
men have six victories to their
credit, and EVERY VICTORY IS
OVER A FAST - BREAKING
TEAM. Montana four times, Ore
gon once, and Washington once.
At the same time OSC holds no
victories over either Idaho or WSC,
who play almost as slowly as the
Beavers, In other words if any
body is to stop Idaho it will have
to be tile Ducks with the Cougars
holding an outside chance to come
out on top in one of their games '
with the Idahoans.
If we can stop the Vandals, we
will have to do something to the1
Staters, and this will be a. plenty
tough trick to turn, as Slats Gill
also likes to do something to his
Beavers, usually to the discom
fiture of the slowed-down oppo
nents.
Tho chun«e» of Washington
State, we have neglected because
the Cougars have the toughest row
to hoe.
They have to outrun the Grizz
lies in Missoula's rarified atmos
phere. Then after that workout
they bump their heads into the
stone wall that is Washington.
To top it off, they have two
games with Idaho, which should be
another can or two tied to the
Cougar's tail.
What looked like last month to
be June in January, looks like a
long, cold winter now’.

Sets Record
For 16 Games
Oakridge Flash Tops
Palmberg's Tally
Mark at 202
Although slowed to a trot in his
point-making dash on the Web
foot's road trip into the Inland j
Empire, Oregon’s tall Laddie Gale
will return to Eugene today the
possessor of the new 16-game con
1 ference scoring record of 202
points.
His total smashed the former
mark of 187 points set by Wally
1 Palmberg of Oregon State college
in 1935.
The rangy forward hit only 28
points in four games againstfVash
ington State and Idaho, but his
totals up to the disastrous tour
kept his average at 12.5 points
per game. He has bucketed 68
field goals and converted 66 times
from the gift line to hang up his
mark.
Did It in First
Gale broke Palmberg’s record in
the first game of the Idaho series
last Friday night when, held to no
goals from the field, he looped
j seven free throws to surpass the
; Oregon Stater’s best effort by two '
points.
Already over the 200 point mark.
"The Lad" still has four more
games in which to establish a new ,
loop mark for the present 20-game
! schedule.
In second place, trailing Gale by
75 points, is Bill Lazetich, husky
Montanan. The Copper State hoop- i
er has slapped in 127 points.
Three Are Webfoots i
Of the first five leading scorers, J
three are from the ranks of Coach ’
! Hobby Hobson’s crew. Big Slim J
Wintermute occupies the third spot .
on the circuit ladder with 1261 ’
points, and Wally Johansen has 1
canned 118 to take over fifth place. 1
Between Wintermute and Johan- | J
sen is Steve Belko, Idaho’s big ,
threat, who has put together 122 | 1
points in 14 games. He is the only ! 1
one of the top five who have not \ f
competed in four-fifths of the ' 5
schedule. ! j
Oregon assumed the lead in an- I
other department over the week- 1
end when Bobby Anet took over S
i "bad-man' honors with 50 per- (
sonal fouls called against him in i
16 games. j

135-pound class took a decision
from Art Pearson in a very fast
bout. The time for the fall was
4.21.
Lauderback Wins
The other Oregon points came in
the first bout of the evening when
Ralph Ennins of the Wildcats came
in overweight. This gave the Ore

Bill Lauderback worked smoothly
on his heavier opponent’and gained
a decision at the end of six min

Mark Nicherson from Linfield
won a close decision from Dick
Berger at 145 pounds.
In one of Lhe best bouts of the
evening Walt Young of the Wild

a decision from Lord Fairfax Rob- |

Skirving of Oregon. Venemon won
the bout and the meet by taking 1
a slow decision in six minutes.
Linfield gained five points in the j
heavyweight class on a default.
Exhibitions Good
The exhibition matches showed
some of the best wrestling of the
meet. Shaffer of the Ducks, fight
ing at 145 pounds, took a speedy
fall from a heavier opponent in 1:02.
In another exhibition at this

won on a decision from Ralph

"Palest pair of black eye3

At the present time Knollin is

Varsity, Freshmen
Divot Diggers Meet
Veteran Walt Cline to
Be Playing Coach of

Cline hopes also to match the
Oregon championship squad
against two teams not in the con
ference, ollege of Puget Sound and
the University of British Columbia.

record stands at :19.1.
Sanders captured the 220-yarti

victory gave the Phi Delta undis

The Phi Sigs started right after
the championship from the open

ran up a six to one lead at the
quarter, anil increased it to eight
to two early in the second period,
but from there on the boys from
the barn snapped out of it and
played basketball.
Hal Morgan dropped in a trio of

In the last qaurter, the boys
from the barn really began to

the floor in the best VVebl'oot man

they hung up two points. The
frantic Phi Sigs, unable to pene
trate the Phi Dclt defense, loosed a
wild barrage of shots from around

eight points, but they were far in
the ruck at the final gun.
Hank Morgan, Phi Delt forward, '
