THE HOT CORNER iiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiii'iiumiiiii By BILL NORENE Right now Oregon’s Ducks are i game behind WSC and Idaho ii the northern division standings but these standings promise to b< altered considerably by the end oi the week. In the interim, Idaho will hav< played three games, two with Ore gon and one with Washingtor State. Oregon will also have played three games, the two witt Idaho and the other Oregon State game. The really crucial series of the whole aggregation is of course, the Idaho series Tuesday and Wednes day. If the Ducks can come through to win both games, they will be on the road to the championship, while Idaho’s Vandals will be all but out. A split can assure the Ducks of no better than a tie with the possibility that Idaho come through to trip WSC twice very good. A double win by Twogood's boys would practically assure them of the title. They have lost only five games and will have only two games after the Oregon series— with WSC. The Cougars are practically out according to the way that we look at things. They have two games with the Huskies at Seattle, always a WSC jinx, and a two-game se ries with the Vandals, a home and home affair which will probably be split. * * * With Idaho’s never-say-tlie spir it, it will be plenty tough for the Ducks to come through, especially in both games as they must. The Vandals won in the last minute against our Ducks and then came from behind to drop Oregon State’s Beavers in both games over the last weekend. Comforting thought . . . Ala bama’s recent Rose Eowl team was supposed to be a tough last quar ter team. * * * Forrest Twogood, coach of Ida ho’s Vandals, came out recently and said that not only was this the toughest college conference in the country, but also we also have better material hero than in any other section of the U. S. However, it is peculiar to note that the first year that he came to Idaho he brought Steve Belko up from California with him. Belko is from Indiana, via a California jun ior college. Then he picked up Bren Barrett, also from Indiana, and now on his freshman quintet are several men from the Middle West. * * # Short Shots—A move has been started to abolish the javelin throw in Oklahoma because of danger to spectators . . .

NEWT” Hotelman Repeat Double Donut Hoop Wins Forrest Twogood Wins Tough Battle (Note: The following is a reprint from the Whitman College Pio neer. It is from Bob McMullen's column, "Gleanin's.'') Not long ago when the University of Idaho basketball team visited here I was introduced to Forrest Twogood, popular Vandal mentor, i Between halves I noticed a peculiarity in his walk but thought that was merely his style. However, since then I have found out that that : walk of his is really the tip off to one of the greatest success stories ■ in the sports world. Some 26 years ago when Twogood was living a normal life with his parents in the town of Marcus, Iowa, he contracted one of the most dreaded diseases of mankind—in fantile paralysis. After many hec tic weeks of suffering, Twogood ! miraculously recovered. But he was left with a badly distorted left foot and a stiff knee. Twogood Takes Up Basketball Father Twogood, realizing that his son must in some way exercise if he wished to amount to any thing, immediately bought for his limping son a complete baseball outfit. Several months were spent by the elder Twogood in attempt ing to interest his offspring to ex ercise his weakened limb. Finally he was persuaded to take up base ball, and at the tender age of six hobbled around with the Marcus I town team as its mascot. Still limping badly he turned out for baseball in gr£de school and be came one of the stellar perform ; ers. j Upon entering high school, ‘‘Two good entertained notions of playing both baseball and basketball but was denied a football suit because of his mere 125 pounds. Next sea son he persuaded his father to write a note to the coach releasing him from all blame in case Forrest became injured. At this move the coach could not refuse and allowed Twogood to be issued a suit. From then on he really went to town. First Year Good His first year of football was phenomenal. Taking over the var sity quarterback position, he did so well that he was accorded all state honors. He continued his football activities until he was a sophomore at the University of Iowa when he broke his right leg. fOTTCEST TW0600D (JcrucJt From then on he concentrated on baseball and basketball, being cap tain of the casaba team his junior year. Twogood considers baseball his best sport. At 16 he pitched for the traveling Sioux City Stock yards club. Then upon graduation from Iowa, he joined the St. Louis Cardinals and was traded around the leagues until he finally was sold to Cleveland. While with the Cardinals he worked with the famed Dizzy Dean. In 1934 he re tired from professional ball with an incurable left arm. Whatever thoughts may have en tered Twogood's head when he realized long ago what disease he had contracted, have since ban ished. He credits exercise for the development of his left leg. His limp has decreased to what many term a characteristic walk. It is really the result of infantile paral [ ysis. Duck Splashers Sunk by Beavers In Orange Pool Blond Levy Receives Only First; O.S.C. Win, 55 to 20 Jack Levy saved Oregon from a complete whitewashing Saturday i when the OSC swimming team turned under the Ducks, 55 to 20. Levy won the 440-yard free style event for the only Oregon win. Levy also placed second in the 50 yard sprints. Brownell and Brugger once more set the pace for the Beavers. Each won two first places and swam on the winning 400-yard free style re lay. Brownell won the 100 and 220 events and Brugger captured the 50-yard sprints and the 150-yard' back stroke. Levy Under Orders Levy, under orders the previous week to take it easy in the distance event in order to be in good condi tion for the relay, opened up on the 440 grind to walk off with first. Ralph Lafferty was a scant yard behind Rea of Oregon State in the breast stroke. The previous week saw Lafferty win over Rea in the Oregon pool by a like distance. Pierce Mallory turned in a good performance taking third in both sprints. Jim Smith, leading sprint er, was shifted to the distance events.

The “Greenies" trounced the Bottlers in Astoria Friday 52 to 29 and then beat a determined Longview crew, 46 to 33. Archie Marshik scored 15 points to take high point honors in the first game followed by McNeeley with 12. In the second game Earl Sandness, the big Astoria forward, stole the show by scoring 20 counters. Archie Marshik, Duckling center, tallied 29 counters in both contests for high honors. Brief Best After a brief rest over the Sun day the Ducklings were put through Warren's “inquisition" again last night as only “Honest John" can put them through. The frosh practiced shooting and drilling on fundamentals. A tough scrimmage session was also held with rangy Chet Allen and Harold Hofman receiving most of the Duckling mentor’s time. Archie Marshik was not out for practice yesterday. He was kept from practice by a sprained ankle received in the Astoria game Fri day. Archie is expected to report in time for practice tomorrow.

Aqua Ducklings Meet Salem T At Men's Tank Mamie, W e t m o r e, Dallas Expected to Lead Frosh Oregon’s stellar frosh swim team will meet one of its toughest opponents Wednesday night at 7:30 when it tangles with the Salem YMCA. Although favored to win, the Duckling outfit will run up against some of the best swimmers in the state. The most outstanding match of the evening will pit Jack Dallas of the frosh against Mack, state champ, in the breast stroke. Dallas, already one of the coast’s best breast strokers, will once more set his sights on the Pacific coast record. Dallas has consist ently bcltcred the coast record but since the meets arc not varsity affairs, the old record is still offi cial. Sherm Wetmorc will meet strong competition when he races against Jerry Midkey of the YMCA in the back stroke. Wetmore has also bettered the coast record. Jim Marnie, star frosh sprinter, will be favored to cop a first in his event. Marnie was near the coast record when he won the sprints in the meet with Uni high a week ago. Al Sanders in the distance and Elmer Mallory m the ‘diving have been consistent performers for the frosh. Jim Wilson and Wait Keller in the distances complete the seven man team.

Oregon, meet your new champions of intramural basketball, and while you’re at it, meet one of the gamest, hardest fighting outfits that ever sang of a golden-haired and blue-eyed sweetheart. Mean ing the Sweethearts from Sigma Chi, who yesterday cfropped the championship game to Alpha Tau Omega, 29 to 18. That 29 to 18 score doesn't begin to tell the story. The ATOs figured about 30 points Detter than the Sweethearts, but they don’t ngiire m tne lighting spirits of those Sigma Chis. They were out reached, outran, Outpointed, but they were never outfought. Wild Ganio It was a wild affair, with 17 fouls called on the two teams, 13 of them on the Sigma Chis. The Sweethearts started right out after the championship, and romped into a 5-to-3 lead, but the Hotel men came back with a rush to take a 6-to-5 advantage at the quarter. The azure blue and gold outfit swept irresistably through the Sweetheart defense to take a 12 to-8 lead at the half. They really began to click in the third quarter, and poured in 7 points, meanwhile holding the sig ma Chi outfit to three, but the Ho telmen earned those seven points. They aimed at the basket from un derneath single or collective Sweet- j hearts, and it is very hard to ( shoot with a Sweetheart hanging on to you. Led by Jack Stafford and Wayne Scott, the Hotelmen ran up a 21 to-11 lead early in the last quarter, but Gordy Lowry promptly went berserk, to run the Sweethearts up to within four points, 21 to 17, before he made his fourth personal and was ejected from the game. With Lowry out of the way, Stafford and Miller took a leaf from his book, and with the aid of Scott, ran up eight points while the wilting Sweethearts were held to one lonesome point. Scott Outstanding It’s a fine job to name the out standing player, but one thing is sure—there were only ten on the floor at a time. All-state Scott led his hotel mates in a beautiful ex hibition of defense, and Stafford ran up and down the flout' pelting in baskets, 9 points, to be exact. Miller was right behind him with 8. For the Sweethearts, a gentle man named Lowry took scoring honors, fouling honors and every thing else that was loose, while Phi Delt Handballers Win Championship DePittard, Jackson, Roberts, Johnson Lead Barnmen The Barnmen won the intra mural handball championship by defeating the Sweethearts 2 to 1 in three fast and furious games yesterday. In the closest game of the after noon Mel Johnson and Dick Rob erts of Sigma Chi defeated Sid Milligan and Bob Smith 21-17 and 21-7. The Phi Delts won the rest of the games comparatively easily, taking the first singles match 21-0, 21-14, with Paul Jackson playing for the Barnmen and Earl Simon sen for'the Sweethearts. Romy De Pittard played a very good game and downed a strong opponent, Ralph Amato, 21-3, 21-7. Peters turned in his usual spark ling game.

Anderson ATOs 22, Sigma Nus 20 The Alpha Tau Omega B team completed a championship sweep for the Hotelmen by nosing out the Sigma Nus, yesterday, 22 to 20, in a wild, basketball ? ? ? game. Half time score was 8 to 7 for the Sigma Nus. The game began in dashing Web foot style (Webfoot on a road trip) style, with a grand total of three points scored in the first quarter. Bun Hodgen went on a scoring jag to drop in two free throws, and give the Sigma Nus a 2-to-l lead. Jack Hay came back in the sec ond quarter to start after scoring honors, but he couldn’t quite catch up with Hodgen Bros, and Com pany, and the Hotelmen stilled trailed at the half, 8 to 7. Move Into Lead The third quarter saw the azure blue and gold quintet move into the lead for the first time. They swished the net for five points, meanwhile holding the Stews to one tally, to take a 12-to-9 lead. Eldon Wyman came in late in the third quarter and went Laddie Gale in a quiet way. He rolled up 7 points, and with them the azure blue and gold rolled up an 18-to 10 lead. That was too much for Jack Hodgen who had his own lit tle scoring party, and before the ATOs calmed him down, the score was 20 to 18. Van Dusen came right back with two more, and with two seconds to play Clifford was fouled. On the foul shot he dropped the ball to ward a teammate, but Jack Hay took it right away from him to save the game and the champion ship. In between the times Hay was saving the game he was scoring eight points to win it, too. Wyman was right on his heels with seven points, all in the last half. Jack Hodgen, the scoring half of the Hodgen brothers, was scoring 8 points to lead the Sigma Nus, while Bun Hodgen was taking the ball away from all the ATOs, checking everybody in sight, foul ing when necessary, and making himself a general nuisance to all the ATOs concerned.
