THE HOT CORNER iiiiioimiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiliiniiiiiiiiiiiiininiNiiniiiiiiuiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinii By BILL NORENE It's Oregon against Oregon State tonight at the Igloo so hang onto your hat. Anything can happen when it's Ducks against Beavers, and espec ially when two such canny coaches as Gill and Hobson clash. Hobson surprised the Staters and Gill when he threw up a zone in the last game here making the Staters’ block plays ineffective, but tonight is a separate chapter in their short but eventful feuds. Up and down the roast Slats Gill is known and recognized as one of the smartest mentors in the business. In addition to this his teams are well drilled and play heads-up hall, although dirtier than necessary quite often. His material, while good in some places, is never exceptional, yet he was the first northern division coach to crack Edmundson's Wash ington domination. Not only that, but he did it twice, in 1933 and j 1935. * * * In 1936 Slats practically handed the coast Olympic championship to Washington’s Huskies when he de feated Stanford in the playoffs at Seattle. That was Luisetti’s first year' and then as now Hank was the Big Bertha of Stanford barrage. Hank had taken the southern di vision by storm, and was no small influence in the Palto Alto play offs when the Indians defeated the Huskies. In Seattle, however, it was a lit tle different. Gill pulled another one of his fancy defenses out of the bag and stopped Luisetti witli six points. He used some kind of a formation which had Lanky Cliff Folen checking Hank on the inside and all-American Wally Falmberg checking him on the outside. It sounds complicated, but it held Signor Luisetti to six points and yet didn’t put so much effort onto Hank that the other members of the team were neglected. Later the Huskies slipped the Beavers the knife to win the coast Olympic playoffs and a trip to New York. So you see that Hobby and his gang really have an intricate prob lem to cope with in Slats Gill. This year Gill's material, while young, includes some of the best men that he has ever had. Ho has three men from Corval lis’ state high school champs of 1J136 in Hoy Pflugrad, Merle Kreu ger, and Ntu Warren. The least publicized member of the trio, Pflugrad, is the one who has sur prisr/il everyone, except possibly Gill himself, and become the talk of the northern division coaches. * * * Meric Kreuger, the all - state guard on the Corvallis club, has j lived up to advance dope as one [ of the smoothest sophomore for wards in the upper half of the eon-1 ference. To make matters worse GUI has better than a half dozen men who are six foot four or better. A couple of them are junior col lege transfers, while the others were membeers of last season's freshman quintet one of the best i teams ever turned out by the Or- j angc. This year, however, Gill is both ered with the trouble that ham pered the Webfoots last year. The stars or stars-to-be are all sopho mores. Next year fans are expect ing another top flight ball club from the Corvallis institution, and with Slats Gill as coach they can't be far wrong. * * * A little light is thrown on the southern division race when it is recalled that the aforementioned l.uisetti suffered an eye injury earlier in the season. The injury is generally giving in the southern half as the explanation to Stan ford’s and Hank's early season slump.

The win was the fourth straight over the Orange, and brought the Duckling victory list to 17 wins out of 18 starts. The rooks started off with a rush, and it looked as if the Oregon five would have a real battle on their hands. At the end of eight minutes in the first quarter the rook defense had held the frosh to nx points while scoring seven. Up to this time the Ducklings had failed to score a field goal. The frosh then called time out and im mediately after began hitting the hoop. Piippo Hits One Toivo Piippo sank a one-handed shot fiom far out in the corner. Sandness followed with a cripple. McNeeley than sank two long shots to give the Ducklings a com fortable lead. This was quickly cut down by the battling rooks when Shaw and Blackburn hit the bucket for six points.. With eleven mintties gone and the score tied, into the game came big Chet Allen. This seemed to be the fire that Warren's lads needed. McNeeley immediately sank a long shot, but Shaw followed with a long one to again tie the score. In a mad rush for the ball Piippo fouled Kimmel of the rooks and the Orange center sank it to put the rooks out in front, 15 to 14, for the last time in the game. Frosh Get Ahead Blackburn fouled Allen, but the Duckling center made the basket. He also tossed the gift shot through the hoop to put the frosh ahead, 17 to 15, and from then on they were never headed. Eyert McNeeley sank four howit zers for eight points, but commit ted his fourth personal foul and left the game shortly before the half ended. The halftime score was 25 to 20 for the frosh.

Bill Hayward Calls Cinder Time Trials Ducklings, Varsity Work Out Together; Divide Later Track is now gaining full mo mentum under the influence of ideal weather. Although the first, varsity meet is more than a month away the team is rapidly getting in shape. Veteran Bill Hayward has called for time trials Saturday, March 5. The freshmen and varsity will com pete in different groups although the two groups are now working out together. The general spring workouts are now being held with jumpers and weight men getting form. The run ners are doing both conditioning and form work. An added incentive to the fresh men is the possibility of meets at Portland with Portland high schools as those schools will not participate in the state high school track meet. Again Bill Hayward announced that there is a lack of material in almost all events and everyone is welcome to come' out. Don u t Wrestlers in Semi-Final Matches; Phi Delts Hold Lead Sig Eps Strong in Heavyweight Division; Bjork's Weight Too Much lor Jim Dimit; Championship Bouts Tuesday The Sig Ep and Phi Delt wrestling teams came out even in yes terday's matches with four wins apiece.

The powerful Sig Ep heavyweight division won both of their matches yesterday to enter the semi-final rounds of that division, with wins over Jim Dimit, Zcta, and Jerry Donnell, Kappa Sig. Jim Dimit put up the best match of the day when lie lost a six minute decision to his much hea vier opponent, Del Bjork, Sig Ep.

The game was wild, rough and ragged throughout. It began at a snail’s pace, and it was nine min utes before Volker, Washington center, tossed one through for the first field goal of the game. Not a player of cither team went out on fouls. The teams took the incredible total of 162 shots to garner their 22 field goals.

Ducks in Condition The Duck wrestlers, with nearly two weeks layoff since losing a close meet with the Linfield team, are in excellent shape and will present a full list of varsity men. Seven bouts are scheduled and there will be six exhibitions as well.

To Meet Linfield Wednesday night the Oregon wrestlers will meet the Linfield I Wildcats in McMinnville. This is the second meeting of the two schools. In the first meeting here, Linfield won by a score of 19-10.

Bldg., Eugene Ph. 29/aJ Varsity Splashers Meet With Washington Squad Today in University Pool Oregon’s Aqua ducks square off with the Washington Huskies this afternoon at 3:15 in Oregon’s pool. The Huskies lost Inst night to Oregon State's Beavers, 48 to 27. Today's meet promises to be the closest varsity eneounter of the season. Oregon walked over Idaho, Washington State, and the Univer sity of British Columbia, but failed ill two attempts to oonquer the Beavers. Washington is stronger on paper simply because it has strength in all departments. Both Huskies and Ducks were beaten by similar scores in their meets with Oregon State. Levy a Favorite Jack Levy, Ralph Lafferty, Bert Myers, Ralph Cathey, and Jim Smith will lead the Webfoot at tack. Levy will be a favorite in the distance events. Lafferty, a strong sophomore breast stroker, will run up against his stiffest competition when he tangles with Pat Johnson, top stroker of the conference. Johnson | set a new tank record at Corvallis last night in the fast time of 2:43.5. Lafferty hit within a few seconds of this time in the Oregon OSC meets. Langevin a Threat Myers and Cathey will meet the best diver in the conference, Willie Langevin. Both Cathey and Myers have shown possibilities of copping the conference title this spring, and today's diving contest will show what the two Oregon boys can do when the going is tough. Cagy Mike Hoyman may shift his sprinters around and use them in the longer distances. In any case George Personette, Washing ton sprinter, appears the favorite. Smith and Mallory are probable starters in the dashes for Oregon. The Oregon tankmen are in top condition for*the meet with a ten man squad suiting up this after noon. including Levy, Smith, My ers, Cathey, Lafferty, Coleman, Stewart, Starbuck, Mallory, and Hayashi. Wehfoots, Beavers Engage InHandball At 2 p.m. in the men’s gym Ore gon’s handball team will clash with the Oregon State's team, which includes some of the top ranking handball players in Oregon. While handball is a minor sport at Oregon State, this is the first inter-school match. A good show ing against the Staters increases the chances of handball being a minor sport here. The Duck team will be com posed of George Corey, Paul Jack son,, Joe Amato, Karl Koch, Sid Milligan, Jack Stafford, Dick Rus sel, and Leonard Isberg in the singles. The doubles teams will consist of Korey and Koch; Jack son and Milligan; Amato and Staf ford; Russell and Isberg; and al ternates Mel Johnson, Dick Rob erts, and Romy DePittard.
