Pennant Mad Hoopers Drill For OSC Five Hobson's Webfoots To Play Last Game Of Year Saturday In Corvallis. Oregon's pennant-bound basket ball boys, victorious over the de termined Oregon State Beavers Saturday night by a 40-to-22 score, donned their Lemon and Green practice suits again last night, this time in preparation for the “last mile’’ in their driving battle for the northern division hoop tiara. . Saturday night Coach Hobson’s boys travel to Corvallis for their final game of the season against Slats Gill’s Orangemen, and Hobby means to have his boys well pre pared for the “slow breaking” Orangemen. Session Is Short Last night, the Ducks raced through a lively but short session devoted to Oregon State offensive tactics. Hobson pointed out de fects in his team’s zone defense Saturday night against the Beav ers. Hobson worked his first five— Dave Silver, Laddie Gale, Slim Wintermute, Bobby Anet, and Wal ly Johansen—on defensive tactics with the reserves taking the role of the Beavers and running OSC plays at the first team. Matt Pavalunas and Ford Mul len, guards; Ray Jewell, center; and Ted Sarpola and John Dick, forwards, were the “Beavers" on the court. Ilobson Alternates Men Hobson also alternated his re serves with his first-stringers, giv ing every player a chance to drill on the zone defense.

WASHBURN ES 6S THE CAMPUS IS THE Dudley Field Shop * , '^AVUM:\OMnSt^L . WAfHBURtJE/ Phone 2700 Mike Hoyman shuffled his swim mers and dealt out a new deal— with the sole intent of taking as many seconds and thirds as pos sible. This strategy came so close to success that only one point separated the victors from the losers. 300-Yard Team Wins The Aquaducks started off with a bang as the 300-yard medley team of Levy, Lafferty, and Mal lory paddled to victory. Blond Levy, the star distance man, was used in the backstroke and kept pace with Bill Wilcox, one of the fastest back-strokers in the con ference. Allen of Washington nosed out Oregon's Smith in the closest race of the afternoon. Both men reach I ed out to touch the edge of the pool at the same time, but Allen's reach was* longer. George Personette, fastest sprinter in the conference, was clocked in the fastest 60-yard sprint of the year. His time of :30 will stand as present northern divi sion record, since the sprint dis tance has just been adopted by the conference this year. Tom Star buck, ordinarily a backstroker, turned sprinter for this event and came through with a second. Ore gon led by one point at this stage. Bert Myers Wins Bert Myers and Ralph Cathey of Oregon and Willie Langevin of Washington bunched together in a diving duel. Myers beat out the Washington ace who ranked as the foremost diver in the conference. Pierce Mallory, up-and-coming sophomore prospect, pushed the veteran Personette in the 110-yard free style. Personette won by a yard, but Oregon still led by three . points. Wilcox of Washington beat out i Coleman and Starbuck, U. of O., in i the 150 back stroke. Washnigton then took the lead as Pat Johnson defeated Ralph Lafferty of Oregon in the 200-yard breast-stroke and Yake finished third. Oregon then went into the lead as the 440-yard free style swim mers trounced the Husky tankmen. Levy led the field by half a tank, and Smith, swimming a distance not his specialty, came through with a close second. Oregon led by 6 points. Then came the final relay event which Washington won. Personette Outstanding George Personette was the out standing man of t}ie afternoon with firsts in the sprints, and an anchor position on the winning 400 yard relay team for 11% points.

Idaho Takes Second Game From Cougars (Continued from page one) they had to win to keep pace with Washington State in the bitter . race for the conference crown. They sifted through Oregon State’s best defensive efforts on McArthur , court Saturday night to win. Six thousand Eugene fans cheer ed them on as they raced through I the Beavers, all the time hoping for an Idaho win over Washington State—a win that would have ele vated Hobson's boys up to a tie for 1 first place. Oalc High Led by Laddies Gale, who re turned to old-time form by slap ping in five field goals and eight free throws in 11 chances for an 18-point total, the Oregons were just too good Saturday night. Al though Slats Gill worried in his usual manner, and his hoopers tried all the slow-break tactics in the book, the Ducks kept hammering away at the hoop to lead from the very first. Slim Wintermute, sky-scraping center, wasn’t far behind Gale. He reached up and laid the ball through the hoop six times in addi tion to converting twice to roll up a 14 total. The Ducks jumped to an early lead despite the Beaver’s "slow ’em-up” game. The Webfoots led at halftime, 25 to 13. No Score 7 Minutes As the second half opened, the Beavers crawled back into their shell and for nearly seven minutes neither team was able to score. Gale finally broke the ring around-the-rosy game by grabbing the ball and breaking to the key hole where he looped it in. Only four members of the Ore gon squad were able to find the hoop against the Orangemen, but these four poured in enough to give the Ducks a thorough margin. Sil ver and Anet aided Wintermute and Gale in piling up the points. Saturday night’s game was the last home game for Oregon’s great 193S team, and the last for two of its integral parts—Dave Silver and Kay Jewell, the only two seniors on the team.

While the pledges threw dirt out in the grass, spectators were informed that the hole was for oil, or that the boys were “dig ging a well to cut down the house bills.” Later in the day, a 35-foot steel flag pole was raised and set in the concrete base. It was stayed in three directions until - the concrete becomes dry. I- Crowning the pole is a white cross, symbol of the fraternity and not. a sign of Rev. Apple gate's mission as some campus rumor said. One member was asked why the house decided to erect the pole. "The mother’s club donat ed the flag,” he replied, “so we ! had to have some place to fly it.” NIGHT GOLF FOR MIAMI Miami, Fla. -A hole-in-one con test will be conducted for six i nights under lights, February 21 26, and sponsored by the Miami Herald The contest will be held on a 110-yard hole at the Flagler | C.

Varoff flew to the track meets he participated in and returned the same, way. Oregon's George Varoff, world’s indoor pole-vault record holder, sailed over the cross-bar set at 13 feet 6 inches in the jumping pits of Madison Square Garden in New York Saturday night, but gained only a second-place to Dick Gan slen, Columbia university’s ace vaulter .in the national AAU in door championships. Officially, Varoff tied Ganslen as both boys cleared the same height, but Ganslen twisted over in one less jump than Varoff to gain the win. Jumping in his first meet of the year, Varoff failed to come close to his world’s record of 14 feet 4 5-8 inches which he set in the Bos ton AAU indoor carnival a year ago. Committee Selects Armament Policy As Essay Subject “An Armament Policy for the United States” was selected Mon day by the faculty subcommittee as the subject of the Philo Sher man Bennett essay contest for this year. The subcommittee decided to offer two prizes this year, a first award of $25 and a second of $15, the second to be given only if the judges, later to be selected, should decide it was worthy. Under the rules, the essay is to be not more than 5,000 words in length, and the committee, while setting no minimum, suggested that the contestants make an ef fort to approximate the maximum limit. The first prize of $25 was won last year by Dean Ellis, now a sophomore in law. The contest is restricted to un dergraduate students, who are asked to notify George Turnbull, chairman of the subcommittee in charge, of their interest in the competition. Further information regarding the regulations will be made on application to him. Members of the faculty arc asked by the subcommittee to noti fy members of their classes re garding the contest. Prexy Don Erb Questions Own 'News' Value When Dr. Donald M. Erb, new University president, was ush ered into his new office in John son hall yesterday, he found him self face to face with a news photographer, who had come to i get shots of the new president I in his nrw position. Dr. Erb, always m a coopera I tive mood, posed for a number of ) shots with Dr. C. Valentine Boyer, and new coach “Tex" Oliver. At last Dr. Erb queried I the photographer, modestly. “By the v,ay, when do I cca^e to become news worthy?’’ Oregon Handballers Squash Orangemen Oregon's handball team defeated the Oregon State team in their first interfraternity school match es scoring 12 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie. This is the first time that the two schools have played any hand ball matches and with the showing that Oregon put up, there is a pos sibility that the game may be made a minor sport. In the singles the team made a clean sweep of all the matches. The only two games dropped were in the doubles, and the tie occurred in the doubles when the Oregon State team had to return to Cor vallis before they could finish the match.
