The challenge was signed': The first year class and Silver (Dave). Referring to the seniors as the upper stratosphere (hot air), the younger students said that the proposal was not so much to promote a basketball game as it was an invitation to wit ness an exhibition. Senior leaders, however, re vealed to the press that in poli cy with associating only with the best of the intelligentsia, they would ignore the summons. from at least three different meets. Consequently, the Univer sity of British Columbia meet does not count. Coach Hoyman’s prospects for a championship team next year ap pear convincing. Of his entire varsity squad, Hoyman loses only one through graduation. Bert My ers, outstanding diver for the Webfoots, finished his collegiate career when he placed third in the recent conference meet at Corval lis. There will be eight veteran swimmers and of five outstanding ifrosh two are the most talent ed swimmers in Oregon history. They are all-Americans Jack Dal las and Sherm YVetmore. Both, tankmen are Oregon’s big hopes in the 1940 Olympics. Last year in an AAU meet in the Los An geles Athletic club, Dallas defeat ed Wolfe of USC in the 220-yard breast stroke. Wolfe was on the American Olympic swimming team in 1936. Both Dallas and Wetmore have repeatedly smashed existing coast records unofficially, and both set new state records in the recent AAU meet at Portland. Moreover, Wetmore, who had never swam the crawl stroke until Hoyman took him in hand this year, copped the 500-yard grind' in this meet. Also up from the frosh ranks is Elmer Mallory, adept diver, rated by Hoyman as a sure-fire cham pion because of his poise and bal ance, and Jim Mamie, sprinter.
