Legal Seniors
Invited to See
Ball Exhibition
Challenges have been flying
all over the law school this week,
and the latest is one from the
first year class challenging the
seniors to a basketball game.
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.

Mites Seeing Sofe
For long hours of studying, writing, figuring and
other close work, you are assured of quantity and
quality of lighting that insures “eye-comfort” and
seeing safety. Don’t add obstacles toward good
grades when easy-seeing is so easily made possible.
