Watch the All-Stars! Four Play Tonight By Paul McCarty The Facific coast conference’s northern division all-star team will play at McArthur court tonight! Such an occurrence seems an al most impossibility, but regardless, four players who were awarded po sitions on the 1937-38 northern di vision first team all-star squad are scheduled for the starting line ups in tonight's basketball opener «.t the Igloo. Playing their last season of bas ketball for the University of Ore gon, three members of this all-star quartet, Laddie Gale, forward and northern division scoring record holder; Urgel “Slim" Wintermute, center and the "Sequoia of the Pa cific coast conference," and Guard iWally Johansen, one of the famed Astoria troupe, are Webfoot hoop sters. This tr io will head the Ore gon lineup, aided by Bobby Anet, guard from Astoria and Bob Har dy, Southern Oregon normal trans fer. The remaining all-star who swings into action tonight is A1 Hooper, a guard on the visiting r‘dJ.rk horse" Washington State ball chub.

They are probably one of the highest-scoring group of players ever assembled on the floor at McArthur court. Hooper’s quota of these thou^nd plus points includes only his conference scores, while for Gale, Wintermute, and Johansen, the entire season's tal lies are counted. The fifth man of the all-star team is Steve Belko, Idaho for ward, who does not play in Eu gene until February 10, when Ida ho invades the Oregon territory. Second Teams, Too All-stars playing tonight are not confined only to first-team men, however. Washington State has one player on its club who was vot ed a second-team center position for the 1937-38 season. Johnnjr Kosich by name, he is a senior in years. Of the ten all-stars chosen by coaches and players of the North west conference last season, only two, Bill Kramer of Idaho and Clyde Carlson of Washington State, are missing from this year's line ups.. In other words eight of the ten all-stars are still in suit. The ones not already mentioned are Roy Williamson, the sensational forward of Hec Edmundson’s Washington quintet, and teammate George Ziegenfuss, a guard. i Big Boys Parade in Duck Cougar Tilt Laddie Palms 'Em Laddie Gale . . .

POMEROY’S ICE CREAM Across from Sigma Chi @J[3EIBMSI5ISJ3I3M3MF3I2I313J3I3®3JSI3® Tall Webfoots Meet Match in Height; WSC Boasts Weight Advantage By George Pasero i i The “battle in the clouds” may well be the theme of tonight'3 hoop classic between the unbeaten in conference play) Cougars of Washington State and Oregon's tall Ducks, defending champions of the northwest. Of course this description, “bat* tie in the clouds,” precludes the possibility, and a very good pos sibility it is, that this very exclu sive “tall man” series may be fought out in the stratosphere. That is, should Coach Howard Hobson and Coach Jack Friel of the Webfootd and Cougars, re spectively, play all of their big men at once, the round hoop which extends outward from the back board and which has been an open target for so many hoopers in time past might find itself in the very unusual position of looking up at the players. And then, too, the game might be complicated by the necessity of dodging McAr 1 thur court rafters by players of | both teams. Or Would It But this would not be conducive to good basketball, and would not meet with every fan’s approval, and so Messrs. Hobson and Friel will insert their smaller dynamos. such as Bobby Anet, Wally Jo hansen, and A1 Hooper and Bud Olson, ’these boys’ jobs will be to meet the aerial attacks with dev astating, sure-fire speed scoring, 1 much as the “splinter” boats i raised havoc with submarines in ! the Great War. | The fact is that these Oregon’s are tall, and these 1939 Washing ton Staters are tall, as tall as the Ducks if not taller, and a good deal heavier. Undoubtedly, the Ducks no longer are the undis puted! “champs of height” as they were last year, they still have sky scraper No. 1 in Slim Wintermute, who stands a mere six-feet-eight, One Inch Ahead At that, Big Slim will only hava a one-inch advantage over Paul Lindeman, the big Cougar sopho more find, who is a very husky boy, weighing 223 pounds. Then, too, on the Cougar side in the clash of Oregon “tall firs” and the Palouse country’s “tall pines,” are such beanpoles as Jack Jen nings, regular center and six-four;' John Kosich, six-four and 200 (Please turn to page six) Eve.ry day wear is hard on shoes, too . . .
