DUCK TRACKS ■anminmmiiiiminimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiKttiiiiiiiiiiniiiinnii By ELBERT HAWKINS Before Oregon’s basketball Web foots left for their transcontinental trip to the Kast, Coach Howard Hobson made a promise. He pro mised to bring the team back in keen physical shape and ready for the conference race. “It will be for conditioning — not ‘unconditioning’,” said Coach Hobby, “to be primarily a training trip.” Then back from their jour ney came the Webfoots and they had a bad night and dropped their second game against Washington State. Came the inevitable blame: “II was the trip.” We’ll grant it, they were off, but Hobby had the Webfoots here for five days before that series, and they practiced too. And during that time they didn’t appear to be unusually tired. They appeared chipper if anything. While the Ducks were in Eugene drinking their own water, eating home food, and sleeping in their own beds, Coach Jack Friel’s Washington Staters were the travelers. They were playing four games in five nights, and having to adjust themselves to new water, food, and beds. In fact Friday before the first game, Coach Friel pointed out that he was sure Hobby’s team would be rested from their long journey whei’eas his own traveling Cougars were in for trouble. “We usually have a bad night the third night out,” he explained. Hobby thinks worry beat hj^i Webfoots. They got a little be hind, and instead of going after their points as they ordinarily would they got to worrying about how to get thore points necessary to catch up. As a result, the Ducks forgot their plays, and even suffered a lapse in defensive play. Hobby des cribed as "unforgivable” the eight or so buckets Washington State got in a radius of the keyhole. For the second night Coach Friel pulled somewhat of a change by sending two men, Jack Jennings and Bud Olson, into that unguarded area of Oregon's zone defense. Oison, you’ll remember, got six field goals dur ing the game, several of them on peculiar push s. ots from out in front of the keyhole. Laduic Gale, Oregon's hurricane forward, was reported "off hi? feed" on the eastern trip, during which time the Ducks managed to win six games out of nine while not too overly hot. But last week end in two nights he scored just ten points, eight on free throws. No. 1 reason why Laddie didn’t score was a certain John Kosich, two-year veteran, and 200 pounds and 6 feet 4 inches, who covered him like a leech and refused to l>e faked. Sometimes one or two other Cougars would shift over and cover the Oakridgo pusher when he had the (mil. Possibly lie wasn't just on edge, but Laddie Gale did got precious few wide-open, legitimate shots at the basket in those two nights. That the Orcgons weren't toe weary to gallop, horse-race, caval ry charge, and fast break may be proven by their (18 shots at the basket to 44 for Washington State, Those 68 shots on some night. might have gone for 55 or 0U points witli a reasonable shooting average. I hen too, Coach Jack Fricl brought the tallest and heaviest Cougar Quintet ho over coached out of lire Vulouse hills to plav Oregon, so why shouldn't that cluli wiii ono game from Oregon l>,\ five points when the Ducks were having an off night in shooting. The same Bud Olson who tore Oregon's zone defense to shreds with six field goals and 16 points Saturday night also did a fair job of defensive ball. His man, Bobby Anet, got but one field goal. Wally JohariBen got three off All-Con ference Player A1 Hooper, and Slim Wintermute and Bob Hardy likewise got three buckets off their respective mnn-for-man defenders, Jennings and Bill Chase. Oregon got only about 24 of (hose 68 shots in the first hall when Fricl’s man-for-raan defense was checking closely. So approxi mately 44 shots were made by Ore gon’s fast breaking offense (sup posedly travel weary—which we can’t believe) in that second half when they should have been slow ing down rather than speeding up. Washington Staters Divide Two-Game Series With Oregon : Laddie Gale Held to Ten Points in Pair Of Northern Division Games; Webfoots Win First, 46-35; Drop Second, 34-39 By GEORGE PASERO Oregon’s champions opened the defense of their northern division hoop crown Friday and Saturday nights at McArthur court by break ing even with Washington State’s Cougars in a two-game series, which, if it did nothing else, confirmed the pre-season forecast of a very hot, three-cornered fight for the 1939 title. Fans who hoped for a series sweep and a definite display of Ore gon supremacy watched the Oregons perform like champions Friday night to win, 45 to 36, and then do a reversal and lose Saturday, 39 to 34, in a rather sloppy exhibition. And in the meantime, Washington’s ever-challenging Huskies j were marcnmg 10 tne cop oi i conference heap with two wins over Idaho’s Vandals, 34 to 28, and 51 to 33. Get Early Lead The Webfoots virtually won the opener in the first few minutes. Quick flips by Bobby Anet, Slim Wintermute, and a free throw by big Laddie Gale put the Ducks out in front 7 to 0. Halfway through the period, it was 17 to 6, and at halftime, Oregon led by the same margin, 23 to 12. The second half was a different story, however, as the Cougars battled hard and closed the gap to two points, 34 to 32, by the middle of the third period. A shower of howitzers with Bud Olson and Captain A1 Hooper doing the fir ing brought the critical moment, and the Ducks took a hurried time out. At this juncture big Slim Win termute took command, and began dropping baskets with amazing ease. In five minutes, the big boy Friday night’s game: Score: W.S.C. (35) Fg Ft Tp Kosich, f ...

Off in their I shooting, taking 68 shots to the Cougars’ 44, the Ducks lacked their usual drive and threw the ball away more than once. Olson Tallies Often But, at that, it took a cool, dead-eye sharpshooter, Bud Olson, to down the Ducks. The speedy boy from Everett pushed in one-hand ers from all angles, scoring six field goals and four free throws for 16 points. In the meantime John Kosich and the equally large Jack Jen nings were ganging up on lanky Lauren “Laddie” Gale, Oregon’s 1938 scoring champ, arid holding him to five points, the number he scored Friday night. Bobby Anct flipped a shot from the corner in the first 20 seconds ! and Bob Hardy followed with two to give Oregon a 6 to 2 lead at the start of Saturday’s game. Bill Chase Helps But right there, Mr. Olson and a certain blond gent named Bill Chase suddenly found the range with long howitzers to spring | Washington State to the front 8 to 6. Oregon bounced back to lead again on Wintermute’s basket, 10 to 9, only to have the Cougars’ Jack Jennings, Vern Butts, and Ed Kerpa score to give Washington State a 14 to 10 halftime lead. Happy Jack Friel .... Washington State’s basketball coach. He should be happy for his Cougar basketball team divided a two-game series with Oregon over the weekend making it three wins in four games for a successful road trip.

The veteran Duck mentor, on the way to recovery after a severe heart attack, has asked all varsity and frosh trackmen, prospectives, and persons interested to turn out for a meeting this afternoon at i o’clock in the Igloo basement. Today will be the last chance for Colonel Bill, who has been var sity track coach and head trainer for 35 years, to meet his 1939 squad until he returns from California two weeks hence.

Bob is more commonly known as the trainer and has his “office” next to the locker rooms at McArthur court. This 6-foot, well-built man was a student of Oregon back in the old days. He graduated with the class of ’27, and has been here I since. When asked to be inter ; viewed, he smiled very handsome ly and replied, “You don't want me, there arc other men who should get the break." In Bob's possession there are a countless number of records kept [ for each player that is injured, i These records are never disposed ' of. and are kept for future, refer ence. “Injuries played an import ant part in our losing last fall's final football games,’’ Bob repott ed. “It is rather hard on the line and backfield when three regulars are out." He thinks the basketball team will have plenty of competition I two-week vacation in California wnere ne win seen the benefits of warm weather. It is hoped that the California sunshine will speed his recovery, so that he will be able to handle track when he re ; turns to the Eugene campus. At the meeting, Coach Hayward will introduce George Stovall, ex College of Idaho track coach, who will carry on the Colonel’s track work for the two weeks of Hay ward's southern sojourn. Stovall is working for his mas ter's degree, and assisted Coach John Warren with freshman foot ball last fall. this year, but they should come through. “The loss of Dave Silver and the optimism of the other coaches makes me feel this way.” Coach Hayward has been a dad to Bob, and taught him all he knows.

Leonard Gard led the scoring in the double bill by dropping 27 counters in two games. He garnered 19 points in the first tilt, but was held to onlv two field goals and four gift shots in the second. Morrie Stremick, Portland’s 1938 scoring champ, was second with 16 points, making 14 of the total in the last game. Stremick was evi dently off his usual caliber in the first battle as he continually missed setups all during the game. His ability to drop long shots kept his team up with the frosh till the last half of each game. Altitude Helps Superior height of Warren’s re cruits was a very instrumental factor in both wins. Les Thompson and Elliott Wil son, lanky centers, used their height to good advantage in both games, but still show lack of prac tice in shooting, pivoting, dribbling, and passing. Doug Caven and Burke Austin sparked the frosh offensive as they romped the floor in true Anet and Johansen fashion. Both men still need a great deal of prac tice at shooting and passing. Dick Heln'er and Morrie Stre mick were outstanding ball handl ers for the Commerce quintet, with Jack Shelly doing good work at the center berth.
