DUCK j TRACKS ■miwimMiuiiiniiiiuiiniiiininiiMniuiiiiuiiHniiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiHiiiHinniHiiiini By ELBERT HAWKINS Lost I’y graduation, one man: Chet Kebbe, three-year veteran. That’s the story behind Oregon State’s basketball quintet which last year finished fifth in the north ern division with six wins in 20 games—one being over Oregon. Washington State’s Coach Jack Friel had this to say of the Orange men when he was in Eugene: “They are apt to be dangerous yet and should show much improve ment.” Reading between lines you might interpret that as meaning Oregon has nothing to worry about tonight. Friel apparently meant as much . .. BUT when Oregon’s high-riding Webfoots played their first Corval lis game last winter the situation was similar. Slats Gill's team was even more inexperienced than now, and Hobby’s juniors had piled up three straight conference victories and were already built up as the team to beat. Rugged Dave Silver, sole 1939 first team loss, was out with mumps, true. But canny Slats Gill was laying for Oregon. And when Slats Gill is after one particular game he is hard to beat. The result was Oregon State 36, Oregon 32. It was a dream come true for the in ferior collegians of Corvallis who admitted themselves they had played a game which had been care fully planned and mapped out by Slats beforehand. What style of play will Slats Gill employ against Oregon ? Slats, you know, is noted for us ing the type which will work best against any particular opponent. Early in the season he used the fast break to good advantage. In fact his great 1933 and 1935 teams used it. Like most coaches, too, he uses both a zone and man-for-man de fense. Against Oregon he’ll undoubted ly employ the same tantalizing slow-breaking “percentage system” which beat Oregon last year. Not because he beat Oregon one game last year with a slow break, neces sarily, but because the Oregon Stat ers of 1939 don’t figure—on paper —to out-drive Oregon. Apparently Slats Is going to send "big boys” against Oregon which is probably why Hobby has been using Oregon’s husky John Dick in prac tice this week. Rough-arid-tough Elmer Kolberg weighs 205 pounds, Frank Mandic 205, Bill Stidham 207—there’s plenty of beef all right if Slats Gill uses it. * * * C'huck Elliot, Eugene high ath lete, recent winner of the Wiltshire award for outstanding sports achievement in Lane county, is the son of Charlie Elliot, campus bar ber. Charlie Sr. says Charlie Jr. is planning to enter Oregon next fall. Chuck w'eighs 230 pounds, slurs in football, plays basketball to keep In condition, and is state prep shot put champion. Iaist year he fell only 7 inches short of the stale rec ord held by BUI Hlucklcdgc of Cor. vallis high (now an Oregon Stater), cracking it several times unofficial ly. This spring he’ll have another chanee at the record. Advice to the school: don’t lose him. Here's an angle, coming from a campus authority on Portland's high school basketball set-up. Commerce high, which was un ceremoniously dumped twice last weekend by John Warren's frosh , basketball team, rates along with Grant and Jefferson as a favorite to win the Rose City prep cham pionship this winter. If the state association should allow Portland representation in the state tourney on the provision that, nine tenners he declared ineli gible, here would l>e the situation. Grant and Jefferson—and probably several other Portland teams— would Ih‘ riddled by the rule. Com merce high's lineup would he un touched and untarnished and would go into the state show at 100 per cent strength. The tall boys of Oregon .State's basketball team are . . .

All three games were in the A league. Quinn, who potted 20 points for the Betas, was the outstanding man on the floor. The ex-varsity squad man heaved shots from ev erywhere and combined with Foot baller Steve Anderson in many a fancy pass play. Anderson was sec ond high point, with nine counters, while Ralph Moore of the Kappa Sigs scored four points to lead his outfit in scoring. The game was intermittently rough with Frank Emmons, varsity fullback, plowing through oppo nents when he couldn’t go around. Anderson was credited with the most spectacular shot of the game when he twisted one in from directly beneath the basket. Score: Betas (42) Livingston, 8 Harrow, 5 . Quinn, 20. Wolcott .

Rudy King and Dan Hogan sparked the winners with six points each. Outstanding ball handlers for the Phi Sigs were Carter Fetsch and Estley Schicli, who came through with a long one near the end of the first half for the Phi Sigs’ only basket of that period.

Phi Delts, Zeta Hall, Gamma Hall Fall in Intramural Tilts By WILBUR BISHOP Sigma Phi Epsilon took a hard fought game from the Phi Delts, 15 to 13, in intramural basketball yesterday. The SAEs emerged from a loosely-played contest with Zeta hall on the long end of a 10 to 3 count, while in the other "A” league game, the newly organized Fizzeds won a well-played game from Gamma hall, 19 to 13. The Sig Eps had to overcome an early lead in defeating the Phi Delts. At the end of the first quar ter the Phi Delts were leading 5 to 2. Dominic Giovanini opened the second quarter for the Sig Eps with a one-handed push shot, and Harold Morgan dropped in a foul shot for the Phi Delts. Jack Waits came up with a field goal and Vic Reginato followed with a shot from the keyhole to give the Sig Eps a 7 to 6 lead at half-time. In the second half every player on the Sig Ep team scored at least one point to bring their total to 15. Morgan sank two field goals I to keep his team in the running, but a last-minute basket by Regi nato put the game on ice for the Sig Eps. The lineups: Sig Eps (15) (13) Phi Delts Bean, 1.F . 5, Morgan Long, 2 .F . 4, Dixon Reginato, 4 .C . 3, Shipley Giovanini, 4.G .. 1, Stephenson Waits, 4 .G . Feasley S . Dyer SAE 10, Zeta Hall 3 Claude Hockley with six points led the SAEs to a 10 to 3 win over Zeta hall. His two field goals in the first half made up half of his team’s points and one basket in the second period completed the scor ing for the SAEs. The Zctas were unable to score until the closing minutes of the final quarter when Gordon Landeen dropped in a field goal and a free throw. Both teams played a slow game with neither showing any ability to get started. The SAEs’ scoring came only in spurts. The lineups: O’Reilly, 2.F . Keller Meek .F Frizzell Shearer.C .

No—but there's some real sailing for Ore gon's frosh swimmers to spike their sails for this season. A match with the Salem YMCA has been definitely scheduled for Wednesday, January 25. The Duck lings will buffet the waves with the Oregon State Rooks twice, probably on the days preceding, varsity matches with the Beavers, February t and March 4. Annual competition with Kugene high and Uni-high has become tra ditional, and this year will be no exception. Last year's Uni team won the state high school swim ming championship, but they will face two of their last year's stars' ' Jerald Heustis and Dick Smith this year. Heustis was state high school champ in the breast stroke before entering the University. Smith was rated as one of the state's top notchers iu the sprints while in high school. Loose, Lithe, Limber Ted Sarpola . . . Oregon’s whirling dervish, one of the coast’s most colorful shooters, is expected to see action at forward tonight against Oregon State. Whitfield, to Fight AAU Champion — Saturday night at McArthur court Smokey Whitfield, Oregon’s own Golden Glover, will climb into the squared circle against Wayne Dillingham, the Elks club’s great est claim to fame. Dillingham was state A.A.U. champion in his weight last year. Twelve other bouts are sched uled, six boxing matches, and six wrestling goes. Jack Fruitt is slated to make the 175-pound try with Glenn Isnogal, Benny Hall’s new Elks find. Edwin Harding, Oregon’s glove tosser, will square off against Glen McCall. Harding, in a pre vious bout with the Elks club, smashed his way to a technical knockout over Harold Besson at 145 pounds. Collier vs. Miller Cam Collier will spend his nine minutes in the ring for Oregon , against Howard Miller. Wayne Towne is scheduled to meet Bob McChesney in a return engagement. McChesney, battling for the Elks scored a decision over Towne in the former engagement. “Tiger” Nicherson, Oregon let terman, tangles with Jim Pifer in the other 135-pound limit. Jim Greene, Oregon 118-pound er takes on Art McChesney in the only other boxing bout. Both Mc Chesneys fighting for the local Elks are Oregon freshmen. In a special paperweight exhi bition, two of Benny Hall’s 50 pounders will sling the leather. Six of Herb Colwell's wrestlers are certain of berths against Cen tral “Y” of Portland on the com panion feature. • These are: Bill Lauderback, Jim Mountain, Burt Dake, Mort Myers, Hal Spence, and Dale Peterson. Hobby, Slats Meet Tonight in Thirteenth Tilt — Duck Mentor Holds Eight to Four Edge In Hoop Rivalry Tonight's Orange-Webfoot hoop clash will mark the 13th meeting between Hobson-coached and Gill coached basketball teams since Howard Hobson came to Oregon four years ago. Over the three-year period of rivalry, Hobson holds a decided edge. In that time, Iemon-and-i green teams have won 8 out of 12 games. In 1936, Hobson’s first year as a northern division coach, his Ore gon team, bolstered by transfers who came up with him from Sou thern Oregon normal, won only the first game of a four-game series from the Beavers, led by all-Am erican Wally Palmberg. Sweep All Four A year later, the Ducks swept every game from the Beavers, and last year they won three out of four. Coach Gill is coaching his elev enth season at Oregon State, and during the 10-year period, he has piloted the Orange to 17 victories over Oregon. Oregon’s Webfoots boast 21 wins over the decade of struggle with the Gill zone defense. Scores of games since 1935-36 season: 1935- 36 season: Oregon 29, Oregon State 27. Oregon 23, Oregon State 49.

HOWE EC ENROLLMENT UP Enrollment in the Home Econom ics department has increased from its total of 360 last term to 412 this term. This increase is probably caused by the fact that students can have more electives winter term than in the fall, so many of them choose home ec courses, stated Mrs. Mary B. Farr, instructor in the Home Economics department. No. Name Blackledge, Bill Garbould, Bob .. “'“‘Harris, Mai . “'Hunter, A1 . Kessler, Dick .
