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.

In 'A' Contests
By DOUGLAS PARKER
Beta Theta Pi, led by Welling
ton “Wimpy” Quinn, snowed the
Kappa Sig “A” team under, 42
points to 13, Thursday while the
Fijis subdued Sigma hall and the
Pi Kaps turned back Phi Sigma
Kappa. 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.

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.

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 Physical Education club’s
donation to intramural basketball,
the Fizzeds, gained an early lead
over Gamma hall and held it
throughout the game. The Gam
mas threatened to tie the score
several times in the second half,
but were unable to overtake the
classy Fizzeds.
Cecil Warner and Stew Marsee
were the leading scorers for the

Frosh Organizing
Sguad for Season
Salem 'Y' Eugene
High, Rooks, Uni-Hi,
Booked by Frosh
A definite schedule? 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.

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.

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.

received a letter from any college
in a conference equal to the Pa
cific Coast conference that they
were eligible. This ruling, Bogue
said, made junior college and
teacher college transfers eligible
for intramural competitoin.
