DUCK TRACKS ..... By ELBERT HAWKINS Lying on Anse Cornell’s desk at McArthur court is a copy of sheet music, entitled “The Coaches Moan Song,” from the Athletic Round Table, Spokane. A bit suggestive, eh? A hint to the rally committee: Have a quintet composed of Tex “Caruso' Oliver, Billy “Lawrence Tibbett” Cole, Milke “Martini” Mikulak, ..Hobby ..“Lanny Ross” Hobson, and Trainer Bill “Nelson Eddy” Hayward render that at some future assembly. Adorning this particular piece of sheet music, which lies on Athletic Manager Anse’s desk, are the fol- j lowing quips: Pome by Thornhill: They sing this song in far Japan The kids they sing in Spain Everywhere but T. C. TJ. And lucky Notre Dame "Copyright: Hell we don't need any! “All revenue from sale of this song goes to purchase of athletic equipment for orphans. “Our European Agents: Joe Ro senfield and Fewer Hitler (Fewer the better) Berlin (Not Irving) Choining.” * * * Frosh Coach John Warren offers a plausible reason why it’s harder to score baskets in Oregon State’s men’s gymnasium than at Oregon’s giant Igloo. It isn't the size of the floor either, there being very little difference in that (most of it being1 en illusion caused by crowded sur-, roundings). “Their baskets are hung from | the top and there’s no give, no nothing.” Honest John explains that balls there rebound out far-! ther, consequently ’ getting away trom the bigger fellows who are under the basket for the purpose of tipping it in. The Duckling skipper comes through with another reason why it is always harder for the invad ers-any invaders to score than the home team: “Players have you ever noticed them—uncon sciously locate landmarks along the sideline . . . they have the range then when they cast off.” Which, he offers, is why players ! new to the spacious Igloo invari ably shoot short . . . oftentimes ' ten feet shy of the basket . . . until they get range. Inversely, the ten dency at Corvallis is to overshoot. This coming because the balcony and bleachers are packed so tight ly around the court. Actual differ ence in sizes of the Eugene ami Corvallis floors is just a few feet. Tex Oliver, University of Ore gon’s “Man of the Hour” from points south, entertained visiting newspapermen to the campus yes terday noon with a sparkling ad dress on “Things you don’t know about football.” Excerpts (Tex describing plays that scored touchdowns for Ore gon) I’d like to show a few of the winning plays 1 used against j Oregon State — unfortunately I can’t. Another: (Some coach asks him to explain Ills team's success he j uses in blocking enemy’s tries for point after touchdown) I don't have any patented plain. It just comes because we’ve probably had some experience on that line . . . * » * Big guffaws, tiio Santa Claus kind, echoed from the coach’s of-; lices at McArthur court yesterday. The reason ? Bill t Big Bill i Cole, Oregon's roly poly, friendly lino coach was back "for a visit" hav ing spent the last ten days at homo with a bad cold. Bill didn't cure his bronchial cough during the Christmas holi days in sunny California, he con fesses: "I was on the go too much." He spent sonic time la lit tle) on his brother’s orange ranch but the rest was on the move. So he was ill when he returned to Ore gon, and still isn’t chipper, but that doesn't stop the guffaws. * 4. 4: Oregon State’s Slats dill doesn’t pick Oregon to retain the northern division crown this year . . . his choice at the start of the neck was Washington State or Wash ington . . . Editor’s note: With Washington State non virtually eliminated, Slats must pick Wash ington.

Again Gale rang the bell, only to have his two points crossed by a whirl-in bucket by Brendon Bar rett. Gale broke the tie once more, this time with a foul conversion. But little Steve Belko tied it up a third time when he was fouled by Anet. Idaho Slacks Speed This was Idaho’s last big threat, however, as the Ducks put the ki bosh on further Idaho scoring ef forts for a time and' began to orient themselves with the hoop. Gale broke the tie, and then Matt Pavalunas entered the ball game. The sharp-shooting guard hit two in succession and Winter mute swished one to give Oregon a 19-15 half-time margin. In the opening stages of the sec ond period, the Ducks widened the gap, jumping to a 27 to 15 lead in the first five minutes on two bas kets by Dick, one by Wintermute and free throws by Dick and Gale. Vandals Close Margin At this point Idaho began put ting the breaks on the Duck of fense and began closing the mar gin. Four Idaho field goals, by Smith, Belko, and Harris, two, to Oregon’s one, scored by Gale, brought the Vandals to within five points of the Ducks, 30 to 25. Barrett sank a gift line shot, and the Vandal threat was becoming very serious. Whereupon Gale and Anet found the basket with all but impossible shots, and the Webfoots had com mand again. Sophomore Harris was the game's high man. He collected 13 points to Gale's 10, Dick’s 9, and Belko’s 8. The game was unusually clean for a tight-checking affair, only 17 fouls were called, 8 on Idaho, and 9 on Oregon. Summary: Oregon (88) Dick, f . Gale, f . ...*. Wintermutc, c ... Johansen, g ..

Herb Colwell, Webfoot coach of the two minor sports, has lined up It! matches nine wrestling and seven boxing.

Defeat was the lot of the determined Ducklings in an earlier meet, but undaunted, they have planned a warm reception for their smooth-sailing big brothers. The Oregon youngsters will have the assistance of all-American bound Jack Dallas in the first event, the 300-yard medley relay. Jim Marnie, flashy sophomore from Hawaii, will oppose his teammate, Dallas, in the free-style portion of the relay.

Sigma Nu, Phi Psis, SAE, Kappa Sigs, Phi Delts Are Donut Casaba Winners Sherry Ross, Delts, Sigma Hall, Omega Lose Tilts; Alpha Forfeits; Barnmen Run Wild to Submerge Hall Team By DOUG PARKER Sigma Nu's “B” team took Sherry Ross hall into camp Friday afternoon but lmd to score 27 points to do it. The dorm team countered with 23 points. Gib Wiley piloted the Sigma Nu five and took scoring honors with 13 points, 10 of which were made in the first half. Close behind was Cal Manning of Sherry who tallied It, most of which were effortless one-handed spin shots. Wiley potted the first five points for Signm Nu within two minutes after the game began. The millrace outfit built up an 11 to 2 lead at the second quarter, but by half time the Sherries had whittled the lead down to IR-12. Wiley opened the second half with a lay-in imme diately following the tip off and (PUvse turn to 'vjefeur) By WILBUR BISHOP Phi Gamma Delta won its first "B" league game yesterday by edging out Gamma hall, 17 to 14. The Phi Belt's thundering herd ran rough-shod over Omega hall, 34 to 4. in another "B" game. Alpha hall did not appear for its scheduled game with the Kappa 1 Sigma "Bs" and thereby had to forfeit the game. The Fijis and Gamma hall fought on even terms for most of their game yesterday, but Harold Adams proved the deciding factor in the Fijis' victory by scoring nine of his team's 17 points. ( lose at Half First and third quarter scores favored the Fijis. t> to 4. and 15 to 14. but Gamma hall held a one point lead of 10 to 0 at half-time. tur.t to fo-c fox.-) Duckling Quint Drops Corvallis Tilt to Rivals Leonard Gard Gets Ten Points; Staters Superior on Floor By JOE SOAP, JR. CORVALLIS (Special to the Emerald)—The Oregon State col lege rooks, failing to stall and play keep-away like their big brothers on the varsity, outdid the little Webfoots last night, 36 to 29 in a ragged game, the first of the annual four-game series. California and Washington products, big John Mandic, Don Stubberfield, and Don Durdan took a chapter from the Oregon book of style and outran the frosh, toss ing in 14 field goals out of 60 throws from the maple boards to 8 out of 36 for the Warrenmen. Stubberfield led the procession with 12 points and Gard was high pointer for the frosh with 10. Durdan, a mite with a dribbling habit like Wally Palmberg’s famed bounce-tactics, mastered the floor play and kept the Frosh defense wide open throughout the game. Gard and Caven were the main stays of the frosh but Gard’s usual ly reliable long shots were blocked continually by the alert rooks, and only in the first few minutes of the game did the Oregon babes lead. Honest John Warren’s basket eers were dwarfed in size by the larger Orange yearlings, and found the zone defense set up by Bill McKalip’s men hard to penetrate. It was the first rook basketball win over the frosh in two years, Honest John Warren’s Ducklings sweeping four games last winter. Half-time score was 14 to 12 for the rooks. Zeta Handballers Swamp Theta Chi Dormiteers Win, 3-0; Pair of Singles and One Doubles Taken The stalwarts of Theta Chi fared badly at the hands of Zeta hall in yesterday’s intramural handball game. The dormiteers trounced the fraternity men, 3 to 0. Joe Amato, Zeta, downed Bob Rogers, Theta Chi, 21 to 4, and 21 to 0, in the first singles match. In the next singles encounter Zeta’s Paul Collins defeated Theta Chi’s Ken Phillips, 21 to 10, and 21 to 5.
