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

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,

he was ill when he returned to Ore

that doesn't stop the guffaws.

give the Ducks an 8 to 5 advan
tage.
Back came the Vandals to knot
the score on a basket and free
throw by Harris.
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.

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
