DUCK TRACKS I ..... By ELBERT HAWKINS I • * There’s no mystery about Ore gon’s two-game sweep of the Washington State series in Pull man. Not to the Webfoots anyway. “We ran h—11 out of ’em,” they explain. Here’s a testimonial from Tubby Graves, freshman coach for the University of Washington, who scouted the Ducks in their second 57 to 31 win over the faltering Cougars. “Boy, oh, boy, how that Oregon team romped over WSC,” said Graves, “I don’t remember of ever having seen a northern division team with the caliber of Oregon’s outfit. “Laddie Gale, Slim Wintermute, and Bob Hardy shot like demons. Wally Johansen and Bob Anet are the jaekrabbits of the outfit. They feed the ball to the sharpshooters, but either one can shoot unless carefully checked.” To make it unanimous, Coach Howard Hobson puts in a good word for the triumphant Ducks who possibly did something no Oregon basketball team ever did, namely their sweep of all four games on the Palouse hills (Wash ington State and Idaho) trip. “X think we outran them there. We were in better shape than Washington State.” Hobby didn’t say why. "We had more drive . . . simply played better ball than in Eugene,” said Coach Hobson, re ferring to the two-game series Oregon split with the same Cougar team. Another reason for Oregon’s foui-game sweep of the Inland Empire journey, according to the Duck mentor: “. . . this year's eastern trip helped them a lot. It gave them more poise and confi dence for road games.” Oregon faced a man-for-man de fense exclusively on the northern trip. Washington State’s Jack Friel and Idaho's Forrest Twogood never employ the zone. As a matter of record: Friel says Idaho does have and will have the toughest defense in the northern division. (Oregon State is usually easier for the Cou gars). Hobson says—and he has played both teams—-that Oregon State has a tougher defense than either Washington State or Idaho. (Ore gon State being a tough nut for Oregon to crack). About the second Idaho victory the Cough one . . . How did that big last-minute ral ly look? Wally Johansen—“I don't know ... I didn’t see it . . . we (the reg ulars who fouled out) were in the showers.” Coach Hobson—“If we had been hitting them at all, we would have beaten them badly.” They could have won five out of four, Hobby! The Webfoot skipper was happy to win four road games, very hap py. But he still won't admit the tall fire Oregons are a bit better off than they were last year when the Palouse hills reverberated from a shocking three losses in four games administered the Ducks. His reasoning ■; Oregon won three out of lour from Washington State .. . which is exactly what the 1938 champions did . . . Those champs, lie adds, were beaten in five games out of the regular hi, excluding four with Montana . . . Washing ton is still unbeaten . . . the 1938 champs split four games with Ida ho .. . the present Webfoots hold a strategic advantage here having beaten Idaho two already at Mos cow . . . but to xx in the champion ship und get within “the four game tradition” the team xxill need to get an extra xvin from Idaho to compensate for the Washington scries . , . the team last year xxon three out of four from Hoc Ed mundson’s Huskies, xxldeh xxill lie a tough job to accomplish this sea son , . . the Oregon State Beavers of a year ago beat Oregon once, and they are tougher right now'.

Only Johnny Dick, the husky forward who trailed only Laddie Gale in the scoring column for the four games, was on the casualty list when the Ducks got off the train yesterday. Dick has an infection Duck Forward Holds Division Scoring Lead Gale's Total Mounts To 79 Tallies for Seven Games Lauren (Laddie) Gale, the spear head of an attack that carried Oregon’s defending champions to victory in every contest of a four game road trip through the Inland empire, regained his accustomed perch atop the northern division scoring ladder by scoring 57 points in the four games. The tall forward, who led all coast scorers with 408 points last year, and who established a north ern division 20-game record of 249 points, slumped badly in the first two games in the season. He came back against Oregon State in the third game to score 12 points and bring his total to 22 for the three games. Gets 22 Points In his first game at Pullman, Gale served notice on Bud Olson, Dick Voelker, and the rest that he would be very much in the race from that point on by scoring 22 points in his first night out against the Cougars. The only other player with a chance to break Palmberg's mark is Washington's Dick Voelker who has hit 43 points in four contests, for a 10.3 average. Second in point totals, however, is Slim Wintermute, O r e g on "mooring mast" pivotman, who has 62 points to his credit. Slim Winetrmute is No. 1 in field goal gathering, the big boy having swished 28 fielders to Gale's 24. Gale leads in free throws with 31. John Dick of Oregon made the big jump of the week to land in sixth place.

The Winged-M grapplers, by vir tue of Virgil Cavagnio's victory over Willie Williams in the finale, came through with a 17 to It count over the Ducks. Multnomah club also had the edge on the Ore gon boxing team, winning three out of five bouts. Hill Lauderback gave the Ducks a five-point margin in the first match when he pinned Carl Iliggs in 5:52. Vail Behind Oregon was unable to hold this margin, however, as Multnomah came back strong to take four consecutive matches. The feature bout of the boxing program was between a pair of heavyweights, Pat Callahan and Jim (Buck) Bailey. Bailey gave Callahan a terrific battle before he lost a close decision to the smil ing Irishman. Both men tossed a lot of punches.

Looming just ahead, the 'Beaver brigade must be stopped by the Ducks if Coach Hobson’s men are to stay within a stride of the pace-setting Wash ington Huskies. Reserves Save It To the Webfoot reserves goes much of the credit for Oregon’s sparkling win over the Idaho Van dals in the second game of their series at Moscow Saturday night. With most of the regulars off in their shooting and trailing by a 31-26 score, the Ducks appeared due for a licking.

Wednesday night, January 25, at 7:30 o'clock Coaches Ned Johns and Jim Heed will direct the sprightly frosh against the Salem YMCA. Foremost in the fight for the frosh will be lanky Jerry Macdon ald, who garnered 10 points in the meet with the varsity Saturday. Macdonald shaved 10.2 seconds from the established national rec ord for freshmen, as he made the 220-yard frec-stylc in 2 minutes, 26.3 seconds. Gerald Huestis, Jim Carney, Dick Smith, Harold Chung-Hoon, Bob Itange, Cutler Webster, Ed Jacobs, Gwynn Matthias, and Bob McAuliffe form the rest of the Duckling contingent. AQUA DUCKS By JIMMIE LEONARD Jack Dallas is a native son of ! California. He was born in Pasa dena and moved farther south to Long Beach. His swimming career started at Long Beach Polytech nic high school. Wallace Hetrick. Jack's prep school coach, is one of the nation's best high school coaches, accord ing to his former student. It was while swimming for Hetrick that he was chosen as an intcrscholastic all-American. After entering the University as a. freshman. Jack became out standing on last year's frosh squad by out paddling varsity men.

Jack Dallas churned the water lanes to unofficially break the Pa cific coast 200-yard breast stroke record for 60-foot pools in the fast time of 2 minutes and 28.5 seconds. The record that still stands on the books is 2 minutes, 36.7 seconds. The gruelling 440-yard free-style commanded a lot of attention as Sherman Wetmore of the varsity and Dick Smith of the frosh splashed arm and arm for 21 lengths. In the last lap Wetmore forged ahead slightly to win by a narrow six inches. The winning time for the race was 5 minutes, 32 seconds. High Scorer Smooth - swimming Jerry Mac donald defeated the best varsity offered for the 220 and 100-yard free-style to gain ten points for the frosh team. Macdonald’s time for the 220—2:26.3—is 10.2 seconds less than the national freshman record. His time in the century was 55.3 seconds.

The rook win was the first in two years, as the Ducklings took a clean sweep of the series last season. Despite its defeat, Honest John Warren, frosh coach, was quite satisfied with the showing of his team, considering the fact that the squad, usually a lanky outfit, lacked height comparable to that of the rooks. Coach Warren used ten players against the Beaver yearlings, while McKalip, rook coach, placed on the floor during the game only seven, who peppered 60 shots at the bas kets in field goal attempts. Oregon’s leading scorers were Leonard Gard, 10 points, and Doug Caven, eight tallies, with Don Stubberfied and tall John Mandic, rook stars, grabbing team scoring honors with 12 and 10 counters, respectively.
