DUCK TRACKS ««MHHMiiniiiniii!iiiiiitiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiinMiin<iiiiHimmmMii!iiiiiiinf|i|i|iiin"ii|mii By ELBERT HAWKINS Worst basketball defeat for Frosh Coach Honest John War ren? ..Unfortunately ..there ..is., a “worst defeat” for every coach, and the portly Oregon man is no exception. It came when he was coaching Astoria high to Oregon prep su premacy with his Anets, Johan sens, Palmbergs, and Sarpolas, to name only a few. The fishermen of those days were to basketball what the murderous New York Yankees are to baseball. But on with the story. We’ll take the words of Honest John himself: “My worst defeat . . . Salem high scored 47 points on us and we got about 17 . . . yes, 47 to 17. Glen Sanford got 17 points off W'ally Palm berg.” At this juncture in the yarn, the ex-Astoria head man paused to reflect, and then he remembered something more pleas ant. Those fishermen of Honest John’s went out the very next night, he relates, and practically reversed the rout. Wally Falmberg got about 19 points right out of Sanford’s zone. Coach Hollis Hun tington of Salem, ex-Oregon Rose Bowl footballer, used a zone de fense which John calls “about the toughest zone I ever faced. There’s nothing like it. Hollis used three big boys out in front and two in under the basket.” * si: SJ* By courtesy of Ansc Cornell we’ll reprint for the many friend? of Colonel Bill Hayward, a lettci he wrote Friday from Pasadena to the University’s athletic mogul Colonel Bill went South, you know to recuperate in California sun shine from his heart attack.

Am feeling much better than when I left home but have to be careful of ...why they didn’t think of that I hope this won’t last much longer. It’s hard for me to imag ine that I must slow up. Doesn’t seem natural for me but I sup pose I have to. I feel the trin has done me a lot of good—all 1 do is rest. Ber tlna (Mrs. Hayward) drove ev ery bit of the way. I appreciate your letting me get away, and tell George (Mr. Stovcl, who is handling track) to use his own judgment with the boys. I feel they are in good hands. Remember me to every one. Yours, Bill.

Word telling of det ■ mite cancellation of the Cougar ■ jaunt reached Ned Johns and Jim i Reed, coaches, yesterday. i' The Oregon varsity was to have met the Washington Staters Sat < urday, January 28. The Cougars had planned a stop in Corvallis Fri day, January 27. to match strokes with Coach Jack Hewitt's tribe of i Beavers. The Wcbfoot coaching staff ne gotiated with Beaver Coach Hewitt yesterday with the hopes of drum ming up a match between the two varsities but to no avail because three OSC swimmers had been dis. missed for the weekend. Anse Cornell, athletic manager, stated last night that he was try ing to schedule a match with the i Portland Aero club to fill in for 1 the cancelled match Saturday. By JACK LEE Theta Chi’s taasketeers upset the dope bucket yesterday in the fea ture "A” league game by easing out a 19 to 15 victory over the defending champions, Alpha Tau Omega.

Coach Hobson Gives Regulars a Rest Reserves Mullen, Hardy, Pavalunas, Sarpola, and McNeeley Work Against Picked Super Varsity Crew By GEORGE PASERO There is rest for the weary—at least the weary on Coach Hobby Hobson’s Oregon ball club. But this is one time when the weary, or the ‘‘so-called weary,” aren’t too responsive. Coach Hobson's edict, immediately upon the Ducks’ return to their home port, called for complete rest for the regulars, those five Web Leonard Gard Paces Duckling Hoop Scorers Hal Sarkela Shows Style on Warren's Regular Five With the first game of the rook series over, John Warren worked his freshmen basketball squad overtime last night in preparation for their second encounter Satur day. Leonard Gard, Big John’s high scoring ace, added 10 more count ers to his total Friday night mak nig him 59 points in five gapies. A High Scorer Gard has been the high scorer in every team he has played on in the last two years. Last year he led University high to the state tourney where he set a new prep scoring record by making 80 points in four games. Hal Sarkela, who worked his way up to a regular berth before the rook series, showed up well in last night’s practice skirmish with the super-varsity. Sarkela was held to four free throws in the rook encounter. Warren announced last night that there would be no change in the lineup for the game Saturday night against the “Aggies.” Frosh scoring: Gard . Caven . Galbreaith .. Wilson . Thompson -• Kilborn .

IIIIIUIMIIIIII|»llllllll!llllllllllllll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillil.;l|i|llli:illl!lll!ill By KEN CHRISTIANSON 1 .1 On his way to becoming one of the best liked and best known ath letes on the Oregon campus is Elliott Wilson, tall football and basketball center. You have undoubtedly seen him meandering around through the buildings. He is usually wearing his numerals and a dark gray over coat. Six feet four inches and 225 pounds describe his physical car riage. Before fall term, Wilson was hitch-hiking his way from his home town, Alliance, Nebraska, to the Pacific coast in the general direction of Oregon State. He stopped off at Eugene to take a look at the football field aDd the campus. While looking around, lie spied "Smokey” Whitfield, cam pus versatile man, lying on the grass ami meditating on the busy, little bees. Whitfield saw possibilities in the lanky pivot-man and promptly es corted him to see "Honest" John Warren. As a result Oregon has another very promising athlete, lie Asks Why "What the h 11 would anyone' want to go to Oregon State for?” was one of Wilson’s remarks when asked about the Orange campus lately. At Alliance, Wilson played cen ter aud forward on the basketball team. His school team romped through with the Western Neb taska district record and went to the state play-off two times in Wilson's prep career. Wilson garnered the all star spot for two seasons at the center posi tion and one year at tackle during the football season. He played the majority of the minutes at the pivot spot on the grid squad and has seen most of the action at the center position on foot cagers who played the major part of four victorious Inland Em pire contests. That meant complete rest for Bobby Anet, Wally Johansen, Slim Wintermute, Laddie Gale, and Johnny Dick for both Monday and Tuesday nights. Reserves Get Call But at the start of practice yes terday, practice that featured those reserves who pulled the last Idaho game out of the fire in the closing minutes, in came those tireless Astorians, Johansen and Anet, eager to do a little basket tossing. Hobby let them “fool around” a bit, and then shooed them away from the floor in order to devote his time to the reserves. The reserves saw only scattered bits of action on the road trip, but proved their value in that last few minutes of the final Idaho contest. “Yellows” Whipped In practice yesterday, a team composed of Bob Hardy, Ted Sar pola, Red McNeeley, Ford Mullen, and Matt Pavalunas clicked all the way as they ran through the “yel lows,” a team composed of Bob Blenkinsop, Earl Sandness, Archie Marsh ik, Porky Andrews, and Don Mabec. This afternoon, the regulars re turn to active duty. A drill on ways and means of combating the Oregon State zone defense will be on the day’s bill of fare. Coach Plobby Hobson and his Ducks are not taking Friday’s Ore gon State game lightly. The Duck mentor reasons that, playing per centage ball as they do, Oregon State is bound to win once in a while, and the prospects of an evening’s engagement with a very “hot” Beaver crew is not the best entertainment an Oregon basket ball team could choose. In order to stay on the heels of the fast- traveling Washington Huskies, who have not been so much as pressed to date, Coach Hobson's hoppers must "take” the plow-jockeys from the Corvallis farm. The Beavers have lost five games this season, but one victory over the Oregons would more than compensate for their poor showing. the hoop team. Wilson is something of a track man, specializing in the weights. He throws the javelin and the discus. Use Emerald want ads. Louis Over Lewis Tonight? Odds favor Joe Louis (above) . . . 302-pound heavyweight champion of the world to stave off belt aspirations of John Henry Lewis, clever 187-pound light heavyweight from Phoenix, Arizona. Louis' last fight was with Schnieling last June. Athletes Notice! First-round matches in all campus sports which were to have been finished last Satur day must be played off no later than today.
