DUCK TRACKS •WWmHimilllilllllllllllllllUHHlIlIlHHnilllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlHHUlHIlllliMIIIIIIIHIIHl' By ELBERT HAWKINS Toughest defensive basketball team in the northern division! That’s what Slats Gill’s Oregon State Beavers mean to Oregon’s run - ’em - until - their - tongues - hang - out conference hoop cham pions. Such a statement might be challenged, but it comes as an opin ion of Coach Howard Hobson. And he should know. Hobby didn’t make that statement directly, but you can easily figure it out. He says the Beavers are a hard er quintet to score on with their famous zone defense than Forrest twogood’s tight-cheeking Idaho Vandals with their man-for-man. Unless there is a decided change in University of Washington’s tac tics this year the Huskies won't be trying to play defensive ball against Oregon. As for the Wash ington State Cougars, their man for-man defense cracked as wide open as Joe E. Brown’s yawn when Oregon ran them to a frazzle in Fullman last week. So, putting two and two togeth er, you can see why “Oregon State rates as the northern division’s toughest defensive team for Ore gon to play against.” In actual figures, Washington has the con ference’s best defensive record to date, but the Huskies have played all four of their games against the tail-enders — Idaho and Oregon State. Here are the various defen sive averages: Washington, four games, 25.2 average; Oregon State, five games, 32.6 average; Idaho, five games, 35.2 average; Oregon, seven games, 33.7 average; and Washington State, seven games, 37.7 average. # m * Rituals or secret ceremonies rarely reach print, but this one, a highly effective one by the way, can now be unfolded as a regular yarn because it has become a thing of history. When Astoria s basketball coach, John W'arrcn, used to take his fish ermen to the state tournaments in Salem where they w'ere perennially state chumpions, his “F I y i n g Finns” had a ritual they went through in a hotel room there, symbolic of their unconquerable spirit. Curiosity, four years old, got the best of us so there was nothing to do but ask Honest John all about it. “I never saw it,” said he. “They would never let me in on it. I had to sit in the lobby downstairs . . . but I can tell you about it." The portly cx-Astorian says he only once ever got close to what his basketball players did, “then I heard Anet say something like this,” he explained, “ ‘you fellows have done well today. If we can do as well tomorrow . . . etc.’ ” The ritual ? Oh yes. Before each state tournament started, John Warren's Astoria high basketball team would converge in a Salem hotel room. They would take one of the boys’ undershirts and rip it to shreds. Then it would be tied into a chain-like rope, one end be ing anchored at the head of a bed and the other running up to the light where it was fastened. At corresponding distances on this syunholie rope, four sheets of paper would be fastened repre senting the four teams Astoria would have to heat to win another stuto championship. A little tag representing Astoria would be placed at the bottom of this string. Kach night after winning their ball game—for you have to win four in a row to get: the title— John Warren's Asturians rushed back to their hotel room and went) through their little ceremony, moving the Astoria tag up another notch. At the end of state tourna ment week it would bo on top. John says “it was Anet's doing,” meaning that little Bobby Anet, guard on Hobby Hobson's varsity team, was the ring leader during the last few times it was done. Wally Palm berg, Oregon State’s all-American high scorer of 1935, started it. The ritual passed into history four years ago when Honest John Warren and his boys Anet. Wally Johansen, and Hank Nilsen came down to school at Oregon. MONEY TO LOAN t?3 On Any Article of Value EUGENE EXCHANGE and LOAN CO.

The Delts gave notice that they will be strong championship con tenders as they showed a classy brand of ball in defeating Sherry Ross. Led by John Monahan who scored 19 points, the Delts expe. rienced little difficulty in trounc ing the dorm boys from Sherry Ross. After a fairly even half which ended 11 to 5 for the Delts, Monahan and company proceeded to put on a scoring spree in the last half, running up 21 counters while Sherry Ross was able to gar ner only four.

The last quarter was especially thrilling with each team running up and down the maple boards at a terrific pace. With two minutes remaining in the game, “Red” Williams co-op guard tied the score at 14-all when he canned a shot from the key hole. Don Yeager, high scoring co-op, put his club ahead at the one minute mark when he made good' on a carity toss.

Trainer Bob Officer Drills Ducklings Oregon Yearlings Prepare for Tilt With Beaverlings Bob Officer took over the frosh basketball players last night and sent them through a tough scrim mage before the second series game tomorrow night with the rooks. Honest John Warren spent the day at Portland and left Officer, Oregon trainer, in charge of his squad. The rooks have yet to lose their lirst game of the season. The Or ange Babes have won six regular scheduled games and lost none, the Ducklings have won four lost one, losing their first to the Stat. ers.

Led by Bill Zimmerman who scored 16 points in the game, the DUs looked liked sure winners until the fading moments of the game. With one minute left and trailing by three points, Dick Peters brought the Sigma Chis within one point by dropping in a long shot.
