Calling ’Em Quick By GEORGE PASERO Assistant Sports Editor . . osc played the best game ! I've seen them play against us this : year.” That was the manner in which Coach Hobson of the Ducks com plimented the battling Beavers who bowed to Oregon’s hoopmen on McArthur’s maple last night. And here’s the tribute paid the Ducks by the coach of the losers, Amory T. (Slats) Gill: "Oregon played good ball against us tonight . . . yes, very good ball.” But this wasn’t all the two old cage rivals had to say. Here’s the rest: Coach Slats Gill: “I look for quite a contest when Oregon plays Washington next week. It’s diffi cult to say which is the best team. I think Oregon's big men are bet ter than Washington's big men.” Coach Hobby Hobson: "We played a little better the second half. I can say we showed two weaknesses tonight—shooting and ball-handling.” And that about sums up last night’s game from the coaching angle. The tussle was tough not only from the fans’ standpoint but from the officials. Three of the Beaver big boys, Tony Romano, Elmer Kolberg, and Frank Mandic, along’ with little Bob Garbould, were ousted with four personals each, but take it from Referee Archie Buckley of Spokane, it was not as tough to “take” as the Orcgon Idaho final game at Moscow. Buck ley calls that one the hardest from the referee’s standpoint he’s offi ciated this year. “Both teams played so hard,” says Buckley. * * * Mark this one down in your little red book of hoop dope. It comes from Mai Harris, dark haired Beaver scoring ace, and he wasn’t kidding when he said: “We were beat by a better team to night, that's all. I think you guys are a lot tougher than Washing ton’s Huskies.” And Mr. Mai Harris ought to know. He’s faced both teams on the cage court twice. * # * Colorful Elmer Kolberg, one of the boys who left the skirmish considerably before the smoke of battle had begun to lift, came out of a blanket of steam which en veloped the showers, and summed up his feelings with "We were beat." But the big boy who has roamed many a gridiron in an Or ange jersey, laughed and shook his head. Oregon’s victorious hoopmen sat in their dressing rooms, silently munching juicy red apples . . . they were a bit troubled by their “off" shooting and ball-handling. * * * Glimped by the roving eye . . . Anse Cornell, Oregon's athletic manager, scanning the crowd . . . and incidentally, it passed the 6000 mark, and was one of the largest crowds to "jam" old Mc Arthur in two years. Nevertheless, there were still empty seats in the huge structure. Undoubtedly, it would be a dream-come-true were Anse Cornell to sec every scat in McArthur taken. Wonder of wonders ... an Ore gon State team that drove with the Webfoots, the Beaver strategy nearly working ... it did for a half. Once at the start of the game, Romano dribbled down the floor miles-an-hour and almost caught the Webfoots napping. Toward the end, however, the Beavers were no match for the Duck speed. ■* * * Fans last night cheered Romano, Garbould, Kolberg, and Mandic when they left the game ... a direct contrast to the booing little Wally Johansen received at Corval lis when he was ousted on fouls. * * * Best shooting' of the evening . . . done by Big Slim Wintermute of the Ducks whose looping right hand and left-hand pushshots from the corners put the Ducks on the road to pay money. * * * Snaps . . . Oregon State kept men in the backcourt all nsght, in order to check the Duck fast break . . . Oregon had a case of jitters i in the first half, dropping passes, heaving wild ones, and shooting wild. . . . The Stater's galloped! more in this game, than they have' against Oregon since the palmiest days of Wally Palmberg. . . . Dick Reed, Oregon’s end coach under Callison was on hand. . . . Touche, touche, the swordsmen of Oregon I State and Oregon flashed foils, epees, and sabers. . . . Oregon's! Oregon Team Boosts Hold on Second Place Seventh Viciorg Gained Over Orange Quintet Slim Wintermute Paces Scoring With 13 Tallies (Contrmed from parje one1 Oregon’s Laddie Gale and the j rest of his mates weren’t too hot on their shooting from the floor, but they more than balanced it with free throws. Oakridge Laddie got seven of his 11 points from the gift line. Center Slim Winter mute was Oregon's deadest shot from the field, getting five buckets on 17 shots for 13 points and high honors. A firebrand from Long Eeach, California, a newcomer this win ter in the person of Bob Garbould, held the Stater offense together, getting loose for repeated shots. He finished with nine tallies to 11 for Big Frank Mandic, Orange center. Garbould got 14 shots. Wally Hits It Oregon took a temporary lead after only 20 seconds of play when Wally Johansen tipped in Winter mute’s rebound shot, but goals by Elmer Kolberg, Mandic, Tony Ro mano, and Kolberg again gave Oregon State an 8 to 4 lead after only four minutes. For six minutes the rivals — much more friendly than in their previous debacle at Corvallis — battled along, checking tightly with their zone defenses, allowing but a free throw apiece. Well past the middle of the first half, the Beavers had a three-point lead, 10 to 7, but Slim Wintermute cut it down by pushing in a one hander from the right corner. Almost four minutes from the end of the half Oregon trailed only 14 to 13, but Forward Garbould got busy and boosted it along, the Beavers leading, 19 to 14 at the intermission. Oregon* (Jet Busy Hobby Hobson’s crew got busy right after the second period start ed, and knotted it at 19-all on buckets by Bobby Anet and Lad die Gale. But while the Webfoots boomed, the Staters boomed too, and it was still tied at 26-ail at the 7-minute mark. Oregon State never led again after that. With Slim Wintermute pushing in a couple of field goals, and John Dick contributing a lay in shot, Oregon's offense started to roll, and after it was 35 to 32 the Orangemen weren't able to stay with the £>ucks or get as many shots. In futile attempts to check Hob by s rushing Ducks, the Beavers fouled. And the Oregon* converted. Wintermute, John Dick, Dick again, and Gale made good their chances from the gift line as the score skyrocketed to its worst difference, 46 to 35, with less than two minutes to go. At the half-way mark in the northern division race with a lone defeat in eight games, Oregon faces University of Washington's league-leading, undefeated Huskies in a two-game series in Eugene Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Frosh, Rook Hoopers Scrap Here Tonight Ducklings Seek Revenge for Defeat Bill McKalip's Boys Boast Undefeated Record, Six Straight Wins; Len Gard to To Lead Honest John Warren's Men By EI1LE REBER Fighting for revenge .... That’s what Honest John Warren's freshman basketball team will be doing tonight on McArthur court when they meet their old rivals, the Oregon State rooks, in their second battle of the “little” series. The tilt will start at 8 o’clock. Coach Bill McKalip, rook mentor, has had an undefeated season so far this season having won six games. The Orange squad took the Emerald Whips Barometer Team; 'Nutt Said_ By JOE SOAP, JR. McARTHUR COURT, Jan. 17.— (Special) — Say what ye may, newspaper men can still play bas ketball. Ask any of the 17 spectators who saw the University of Oregon Em erld press men edge out a 32 to 28 victory over Oregon State Bar ometer journalists yesterday af ternoon at McArthur court. For a pre-thriller of the Oregon Oregon State battle, the typewrit er manglers, the head-line writers, the proof-readers, and the news paper editors offered tops in bas ketball. Dead-Eye Oregon Oregon’s Emerald representa tives proved too adept at hitting the basket, not the first half though. The score at half-time was tied at 11-all. The second half told the story. It took three officials to handle the game, each holding sway over the game at different times. Two coeds watched the under cover basketball game for a few minutes but soon began edging to ward the exits. Such sports notables as Bill Cole, Oregon line coach who re cently accepted a coaching posi tion at Sanla Ana high school in California, “Honest” John Warren, Duck frosh coach, Ned Simpson, Eugene Register-Guard writer, and George Godfrey, campus photogra pher sat high in the bleachers and egged the Oregon lads on to vic tory. The game was marked by errat ic shooting and was scoreless for the first four minutes. Then “Han dle-bar Hank" Garnjobst, Barom eter sports editor, potted a shot from the corner that put his fel low publishers in the lead. Ken Shipley of Oregon countered short ly thereafter with a free throw, followed by Gib Wiley’s basket which tied the score at three all. The score see-sawed back and forth the first half and wound up in a 11-to-ll tie. Scorers Click The offensive forces of both squads clicked with much better precision the second half. Shipley, Wiley, and Buchwacli went to work with great earnestness anti kept Oregon just one jump ahead of the Beaver press men. The Barometer ambassadors proved a most formidable foe. The "high-ups” of the paper played ball like veterans. Included were Ed Burchcll, pudgy but reliable Barometer editor; Don Drake, ath frosh into camp last weekend at Corvallis, 36 to 29. Frosh Drill Intently Coach John Warren has been drilling his Duckling squad in tensely this week for tonight’s battle. His maple pounders have improved their passing and floor work to quite an extent over their last week’3 showing and should give the State cousins a real battle. Leonard Card, high scoring for ward, is the spearhead of the frosh attack, and will probably start at that position. Doug Caven, ex-Eu gene high star, will start at the other forward berth. A recent change in the lineup will put Hal Sarkela, former Port land prep player, at a guard spot after Caven was shifted to forward to take the berth formerly held by Ross Kilborn, six-footer from Eu gene. Don Galbreaith, Idaho all stater, is at the other guard berth. Two Centers Warren has a choice of two tall centers with the nod likely to go to Les Thompson, Reedsport, 6 feet 4 inches tall, over Elliott Wilson, 6-foot, 5-incher from Alli ance, Nebraska. Thompson has shown good improvement in recent practice sessions. Coach McKalip will probably start Don Stubberfield of Hoquiam, Washington, at one forward with Jack Mulder, of Vancouver, as his running mate. John Mandic, lanky center, will start at the jumping berth, with Don Durden, Eureka, California, and Paul Valenti, Mill City, Cali fornia, at the guard posts. The players from the state of Oregon were left out in |he cold when McKalip picked his starting five, with three California boys and two Washington boys making the coveted positions. Leonard Card leads the frosh scoring in the “little" series thus far with 10 points. Doug Caven folows with 8 counters. For the rooks, Don Stubberfield is high with 12 points and John Mandic is second with 10. Oregon freshmen have won 9 out of the last 13 games played against the rooks. Warren started the season with Howard and Kenneth Fox, Thurs ton basketball stylists, but lost them due to ineligibility. Both boys are now starring for Oregon Nor mal school at Monmouth.

Fijis, Sigma Nu, Theta Chi, Sherry Ross, Kappa Sig, Omega, in *B’ League Wins By JACK LEE Phi Gamma Delta, playing with only four men in their lineup dur ing the entire first quarter early defeated Sigma hall, 28 to 6, in a "B” hoop tilt. In two other “B” games, the Sigma Nu quintet nearly succeeded in shutting out Alpha hall, win ning easily, 21 to 2, while Sherry Ross gave the dorm boys their only win by decisively dumping Delta Tau Delta, 15 to 4. An oddity occurred in the Fiji game when the fifth man had to report to get into the game. Ted Olsen, Fiji guard entered the game when the second period started. Hal Adams and Olsen were the leaders in the Fijis’ scoring attack, rolling up 16 points between them. Half-time score favored the Fijis, 13 to 2. The lineups: Fijis (28) (6) Sigma hall Adams (10).F..
