    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!

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.

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

'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.
