DUCK TRACKS I mHrnmmmmmmKMmnBHtutUBmmmmaaimmmKm By ELBERT HAWKINS Ask quiet “Uncle Hec” Edmund son, Washington's veteran basket bull and track coach, about his 15 y ear-old son, Jimmy. Ask him about the good old days when he was a track man. Ask him about present day basketball officiating, about road trips, or about his ath letes. He’ll talk eternally. He’s full of stories. But then quiz the canny Wash ington coach of 19 years’ experi ence about one thing the Oregon Washington basketball series and he shuts up like a clam. For in stance : “Her, would you settle for a split on the present road series against Oregon?’’ His answer: “I don’t know a thing about the future . . . how could 1 . . . why somebody might be. standing right behind that door there . . . and I wouldn’t know.” And so on. Uncle Her almost told the Emerald yesterday which side he snored on, but his wind be gan to wander—anywhere—when jou mentioned the words Oregon and Washington together in one sentence. Before bringing his undefeated Huskies to Eugene, he was quoted by the Seattle press as saying this week’s four games with Oregon would be “make or break.” He ad mits only, “they are certainly im portant.” SaisJ Hec about the Oregon State Beavers, "They were not as good as I expected them to be (refer ring to the Seattle series), but wc always have trouble with them in Corvallis.” What effects do trips have ? "They don’t bother me, I don't sleep so well, anyway,” he chuck led. # * * "Whenever it is possible,” Hec Kdmundson has his traveling Hus kies spend their nights in hotels ri ther than on trains. They travel by day. For instance, on this trip to the Willamette valley his squad spent Monday night in Portland nnd then moved down to Eugene yesterday morning. When Wash ington travels to the Inland Em pire from Seattle, the squad sleeps in Spokane. Two reasons are offered by sci entific-minded Hec for having his boys sleep In hotels. 1. The lioys won’t sleep so well on a train. 2. They’re apt to get head colds from changes In temperatures. He wasn't condemning sleeping on the truin for longer trips to New York (like Hobby Hobson's Webfoots made in December) or to California. "Then,” says Hec, "it is necessary.” * * * Will the center jump come back ? "Do you hear anything about it this year,” asks Coach Edmund son, “No? That's right. I don’t think it ever will." Why didn't Hec want to see the center jump after every basket eliminated? One big reason, in which he agrees 100 per cent with Coach Jack Friel of Washington State, the gum-chew ing Husky mentor hates to see rules changed. Ho wants some thing static, something you can de pend on from year to year. Hec list'd to play basketball at a time When three sets of rules were in vogue. They used the AAU, college rules, and then abided by u eode set up by Hit' YMCA. Ac cording to Hec, it just depended on who you were placing anti when nnd where. “Uncle Hec” (ho still doesn't like to be called Uncle) pronounced himself "well satisfied” with north (Please turn to page three) Double Breasted with Studs $3.50 Joe Richards 873 Willamette Phone 422 Huskies Suffer Initial Loss in 14 Encounters Laddie Gale and Pat Dorset] Set Scoring Pace Northern Division Standing W L Pet.

Tonight’s flame Oregon and Washington. (Continued from pa'/e one') Hot In Second Half Hobby’s basketeers weren’t especially hot in the first half but showed unmistakable wizardry in their late drive. At the five-minute mark, Washington hit an "off” streak with Oregon leading only 39 ot 36, and six minutes later they trailed the surprising Ore gons, 46 to 36. Three minutes from the end, Oregon’s lead was the same, 57 to 47, and the game slowed down with Hobby Hobson's team biding its time. Laddie Gale paced Oregon's point-gathering, with 16 points on seven field goals and John Dick and Slim Wintermute were close behind with 14 apiece. For the Washingtons, Guard Pat Dorsey had 15 tallies and his mates, Bill McDonald and Roy Williamson, had 10 and 11, respectively.

The Lost River dairy, an affili ate of the Medo Land creamery of Eugene, has a record of nine wins and no losses for the season and leads the Klamath city league. John Warren's Ducklings led, 22 to 10, at half time, but the dairy crew slowly passed them up and held the lead throughout the re maining 12 minutes of the game. I rosh Falter At one time in the second half, Warren s outfit commanded a 25 to 20 lead, but Ed Wakeman and Howard Scroggins, Klamath vet erans, opened up on long shots to tako the lead from the faltering freshmen. Doug Caven, steady forward, was high point man of the contest, sinking 14 points.

The massacre was decided in the first half when the ATOs took an 18-2 lead. Jack Dunn and Wayne Scott accounted for 14 points for the Hotclmen in the first half. Scott, former Southern Oregon normal player and one-time mem ber of Hobby Hobson’s basketball squad, had a field day at the ex pense of the Yeomen, gathering 14 points in a little over three quar ters.

Hockley made five counters for the winners. Both teams lagged during the first half. O'Reilly and Hockley were the only ones to score in that period. They potted a fielder each.

Zeta hall’s hoopmcn proved to be about the best dorm quintet in donut play when they outscored the Sig Eps in a fast “A” game, 22 to 14. Sigma Alpha Mu came back strong in the last quarter to nose out a hard-fighting Sigma Nu club, 17 to 13 in an “A” league contest. Whizzer White and company did it again. A strong Theta Chi team won their third straight victory over Omega hall 38 to 8. The out come was never in doubt as Theta Chi romped ahead at the start. Willie Fry and Whizzer seemingly could not miss the bucket as they accounted for 26 points between them. Omega hall was blanked during the first half which ended 6 to 0.

These two lads played very clever floor games anil ran up 10 points. Zeta had a lot of difficulty in hitting the bucket in the first period being on the short end of a 6 to 0 score at the close of the first quarter. However, Gordon Landeen and Golden began to find their range in the last three per iods and the Zetas built up a lead which was never threatened.

Score at the halfway mark was knotted at 6-all. (Fletiov turn to fOjje three) Calling ’Em Quick By GEORGE PASERO Assistant Sports Editor “The best horse won.” That statement, made by a mar velling and weary hoop fan (some of the fans were nearly as worn out as the players i as he left Mc Arthur court last night should be one of the classic quips of the year. For last night. Oregon's gallop ing hoopsters and Washington's drive, drive Huskies turned on the steam, and broke old McArthur court's hazy expanse into a roar ing madhouse. Not since a year ago when these same teams met on the McArthur maple have Eugene fans seen such basketball. They drove, those Ducks and Huskies, in a wild stampede to the finish that would have been a credit to the mightiest galloping of Seabiscuit and War Admiral. And they shot with un canny wizardry. But last night, just as last year, Oregon had the final kick that was necessary, a final kick that brought them from behind to a well-earned victory. Yes, until dethroned, Oregon's champions are still “kings of the gailop.” For the best summing up state ment the honors go. to Washing ton’s Hec Edmundson: “Well sir,” said Hec, “that was a darn good ball game, a darn good club won, and a good one got beat.” The smiling Edmundson, “Black Fox” as they call him, laughed as he said it, and his laugh boded no good for Oregon tonight. “Those who like action got plen ty of it tonight,” said Coach Hob son of the Ducks in adding his bit to the after-game locker room shots. “The kids turned in a good sec ond half. Some kind of a record must have been approached in the opening minutes of it. Washington was handicapped by the loss of Dick Voelker, but I think we were a little better ball club.” Washington’s Huskies were a (Please turn to page three) Delta Gamma, Orides Sextets Take Hoop Wins Gamma Phi Girls, Kappas, Lose Coed Basketball Games By MARGARET YOUNG Lopsided victories were accorded the Orides and Delta Gamma bas ketball teams last night after they had defeated the Gamma Phis, 45 to 9, and the Kappas, 19 to 4, respectively. The DG's decisive margin was an upset to the defend ing champions, who promise to re verse the tables “as soon as our whole team is able to play at once.” During Tuesday’s game, Kappa guards snared the ball time after time only to pass to a waiting DG. Piling up far more points than any other team in a single game so far, Oride's squad ran wild against the Gamma Phi team in the outdoor gym. Lois Neilson made 31 of the Oride's points, four more than the whole Alpha Phi sextet scored against Hendricks hall, to stand unrivaled as high scorer. Similar to the last Oregon vs. Oregon State battle, the game was played on the floor and at the keyhole as forwards tried to make good their free throws.

At first it was feared that whiskerino time would slow up the sophomore members of the squad, but yesterday’s practice session proved the rumor false. The whiskers just don't have a chance to become waterlogged. Jim Reed and Ned Johns, coaches, are preparing their men for Saturday's (February 4) meet with Oregon State college in Corvallis.! The Beavers had previously been' scheduled to journey to Eugene for the February 4 match, but the Ducks will go north. The staters will come to Eugene Saturday, March 4. Coaches Are Pleased The coaching staff was well pleased with the impressive show ing of the Webfoot mermen in the Dads’ day exhibition last Saturday, in which four records—300-yard medley relay, 100-yard backstroke, 100 and 200-yard breast stroke— were broken. The Duck diving trio Elmer Mallory, Leo Gaffney, and Ralph Cathey — received coaching from Russ Cutler, assistant professor of physical education, last night. Gaffney nosed out Cathey and Mal lory for top diving honors in Sat urday’s exhibition. The ineligibility-crippled fresh men will travel to Corvallis Friday, February 3, to engage the Oregon State rooks.
