DUCK ji TRACKS .. B> ELBERT HAWKINS I Washington State’s Jack Friel yells the naughty words, Wash ington's Hec Eihnundson chews gum to heat four of a kind, Ore gon's Hobby Hobson concentrates, and Oregon State’s Slats Gill wor ries. But those four couldn’t sit on the same bench at the same time and compare with Forrest “Two gie” Xwogood, of Idaho, for crowd pleasing antics. Either you're a Buck Bailey or you aren’t. And Xwogood is. During baseball sea son he and Buck, Washington State’s funny man, keep the fans entertained with their crazy tac tics. Clowns aren’t needed in the basketball race with the teams playing fire engine basketball, but Xwogie can’t help it. He just “growed” that way. When Twogood brought his am bitious Vandals to' Eugene last winter to do battle with Oregon, he was on the spot for two reasons. 1. He was being groomed by newspapers as the conference’s best dressed coach. (Wc still pick Hobby). 2. Idaho's club was riding high and had its sights on a champion ship. Oregon’s irate bleacher-ites took care of task No. 1 in a not-to-bc recommended manner. They took Twogie’s kidding from the bench to heart and marred his beauty by spraying gum (the chewed variety) on his suit. And task No. 2 was solved by Hobby Hobson and his Webf"ots in two merry dashes, 68 to 41, and 41 to 24. Tonight, the pressure is i-e versed. It is on Oregon. For Idaho it will be “everything to gain and nothing to lose.’’ Twogood, lest you f-rget, is more than a crowd pleaser or a sideshow attraction, ’ "’s a recognized basketball tac tician. He works fast. Idaho had n’t even sniffed a championship for years when Coach Twogood '-as hired at the Vandal institu ’ :n the fall of 1936. But his immediately t ok effect and on- winter later little Idaho was so hard to beat in one of the country's toughest basketball leagues, they weren’t hauled out of the running until only four games were left of a 20-game schedule. Oregon's defending champs came within a whisker of losing to Two gie’s Vandals at Idaho a few weeks ago, and that is why the Oregons are taking the two games so seriously. Speaking of the sideline antics of the northern division's brigade of coaches brings to mind a fev of the accomplishments they had as collegians themselves. At least three— Twogood, Gill, and Hobson —were great basketballers. Slats Gill . . . played for Oregon State in 11)22-23-21, and in his sophomore and senior years was chosen on all-Coast teams, the last season setting a new scoring rec ord. Hobby Hobson. . . he did his starring just after Slats Gill got through at Oregon State, playing at Oregon in 11)25 and li)2l>. Hobby was so good he was captain in both basketball and baseball dur ing those two years and made all star choice besides. Forrest Twogood . . . he earned recognition in another section of the country but under conditions just as tough. Twogie played has. ketball under Sam liarry at the University of Iowa and besides be ing captain during his senior year rated a guard spot on the all Big Ten quintet.

Score stood, at the end of the game, 24-all. In the extra period, Les Werschkul of the Betas made a field goal and a free point while Wayne Timm added a foul shot to the Phi Sig total. High point honors in the hard played game went to Wayne Timm, accurate shooting Phi Sig forward, who scored 13 points, followed closely by Don Turner, smooth field general of the Betas, who tallied 11.

By JACK LEE A ball-hawking Sigma Alpha Mu team tied their league all up in a knot when they dumped the pre , viously undefeated Theta Chi “A” quintet by an overwhelming 20 to 5 margin in the feature donut game on yesterday’s program. By virtue of their win the Sammies share the league leadership with Theta Chi and the hotelmen from Alpha Tau Omega. What started out to be a low scoring fracas turned into a verit able rout, the Sammies gaining momentum as the game pro gressed. The Theta Chis drew first blood by virtue of Mike Dariotis’ cripple about two minutes after I the start of the game. Arr.ie Mill stein evened the count at the three minute mark when he sank a long j howitzer. This ended the scoring for the first period which ended 2 to 2. In the second period the Sammies rallied to grab a 7 to 3 lead. The feature of the game was the ability of Bobby Herzog to check Theta’s high-scoring ace, “Whiz zer” White. Herzog stuck to White like a leech and as a result held him scoreless. Hymie Harris and Willie Fragcr were the Sammies’ leading scorers, with each man ringing up six counters.

S A TO 31, Omega Hall 20 A surprisingly strong Omega hall club forced Alpha Tau Ome ga s hoopmen to extend themselves to the limit before they garnered a 30 to 21 decision from the d'orm quintet. The hotelmen started strong, gaining a 9 to 3 margin at the first period. Chuck Shimomura and Tom Robb were the shining lights in Omega’s rally in the sec ond period which ended, 14 to 13 in favor of the hotelmen. The last half saw Wayne Scott , and Jack Dunn sink shot after i shot to assure the hotelmen of their margin of victory. The Alpha I Tau Omegas now have a chance , < f retaining their last year's title i as they arc in a three-way tie for [ their league championship. I A TO (31) (20) Omega hall Scott (13).F.

Heed and Johns will watch the Husky Beaver tray at Corvallis Friday aituuoou. Joe and Jackf The Gordons Oat-do Pavvy Matt Pavalunas, Coach Hobby Hobson’s chubby guard from Raymond, Washington, is prob ably the best long shot on the Duck squad. At any rate, Pavvy has a peculiar ability when it comes to swishing the casaba through the net. But when it comes to beating the Gordon brothers, Joe and Jack, in a game of "21” (two points for a long and one point for a short), he has to take back seat. In a pre-practice shooting session with the New York Yankee's sensational second baseman, Joe, and brother Jack, Pavvy did his best, and he was "hot” loo, swishing four straight from midfloor. Joe and Jack were hitting them too, but not as consistently. Nevertheless, Joe and Jack did the winning by scores of 21 to 20. Said Matt Pavalunas to Coach Hobby, a spectator: “Each one of theirs must have counted six points.” Oregon Matmen To Encounter Husky Ringmen Lauderback Out * With Knee Injury I Huskies Bring Nine 1 Oregon's much-improved wrest ling team will match mat talent against the strong invading Wash ington squad from the northland | Saturday afternoon in the wrest ling room of the men’s gymnasium.

I Continued from page one) 30 and 35 to 31. Incidentally, the margins of victory in these two games were the smallest for the Webfoots all season. Bothered by a mild epidemic of colds at the beginning of the week, the Ducks have recuperated and are ready to go. The regular quin tet of burly John Dick; Urgel (Slim) Wintermute, who has no peer at shooting with either hand; Laddie Gale, the Oakridge record cracker; and Wally Johansen and Captain Bobby Anet, the driving Astorians, are set to open for Coach Hobson’s crew. Reserves Will Work Impressed by the showing of re serves in practice this week, Coach Hobson has promised liberal use of his bench warmers. Two reserves are cinches to see almost as much action as first-stringers. These two are Bob (Ollie) Hardy and Matt Pavalunas. Hardy, the Ashland southpaw, has been going great guns at the backboards, and has found his scoring eye. Pavalunas is first-line reserve for Johansen and Anet. Other Webfoot reserves who will probably be called upon for play are Ted Sarpola, the whirling dervish; Red McNeeley, Earl Sand ness, and Ford Mullen, stocky guard whose pinch-hitting has been a feature of the Webfoot attack all season. Idaho Promises Action Idaho's Vandals will present for fans’ approval two of the smooth est ball-handlers in the north in Brendan Barrett and Steve Belko. Both are well known to Oregon fans, and are A-l crowd pleasers. Barrett, a six-foot, two-inch cen ter, is a veteran of many hoop wars. He and Belko, all-conference forward, both played in Indiana leagues. Four football players on the opening lineup give the Vandals a rough and tough brigade which loves to mix it. Besides Belko, the gridders are Ron Harris, six-foot, three-inch sophomore forward; and] Ducklings Trounce Wendling Five, 60-31 Defense Proves Downfall for Loggers; Gard Leads Scoring With 16 Points; Les Craiger Sinks 11 for Losers By EHLE REBER The Duckling hoopsters outclassed the Wendling Loggers in every department of the game last night to take the Timber Toppers, 60 to 31. It was the yearlings’ second straight win.

At half time the frosh had a 28 to 11 lead. With 12 min- j utes to go in the final period the ! frosh led 42 to 20. Gard Gets 16 Leonard Gard had his usual scoring spree, sinking 16 counters to lead the field, with Doug Caven and Logger Les Craiger following close behind with 11 each. Don Galbreaith played a scrap ping game and went out midway in the final half with four personals j and four points to his credit. j Bob Deverell, the lad who broke j into the starting lineup last week, I dropped in seven points for the victors, as did Les Thompson, lanky yearling center. Last night’s win makes two straight for the Duckling quintet which beat the Gardiner townies last weekend, 81 to 50. Warren sent his crew of reserves in last night with but five minutes to go. Leonard, Winslow, King, Brown, and Van Marter made up the frosh quintet to finish the game after the regulars had gone to the showers. Frosh (60) (31) Wendling Gard (16) .F.
