’Ml* DUCK TRACKS : •.••utniiiniiiniimiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiHimiiiiiiiiiiHiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiniii . By ELBERT HAWKINS 1 Since the second Idaho game when Messrs Archie Buckley and Frank Heniges staged their whis tle tooting marathon (or maybe the teams got rougher?) there has been speculation as to “the worth” of basketball officials. This column’s only pretention is to give what they actually get paid. You can decide how much they are worth. For the regular 1 conference games here they're paid f a flat sum of $20.00 for actually ] working the game. Added to this is 1 a minimum of $5.00 for transpor tation, and also an allowance for time off their work if said offi cials happen to be in actual busi ness somewhere. For the northern-southern divi sion championship play-offs the conference has jumped the ante somewhat and set an arbitrary salary of $35 per game for each of ficial. And they’ll be picked from the northern district this year. Ot course, added to the $35 sum is the usual transportation allowance and enough to compensate for the arbitrator's time away from work. Added thought: first class trans portation is specified. Bill Cole, Oregon’s pudgy ex-line coach, who goes to Santa Ana high school this spring to start coach ing football, has a system all of his own. It’s neither the Jones sys tem, the Warner system, nor the - Itockne system. We’ll have to call it the “Cole system.” Big Bill :: merely has a turnout and looks his boys over lo see what material - he has, AND THEN he applies the " technique that’ll bring the most - out of his boys. His success speaks i"for itself. In 11 years at Tustin, California, ,1 before coming to Oregon he won v six basketball championships. Bill did it with a relatively slow of fense, too. Like Idaho's Coach For - rest Twogood, Washington State’s Z Jack Friel, and Washington’s Hec Edmundson, he uses a man-for . man defense exclusively. "It amounts to that anyway, whether you use a zone or man-for-man,” "says Big Bill. He goes to a very, very conven ient set-up at Santa Ana, coaching "'only five miles or so from his Or lange ranch which, incidentally, * suffered’ to the extent of about * $1,000 when the well-liked former “University of Southern California *■ graduate came to Oregon to spend *'a year coaching Tex Oliver’s Web “foot linemen. Who could blame Big m Bill for making the change to a “spot so near his home? - Oregon's championship Wcbfoot basketecrs have lost only one homo “ game in two years, that being • about a month ago to Washington * State. In 1938, the Ducks took all eight conference games at home. , Operative SAMM1E gives a su per-powerful reason for this. At least it sounds good. It seems that a certain $.98 hat (brown we think) has gone to ev ery one of those home tilts except the one Oregon dropped to Wash ington State. The owner, Willie Frager, missed that unfortunate game, and his hat did too. This triple “unverified" information is offered to Coach Hobby Hobson and his cohorts with an eye to the future. * * * Coach Honest John Warren and his jayvee basketball team . . . This column last fall offered the startling fact that jayvees in the East were freshman teams. It was accepted with a grain of salt by skeptics who referred to the word junior varsity from which the word is derived. “Washington's junior varsity crew is not a freshman crew,” they explained, “it’s really a super varsity group. But we'll reassert, a “iaveej team in the East IS a freshman team." Freshman Arnie Millstein, who “growed out thar at New j York,” not only says it’s as com mon as the words Duckling, frosh, or rook but even offers written proof of it. From the City College of New York's varsity hoop roster for this season: Name Class Pos. Exp.! Carpier Soph G Jayvee * * * A tribute to Yankee Joe Gordon, ex-LIniversity of Oregon buseballer who was the prize rookie of logg major league baseball: “He’s one in a million.” It comes from Ida ho’s Forrest Twogood, a baseball man himself w ho might bo up there pitching right now but for a shoulder ailment. Elaborating more, he says it matters not whe ther you hit .230 or .400 in the big time. “Being up there means you’ve got something.” And to U Roaming Duck Mermen Invade California Pool Today Sigma Chi, Theta Chi, and -izzedsTake'A’ Hoop Tilts; rheta Chi, ATOs Win in *B’ TODAY’S INTRAMURAL.

It was a rematch of a pre vious league game. The SAEs held their own the ’irst quarter and were only four joints behind the Theta Chis’ seven joints.

Sigma Chi 14, DU 11 Two fast and aggressive ball Hubs, the DU and Sigma Chi “A” teams, played 20 minutes of neck breaking basketball and when the tinal gun went off the Sigma Chi squad was the victor with a slim three-point margin. The score was 14 to 11. The first quarter ended with the DUs on top with four points to their opponents’ two. At half-time the score was 6 to 6. The DUs took ihe tip-off at the beginning of the second half and sank a shot for two points, but when the quarter ended they were lagging, 11 to 12. One minute before the final gun, the DUs took nine shots in succes sion at the basket but were unable to connect with any. The Sigma Chis got hold of the bull and sail! a field goal in the last few seconds of play to put the game on ice. Verdi Sederstrom was the game's high point man with five counters. W.

While discussing the methods of approaching a solution to the basketball officiating controver sy in public opinion class yes terday. Dr. Schumacher asked if two officials was sufficient to capably handle a game. "I think there should be three officials,” one student replied. “—and require that at least two whistles be blown at the same time before a foul shot is allowed?” the instructor humor ously asked. The controversy is still un settled. lustrutc he points to the 'J~t home runs Joe Gordon bludgeoned out lor the lauiis last summer. By .JACK LEE The fast-stepping Fizzed basket-; ball team gained another step toward the coveted “A” champion ship as they easily trounced Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 41 to 18, in a high scoring tilt. By virtue of their win the Fizzeds established themselves as one of the prime favorites for the donut hoop crown. Both teams started out rather slowly, Ed O’Rielly, flashy SAE forward, being the first player of either team to break into the scor ing column after five minutes of playing time had elapsed. This was the only lead SAE was able to possess during the entire contest. The first quarter ended in a 2 to 2 deadlock. With Phil Craft leading the way, the Fizzeds lengthened their mar gin of victory to a 17 to 6 score at the halfway mark. The individual star of the clash was Rod Hansen who accounted for 10 points and broke up several potential scoring attempts of the SAE quintet. The ability of O' Reilly to connect with the hoop saved SAE from a complete rout. In their next tilt, the Fizzeds will meet the winner of the Delta Tau Delta-Sigma Ghi game. If they can gain a victory in this con test they will be in the finals. Lineups: Fizzeds (41) (18) SAE Dickey (10) .F . (4) Meek Hansen (10) .F .. (12) O’Reilly Howsman (6) .... C .

Alpha Tail Omega 19, Beta 18 In a game replete with thrills, the hotelmen from Alpha Tau Omega knocked Beta Theta Pi out of the running for the “B” champ ionship by nosing them out 19 to 18. Throughout the game neither team enjoyed more than a three point lead. The first period ended favoring the Betas, 5 to 3. During the last few’ minutes the score was tied three different times. Don Turner, curly-headed Beta forward was starred the last minutes of play accounting for two buckets and retrieving the ball off the backboard after nearly every scramble. Harry Weston was the lad who was responsible for the ATO victory when he sank a cripple and made good on a char ity toss. The next hurdle the hotelmen will have to top will be the Fiz zeds whom they meet in a semi final match. The winner of this match will advance to the finals of the “B" championship.

Duckling Squad Shows Class in Practice Drills Warren's Brigade Improves; Plays Rooks Friday After a weekend of intensive of fense and defense practice, John Warren’s fighting Duckling bas ketball squad looks as though it will give their state cousins a bat tle this Friday night when they , meet for the third game of the sc 1 ries on McArthur court. 1 Warren stated last night that his hoop tossers were improving by leaps and bounds and would stand a good chance of toppling the Hooks from their pedestal this weekend. The squad has improved its pass ing to quite an extent and has also improved its shooting which has been their downfall in past games. Deverell Sparks Bob Deverell, little dynamite guard, has added a lot of spark to the frosh offense since breaking into the lineup several weeks ago. Leonard Card, frosh scoring ace, has improved a great deal since the last rook tangle and should fatten his scoring mark Friday. His total is 120 ponits for nine games. Caven Has 88 Doug Caven, driving guard, has boosted his scoring to 88 for the nine encounters. Caven seems to be <juite a dead eye on shots from around the foul circle, while Card takes to side shots. Lcs Thompson, the hardest worker on the team, has a per manent berth at center. He has 31 counters for the nine games chalked up. Don Galbrcailh will probably be at the other forward spot with Card for the next rook battle. Gal breaith follows Caven in scoring with a 54-point total. The portly mentor places most of his reserve strength on Lavernc Van Martcr. Dick Whitman. Ross Kilborn. and Burke Austin. Kilborn Linfield Grapplers Engage UOTh ursday Fresh from an ls-18 deadlock with University of Washington's wrestlers, Oregon graplers are tuning up for a possible ten-man match against the Llnfield wrestlers Thursday evening in the wrestling room of the men's gymnasium. Mort Myers. Dale Peterson, and Willie Williams, Oregon grapplers in the matches with the Huskies, are sure of having bouts. Williams, captain of the much-improved Oregon bone-crushing outfit, will get the nod against I Gtllis, Lmfield heavyweight. In an! exhibition, Glenn Carroll will battle against Endicott, also at the heavyweight post. Peterson, president of the Mitt1 and Mat club, will take on Dichter Linfield 175-pounder. Berger Uorvick, whisker-win ning sophomore, will tangle with , Meyers, Linfield 165-pounder A1 Conger fights against Hight.l Linfield, at 155 pounds. Myers will wrestle aaginst .Nick- ■ cfson.

Wendling Outscored By Frosh, 50 to 40 Leonard Gard Tips In 18 Counters for High Honors It was a football game on a bas ketball court Monday night when the Wendling Loggers defeated the frosh, 50 to 40 at Wendling. The Loggers were ahead the entire game and held a half-time lead of 23 to 16. Leonard Gard, was high scorer for the frosh with 18 points while Dick Wright scored a like num ber for the Wendling team. Honest John Warren gave his re serves a good workout, putting in LaVerne Van Marter and Ross Kil burn to hold down the tree topping quintet. Van Marter garnered five points and Kilborn two.

ATOs Tip SAEs, 2-1 In Donut Handball The hotelmen from Alpha Tau Omega not only won their basket ball game today but also garnered a victory over Sigma Alpha Epsi lon in handball by taking two out of three matches. A1 Conger was forced to play three games with the SAEs hander before he won his match. The scores of these tilts were 21-8, 14 21. and 21-4. The Alpha Tau Omega handbal lers also won their doubles, with Leonard Isberg and Chuck Eaton defeating Wes Petrie and Jim Goodhugh. 21-14, and 21-16. Harry Lowe gave the SAEs their only victory when he took two close games from Jack Stafford. The scores of these were 22-20 and 21-19.

Golden Bears Plag Host to Ned Johns' Crew Stanford Is Next On List; San Jose Match Saturday By JIMMIE LEONARD There’ll be a bunch of Duck swimmers in the haunts of the Golden Bear this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. In the first of a three meet road series the traveling Uni versity of Oregon mermen will meet the University of California at Berkeley. According to earlier reports and newspaper writeups studied by Mentors Ned Johns and Jim Reed, the Webfoots have the ability to down the Bears. The Beats are fairly strong in some of the free style events, however. The Oregon men are dynamite in three events —300-yard medley relay (Mallory, Dallas, and Wetmore), 150-yard backstroke (Wetmore), and 200 yard breast stroke (Dallas). Ore gon now holds Pacific coast rec ords in each of these three events —the Ducks did it against Wash ington last Saturday. Lose by Inches The Webfoots suddenly became aware of the fact that they had a likely team in the 400-yard free style relay last Saturday, when they lost by an inch to a strong Washington group. Ralph Cathey, Elmer Mallory, and Leo Gaffney, divers, rank with the best on the coast. Gaffney defeated Bill Longe vin, veteran Husky, last Saturday. There were great improvements in Oregon's free-stylers last week. Lanky Pierce Mallory, “Maui” Jim Marnie, and Tom Starbuck came close to exploding Husky hopes. After today’s meet with the Bears, the Eugeneans move to Palo Alto for their toughest meet with the Stanford Indians. Satur day, February 18, they go to San Jose for their last match with the Spartans of San Jose State. Forgotten Men— IIIIIUI!!IIIIII!IIIIIU1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII«IIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII By AKJNIE MILLSTEIN Upon entering the Igloo, one readily notices “Ticket Office— Room 2,” on the McArthur court directory. It is in this spacious of fice that Ed Walker can be found daily. Ed was a member of the class of '28, when the freshmen were re quired to wear green lids and re ceive their Friday morning hacks cn the library steps at the hands of the Order of the “O.” “That was college life,” said Mr. Walker. “The spirit was there and the students didn’t even question the price of an ASUO card (plug). They want ed to, and did, attend all the sport ing events with a spirit that is very hard to replace.” Wellington, Kansas, produced Ed and at present he is a married Eu genian with two youngsters. He started work in the ticket office around July, 1936. Tickets for all events are available there. Natur ally there is bookkeeping wherever money is involved, so Ed debits and credits the books for the ASUO. Hayward field, which is now be ing enlarged, originally held around 12.000, but after the alterations arc complete it should be some where in the neighborhood of 18.000. In our “Forgotten Man’s” esti mation, “Hobby” Hobson has one of the best teams in the history of Oregon. Ed is pretty sure that they will reach the play-offs and as a point of information to the student body, they will have to ex change their ASUO cards plus 40 cents for a ticket. The dates are March 10, 11, and 13, with no change because of spring vacation. The University of New Hamp shire has a new course in hotel administration.

Obviously impressed by the Beaver’s reformation and potential speed and power, Coach Howard Hobson and his Ducks did not “spare the hosses” in their little drill ses- , sion. Coach Hobson gave his charges 40 minutes of scrimmage.: The “first varsity’1—Laddie Gale, j Urgel Wintermute, John Dick, |, Bobby Anet, and Wally Johansen; —lined up on one side with Bob Hardy, Ted Sarpola, Red Me-1 Neeley, Ford Mullen, and Matt Pavalunas on the other. But by the end of the drill period, the “yellows’’ or the super-varsity— Porky Andrews, Earl Sandness, Toivo Piippo, Archie Marshik, and 1 Tini Smith were running Orange formations at the Webfoot five. ! Beavers Run Now Oregon State’s Beavers, now a galloping crew of basketeers, have won their last two games, and I prospects for (of all things) a race, horse OSC-Oregon game, are look- j ing up. [ At the conclusion of the Idaho series, Oregon topped the league both offensively and defensively. The Ducks have an offensive aver age of 46.3 points and a defensive ' percentage of 35.8. While the Ducks are bombing' the Beavers at Corvallis this week- j end, Washington’s Huskies, still. dangerous and hopeful, will open a crucial Inland Empire road trip at Pullman against the Washing ton State college Cougars Friday i and Saturday nights. Monday and Tuesday the Hus-! kies wind up their tour at Mos cow against Forrest Twogood’s Vandals. One defeat for the Huskies will leave them on the brink of elimina-1 tion, and two defeats will lower! the curtains on the Purple and Gold brigade’s championship hopes., A clean sweep of the road trip,! however, would set the stage for; a “championship" series at Seattle ’ with the Ducks March 3 and 4. Phi Beta Holds Valentine Party Phi Beta, national music and drama honorary, held their Valen tine s party last night in Gerlinger hall with President Jean Ramsden presiding at the preceding business meeting. A skit entitled “Peanuts” was presented by Barbara Barrett, Marjorie Moore, and Betty Cowan. After a talk on the scholarships awarded by Phi Beta, the party ended with the serving of refresh ments. The rising consciousness in the western world of the importance of the Orient is reflected this year at Cornell university where for the first time an assistant professor of Chinese history has been appointed.
