DUCK I TRACKS ^mMiwiiiininiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinii!iiiniiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiniii!ni!iiiiiiiiniiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiii | By ELBERT HAWKINS That arm trouble called bursitis which has checked the career of many a promising baseball pitcher isn’t really curtains for the unfor tunate if he wants to stay with pitching. Forrest Twogood, the Idaho (loach, who has a typical case of i bursitis in his pitching wing, says, "I never did lose my stuff, I’ve got it now.” Pain from the bursitis and a split biseps tendon stopped him. Otherwise you might right now be reading about a Pitcher Twogood of the Cleveland Indians. What is bursitis? “What it real ly is,” he says, “a fluid sack in your arm bursts.” That takes away the arm’s lubrication and causes the joint to have a gristle and feel sandy. Then it hurts. Two gie first injured his arm in 1927 when pitching for the University of Iowa. And he stuck it out for seven more years. After leaving Iowa he was with the St. Louis Cardinals for several years and wound up with a couple of seasons on the Cleveland In dian roster, the Indians still own ing him. In the spring of ’34 when 'the Cleveland club was working out at New Orleans the bursitis ~ot to hurting so much Twogie out himself on the voluntary re i 'red list. Understand, he still ■'ins bursitis didn’t take away - v of the natural pitching stuff. St Louis Cardinal money helped Forrest Twogood through college, fact he doesn’t deny. Twogie says, “It kept me above the subsist ence level—so I got the most out of college.” Iowa had him as a football player, a good one too, but a broken leg in his sophomore ar ended the grid aspirations. The practice of major league lubs sending baseballers through -ollege isn’t a bit unusual, quite naturally. Examples can be found not far from home. Take big Bill Sayles, for instance. He speed bared for Oregon two seasons ago, pitching Hobby Hobson’s Webfoot team to a northern division cham-! pionship in his sophomore year.! But Big Bill was the property of the Boston Red Sox and he quit school. Twogood had a gentlemen’s agreement with the Cardinals, and he finished school and got the al mighty degree. George Varoff is no longer a pole vault champion of the world with his indoor and outdoor rec ords both gone. But right, now lie’s even a stronger bet than ever to hit the mythical 15-foot ceiling. day vaulted over 14 feet indoors, which Colonel Bill Hayward says Is a full six inches over his mark of the same time last year. Colonel Bill has long believed George can vault 15 feet, and this year will be i the Californian’s last chance In! college. **: rj< *1* George actually cleared the bar at 15 feet in a southern meet as a sophomore, but he knocked it off on the way down. Last winter at this time his best was around 13 feet 6 inches, and because of a bad leg he really didn’t get started during the spring. George's best vaulting last year was done during the summer months in Europe. In tne famous words of Emerald Edi tor Paul Deutschmann, "Things are looking up.” With 14 feet al ready bettered in the middle of February, Pole Vaulter George Varoff bids fair to have a record season. * * * Up one season and down the next, or down one season and up the next. Take your choice. That is the plight of the freshman bas ketball coaches of Oregon and Oregon State'. Wild Bill McKalip at Beaver ville had promise of a great rook quintet last winter what with a couple of Bellfountain "giant kil lers” and a few others. But in eligibility riddled McKalip's team and he had to sit in silent pain and watch Honest John Warren's Ore gon freshmen run rough-shod over the Orange babes in four straight games. Then the tables turned. Honest John had a pretty fair bunch of Ducklings lined up last December tc play on his Oregon yearling team of 1938. He did. that is, until examinations came along and took away four of his best athletes.! Right now the Ducklings are in the middle of their worst season under Honest John, have already btn walloped twice by McKalip's smooth and definitely superior rooks, and don't stand to win either of the last two unless- un less both teams have a shocking reversal of form. Aqua-Ducks Splash Out Win Over California, 40-35 Oregon Mermen Establish Three Meet Records Records Again Fall Before Dalias Wetmore Duo UNIVERSITY OF CALIFOR NIA, Berkeley, Feb. 15.—(Special to Emerald)—The traveling Uni versity of Oregon swimming team downed the Golden Bears of Cali fornia by a score of 40 to 35 this afternoon at the Berkeley pool. Five meet record's were broken, and the Ducks broke three of them. Oregon's new marks came in the 300-yard medley relay (Sherm Wetmore, Jack Dallas, Jim Mamie), 150 - yard backstroke (Sherm Wetmore), and the 200 yard breast stroke (Jack Dallas) Aronson of California established a. new mget record of :24.8 in the 50-yard dash. The Bear team Clarke, Figely, Cox, and Gerdes— set a new record of 3:50.4 in the 400-yard free-style relay. Wcbfoots Show Well The Wcbfoots stood the effects of the trip well, as was witnessed by the fast times turned in. Sherm Wetmore, super-streamlined' soph omore, turned in his best time 1:42.3 in the 150-yard backstroke “Captain Jack" Levy has showi remarkable improvement in this event. The “Milwaukee Mariner’ came in second to Wetmore. Lcvj has formerly been used in distance events, but recently has demon strated much talent as a back stroker. Webfoot Jack Dallas, anothei flying sophomore, left the best California could offer in his wash as he swept through the 25-yard P' ol to a new meet record of 2:31.8 in the 200-yard breast stroke. Dal las, exponent of the strenuous “butterfly” stroke, has never been beaten in this event. Veteran Ralph Laffert.y asserted his right to the order of breast strokers as he came in second, well ahead of California’s Woodman. Win Medley “Maui” Jim Marnie chipped in wilh Wetmore and Dallas to aid in turning up a new meet record in the 300-yard medley relay. Their time of 3:09 is somewhat under their coast record of 3:03 set last Saturday against the Washington Huskies. !

Still harping on accurate passing with hopes that the frosh will snap out of their doldrums and knock over the Oregon Slate rooks this Friday, the yearling mentor kept a tabulation on poor passes thrown in the game and found the results far from satisfactory. Today is the last chance the frosh will have to brush up on their passing before meeting the rooks in the massive Igloo this weekend. So far, the frosh have failed to score a win over their Corvallis brethren in the first two games of the "little civil war series." Led by Lettermen Ted Sarpola, Matt Pavalunas, and Ford Mullen, the super-varsity built up a strong lead in the first two quarters of the scrimmage, but when Sarpola ami Pavalunas went out the frosh started hitting. By the end of the third quarter the frosh were leading .'18 to 37, and it was up to George "Porky" Andrews to pull the game out of the fire for the supers. Paced by Len Card, clever ball handling frosh forward, and Doug Caven, the frosh made the going hard for the frosh stars of last year in the second half. Poor pass ing kept the yearlings from hitting more often. Don Calbreaith, Bob Deveiell. Les Thompson, Laverne Van Mar ter, Burke Austin, Boss Kilborn, and Dick Whitman were also used in the scrimmage and will prob ably see action in tomorrow night's incite.

In their first match this season in collegiate competition, Oregon grapplers came out from under a 15-point handicap to tie the Wash ington matmen, 18-18. Four Wrestle Oregon Four of the Webfoot men who saw action against the Huskies are slated to be in the Oregon corner tonight. In a previous match, Linfield won but one match from Oregon State. That match was in the heavyweight class. The Wildcat matman, Gillis, is heavyweight champion of the northwest. Oregon State won six matches against Washington’s three Friday night which establishes Oregon as favorites over the Linfield squad. Oregon’s Best Oregon, which has its strongest mat team this year, will be led in the attack against the Wildcats by “Wee” Willie Williams. Williams, captain of the Ducks, won his last fight against his Husky opponent by a decision. Williams will tangle with Gillis, Linfield’s northwest champion, at the heavyweight go. Glenn Carroll, Oregon heavy weight, will take on Endicott in an exhibition. Dale Peterson, talented blond president of the Mitt and Mat club, will attempt to regain his winning stride when he matches holds with. Dichter of Linfield at 175 pounds. Rorvick Has Match Berger Rorvick, winner of the beard-growing contest of the sophomore whiskerino, will replace Ray Foster at 165 pounds against Meyers of Linfield. Mort Myers, Oregon 155-pound er, is slated to endure six torrid minutes with Hight of Linfield. Jim Mountain, despite an injured shoulder, will come out of the Ore gon corner at the 145-pound go against Nickerson of Linfield.

At least they will be tonight at 7:30 o'clock in Gerlinger pool when the houses assemble for the second and final act of the intramural swimming meet. Three weeks ago the Delta Gammas walked off with 21;; points to lead the field, while Martha McClung won 11 tallies for the Pi Phis. In tonight's competition the various group's scores will be added to their last week's results, and then the organization with the highest cumulative score will be awarded the silver trophy. Speed Expected Some fast times are expected to be recorded. Martha McClung and several of her sisters have been practicing diligently on lengths, sprints, and diving many an after noon in the pool. Alpha Chi O's Jean Watson has been clocked at record-breaking time for both the 20 and -10-yard free-stylc races during practices, and should prove competition for Martha and Mar ion Barrett, Delta Gamma, who has been training since, the last meet. If you hear in the near future that the University high schoolers have challenged the WAA to a During: work-outs in the Gcrlinger pool, these veritable fish have shown some really fine swimming. A Uni - High sophomore, June Hitchcock, suggested a practice sprint with Martha McClung last week, and proceeded to reach the other end just ahead of her. Watch her. she is apt to break a few pool records herself before she finishes many years at our University. The same events that were run during the first meet arc scheduled for tonight. They arc: 20-yard free-stvle, 10-yard free-style, 20 yard back crawl, 40-yard back crawl, 40-yard side or overarm, 20 vard breast stroke, relay, and div ing.

Quiet Reigns on Oregon Hoop Front Coach Hobson Calls Off Regular Drill For Day; Part of Varsity and Super Varsity Work Out Anyway Quiet reigned on all fronts yesterday as northwest hoop rivals eased off in their preparation for Saturday’s general bombardment which will see Oregon and Oregon State and Washington and Washington State meeting in civil war skirmishes. At McArthur court, a “no practice” sign greeted Oregon’s Ducks when they appeared for a workout. A hard scrimmage Tuesday night convinced Mentor Howard Hobson that rest was the “medicine” for his jjucks. ao ne went gomng, wnne members of his league - leading brigade watched “B” league games. Forty miles to the north, at Oregon State, the Beavers fresh from two consecutive victories over the Idaho Vandals, by 42-2S and 35-30 scores, Monday and Tuesday nights, also recuperated from the exigencies of their hoop labors. Huskies Make Trip In the meantime, Idaho's Van dals, the only club which does not play this weekend but which meets Washington at Moscow next Mon day and Tuesday, was heading back to the Inland Empire, then hopes shorn by galloping Oregon and Oregon State teams. At Seattle, Washington's Hus kies were packing their hoop para phernalia for their second road trip of the season, into the Inland Empire. Although Coach Hobson called off practice, his edict did not keep Wintemute and Gale Still Head Division Scoring Oakridge Dead-eye Gets Within Range Of 187 Record With Oregon’s Laddie Gale and Slim Wintermute head and shoul ders above the field and going away, interest in the northern di vision scoring race, now nearing the three-quarter post, centers around the struggle for lower bracket positions in the coveted ’’Big Ten.” Wally Johansen, lithe Oregon guard, was the only victim of the scoring struggle in the Oregon State-Idaho series during the first of the week. Johansen, who held ninth position prior to the Corval lis series, was passed by both Ron Harris of Idaho and Frank Mandic of the Beavers and pushed down to 11th. Harris Gets 13 Harris collected 13 points in the two games to bring his total to 79, while Mandic gathered 16 to move into tenth place. The seven top scorers in the loop were not affected by the rise of Mandic and Harris, however. This “status quo” will not be jeopard ized until Friday and Saturda; when Washington plays Washing ton State and Oregon faces Ore gon State. Both Gale and Wintermute an in no immediate danger of beinj overhauled. Tall Laddie has 14! points to his credit, and is only 31 points away from Wally Palm berg's “official” record. In ordei to set a new high mark, Gale mus hit just under 10 points in the re maining four games. Slini Close Too The 6-foot-S-inch Wintermuti has scored 128 points, and needs a game average of 15.25 the resl of the way to top Palmberg’i mark.

The Super-varsity—Porky | A ndrews, Tini Smith, Archie Mar i shik, Earl Sandness, and Toivo Piippo —- reinforced by Ted Sar pola, Matt Pavalunas, and Ford Mullen, took on John Warren's frosh in a spirited session. Gale Polishes Eye Laddie Gale, Oregon’s top scorer, was also out for a little shooting. Determined that Wally Palmberg’s scoring record will not escape him, tall Lad is doing all he can to im prove and polish his shooting. Al though Gale broke the 18-game record last year, his mark was not recognized officially because of the addition of Montana to the confer S ence and the lengthening of the I schedule. However, in Coach Hob j son’s eyes, the long trip to Butte, Montana, and the four extra games was an added handicap to Gale. In the first 16 games last year, Gale rang the bell for 193 points, j six points more than Palmberg's I mark of 187. Oregon State has been a vastly improved team, since Coach Slats Gill switched from the “slow stuff” to the fast break. The Beavers have won their last three games, and now loom as a definite threat to the supremacy of the Ducks. If the Ducks run their winning streak to 11 straight by walloping the Staters, they will be virtually “in” as far as the championship race is concerned. A win from the Staters would leave the Ducks with only three games left to play, and with only one black mark on their schedule, the towering Web focts will be mighty hard to catch.
