DUCK ! TRACKS I By ELBERT HAWKINS The Ducks "went a slummin' ’’ Saturday night, which means in effect that they took a night off. Nobody would dispute that. A sport adage of long ago, "you -r.n't win ’em all” g'es for the 50 - 31. rout suffered at the hands of Oregon State. T‘ot for many seasons had a them division team piled up ‘-"i straight. A defeat was over T hat goes up must come V trend now wi 1 be up. TT bson points out, they couldn’t have done worse. The Webfoot mentor gives all due credit to the Staters and Slats ill for socli a timely upset. In fact he says they “out - ball hawked,” out - shot, out - passed o i!-everythinged” the YVebfoots n nil but one department. That • e’ll point out. He brands as “ridiculous” the statement that Oregon State out ran or out-galloped the Ducks. To out-run a team, points out Hobby, you run and run until that team Is worn out and can’t keep on run ning with you from sheer fatigue. The Webfoots didn’t do enough ac tual running Saturday night to work up a good sweat. To say the Orangemen didn’t run at all would obviously be an untruth. When they intercepted an Oregon pass, they ran like thunder. And there were other times too. But so does Forrest Twogood’s Idaho Vandal quintet, a team which uses the slow-break or de liberate offense almost exclusive ly, run when it makes a steal. According to team shooting rec ords, the Staters took only 55 phots to 53 for Oregon. Compare that with the 75 Washington and Oregon each took in their recent games at Eugene. Furthermore, Hobby mentions that a lot of Ore gon State’s close shots came late in the game after Oregon had switched to a man-for-man de fense. * * * Lest our northern neighbors misread this it might be mentioned that nothing derogatory is intend ed. Hobby Hobson offers no alibis. His team was simply out-played and soundly beaten . . . but not out-run. The Beavers were hot (they ad mit that) and the Webfoots were cold (everyone admits that). When two such factors combine in one game you’ve got something. How badly “off” the Ducks were in shooting alone may be gleaned from shooting averages kept by a Webfoot statistician. Figuring that Oregon took 58 shots and Oregon State 55, their eompartive shoot ing averages are .164 and .81)6. And that is not a inisnrint. It shows Oregon State over Jwice as ef. fective in floor shooting. Field baskets were Oregon I), Oregon State 21. The Webfoots are starting from scratch this week. Hobby has de moted his first stringers to the status of the rest of his squad, pointing out that the “off” part of Oregon’s basketball against Ore gon State was more than just a five-man slump. So for this Fri day’s return game against the Staters he promises to send his five most efficient men on the floor. * * * Northern Division Scoring' Lead er Laddie Gale’s three points arainst Oregon State constituted pretty much of a record for him self. Discounting his sophomore year, 1937, when he was handi capped with a broken hand and was trying to break into the Ore gon lineup, he has in four years done worse only once. As a freshman muter John War ren in ‘36, Laddie got into 18 of the Duckling’s 19 games and pot ted a record total of 319 points. Wally Johansen, second, was far behind with 137. It was curly in his first year that Laddie Gale scored a single point as the frosh trimmed Wendling by a 41 to 34 score. Laddie played center and forward and it’s very possible hr wasn’t in that game very long. In a 43 to 16 rout against Tilla mook during that same year he was held to two field goals and Oregon Mermen Tip San Jose Staters, 54 to 21 Winners Garner Six First Places; Losers Get Three The Webfoot swimming' team ended its California invasion Sat urday afternoon by waxing San Jose State college, 54 to 21. The Oregon men copped six first places, while Coach Charlie Walk er’s Spartans garnered three. Two of San Jose's wins were the result of stellar performances of Captain Martin Wempe. Wempe, barely recovered from a mid-win ter illness, won the 200-yard free style and the 440-yard frec-style. The other Spartan winner was Martin, who took top diving hon ors away from Oregon’s Ralph Cathey. Three Straight The Ducks’ 300-yard medley re lay team made it three straight for their southern jaunt, as Jack Levy, Jack Dallas, and Pierce Mallory outran the Spartans, posting the time of 3:15. Levy replaced Wet more, who swam against both California and Stanford tankmen. Jack Dallas and Sherman Wet ! more won their events—200-yard breast stroke and 150-yard back i stroke—in each of the three dual meets. Ralph Lafferty posted a second against the San Jose men. Levy, Duck captain, also aided in the Ducks’ landslide of points, when he came in second to Wet more. Defeated by Stanford and Cali fornia, the Webfoot 400-yard free style squad surpassed San Jose State. Summary: 300-yard medley relay—Won by Oregon (Levy, Dallas, and Mal lory). Time, 3:15. 200-yard free-style Won by M. Wempe, San Jose; second, Wet more, Oregon; third, Goodwin, San Jose.

George Corey won his singles match from Jack Stafford, ATO, 21-17 and 21.14. Tom Robertson and Ivarl Koch, Beta doubles team, defeated Leon ard Isberg and Len Eaton, 21-11, 21-11). Only ATO winner was Johnny Davis who beat Hal Duden, 9-21. 21-17, and 22-20. four points. In his other games he averaged a bit over 12.5 points per. That pace against Oregon State and Washington in Oregon's last three games would net Laddie Gale a new 1 (5-game northern di vision scoring mark with over a field goal to spare.

All Champs Must Lose; Webfoots Do, 50 to 31 Oregon Win Sireak Checked at Ten Consecutive Games by Oregon State In Bewildering Scoring Avalanche By GEORGE PASERO Even the best must lose once in a while! Oregon’s tall basketeers found that out much to their dismay Satur day night when a reformed Oregon State club dropped the Ducks by a huge 00-31 score. After 10 straight wins, the Ducks had one coming, but the tragedy was that they should suffer their letdown just when Oregon State was having one of those "on" nights Northern Division Standings W L Pet.

Hendricks Hall Hoop Team Tips Tri Belts, 16-13 Lucky Aces, Susies, Thetas, and Orides Also Triumph By MARGARET YOUNG Hendricks hall went into the semi-finals of "B” league after they dropped the Tri Delts, 16-13, in last night's coed hoop tilt. Other games over the weekend resulted in victories for the Susies, 18-6, over the Gamma Phis; the Lucky Aces, 23-5, over the Thetas, and 33-5 over the Gamma Phis; and the Orides 33-3 over the Pi Phis. The Tri Delt squad led from the throw-in until the end of the third q uart e r. hut the dorm girls stiffened their defense and with three minutes to go Alice J. Friz zell tied the score at 13 to 13. The score went up to 15 to 13, Hen dricks, when Ethel Dixon came through with a crucial basket. Lineup; Hendricks (16) (13) Tri-Delt Spies (1).F . (2) Crane Wodaege (1),.... F .

Saturday Results I hc other dorm bunch, the "A" Susies, dumped the Gamma Phis, 18-0. in a ragged game lust Satur Ua;-. l'jvui tile i...t vi.istlc, Uis The Ducks couldn’t do anything , right. They couldn’t hang on to the bail, .they couldn’t hit the bucket, and they couldn't even dribble. The Beavers, for their part, were hotter than a proverbial four alarm blaze. They ran right through Oregon’s defense, and they hit 21 out of 55 shots at the basket. Miss Plenty Oregon got only 9 baskets in 53 attempts. Then too, the Webfoots failed to check one Elmer Kolbcrg, former star football player, close enough. Large Elmer potted 17 points, and almost single handedly ruined the Ducks. Elmer hit them from all angles. Long and short shots all meant baskets when Kolbcrg let fly. In fact, the only way Oregon could have stopped the very torrid Mr. Kolberg would have been to wrap a blanket around him to put out the flame, he was that hot. While this was going on, Lad ! die Gale, Oregon’s high scoring forward, was having a terrible j time. He couldn't seem to find the ; range and wound up his night’s work with only three points. Tall Laddie now must average 12 points a game in the final three contests to top Wally Palmberg's mark of 187 points. Gale has 152. Washington Close Second The defeat left the Ducks with 11 wins and two setbacks. Wash ington, in second place, has won 10 and lost 3. Yesterday afternoon the Ducks and Coach Hobson held a council Susies were leading and gave the Greek letter lioopstcrs no chance to rally. Tiny Pat Lawson, shining ax ample of forward on the dorni team, was high scorer with four field goals. . Lucky Aces, "A” champions, stopped the Theta sextet Saturday afternoon, 23 to 5. Betty Biddings ran wild to score nine points and Mary Rear was right behind her for high-scoring honors with eight points. Pi Phi fell before an Glides on slaught led by Lois Neilson, 33-3. Gale Maintains Scoring Lead With 152 Points Center Wintermute Has 137 Tallies For Second Spot Laddie Gale, the northern divi sion's big chief in bcoring, had his j basket-slinging practically stopped j by Oregon State Saturday, but a field goal and a free throw boosted his total to 152. Totals do not in clude last night’s Id'aho-Washing ton game. In second place is Webfoot Cen ter Slim Wintermute with 137 tal-! lies, and in the third spot is Roy Williamson of Washington with a 126 total. John Dick is in seventh for Oregon with 87 tallies, and Wally Johansen's 70 are enough to hold the Webfoot guard in po sition No. 13. Is Still Close Gale’s 152 total is still within hailing distance of Wally Palm berg's 1936 record of 187. To crash the Oregon Stater’s three-year-old 16-game mark, the rangy Oregon forward needs an average of 12 for his last three games against Oregon State and Washington (two against the Huskies a week from Friday and Saturday).

Revenge will be the keynote of practices this week. Scrimmage is due, and all positions are wide open, Coach Hobson declared last night. Laddie Gale and Wally Johansen both received injuries in the Ore gon State game and both will not report for practice for a couple of days. Gale is expected to be ready to play by Friday, but it is doubt ful if Johansen will be available. Coach Hobson indicated that several reserves, notably Bob Hardy, Matt Pavalunas, Ted Sar pola, and Ford Mullen, may crash the Duck starting lineup. Emerald Team Bows | To Barometer, 22-21 1 The strong Emerald quintet was forced to bow to a mighty on slaught of Barometer strength at Corvallis Saturday afternoon. The score ended with the Staters having just one more point than the Emeralds at 22 to 21. ! Seldom have the maple boards of the Oregon Slate gym seen such an array of talent, perhaps not basketball, that blessed the team and benches ot the rival names. i uc Kmeralti defeated the Barometer here by 32 to 28. The play-off of this series, con sidered ill sport circles one of the most grueling contests waged by man, will be played here Friday afternoon at McArthur court. The Kmcrald led the game’s scoring until the last few minutes when "Handlebar Hank” Garnjobst sank a couple of one-handed shots to help the mighty Beavers forge ahead. Hansen and Shipley turned in good games at the backboard 1 Garujobst was the game’s high point man with .mx points. Hansen was high for the Emerald with four points.

This tilt was the last of the intramural basketball season. Starting slowly, the Fizzeds gained momentum as the game pro- j gressed. SAE scbred six points before the Fizzeds were able to garner ; a single encounter. The score at the end of the first period favored I OAilt, O LU X. Fizzeds Take Over The second quarter saw the Fizzeds overtake their opponents and gain an ll-to-10 lead at half time. The game was a real thriller during the entire first two periods with each team playing clever ball. After the Fizzeds gained the lead, it was just a matter of time. Harry Lowe and Bill Cardinal suc ceeded in holding the score down for the first half but in the second half it was all Fizzed. With Denny Donovan, versatile quarterback on Tex Oliver’s grid machine, and Mural Wrestling Pairings to Be Made Pairings for intramural wrest ing will be posted on the gym nasium bulletin board late this afternoon and published in Wednes day’s Emerald. Matches will start Wednesday afternoon at four o' clock, with a match scheduled to begin every five minutes. A record entry list seemed prob able yesterday as the number of contestants weighing in ap proached the 150 mark. The deadline for those turning n heart checks, required for intra -nural wrestlers, has been set for loon today. Anyone entering intra dural wrestling whose name is not isted in the intramural pairings .vhen announced Tuesday is con sidered ineligible because of fail ire of the contestant to turn in a leart check report. Burton Boroughs leading the way the Fizzeds built up a 25-to-15 j margin at the end of the third j period. Rough and Tough Both teams got a little toward the rough side in the last quarter, and as a result three men were ousted from the tilt on four per sonal fouls. A peculiar oddity in this game was the fact that all three players who had four per sonal fouls on them were football players. Ernie Robertson was the first to leave the contest, being closely followed by “Curly” Beek ner and A1 Samuelson. While both teams were fouling the Fizzeds managed to run up a few counters to win. E'or the Fizzeds, Boroughs and Dcnovan were the shining lights, while Lowe and Cardinal stood out for SAE. Lnieups: Fizzeds (49) (25) SAE Donovan (12) .... F .... (6) Cardinal Samuelson (4)... F. ..
