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

urday afternoon by waxing San
Jose State college, 54 to 21. The
Oregon men copped six first

Two of San Jose's wins were the

The other Spartan winner was
Martin, who took top diving hon

Three Straight
The Ducks’ 300-yard medley re

California and Stanford tankmen.
Jack Dallas and Sherman Wet

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

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.

The defeat left the Ducks with
11 wins and two setbacks. Wash

10 and lost 3.

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

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. !

Fizzed Quintet Captures
'B’ Hoop Championship
From SAE Club, 49 to 25
Winners Come From Behind in Second
Period to Grab Lead in Rough Scrap;
Boroughs High With 11 Points
By JACK LEE
A high-scoring Fizzed quintet won the “B” championship yesterday]
afternoon by outscoring a scrappy Sigma Alpha Epsilon ball club, i
49 to 25. 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

A record entry list seemed prob
able yesterday as the number of

proached the 150 mark.
The deadline for those turning

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.
