DUCK TRACKS ••Miiiiii||inillUilllflllllllllUIIUIII!llllllllilIlillllU!IIIIUIIIIHIIIIIIUIIUIIIt|lli" j By ELBERT HAWKINS San Francisco has gone mad over its world’s fair, report Coach Ned Johns and his Oregon swim mers who returned Sunday from a three-meet invasion of the south land. The Golden Gate exposition is causing a mad-house, no foolin’. The Webfoots stopped overnight at the Bay city during their week n trek just before the big show rot underway and report they uldn’t hardly find an eating place in the whole of San Fran o. What is hoppening down there: The place is westernized with ev evryone wearing appropriate cos tumes . . . the school kids are wearing sombreros and bright shirts . . . furthermore, says Coach Johns, office workers are wearing them too ... in fact it’s a rule down there . . . people who don’t westernize are forced to stand in store windows with tags on them for four hours . . . after that pun ishment is finished they’ve got^to drink a full gallon of water . . . in fact the Ducks claim they were lucky to get out alive. . . . Toward that mass of moving hu manity today moves three of Colo nel Bill Hayward's track stars to compete in the Golden Gate expo sition’s invitational meet. They are Pole Vaulter George Varoff, Half Miler Kirman Storli, and Hurdler Lloyd Dod. Prediction: Oregon’s swimming; team will defeat the Oregon Stat ers here in their future meet. Coach Ned Johns himself makes that frank bit of observation even though the Staters posted a 38 to 37 win in a previous melee at Cor. vallis. And furthermore, all of Ore gon’s swimming Webfoots back up Skipper Johns. The matter of pool size alone ought to make a signifi cant difference, Cjrvallis, being 100 feet and Oregon’s 60, or 20 yards. It makes a difference. Against California, Stanford, and San Jose State last week the Web foot churners were in 75 foot pools, all but the latter being outdoors, something new in experience for the Oregonians. A trick that didn't work: San Jose State has a great freshman swimming team this year with four or five outstanding men. So the Spartan directors wanted to make it a triangular meet against Ore gon with their frosh team being a third (working under the assump tion their two teams could split the places and make Oregon lose). They were very insistant . . . until Coaches Johns and Jim Iteed said the Oregon’s didn’t care to swim anyhow. The Ducks beat San Jose State hundily Saturday night, hav ing previously lost to Stanford and beaten California on Wednesday nd Thursday as per prediction. One of the t p ranking Sun Jose osh swimmers was Forbes Mack who swam for the Salem YMCA against Oregon's Duckling team last winter and worried Jack Dal las in the breast stroke. Naturally e didn’t get to swim against the Y. ebfoots Saturday but there’s a bare possibility he might come to Oreg n later ... * » * Though he is far away in Colum bus, Ohio, carrying on advance studies while on a year’s leave of bsence from Oregon, Swimming Coach Mike Hoyman’s heart is evi dently right with Ned Johns and the Webfoots of 1939. He recently composed a letter to Emerald Scribe George Pasero requesting clippings and word on how the team is going this season. His let ter of February 16 in part reads: ... I miss Oregon and the swimmers considerably. Doing some interesting work this quar ter in Medicine, Public Health, and Education. Dallas and Wetmore are well known over here and are consid ered within the top five men in their respective events among U. S. collegiate swimmers. Not bad for sophomores. Saturday here I am officiating the Michigan-Ohio State meet— they have the two host teams in the country this year and it will be some meet l>elie\c me. Best ot Luck—Mike, Crucial Oregon State Contest Only Two Days Away > Revenge is Keynote Of Hoop Preparation Reserves Spark in Close Tilt Against Varsity; Hobson Threatens Shakeup For Friday's Starting Lineup By GEORGE PASERO Revenge (with a capital R) was the "battle anthem" of Oregon's Ducks yesterday as Coach Hobby Hobson held a shakeup stick over his entire squad in a long scrimmage session at McArthur court. Issuing an ultimatum to his first stringers to either play ball or ake a seat on the bench, the Duck mentor, far from satisfied with he showing of his men, announced that “all positions are wide open.” And with this threat hanging over their heads, the Duck "first ten” battled long and hard to down a spirited team of "yellows” by only seven points. In the role of the Orangemen, the “yellows” — Earl Sandncss, Toivvo Piippo, Porky Andrews, Archie Marshik, Gib Wiley, Tini Smith, and Red McNeeley—showed surprising strength in th,e face of the “first team” fire. And it was not until the final few minutes of the long scrimmage game, that Hobby’s Ducks managed to beat the super-varsity. Against the “yellow s,” the Ducks had trouble hitting the basket, but nevertheless, it was apparent that they “were out for blood.” Still smarting from the beating at OSC’s hands, they charged and they battled at the backboards. Faced with the prospect of meet ing Oregon State here Friday with out the services of little Wally Jo hansen, the Duck mentor moved Matt Pavalunas, chubby guard, into a first string guard position. The slippery Asturian was in jured in the bruising Oregon State battle at Corvallis last Saturday night, and it is doubtful if he will be ready to play Friday. In an attempt to find a “click ing” combination, Coach Hobson juggled his lineup in the scrim mage session. The Ducks opened with Slim Wintermute at center, John Dick and Laddie Gale at the forward position, and Matt Pava lunas and Bobby Anet at the guard posts. It wasn't long, however, before Bob Hardy had gone in at center, Ted Sarpola at a forward berth, anu Ford Mullen at a guard slot. At the end of practice, Coach Hobson commented on the work of Substitute Ted Sarpola. Sarpola, Hardy, and Mullen, all are ex pected to see plenty of action against the Beavers, and one or more may gain a starting berth. More practice is in line for the Webfoots before Friday’s crucial game. Until then Coach Hobson will leave nothing undone to pre ! vent a recurrence of last Satur 1 day’s catastrophe. I Frosh Hoopmen Prepare for final Rook Tilt Rivals Battle Here Thursday Night in Fourth of Series Coach John Warren’s Duckling hoopmen will write a finale to their basketball conquests Thurs day evening when they tangle with the Oregon State rooks in the last of a four-game “little civil war" series. To date the frosh have had a mediocre season and have lost three games to the Orange outfit. Honest John’s team, riddled by ineligibility, will make its last at tempt to wrest a victory from the high-riding rooks. For the first time since the portly mentor has taken over freshman coaching, has he had such a weak team. Len Gard, only member of the strong frosh aggregation that began the season, will be the key man in Thursday’s battle. To date, Gard, all-state for ward last year, has scored 147 points. Team Not Picked Coach Warren’s other choices are still unknown, alothugh he has intimated that the subs who sparked the last-half drive against the rooks last Friday stood a good chance of getting the starting nod. Burke “Whitcy” Austin, fast traveling little guard, was the sparkplug in the scoring spurt last week, along with Laverne Van Marter. Van Martcr played most of the game at the center berth and held down high-soring John Mandic, despite a height disad vantage. Bob Deverell, another pint-szied guard, played a good | defensive game and was given plaudits by Honest John.

Idaho Vandals Invade Eugene For Swim Meet Oregon Boys Face Moscow Mermen On Saturday An invasion by the Idaho Van dals Saturday, February 25 is stir ring excitement among the Oregon natators. The capabilities of the Inland Empire swimmers is some what of a mystery to Coaches Jim Reed and Ned Johns. But Coach Bob Tessier’s boys are reported to have potential power. The mainstay of the Idaho team is Dick Slade, who paced his fel lows to a 39 to 29 victory over the University of Montana earlier in the season. Slade is a consistent high point man in the 100-, 220-, and 440-yard free-style events. He has been clocked at 61.3 seconds in the century, and 2:51 in the 220. He receives able assistance from Walton Ulness. Vandals Are Tough Jack LaFavour and Irving Raum are Coach Tessier’s hopes in the fancy diving event. LaFavour did not attend school during the first semester. The Vandals will be rep resented in the 300-yard medley re lay by Jay Nungester, Doug Ed wards, and Glenn Hunter. This trio posted the time of 3:46.4 in the Idaho-Montana fray. Albert Dodds and Jimmy Johnston spe cialize in the 50-yard dash and the 100-yard free-style. Backstroke men are Norman Skjersa and Doug Edwards. Oregon's Jack Dallas and Ralph Lafferty will op pose Jensen and Hunter in the 200-yard breast stroke. Ulness, Skjerssa, Dodds, and Nungester will oppose the Duck 400-yard re lay squad, and Graham Walley carries the Vandal colors in the 440-vard free-stvle. Coaches Johns and Reed were pleased with the showing of their swimmers in California. Naming the highlights of the California trip, Johns said that the 440-yard free-style event was the feature of the Berkeley meet. Sherman Wetmore, who swam for Tom Starbuck, who was ill, was keep ing pace with a California man in second place. Nearing the end of the race, the Webfoot cut loose to pass the leading swimmer and win the event. Mentor Reed commented on the exciting dead-heat finish of Jim Mamie and Tom Starbuck in the 50-yard dash at San Jose. Jack Levy, Duck captain, showed talent in the backstroke. Victory Hopes Weighed The Oregon coaches regard chances of a win for their tankmen in the Northwest conference meet March 25 in Seattle as good. They will concentrate on improving their free-stylers, who, Coach Johns said, will defermine the likelihood of a Duck win. The next scheduled meet for the freshman swimmers is with the Oregon State Rooks, Saturday March 4, when the varsity also tangles with the Orangemen. Negotiations are being made with Bob Fraser, Palo Alto high school coach, for a telegraphic meet with his swimmers. Meets will also be scheduled with University high school and Eugene high school. Bailey's Loss Hurts | Duck Boxing Hopes i Mitters, Grapplers Face Oregon State There Saturday Oregon's winning hopes arc les sened for their meet with Oregon State boxers and wrestlers set for Saturday evening in the men's gymnasium in Corvallis, with Jim Bailey, rubbery-muscled heavy | weight, out of the boxing picture. Bailey was taken to Portland with a badly infected tooth. Herb Colwell, boxing and wrestling coach, has no man for the Im pound go. Webfoot chances in the wrest ling half of the double-feature are | considerably better. Both Oregon and Oregon State have defeated Linfield college by impressive scores.

Trio of Cindermen Depart for South Varoff, Storli, Dod To Compete in Two California Meets Setting their compass for San Francisco’s Treasure Island, scene of the Golden Gate world’s fair, three stellar Oregon trackmen shoved off for California at 6 o’clock this morning. Headed by Captain George Var off, former holder of both the out door and indoor vaulting records, and including Kirman Storli and Lloyd Dod, the three-man Web foot contingent will take part in two meets at the pageant site. Saturday, February 25, the Duck trackmen will compete in the Pa cific coast championship, and a week later, on Monday, they will face some of the best athletes in the nation in the Golden Gate Ex position invitational meet. The Webfoots will work out to day on the Redding high school field at Redding, California. Storli will enter the 1,000-yard run at both meets while Dod will enter the 60-yard hurdles. Dod, a transfer from San Mateo junior college, has looked good in early season workouts, according to Coach Bill Hayward.

Quinn (Betas) ..C. (Delts) Monahan S. Marsee (Fizzeds) .G. (Sigma Nu) Hodgen R. Hansen (Fizzeds) .G (SAM) Herzog By JACK LEE Read ’em and weep! Here they are. In the opinion of the Emerald intramural basketball reporters, Wayne Scott, Kerm Silverwood, “Wimpy" Quinn, Stu Mar see, and Rod Hansen stand out as the peer of the donut players in the "A” league and were chosen as the quintet to represent the all-star team. If these five men could be made into one team they would indeed constitute a powenui quintet, ims team posses height, a bunch of sharpshooters, and a powerful de fense. It was a very difficult job to select five players because there were many outstanding players participating in donut basketball. Wayne Scott, forward, was the pacemaker of the ATO quintet. He was a deadly shot from any angle on the court and was especially adept at making free throws. The Pi Kap game was where “Satchel” was at his peak. Kermit Silverwood, forward — Teaming with Rudy King, he made a combination that would be hard to beat in any league. These two players made up the bulwark of the Pi Kap quintet. Silverwood, by virtue of his showing in the ATO game won a first team berth. Wellington “Wimpy” Quinn, cen ter—The elongated center of the Beta quintet was especially strong off the backboards. After every scramble “Wimpy” would usually emerge with the ball. He also possessed a deadly shooting eye. j Stuart Marsee, left guard—The speedy red-thatchdtl guard of the Fizzeds was a bulwark on defense. Any man that Marsee was sup posed to check in a game really got checked. He also was able to 1 sink an occasional howitzer from j mid-court. Rod Hansen, right guard—Rod i started out the season playing “B” bail but was soon found to be of i “A” caliber. From the first of the season Hansen has never experi enced a game in which he had an j off night. If he was not scoring HELP THE FIGHTERS! Herb Colwell, boxing and wrestling coach, needs four cars to transport mitt and matmen to Corvallis Saturday afternoon and return Saturday evening. He will pay 3 cents per mile.
