DUCK TRACKS aiinmnmmMmiminniiiuitiMiiiHiiMimmimmiiinnmnmtiiimmmmimiiuuiDi By ELBERT HAWKINS Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald "Who will it be next," wails John Warren as he watches his frosh basketball quintet disinte grate piece by piece. The old in jury bugaboo which ruined Honest John's football team last fall stayed right with him and now it threatens the best Duckling bas ketball team of several seasons. It attacked the strongest part of Oregon’s frosh team, the back court combination of John Tuttle y and Don Kirsch. John broke a blood vessel in his left leg last week, and Don followed suit just a couple of nights ago by hurting his right foot so badly that they had to take an X-ray to determ ine whether he had a broken bone. Which leaves John moaning, "What will I do for guards, I've only got one other small boy— Reynolds—who will it be?” Only consolation for Duckling fans is the comfortable fact that they don’t open that all-important four game series against the Oregon State Rooks until early in Febru ary. It allows the boys some time to recover. Second Only To . . . Kirsch and Tuttle form the best yearling guard combination since four years ago when Bobby Anet and Wally Johansen scintillated on their first University of Oregon team. John was quoted as saying that the Kirsch-Tuttle duo is as good at this point as Wally and Bobby were when they were fresh men. He’d like to qualify that a bit by saying they are “in some phases of the game.” The Duckling pair never played together in high school but they’re already becoming synchronized to a point beyond what the average pair wrould. They’re full of praise for the other, and John expects ’em to go far together. Kirsch looks like a good double for Anet in build and in playing style, and he wears Bobby’s No. 20. Tuttle is built more like Jo hansen and quite naturally wears Wally's No. 32. So maybe this school will be seeing four more great years of that hard-driving, closely synchronized No. 20 and No. 32 combination. They’re Both Infielders Incidentally, they’re both top notch baseball inficlders, which made Honest John remark yes terday about how natural it would be for them to sail right into base ball in the spring after their hoop season--Tuttle at shortstop, and Kirsch at second base. Funny thing about these injur ies. The portly frosh coach claims they have a knack of hitting him in pairs. They Inure a habit of com ing along just after he’s found two lads who work well together and put both on the shelf. Take football, for instance. "One of the best left half and right half combinations I ever had,” says Honest John, "was Caven and Dy er—yet I could never get them to gether at the same time.” This wras on the Duckling team of 1938 when one of the duo always managed to be on the mend when he was most needed. “I did get era together once, admits Skipper Warren, “Dyer sailed around end on a play good for about 35 yards . . . and had to be carried out of the game . . . Caven followed him to the shelf only a play or so later.’’ It'll Be a Scrap Will the Beavers run tonight? That seems to be a stock question at the zero hour of every hoop game between Oregon and Oregon State. Oregon will run. yes. The Webfoots fast break just as much as any defense they boom into will allow. But the Stater's . . . sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t. Slats Gill is spoken of as an advocate of the percentage style or slow break, which is the fast break’s worst enemy. But Gill claims to adapt his type of ball to the material and what he's play ing against, so take your choice. The Beavers ran against Idaho, besides beating the Vandals down with their footballish tactics, but you don't often fight fire with fire or try to beat a champ at his own game so we're expecting the Bea vers to stick pretty close to their percentage style of ball and not try to out gallop Hobby's crew.

No Defeats In Northern Division Play By KEN CHRISTIANSON It's a natural! Oregon’s basketball team plays Oregon State's hoopers to night in McArthur court at 8 p.m. Both teams stand at the top of the northern division play by virtue of straight victories over Idaho. Both teams split on their road trip—Oregon winning and los ing five on the Madison Square jaunt, and Oregon State winning and losing three on the Rocky Mountain tour. The Beavers also split with Michigan State’s Spar tans in Astoria. In 'beating Idaho’s Vandals, Ore gon State posted a 16-point margin in the two bruising games. The concensus is that the Orange play ers softened the Vandals some what for the two games here. Ore gon downed Idaho with a 22-point victory margin in the two tilts. Each Defeats Idaho Oregon State battered Forrest Twogood’s Idahoans 48 to 36 and 42 to 38 Friday and Saturday : nights. Coach Hobby Hobson’s Ducks sent the Vandals home to Moscow suffering from acute 44 i to 32 and 46 to 36 defeats Monday j and Tuesday. Hobson paid the Beavers a visit during the OSC-Idaho series to I look over the new fast-break style of play recently employed by the Orange. Both Hobson and his play I ers came back from Corvallis with ; woeful tales of the Beaver rugged j (to the point of roughness) play I and of their power under the back j boards. Backboard play is a department j in which the Webfoots have been j woefully weak during the pre-sea | son games and the Idaho series. Gill Wrings Hands Anything for courtesy’s sake, so Gill viewed the Oregon-Idalio series in Eugene and went back to Cor vallis moaning of Oregon's 'fast break. Gill claims the Duck attack is faster, has better shooting, and has better defense than that used last year by the Webfoot national champs. Idaho came to Eugene with stories of the Beavers’ bruising play, but went away in admiration of Oregon’s driving play and little Paul "Stonewall” Jackson. Vandal players’ advice to the Ducks con sisted in part of "shoot and then duck.” Idaho Admires Tivogie’s men also claimed that Jacksop was the fastest thing they had ever seen on a basketball court. They explained that when Jackson came into the game they seemed to "crack.” Both Gill and Hobson fear to night’s game as evinced by the close veil of secrecy held over the men’s gymnasium in Corvallis and over McArthur court. It is known, however, that Gill has something new in offensive plays to squeeze through the tight zone defense employed by the Orc gons. New Plays Not to be outdone, Hobson has been cooking up something potent in the way of new plays to serve the hungry Beaver. Gill’s probable starters are Tony Romano and John Mandic at. for wards, Frank Mandic at center, and Valenti and Hunter at guards. thriller . . . says Hank about the Beaver-Webfoot grid feud: "Four years in a row—that hurts me.” . . . the entire Emerald sports staff adds a hearty "second the motion” ■ • . Big Hank is keeping in shape by officiating for Rollie Dickie's donut basketball program. Stitt, Jack Mulder, and Clayton Shaw are expected to see first line reserve duty. In the Webfoot camp it is thought that Hobson will start Sar pola and Evert “Red” McNeeley at j forwards, John Dick at center, and Townsend and Pavalunas at guards. Hobby also has several first line reserves in Archie Mar shik, Paul Jackson, George “Porky" Andrews, and Hank An i derson. -- Marksman Ted Sarpola .. . two year veteran Oregon forward, the Wcbfoot is ready for tonight’s game against Oregon State.

Four Webfoots were promi nent among the 15 individuals mentioned as high scorers, and one Webfoot, Vic “Slick” Townsend, had the enviable distinction of be ing the only basketeer of the group without a personal foul to his dis credit. Leading the Webfoot brigade was the whirling dervish of Ore gon basketball, Ted Sarpola, whose 10 field goals in two games earned him fourth place in total points scored, and runner-up spot in av erage points tallied per game. Kamey Leads Roy Ramey, diminutive Idaho forward, drew first blood in the race for northern division scoring honors, held fop the past two years by Laddie Gale, when he bucketed 35 points in four games. Next in the chase for honors was Otis Hil ton, a team mate, who tallied 28 points, 12 of them on free throws. However, Paul “Bunyan” Linde man of Washington State had the best average per game, with 24 points in two starts. This is slight ly above the average needed to better the conference 16-game rec ord now held by Wally Palmberg of Oregon State.

TIFFANY DAVIS 8th aud WILLAMETTE '*++++++++ ttltt HH -H -M I U tltH t.H » Hl.t.I.f.t K+d+.+d i Independent Girls Expected To Repeat Basketball Wins , Girls' intramural basketball contests this year should be very fast and snappy with the competition offered by returning veterans and a new crop of athletes from the freshman class. Last year’s league winners were the Lucky Aces, Hendricks hall, and a team from the combined co-ops in leagues A, B, and C respec 1 tively, and, with the exception of the Lucky Aces who have disbanded, they should be near me lop again this year. , At the close of the season last February, the individual scoring ! chart showed Lois Nielson of the Orides at the top with an over whelming lead of a 15.6 average ; of points for five games. Lois is not in school this year, but Hazel Oldfield, who was third in the scor i ing list, is now playing for the ■ Orides and will probably be one of ; | the biggest threats to Lois' record. ' I “Angie" Adlesich who was second 1 | high scorer is riot here either but she is being replaced by her sister, “Maggie," who is said to be just as 1 good. The Tri Delta lost Hazel Smith, fourth on the scoring list, by graduation but Hope Dondero from the Co-op team; Robin Nelson, Chi Omega; Genevieve Casey, Kappa; Ethel Dixon, Hendricks hall; and Pauline Johnson, Susan Campbell hall; all in order of their scoring average, are on the campus and “going strong" from all reports. Only two of the All-Star hoop team which consisted of Hazel Old field, Lucky Aces; Lois Nielson,. Orides; and Hope Dondero, Co-op; as forwards, and Dorothy Retz laff, Co-op; Beverly Young, Chi Omega, and Mildred Snyder, Co-op at guards will not be back to play this season. Those lost were Bev erly Young who graduated last spring, and Lois Nielson who was married this summer. Freshmen Shine With the unusual talent shown by the freshmen who turned out for volleyball, there should be some one to challenge last year’s record set by Lois Nielson who scored 31 points in a single game, which was more than that of any other league forward and more than the final score of many of the games. Some of the freshmen who will bear watching are Jane McCurdy, Mary Jane Ford, Kay Thompson, Gloria Wadsworth, who was a member of last year’s Linn county championship team, Mary Louise Vincent and Mary Ellen Smith both from St. Helen’s hall.
