Fast break versus percentage
basketball (the Oregon State
style)?
Every Oregon State - Oregon
hoop series brings out the argu
ments as to the merits of each anil
to which is the better. No defin
ite barometer has ever l>een set
up . . . that’s why the pros and
cons fly perennially.
In the heyday of Oregon State
basketball, the era that saw such
Orange greats as Ed Lewis, Wally
Falmberg, Bob Bergstrom, George
Hibbard, and Red McDonald romp
on northern division courts, many
fans were converted to the slow
break.
But then along came a guy
named Howard Hobson with a
theory that the way to win hoop
games was to run the other team
into the ground, as you might say.
Hobby took over the coaching
reins at Oregon in the fall of 1935,
and four years later piloted his
Webfoots to a national champion
ship. His success was nothing
short of phenomenal.
Exhibits A and B
True, Hobby had good material
. . . you have to have to win ball
games. But, using Coach Hobby’s
four years at Oregon, as a yard
stick for measuring the effective
ness of fast break against slow
stuff, you find the former much
more potent.
Exhibit A: In four years, Hob
son-coached teams have won 11
games from Oregon State and
Slats Gill, while losing only five.
Exhibit B: Since 1928, the year
Slats Gill made his bow at Oregon
State, the Ducks, never very cau
tious outfits, have captured 24 of
42 contests with the Orangemen.
Laugh it off if you will, but re
member that even Slats Gill’s
tfeams are galloping these days . . .
a bit of an indication of the trend
basketball in the northwest has
taken.
Oregons at Seattle
Seattle will be a mecca for Ore
gon athletic teams next weekend
with both Hobson’s hoopers and
Russ Cutler’s powerful mermen
invading the Puget Sound city.
On parade in the swim events
will be three Webfoot paddlcrs
who are just about the west’s tops.
Last year Sherm Wctmore, back
stroker, and Jack Dallas, breast
stroker, cracked coast records
nearly every time they leaped into
the water.
The third boy Coach Cutler is
counting upon for some new marks
is Free-styler Jefry Macdonald,
sophomore sensation, who had no
peer in intramural competition
last year and is going great at
present.
Oliver Comes Home

Townsend used three of his five
field goals in Oregon's rocky first
j half. He potted two long shots at
j the very start on perfect swishes
; through the hemp as Oregon took
a 4 to 0 lead after one minute and
a half.
Can’t Hit It
Then for 17 and one-half minutes
Oregon’s offense went completely
dead without poking one field goal
through the basket. Oregon State
clearly dominated that stretch al
though Hobby’s boys missed a
flock of short shots which were
: usually rushed. Oregon collected a
few free throws as the game moved
along and when the field goal
drought ended after 19 minutes of
• play trailed 23 to 10. Four minutes
before that it was Oregon Stale
21 and Oregon 6. For a stretch of
over 11 minutes from the four
; minute mark Oregon failed to get
a point.
Townsend swished in another
howitzer, and Matt Pavalunas
duplicated it just before the half
J ended to cut the Beaver lead to
| nine points at 23 to 14.
The rivals went into the second
half fighting like grim death and
checking in their usual tight man
ner. It was an Oregon crew fight
ing to catch up but never getting
quite close enough to a stubborn
gang of Orangemen.
John Dick Scores
John Dick gave Oregon fans, a
! lot to holler about by opening the
| second half with two rapid-fire
: field goals. He got No. 1 in less
than half of minute with a right
hander from the keyhole and fol
lowed with a rebound bucket be
fore the two-minute mark. The
score was 23 to 18 and the Beav
ers called time out.
Halfway through the second half
Valenti committed his fourth per
sonal foul on Townsend and the
Oregon guard converted to make
the score 21 to 27, the Staters still
holding _ their narrow lead. The
Beavers got a bucket but Vic
matched it on a lay-in at the 12
minute mark, and it was his shot
from close in less than three min
utes from the end that cut Ore
gon State’s lead to 32-28 and drove
the Igloo's crowd mad. From then
until the finish, spectators spent
most of the time on their feet.
With barely over 60 seconds to
go, Oregon still trailed by four
points, 33 to 29. Then came a steal
by Clayton Shaw, reserve guard,
who dribbled half the length of the
court to make it 35 to 29, and put
Oregon State safely out ahead.
Townsend converted two free
throws in the last ten seconds and
that ended it.
Oregon cast off for 58 field shots
during the game, hitting nine,
while the winners tossed only 35
times to get their 13 field goals.

His Team Lost
Coach Hobby Hobson still smiles a bit despite Oregon’s 35 to 31
defeat, by Oregon State last night. Maybe it is because three games
with the Beavers are still on tap.

Has anybody here seen Kelly—Kelly the man in reverse gear?
i Maury Kelly, a sizeable chunk of SAE goodnatured muscle, was so
j confident in his house's intramural basketball game yesterday with
the Zeta hall five that he pulled a Corrigan and started the scoring for
the hall team. He was getting hot when he discovered that lie was
aiming at the wrong hoop.
Whether this mistake cast a pall on their playing or not, the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon crew was blasted
off the courts by the scrappy hall
outfit, the dorm boys coming out
20 to 4 victors.

Tn the day’s other games, Alpha

Twenty Prospects
Through Paces
The University of Oregon ski
team is rapidly assuming man
sized proportions, and the squad -
now in its second' year of exist
ence—will soon become a member
of the Pacific Northwestern Ski
association, it was disclosed yes
terday by Rollie Dickie, coach.
Membership in the association
will allow Webfoot skiers to be
automatically eligible to compete
in the various tournaments spon
sored by the P.N.S.A., and the
skiing schedule will be strength
ened and supplemented each year.
Terry and Hagan
Outstanding prospects for the
team are two freshmen who have
been skiing competitively for sev
eral years, Tom Terry of Portland
and Bert Hagan of Bend. Terry
received the Berger Underdahi
trophy last year as the state’s out
standing junior skier.
Other leading candidates include
four members of last year’s team,
George Hoffman of Portland, Ed
Wallism of San Francisco, Phil
Bladine of McMinnville, and Hank
Evans of Chiloquin. The remain
der of the squad includes:
Fred Ziegler^ Jack Silva, A1 Jen
sen, Lloyd Tonsing, Tom Baldwin,
Larry Mariner, Oliver Stendal,
Boyd Copenhaver, all of Portland;
John Skillern, Gerald Johnson, of
Eugene; Ken Harquail, Bend; Ver
lin Wolfe, Corvallis; Glen Westfall,
Salem.
Ski Club Will Elect
Ofiicers lor Year
There will be an important
meeting of the ski club on Tues
day night at 7:15 in 105 Com
merce. The principle business of
the meeting is to elect officers for
the coming year.
Last year’s activities, which in
cluded an overnight outing at
Hand lake, and many daily trips
to the mountains on weekends,
will be reviewed and plans for this
season will be lined up. Last year
the ski enthusiasts stayed at the
Obsidian cabins on their over
night trips and plans arc being
made to have more of these out
ings this year.
“The ski club is primarily de
signed for novices and those in
terested in skiing, including both
girls and boys,’’ Norm Holt, last
year’s president, said today. Ski
ing conditions are excellent, he
said, and with the new warming
shelter and Ed Thurston’s ski
tow, at Hand lake, everything is
set for a successful season.
NOTICE
Senior swimming manager
Jim Seldcrs announced last night
that he had an opening for one
sophomore manager and asks
that all interested candidates re
port to him at the pool today at
4:30 p.m.
Pro Star Now
Slim Wintermute, Oregon’s all- 1
American center last year, is now 1
the leading scorer in liis league,
according to reports from the, mid
west. Slim is with Detroit.
Vaughn Corleg
Prags for Boxers
“Heaven send me half a box
ing team,” breathes Coach Vaughn
Corley, who is trying to mold an
efficient varsity boxing team with
out a single flyweight, feather
weight, or bantamweight to fight
in the lower-weight brackets.
Corley is literally swamped with
i good prospects in the upper
weights but the roster reveals a
complete absence of J18, 12(5, or
135-pounders. In the 145-pound
class, Martin Schedler is the sole
representative.
Eleven more pugilists began
workouts in hopes of being picked
to participate in the smoker to be
held Wednesday, January 24, at ;
7:30 at McArthur court. Six of the
eleven were members of either the
varsity or freshman grid teams,
making a total of twelve football
ers out for positions on the team.
Coach Corley would like any
man, experienced or not, who
would like a chance to fight in the
smoker, to report immediately to
him at 4 o’clock in the boxing
room of the men's gym.

Meet With Huskies
By PAUL MeCARTY
In preparation for the meet, January 20, against the favored Uni
,-crsity of Washington swimming team. Coach Russ Cutler yesterday
>pened intensive plans for his team’s invasion of Seattle.
“We ran off some time trials, which were only fair, yesterday
uuf we will hold a varsity-frosh meet Saturday. Saturday's inter-team
contest will be held as a regular meet," said Cutler.
rne strong wasmngton squad,
cspected by Cutler as the defend
ng champion favored to retain its
itle, has one of its most powerful
earns in its history. Graduation
ook only three “point-earning’'
eon, Gene Caddy, Personette, and
Joskins, steady varsity perform
rs last season.
Huskies Are Strong
Coach Jack Torney's team re
vived a boost this season in the
brm of some first year varsity
nen, up from last year’s powerful
teshman team, all of which gives
he Huskies a better team than
heir 1939 champion.
Expected to lead the Huskies is
Sockman, winner last year at the
lorthern division meet of the 220
md 440-yard free style events.
Back in school again this term
ifter rumors had him dropping
nit winter term is big Dean Mc
\dams, Washington’s all-coast
uilfback who won the 50-yard
roe style northern division title
ast year and was a member of
lie conference's winning 440-relay
squad.
Some Good Boys
Coach Torney’s Bockman, Mc
\dams, and Goldberg top the ar
•ay of veterans who “hope to use
Oregon’s boys as stepping stones
o the northern division champion
ship.”
Oregon has its individual stars,
always good for points, but lacks
the team strength so characteris
tic of Husky swim squads.
Oregon's Cutler figures Wash
ington to be the 1940 champions
on paper, but "Oregon is gunning
for a position as title trouble
shooter.”
The Webfoot 1940 swim sched
ule includes meets, other than
that with Washington, with Uni
versity of Idaho, Washington
State college, University of Cali
fornia, Stanford, Olympic club of
San Francisco, and two with Ore- j
gon State.
