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 Punctuating the pre-game calm at McArthur court yesterday af ternoon : Coach Tex Oliver back from the South, his voice echoing through the halls . . . The Oregon mentor talking to Eill Hayward, Ansc Cornell, and Frankie Emmons, Webfoot Shrine game star. Bob Officer having a big time . . . reason was that a representa tive of a chemical company was on hand with technicolor motion pictures of the coaches convention at Los Angeles early this month, of the Pasadena rose parade, of Fresno State and College, of the Pacific, and last but not least of Karl Erickson, Northwestern XT. trainer giving a demonstration of how taping should be done and why . . . Bob gathered a group of PE majors around to get an eyeful ... a. real treat. Little Bob Patrick, ex-Oregon State footballer and now of Ha waii, talking to Ted Gebhardt . . . Patrick is offering northwest sen ior players a chance to go to Ha waii next fall. Sprinter Jim Buck telling every one of his engagement and offer ing to bet he would not have a date on the campus this fall . . . the gild, evidently, isn’t here. Trackmen working out . . . bas ketball, football, and other sports just don't exist for them. The Scribes’ intramural B league entry wall practice today at the men's gym at 1:30.

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. Per. 1.000 .667 .500 .500 .000 kjiiiu uitil y .

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.

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. |MI!IIU!lillHi:IBIIIilHI!illlillHII!WlimiilHI!!||B||!g » OREGON « * LOGANBERRY " * WINE “ ■ ^ I; m Pts. ....... 29c | ■ 5ths . . . • . . 50c I' N 1/2 gals. . . . $1.10 | Hi R y BELL’S BASKET GROG. ■ | i I K. lOtli I’li. 77U I yHi!iflEiHiiiuaiiai|iiiaiiiiHi!iiiBiii>niimii!!Hii!l< Leap year comes Once in every four years. | He’ll Admire Your 1 Neatness 1 l Eugene Laundry | Phone 123 | Bandbox Cleaners Phone 398 Duck Mermen Eye 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.
