Oregon’s 1940 varsity basketball
creation may not be as strong a*
its predecessor, the national cham
pion, and it may not repose on top
of the northern division heap, but
in the matter of dollars and cents
it is really having a season.
Before listing some figures on
the eastern trip which Hobby Hob
son and his Webfoots took in De
cember we’d like to point otit that
t they aren’t necessarily indicative
of the money making powers of
ALL Oregon teams for the year as
some of ’em turn in nice fat losses.
But they do show what they show,
and that is a picture of how Ore
gon was able to cash in on its na
tional championship team of last
winter.
Let's take it chronologically.
Until last season no Oregon bas
ketball team had made a tour east,
or for that matter had never made
any lengthy barnstorming tour.
And every pre-season basketball
schedule had been an expense or
loss to the athletic budget.
Next Time, How Much?
Came December of 1938 and the
tall fir Webfoots made their first
’ jaunt to Madison Square Garden,
playing almost ten games before
they got home. Their net profit
was $1851.12. Last month another
Oregon basketball team duplicated
the trip . . . this time as defend
ing national champions and we'll
give you a tabulation of their earn
ings.
The figures:
Income
Gaylords, New Orleans..$ 150.00
Long Island University
at New York .
Temple university
at Philadelphia. 3300.05
University' of Baltimore
at Baltimore . 750.00
Wayne University
At Detroit . 750.00
Purdue University
at Lafayette . 750.00
at Macomb.. 750.00
at Chicago . 750.00
Western Illinois Teachers
DePaul University
Augustana
at Rock Island . 750.00
Rubenstein Oregonians
at Portland . 361.14
Total .$8061.19
Expense
Transportation .$2571.74
Travel expense .$2129.56
Total .$4701.30
Net profit .$3359.89
So there you have it, the income,
expenses, and net profit on Ore
gon’s last eastern basketball in
vasion. One reason for the increase
of around 80 per cent fn profit the
1939 trip made over 1938 was a
juicy addition in guarantees. Ore
gon got only $500 per game in
guarantees on its first trip. But
with a national championship to
point to was able to ask for $750
per game and get it.
The Webfoots Capitalized
The above tabulation gives a
sum of $3300.05 for both the New
York and Philadelphia games. This
was because Long Island univer
sity and Temple were played on
doubleheader nights under one
promoter—Ned Irish. Incidentally,
the Webfoots are tentatively in
vited to make their third succes
sive Madison Square Garden ap
pearance next year. This, of
course, hinges on their showing in
the current northern division
scrap which has turned into a
four-way battle at the present
writing.
Buzzings from the Igloo . . .
Oregon's athletic department em
ployees are running around this
week with inquisitive looks on
their faces because they cant
seem to find the trophy Hobby's
basketball champions received last
year for grabbing the official
Western title.
Frankly, it's a trying, situation
for -McArthur court crew as every
body who chances by the front

Win Donut Hoop Contest
Scotch Terriers, Delts, Sigma Nu Club,
Lose to Respective Opponents in Tight
Games; One Goes Into Overtime Period
By BEKNIE ENGEE
Campbell coop's ball-handlers outran the Sigma Nu intramural
"A” entry to win by a score of 19 to 12 in yesterday’s donut basketball
clash.
“B” contests saw the Yeomen edge out Delta Tau Delta, 10 to 9,
and Theta Chi whip the Scotch Terriers, 11 to 9, in the season's first
[ overtime clash.
Except for a stretch in the second cpiartcr, the co-op squad led all
tnc way. Ren Rolic tallied 8 points
for the Campbell men while Stan
Short led the fratmen with two
baskets. The last quarter was more
or less of a free-for-all as both
sides clinched and dove. Score by
quarters: 4 to 3; 12 to 7; 16 to 11;
19 to 12. The count was first fig
ured at 17 to 11 but a recheck de
cided on the higher marks. Offi
cials: Ford, Tower.

Theta Chis Win
Phil Barrett was the man of the
hour as Theta Chi beat the Scotch
Terriers. Each team had seven
points as the regular game ended
so the referees decreed a two-min
utc overtime. Phil Luoto sank a
one-handed push from the side and
James Houck knotted the count at
9-all with a short one from in front
of the basket. Just as the horn
blew, Barrett tossed a howitzer
from mid-court to win the game.

By KEN CHRISTIANSON
At 9:10 a.m. today Coach Howard “Hobby" Hobson boards train
with eleven Oregon players for an all-important two-game series with
Coach Hec Edmundson's Washington basketball quintet Friday and
Saturday.
Hobson named h;s traveling squad yesterday. Captain John Dick,
Ted Sarpola, and Matt Pavalunas, seniors; Vic Townsend, Evert (Red)
McNeeley, Hank Anderson, Bill Borcher, and Earl Sandness, juniors;
Archie Marshik, Paul Jackson, and George (Porky) Andrews, sopho
mores, are the chosen eleven. Trainer Bob Officer and Lloyd Robbins,
stuaent manager, win aisu mane
the trip.
Promised Shakeup
Oregon’s coach had promised a
shakeup of the squad after the Ore
gon State game and has not been
able to decide on a starting lineup
yet for the Washington series. The
Webfoots are expected to arrive in
Seattle late this afternoon and to
register at the Edmond Meany
hotel on the Husky campus.
It is not known when the Ducks
will work out in the Puget Sound
city. Hobson is expected to decide

Whether the boys just couldn’t
get warmed up or whatever, it was
the Delts and the Yeomen took the
whole first quarter to run up a
score of one apiece. Jack Caughell
rang up 7 points for the indepen
dents while Jay Ambrose sparked
the loser’s floor play. Score by
quarters: 1 to 1, 3 to 3, 5 to 0.

that question enroute. They will
probably limber up Friday morning
before the first game in the Uni
versity pavilion, the place of the
series.
Running Expected
Basketball fans are expecting
another of those games in which
both teams drive, rim, pass, and
drive some more as was character
istic of last year’s Oregon-Wash
ington games.
If Oregon should win both games
from Washington then the Ducks
will have taken nine straight
games from the Huskies in the past
three years.
“I expect the usual fast-driving
game on the part of Washington.
It should be a tossup with the win
ner being whoever is ‘on’,” declared
Hobson before leaving.
It is not known who the Wash
ingtonians will start against the
Oregons, but it is thought, that
they will use the same lineup that
they used against Washington
State. That would put Captain Bill
McDonald at center, Harry Nelson
and Jack Voelker at guards, and
Bob Dorr, and either Dick Izzard
or Bob Lindh at forwards.
Amphibians Invited
For OSC Water Show
Amphibians arc leaving at 6 o’
clock tonight to invade the Oregon
State campus on special invitation
from the OSC Aquabats. The
Aquabats, OSC honorary compar
able to UO Amphibians, are pre
senting their annual water car
nival.
These groups always plan to
view the other’s water show, as a
friendly gesture and as an oppor
tunity to discover some new angles
in presenting such demonstrations.
Any Amphibian, pledge or ac
tive, who wishes to go should meet
at the Side at 6 o'clock this even
ing. If anyone can furnish a car
(passengers are bringing 25c for
gas and 15c admission) please call
Jean Romie, 2340, and let iher
know.

Duck Mermen
Prepare for
Husky Meet
. Mamie, Mallory,
Chung-Hoon Scrap
For Positions
By PAUL McCARTY
A heavy two-hour workout is
the schedule for the swimming
team today before the mermen
leave tomorrow noon for the Satur
day meet in Seattle with the Uni
versity of Washington.
A three-way battle, the feature
of this week’s practice, is being
waged between Jim Marnie, Har
old Chung-Hoon, and Pierce Mal
lory, freestyler, for the ninth team
position that will complete the
swimming squad.
Cutler Drills Men
Coach Russ Cutler timed the
three swimmers Tuesday and Wed
nesday but kept secret the results
and said he would not announce
the selected varsity man until this
afternoon.
Up to last night Cutler had not
definitely picked the men for the
events at the Washington meet.
Husky Coach Jack Torney has also
been holding time trials to deter
mine his swimmers in the relay
and medley events.
Most .encouraging to Cutler was
the physical condition of his swim
mers. Jack Dallas, breaststroker,
has a slight cold but nothing ser
ious. Sherm Wetmore and Jerry
MacDonald are in top shape, along
with Ralph Lafferty, Dick Smith,
Gerald Huestis, and the two divers,
A1 Sandner and Ralph Cathey.
uuei Expected.
A Cathey-Sandner duel is ex
pected in Seattle in the diving, as
Sandner, only a fair diver at the
opening <>f the season, has shown
such improvement that Cathey
barely edged him out last Saturday
in the varsity-frosli meet.
Question-mark of the University
of Washington team is the entry of
Dean McAdams, star halfback, in
the sprint events. McAdams, whoso
time of 24 seconds in the 50-yard
free style event is the fastest
northern division time for 75-foot
pools or over, reportedly dropped
out of school winter term to work.
Later reports from Seattle revealed
his registration in school but
doubted his turning out for swim
ming.
Other Husky swimmers are Gold
berg and Bockman, freestylcrs,
who were members of the winning
400-yard free style team at the
conference meet last season.

Eleanor Nelson had a rather
embarrassing experience last year
at Government Camp. She was
skiing along minding her own
business when she skidded on a
root and fell. She had to spend
the remainder of the weekend
wearing her ski jacket some
where where it was not original
ly intended to be worn.
While traveling down a very
steep hill, Phil Lowry started
dreaming of his Phi Beta Kappa
hopes (he was only 12 years old,
too) when he fell and severely
wrenched his knee when his air
tight ski harness refused to
yield. Phil has not been back for
more lately, but he did make
Phi Bet!
Don’t ever mix hard snow with
soft snow while skiing. Gordy Hoy
tried it last year with very dis
couraging results.
At last, here’s someone with a
really right idea. It's Stella Jean
Ingle, and her theory is, “I like
the hill by my house that’s kinda
gradual—I sit down on my skiis,
hang on tight, and have just a
super time!"
