U DUCK TRACKS ■tuuiimniimmiiiiiiiiMiiiimiimHiimimniiHmiimimiHmiiiniiiiuiimiuumuini lty GEORGE PASERO Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald If’8 Friday night. Oregon is playing Washington at Seattle in the opener of a two-game series that may have a direct bearing on the northern division hoop fitle chase. Mr. Average Eugene Fan hur ries to his den, pulls up a chair, flicks on his radio, grabs his pipe and prepares to enjoy a good game. It’s a grand feeling, V011 The radio warms up, and Mr. Fan turns the dial to KORE (Pushes the button, if you like).' Music pours forth. “What, no game?” bellows Gus Fan (From here on we'll just call him Gus to facilitate matters.) “Who the heck is broadcasting it. Somebody’s gotta. Quick, where's the paper? Oh, only sta tion listing it is a Seattle one, 1120 kilocycles.” The worried look1 leaves Gus’ face and tunes in to the Puget Sound city. But right here is the rub. Now, ! Gus, like so many other fans, has ! only a five-tube set which does all! right for picking up Eugene, Salt i Lake City, California, and even! * Portland. Seattle, however, is a "horse of a different color. For some reason, probably because of broken waves, stations of this city are hard to dial in. Nothing Worse Well, getting back to Gus. He pours on the volume, and docs pick up the game, or what he thinks is the game. But along with it he gets some dame who thinks she’s a “catch” for the Metropoli tan opera, a brass band that does a poor job of Artie Shaw-ing, and a couple of hockey games. Well, TJownsend whips one through, says the announcer. Ore gon is hot. Townsend cans anoth er. Then the soprano hits a high C. Out of nowhere comes the blare of a cornet. Someone gives the puck a jab with a hockey stick. Then Townsend misses one. What a ball game! Come on Seabiscuit, “cut the rug, chillun,” Shoot, Townsend.' What a mess! Now there are worse things in this world for Gus than a jumbled ball game, but on this particular night Gus can’t think of them. It’s a good thing that Monday brings a new week and a calm, sane approach once again. But getting back to Gus. He’s regusted. Vociferates a bit and then, “Heck with it, I’m going to the show.” A Few Facts So, for you fans who couldn’t get the game Friday and didn’t even bother to tune in Saturday, here are a few fac’s, gathered from McArthur court, from Coach Hobson, and from members of the swimming team: Oregon's “little” team of Red McNeeley, Ted Sarpola, John Dick, Matt Pavalunas, and Vic Town send opened the Friday night con test, a tough ball game, the Ducks 'A losing 39 to 31. Saturday night Coach Hobson completely revamped his lineup, starting Archie Marshik, six-seven center, and Hank Anderson, six seven forward. John Dick, regular center, moved back to his old for ward spot, and Porky Andrews, husky ex-footballer, ousted Matt Pavalunas at guard. This lineup clicked and how! The Ducks won 47 to 32, leading at halftime, 27 to 14 . . . Town send wras top man with 13 points, followed by Dick with 12, Ander son with 9, and Marshik with 7. . . Marshik played the whole game and turned in a fine performance at the boards, according to Coach Hobson. Big Hank Connects Anderson, too, looked good . . . until he became too tired . . . Hank ^ scored four field goals in the first half . . . Matt Pavalunas s'ill has n’t hit his stride, and neither has Ted Sarpola . . .

Washington won Friday night to break a seven-game Oregon jinx. The win Saturday put the Ducks in a tie with Washington State for second place. The Duck starters, John Dick, Hank Anderson, Archie Marshik, Vic Townsend, and George An drews, made a combination that Coach “Hobby” Hobson had not even used in practice, much less in a game. Townsend was high scor er with 13 points. Dick trod on his heels with 12. With his two six foot seven and one six foot four giants in the game, Hobson had a six foot three plus height average, his tallest team yet fielded. Dong Arms Help The long arms of Dick, Marshik, and Anderson told the story on rebound shots and taking the ball off the backboard. Oregon took an early lead on a basket by Dick. The Huskies tied the count, but the Webfoots pulled away and were never headed. Oregon led 27 to 14 at the half time intermission and opened up with more for a 17-point margin early in the second period. Wash ington began to shoot wildly late in the game. The towering Ducks arrived on the Oregon campus Sunday, but did not practice till last night. Hobson shoved his charges through a fast intersquad practice and worked on plays for the visiting Huskies. Washington is scheduled to re pay the visit Friday and Saturday for the feature of the annual "Dad’s Day” celebration.

Duck Swimmers Sink Huskies Oregon Trips Titlists, 44-32 Macdonald, Dallas, Wetmore Star in Washington Meet By PAUL McCARTY Fifteen hundred excited swim fans watched the University of Oregon upset the Washington Huskies Saturday night 44 to 32 in aThrill packed exhibition of speed and form. The underdog Webfoot swimmers, who were given little ; chance to defeat the defending Washington champions, crawled out of the Seattle tank with six firsts out of nine events. Jack Dallas, Oregon's record I breaking junior, took his special event, the 200-yard backstroke, with a 30-foot lead over Ralph Laffer ty, another Oregon swim mer. Time for Dallas was 2:34.3. A cold prevented him from mak ing better time. Macdonald Wins Twice Jerry Macdonald, whom Seattle described as the big sophomore prospect of intramural fame, came through with wins in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events. The en j tire Oregon swimming team was rooting for Macdonald in this race, but no one was* more enthusiastic in their yelling than Jerry's par ents who were in the stands. Oregon placed one-two in (ho 150-yard backstroke, with Sherm Wetmore, who along with Dallas is the other* half of the Long Beach twins, finishing ahead of teammate Gerald Hucstis, little Eugene sophomore.

Boxing Smoker for Wednesday Night John. “Buck” Berry, halfback on Oregon’s football team will share the limelight with Jim Manley Wednesday night when the two meet in the main event of a 16-bout program of boxing and wrestling put on by the varsity fighting forces. Another match that promises thrills will be the Pete Riley-Mar tin Schedler bout. Riley is ineligible for the varsity, having transferred from Oregon State last fall, so the outcome will have no bearing on the team selection. Schedler is a clever boxer and expects to give Riley plenty of trouble with his lashing left jab. Jim Harris, an other footballer, will see action against G. A. Smith in the 167 pound class. Jack Fruit is slated to try out his damaging body punches against Warren Phillips. Other matches are: 130 lbs. Dick Jackson vs. Duke Warner; 155 lbs.—Bob Klavelle vs. Wally Johnson; 150 lbs.—Ken Pow er vs. Herb Anderson; heavyweight —Hank Greenberg vs. R. C. Ash com. Admission will be granted to student body card holders.

Los Angeles Gets Mallory By GEORGE PASERO Elmer (Mai) Mallory, star soph omore shortstop of Oregon’s 1939 northern division baseball cham pions, yesterday announced that he had signed a contract to play professional baseball for the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific coast league. Mallory, the fifth member of Coach Howard Hobson’s flashy champs to join the pro ranks, is the second Duck tosser to sign up without completing his collegiate eligibility. Infielders Ford Mullen and Gale (Busher) Smith and Pitcher Bob Hardy, seniors, all penned Detroit Tiger contracts last spring. Wel lington (Wimpy) Quinn, a junior and captain-elect of the 1940 team, became a regular third baseman of Bob Brown's Vancouver club of the Western International league. Best Since Gordon Considered the finest shortstop prospect since Joe Gordon cavort ed on the Webfoot diamond, Mal lory was signed by Dutch Ruether, Chicago Cub and Angel scout. He is to receive a $1,000 bonus when he reports to Los Angeles for spring training next month. A Junction City youth, Mallory has played a year for Eugene in the Oregon State league, a season with John Warren’s frosh club, and another on the Hobson varsity. Two summers he spent at Payette, Idaho, starring in the fast Idaho semi-pro league. At Payette last season, he hit .373. He is 19 years old, five feet, eight inches tall, and weighs 165 pounds.
