DUCK TRACKS ■mniinmimiiniimimiimnmimmiiimiiiiMinimiimiimiimiiiniiiiiimiiiimuun By ELBERT HAWKINS Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald Looks like Oregon’s basketeers have gone out and started a hex of their own on Kee Edmundson’s Washington quintets now that the Webfoot football jinx of over half a decade over Husky teams is gradually growing dead. Only high sign Tex Oliver’s football boys can claim now is the unaltered fact that they always play a terrific game against Washington. . . . Their defeat in Seattle on Thanks giving day sort of swept away any football winning jinx. But actual basketball figures show that Friday's and Saturday's Oregon victories over Washington’s rangy hoop team made it 10 out of 11 during the last three years for Coach Hobby over Hec Edmond son. That’s quite something to jot down in your notebook for both teams play the same basketball system, the blazing fast break type of offense which builds its point totals at a rapid clip by attempt ing to beat the defense down the court. Aside from Washington’s first night win over Oregon in Seattle just over a week ago, the last Husky win over Oregon in basketball was three years ago when Bobby Anet, Wally Johansen, Slim Wintermute, Laddie Gale, and company dropped another “first nighter” on the Seattle Pavilion's dead mapleboards. A Few More Bulls-Eyes Ask Coach Hobson what one factor was more responsible than any other for Oregon’s wins No. 9 and No. 10 of that long string (Friday and Saturday nights) and he’ll tell you it was shooting. What else could it be? The two clubs went out there and beat a tattoo on McArthur court’s glassboards to the tune of around 145 shots both nights and shot reasonably close to the same number of times. It was 73 to 72 Friday. The result or difference between the clubs can be shown in their shooting percentages which were: Ore. Wash. First game .301 .208 Second game .333 .269 Those Webfoots obviously just out-pitched Hec Edmundson's smooth-working boys. Don't get the idea, however, that Oregon’s only'superiority in that colorful series was on shooting. Figures kept by the Webfoot athletic man agers reveal that Hobby's Ducks controlled the ball off the offensive and defensive backboards approxi mately two-thirds of the time dur ing both games. Oregon had a higher per cent of these in Friday night’s 53 to 44 victory, in which Washington never got ahead, than in Saturday's surprising game which saw the home club come from a 15-point deficit to win. Hec’s Ball Hawkers There’s one score the Oregon's didn't dominate, and that was bail hawking, by admission of Coach Hobson himself. “They’re the best ball hawking team I’ve seen this year. . . . They out ball hawked Oregon all four times this year.” Ball hawking, in case you won dered, is that art of hanging on to the ball without fumbling on those fast breaks, and stealing it from the enemy when they get careless. Hec Edmundson's efficient Husk ies lost possession of the ball only ONCE in piling up their huge first half lead over Oregon Saturday. And in the second half when the Ducks were coming from behind Washington still lost it only six or seven times. Credit little Paul Jackson with being the spark which set off Ore gon's big rally from being behind (Please turn to f'jgc Sour) Pulchritude “Of all places 1 have seen for the gathering of perfect speci mens of pulchritude none can exeell Hersh Taylor’s place on the corner. It is strange how some girls who posses all the qualities of loveliness and beau ty can effect boys who appre ciate beauty when they see it. For instance, a lovely girl never enters that place without some forlorn boy coming to me im mediately and inqyiring who she might be. My answer to this question is always, “Isn’t she lovely? But you find out for yourself who she is'.’’ Taylor’s Ducks Win Two Straight From Washington 1 Webfoots Vanquish Husky Hoop Quintet By KEN CHRISTIANSON Oregon's 50 to 43 victory over Washington’s basketball team Satur day night put the Ducks one game behind Oregon State for the lead of northern division play. Pared by the great defensive play and 22 points of one man, Captain John Dick, the Webfoots made up a 14-point deficit to post a seven point victory margin themselves. The win made it three games out of Guard essays Ken Davidson, Stanford guard, is one of the chief reasons for the Indian hold on second place in the southern division race for coast conference superiority. jOSC Dumps Washington Oregon State's Beaver basketball team moved to a game and a half lead in tho northwest conference race last night with 15-26 win over the University of Washington Huskies.

Led by Rusty Thomlinson, the University House Co-op hoop team smashed through with a 16 to 7 win over the Alpha Gam Sextet last night. Despite the high score it was a surprisingly slow game dur ing the first period, with the Co-op leading 6-5 at half-time. During the second period the Co-op came back scoring 10 points to Alpha Gam's 2. Thomlinson, senior in PE, tallied 12 of the Co j op's 16 points and was high point ' man for the game.

That is —for the first 10 minutes—then they flashed back into form and proceeded to close up the gap. Washington out-passed, out-charged, and out-shot Oregon to gain a commanding 20 to 6 lead. Rally Started Then Hobson shoved in veteran Matt Pavalunas and Sophomore Paul Jackson who started a rally. Pavalunas showed his ball-of-fire action which made him a favorite last year when he was pressing all coast Wally Johansen for a start ing berth. Remindful of the first four min utes of the second half of last year’s game when 21 points were scored was the first minute and fifty seconds of second half of Saturday’s game when 11 points were tossed in. With Hank Anderson and Dick pouring in points, Washington’s lead was soon erased. Bob Lindh, the fastest man Coach Hec Ed mundson has ever coached, fouled out and the Huskies lost half of their drive. Game Tied Oregon tied the game three times, 32, 34, and 38-all and then by playing cautious ball built up to a seven-point lead. Dick apparently not satisfied with 20 points Friday night, took scoring honors with eight field goals and four free throws for 22 points. This places Dick in a posi tion to crack Wally Palmbcrg’s northern division scoring record. Laddie Gale tied the 187 point mark last year. Dick has 95 points in seven games. He needs an average of 10.2 points in each of the com ing nine games. Hobson scrimmaged his seconds against the high-flying freshmen last night to build them up for the Oregon State game to be played Saturday in Corvallis. Dick, An derson, Archie Marshik, and Vic Townsend were dressed in street clothes and did not practice. Summary: Oregon (50) Anderson, f Marshik, f ... Dick, c . Townsend, g Andrews, g Sarpola, f ....

Frosh Drop Club Five; Meet Staters Next Ducklings Win j From Club Hoop Quintet High-Flying Frosh Score Eleventh Win of Season By BILL PHELPS John Warren's galloping frosh1 continued their point - scoring j spree here Saturday, when they romped over Multnomah club's In termediate five, 49 to 34. The game was the eleventh win of the season for the high-flying Duck lings, who have dropped only one decision. The club men jumped into an early lead, and midway through the first quarter led, 9 to 6, but the injury-ridden frosh pulled into a one-point lead at the quarter. In the second period, the yearlings began clicking, and at half time had widened the margin, 28 to 15. Never completely out of the game, Multnomah presented a fast, smooth-working five that played a better game than the score shows. Led by Walt Daggett, ex-all-city player from Grant, and: captain of Dartmouth’s frosh team last year, the Winged-"M” boys put on a second half rally that, while never seriously threat ening the frosh lead, kept War ren’s men hustling. Many Fouls Thirty-five personals marred what was otherwise a good game, with three players going out via the foul route. Multnomah lost the troublesome Mr. Daggett and (Please turn to page four) Joe Gordon Dissatisfied Joe Gordon, brilliant New York Yankee second baseman, was busy with his horses and dogs at his new suburban residence southwest of Eugene yesterday morning when interrupted from his chores by the arrival of his 1040 contract from • the Yankee management. Recently credited by Babe Ruth with much of the success of the world champions, the young infield star who once cavorted on the Uni versity of Oregon diamond, looked over his document, then announced that he would keep it around a few days before sending it back to New York—unsigned. No Holdout Gordon was unable to divulge1 the figure included in the contract because of a ruling of the New York club forbidding the naming of the salary. He did say, however, “I’m not a holdout, but I do think I’ll write a note with the return of the document and see if I can’t have the salary item boosted.” Last year, Gordon, who hit around the .280 mark and was a consistent home run threat last summer, received $10,000 plus his world scries cut. Closed friends of the former Webfoot be-: lieved the new contract offered a slight increase, and ’that Gordon would ask for a Substantial raise.

ATOs, Kappa Sigma, And Sigma Chi Win A' Cage Contests By BERNIE ENGEL With Darnell Miller's last-minute basket proving the victory margin, Alpha Tau Omega's blue-shirted intramural cagers yesterday won a nip-and-tuck battle 20 to '18 from the Sigma Phi Epsilon quintet. The day's other games saw Kappa Sigma run over the Omega hall team to come out with a 37 to 7 victory and Sigma Chi bump Gamma hall 26 to 18. With ATO apparently safe on the long end of a 14-10 halftime score, the game suddenly changed com plexion in the last half as the Sig Eps battled upwards. Two minutes remained in the game when Jack Waits knotted the count ar 18-all with an under-the-basket one hander. Waits was injured in the game. A few seconds of scrambling and, as the timer was pressing his lips to the horn, Miller aimed at the hoop. He aimed straight enough but the ball rested on the rim of the hoop. The ball finally slid through the hemp. Lineups: ATO, 20 18, Sig Ep J. Dunn, 7 .F . 7, Jackson Scott, 3 .F.7, Waits Miller, 4.C.Reginato R.
