DUCK ' TRACKS miniiiimiminimmiiMmiiiiumiiiiiiiimiiiiiuiiimimiiimiinimniiimimiuumi l?y GEORGE PASERO Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald Back in the middle of the “Roar ing' Twenties”—in 1924, 5, and 6— a remarkable basketball player named Amory T. (Slats) Gill was cavorting on the maple for Oregon State. Ho was a real hoopster, too, and all-star choice, and especially did he like to lead his teammates against the University of Oregon. OSC-Oregon tradition had some thing to do with this, naturally, but there was another and even more vital reason—rivalry between young Mr. Gill and a Webfoot named Howard Hobson. Now, Hobby Hobson was some shucks as a hoopster, himself. In fact, -he was captain and all-star choice on both the 1925 and 1926 basketball and baseball teams. And what’s more, he was not the one to take a Track seat to the Ore gon Stater. So for a college generation, Gill and Hobson carried on a hoop ri valry that had fans buzzing. No Time Like the Present Graduation wrote finis to this “friendly feud,” but strangely enough it bobbed up again five years ago when Coach Hobson was named Duck coach. Gill already was the Beaver top man. In four years at the helm of the Webfoots, Hobby has built up an edge in the victory columns, but Slats Gill is very persistent. To night, he sends his charges against the • Ducks in a new Oregon-OSC hoop clash which may prove very important as far as the northern division title honors are concerned. The Ducks almost have to win to stay within hailing distance of the Beavers who have 8 wins against only 1 defeat and the In land Empire road trip behind them. Washington State and Oregon each have lost two games, and it’s squarely up to these two teams to stop the Orange “title wave” if it is to be stopped. So there is no time like tomght to start. Hank’s Masterpiece Big Hank Anderson, Oregon’s scoring threat, has quite a sense of humor . . . and, unknown to j fans, it might be that it had a part , in the Duck’s uphill victory over the Washington Huskies last Sat urday night. His masterpiece of the Wash ington game came about like this: In a practice session prior to the Husky series, Anderson was getting mighty tired. He was breaking fast on offense, but he wasn’t getting back on defense. "What's the matter, Hank?” asked Coach Hobby. “You get down the floor fast, but you don't get back.” “Well,” said Hank, thinking a minute, “the floor goes downhilT on offense, Hobby, and uphill on defense.” Then came the Husky game. Hank was playing good ball. He had for quite a spell and was darn tired. This was just in the middle of the mighty drive that took the Oregons to a victory. The Huskies took time out, and Hank dragged himself slowly up to the Oregon huddle. “Whew, fel lows,” he muttered, “you know, this floor is uphill both ways!” Nothing could have relaxed the Ducks more. They “roared” at this wisecrack and proceeded to run the Huskies out of the Igloo. Special Attractions Russ Cutler, Oregon's coach of the year so far because of his team’s victory over the northern division defending champs, Wash ington, has a real “record-break ing show on tap for fans this af ternoon when the Dr< k swim mers meet Oregon State in the lo cal pool.

Teams Even It had to be an unlucky night for someone, for it was the thir teenth game of the season for both teams; and for a long time it looked as if it might be both. Early in the first half the frosh moved into a four-point, lead, but through out the rest of the half never more than two points separated the teams. It was a slow, ragged game, with both fives showing only flashes of the form they had displayed in running up impressive season rec ords. Martin’s free throw gave the rooks a momentary lead but the frosh recovered and held till mid way in the half when Frederick son’s howitzer put the Orange ahead, 8-7. Sidesinger’s one-hander put the frosh up again for a few seconds but the rooks came back to hold it until a few minutes be fore the end of the half. The score was tied at 13 all, and again at 15 all. It was Sidesinger who fin ally put the frosh into a halftime lead of 17-15. kooks urab Lead It was not until late in the sec ond half that the rooks again held the lead. With just five minutes to play te Orange moved into a tie at 25 all. Don Frederickson, the all state guard from Hoquiam, gave the Baby Beavers a one-point lead a minute later. The yearlings moved away again on a basket and gift shot by Jake Werschkul and a basket by Kirsch, but the Orange recovered to tie at 30 all with just 2 minutes 50 seconds to play. Twenty seconds later, Monjay put the rook into the lead with a howitzer from 30 feet out, and it was 20 seconds more before Werschkul and Borrevick per formed their Frank Merriwell. Werschkul Outstanding It was Jake Werschkul that kept the frosh up there all through the game. Playing for the first time since early in the season, the big forward dominated the backboards all by himself through the last half, and collected nine points to share high-point honors with Side singer and Martin of the rooks. Walt Reynolds, while collecting only two points, turned in a bril liant job at guard. Martin Rook Star 1 or the rooks, it was Doug Mar tin, the towering center who led the scorers, collecting three field goals and three gift shots for nine points. Dave Baum had eight to follow close behind. The two teams will resume hos tilities next Thursday, February 8, at Corvallis, and again on the six teenth here. They will windlup the battle February 24 on the rook's court.

(Special) —Oregon's varsity wrestling squad lost to Oregon State last night 30 to 0 as it participated in its first meet of the season. The Staters defeated the University of Wash ington grapplers 17 to 13 in a meet at Seattle early this week. The Orange took 2 falls, a de fault, and five decisions in blanket ing the University team.

Last year the Beavers won both of their meets from the Ducks, by 22-6 and 2S14-l1,i scores. vju.ii miie oiuaems Hold Postal Match With Kansas Team The girl rifle students have been participating in a postal rifle match with the University of Wichita, Kansas. Of the 10 high est scores selected to send east, Thelma Bouehct, team manager, shot top honors with a perfect score, according to Sergeant Har vey Blythe, instructor of rifle. Out of a possible 1000, the total sent back cast by the Oregon group was 985. The winner of the match will be known when the score made by the Wichita univer sity group is received. Freshmen Vie at 10; Varsity Men at 2:30 The University of Oregon var sity and frosh swimming teams finished preparations last night for a dual meet with Oregon State rooks and varsity today. The Duckling-Frosh meet is scheduled for this morning at 10 and the var sity contest at 2:30 this afternoon, both at the men’s pool. After the meet attempts will be made by Jack Dallas, breaststrok er, and Slierm Wetmore, back stroker, to crack existing coast records in the 100-yard breast and backstroke events. Oregon State Coach Vic Smith notified Oregon officials that he would enter some competitors in these events to as sure the official sanction of the times, should they prove record breaking. Dallas and Wetmore last year broke the records which they will attempt to lower today but neg lect of a coast official to report the records in sufficient t'me resulted in the failure of the national asso ciation's recognizing them. Oregon swim fans are confident of a Webfoot victory in the varsity meet this afternoon. Oregon's win over Washington places them in the favored position. Cutler said he expected his big freestyle star, Jerry MacDonald, to show fans some fast times to day. MacDonald, ineligible as a freshman last year, is the boy who displayed championship form at Seattle in his first collegiate meet. Little Gerald Huestis, older brother of freshman Ralph, will back up Wetmore in the back stroke events. Freestylers will be Pierce Mallory, Harold Chung Hoon, Jim Marnie, and Dick Smith. Senior Ralph Lafferty is the squad’s other breaststroker and can be counted on for points. Divers representing Oregon will be A1 Sandner and Ralph Cathey. The frosh-rook meet this morn ing at 10 is a toss-up as far as coaches and fans are concerned. Oregon's yearlings, winners over Salem high and losers to Port land's Aero club, have been train ing hard for this meet. On the frosh roster will be Bob Wagner, Dick Allen, Ken Powers, Ralph Davis, Ralph Huestis, War ren Finke, Lee Ghormley, and div ers, Tom Corbett and Earl Wal rath. Rook swimmers reportedly weak in freestyle competition but strong in diving, breaststroke and back stroke events, will be led by Jack Schwartz, Bob Morrison, Bob Loeffler, and Louie Gelbrich. Colonel Bill Hayward, veteran Oregon track mentor, is recover ing from* a slight illness. LEMON-O THE PLACE TO BUY YOUR DR. GRABOW PIPES NO (MAKING IN-NO IITE acle Machine Pre-Smokes every DR.
