‘ DUCK TRACKS ■nmiiimuiiiiiiinmiiiiiiiiiiiiiinimiiiiiiiiiiiiiikiimiiiiiiiiDiiiiinniminiininD By GEORGE PASERO Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald It's March 3, 1940. Oregon’s Webfoots have just won their third consecutive northern division championship. All thoughts of exams and term reports are shoved into the background as the campus jubilantly celebrates . . . yes, and even L. H. Gregory has quit blast ing Hobson strategy. A pretty picture we're painting, isn't it. But it could happen. You just can't count that team of Coach Hobson out of the northern division title chase yet. Not by a darn sight. In past years, Coach Hobby's championship teams have been not ed for storming, startling stretch finishes. Suppose that the Ducks | got hopping mad over that Ore- j gon State affair, and clean up in their final eight games of the sea son . . . win two from Oregon State, two from Idaho, and four from Washington State. Then, even if the Beavers won all of their remaining games, ex cept of course, the two with Ore gon, the final standings would read something like this. W L Pet. Oregon.13 3 .812 Oregon State . 13 3 .812 This would necessitate a playoff game for the conference flag and the right to play the southern divi sion winner. Okay, the Ducks Win It! If you don’t like this conclusion, why then figure Washington State j to drop the Orangemen once in their two-game series at Corvallis this weekend. Also give the Hus kies a win in the opener of their series with Oregon State at Se attle. In the meantime, for the pur pose of our figuring, Oregon splits with WSC here, then bounces Ore gon State twice, and sweeps the road trip . .-. presto, you have: W L l>ct. Oregon. 12 4 .750 Oregon State. 11 0 .687 Of course, this is merely hypo thetical, but it is not too far fetched when you consider that there really is no outstanding team in the northern division this year .... like last year's great Ore gons were. Any number of different con clusions based on suppositions can be drawn. But any way you look at it, you must give Oregon a fighting chance. Here Come the Cougars As we see it, everything depends on the Dueks and Washington State . . . how WSC fares with the Beavers this weekend . ... how Washington, with Cruiser Nelson, a fine ball player, back in action, treats the Gill-men at Seattle . . . how Hobby’s boys do in their re maining two OSC affairs . . . and how the Ducks show on their final road trip of the season. Washington State, with her host of seniors and a driving little fel low named Bud Olson, is still a Very dangerous team. . . . The Cougars have hoped this could be their year . . . and until they are kicked out of this race, don't hand out any ribbons. This means you, Beaver, and you too, Duck! One thing Oregon fans have overlooked is the fact that the present Hobson team, the one which includes Archie Marshik, Hank Anderson, John Dick, Porky Andrews, and Vic Townsend, has looked mighty good since it took over to whip the Huskies in three games.

All Hands Are Ready for Second Beaver Battle; Starting Lineup Listed By BILL PHELPS Number two in the “Little Civil War’’ series is played tonight at Corvallis, when the Oregon frosh meet Oregon State's rooks, and no matter what John Warren says, the Ducklings will go onto the floor as favorites. Last week the frosh won the first battle 34 to 32 in a game during which both team tried their best to look bad. Each five, facing the most serious opposition either had encountered, was tight and ragged and neither looked like the teams that had posted impressive records up until that time. Frosh Improve There is, however, a strong in dication that John Warren’s frosh are returning to form; a fact borne out by the rumor that Warren was seen to smile once during practice last week. Greatest factor in the improved Ducklings might be that the injury jinx has lain off for a whole week, and for the second time in succes sion the yearlings will go into the game at full strength. Number two is the fact that the frosh have al ready beaten the Orange once, and in so doing found the rooks noth ing like the team they were cracked up to be. Starters Listed Warren will probably start big Wally Borrevik at center, Quentin Sidesinger and Jake Wersehkul at forwards, with Warren Taylor at reserve for all three posts. At guards will be John Tuttle, and Don Kirseh, with Walt Reynolds, the boy who saved the day last Friday in reserve. Rook Lineup Bill McKallip’s rooks, who were run all over the floor last Satur day by a supposedly weak Hood River squad, will have six feet, eight inches of Doug Martin at center, with Dave Baum at one forward and Pederson at the oth er. Guards will be Don Frederick son, the heralded all-state center who was completely blanketed by Walt Reynolds last week, and either Bud Conrad or Bill Monjay. was this team's first in four games, and was only by one point ... a margin that doesn't show any su periority, especially when it came as a result of a prayer shot. Short Shots . . . Shades of Hank Luisetti and liis 20-points plus game, average! Bob by Anet, driving captain of Ore gon’s national champions, scored 25 points for Itubensteins the other night , . . last year, Bobhy was noted for his 2 to 8 points per game, and especially for his drive and court generalship ... of course, he really didn’t have to score last year. . . . As he himself puts it ‘Why should Wally and I shoot? All wc had to do was throw the oall to the big boys, Gale, Slim, ami John, and they'd get the bucket.” It's much different this year . . . what with Gale and Wintermute in the pro ranks. . . . Fact is, the scor ing burden has suddenly fallen on IVally's and Bobby's shoulders . . . ind just as in college, the two Astorians have always been equal :o the occasion.

Ducks Boast Swim Marks University of Oregon swimmers, past and present, can lustily praise their performances in coast swim ming pools for they now hold sev en coast records and one national record. Three of these records were es tablished Saturday in competition against the Oregon Sla^e mermen. As usual, Coach Russ Cutler’s “big three” of Jerry Macdonald, Sherm Wetmore, and Jack Dallas were on the record-making end of the newly-established marks. Macdonald Stars Macdonald swam the freestyle portion of the 300-yard medley team, which included Dallas and Wetmore, that established a new coast record of 3:01.3, as com pared with the former time ot 3:08.1 held by Stanford since 1938. Dallas, who already held the 200-yard coast breaststroke mark, added another record to the books with a 1:05.3 in the 100-yard breaststroke. His time was over five full seconds better than the recognized record of 1:10.5 held by Clark, Stanford, since 1933. Wetmore, the coast’s 150-yard backstroke champion, lowered an other mark, this in the 100-yard backstroke, with a 1:04, easily beating the 1:06.8 of Tebbetss of Stanford. National Record Hut the top mark of them all is the national intercollegiate rec ord of Jim Reed, who in 1936 placed himself among the nation’s best swimmers with a 3:44.6 in the 300-yard individual medley. .

Waldorf Names Wrestling Team For YMCA Bout Eight Oregon Men To Appear Friday In McArthur Court By BOB FLAVELLE Coach Eric Waldorf today an nounced the selection of an eight man wrestling team that will meet the formidable Portland YMCA grappling aggregation in the first half of a boxing and wrestling smoker scheduled for Friday night at 7:30, in McArthur court. In the YMCA, Oregon is meeting a team that boasts experience and class, and will probably have to be at their best to defeat the Portland squad.

Meyer vs. Lee Opposing Lee in the meet Fri day will be Mort Meyer, classy Ore gon wrestler who went into an overtime period with Oregon State's Murl Hutchinson last week before losing a disputed decision to the Orangeman.

Frosh Also Battle Portland is also sending three or four extra men who will meet a reserve or freshman group of the Oregon squad. These matches will be shorter affairs and are designed to give the Oregon boys much needed experience. The reguiar matches are to be seven minutes in length. Despite the one-sidedness of the score against Oregon State last week, the Duck wrestlers showed much promise and with the aid of a few matches for experience, should he able to make a better shown against the Beavers when they meet again.

Ducks Still In Northern Hoop Race Beavers to Face Fiery Cougar Hoop Opponent By KEN CHRISTIANSON Oregon is still in the northern division basketball race. On the hasis of past games played, Oregon State is still far from in the championship harbor. For the Beavers face what has be come the toughest foe at the pres ent time, Washington State. All Oregon State needs now is two or three defeats to make things more interesting in the northern hoop clash. Since those rampaging Cougars from Wash ington have taken 13 of the past 14 games played from Oregon State, they seem to be the logical candidates to upset the apple cart. WSC Average High This year Pullman marked the first time in four years that Ore gon State has beaten a Washing ton State lioop team. In 1937 and '38 the Cougars swept the entire four game series each year from the Beavers. This year they have split the two games played. That isn’t all. Oregon State has had a bad time winning games from the Cougars since Slats Gill took over at Oregon State. Since the beginning of Gill's reign, 1928 29, Washington State has won 29 and Oregon State has taken 13 of the games played. Washington State will be han dicapped after encountering Ore gon State Friday and Saturday for after a rest Sunday they come to the Igloo to drive with the Ducks.
