DUCK TRACKS mmnnmmiminnnimiiiiiinmiiiiiHimMmmiiKiiitinniHiMiniiimmiiiLiuiiiDi By ELBERT HAWKINS Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald It seems like the peaceful Ore gons have been on the receiving end of an unusual amount of unjust panning lately from various coach es and writers. The home athletes haven’t done any blasting of their own but still it comes. Case No. 1—The Oregon State Barometer accused Boxing Coach Vaughn Corley of a “defeatist atti tude’’ or^putting it plainly, fear— because he didn’t want to send an inexperienced crew of Webfoot boxers into the ring to be slugged about by some obviously superior and much more experienced Ore gon Staters. Case No. 2—Oregon’s champion ship-chasing basketball team em ploys a set-offense against Oregon State for the better part of ten minutes in what turns out to be the thriller of the season, 28 to 27, but is accused of stalling and ruin ing the game ... all because Slats Gill’s Beaver defense wouldn’t move out and force play . . . some thing a Howard Hobson club al ways does under similar circum stances. Oregon’s “Farm System” Case No. 3—and the latest blast. ■Taek Friel, Washington State’s basketball coach, accuses Oregon athletic Aentors of using a “farm system’’ in the normal schools for develoninir boon talent. Friel’s charges were aimed at the complete state educational system, particularly meaning the Webfoots and the Beavers because they com pete against his Washington State Cougars. Friel claims the larger Oregon schools “farm out’’ promis ing hoop talent in the normal schools for experience in much the same way a big baseball club uses its chain of minor league outfits for seasoning recruits. Friel’s "farm system” charge intimates that Oregon and Oregon State pick promising athletes from high school and send them to eith er Southern Oregon, Eastern Ore gon, and Oregon College of Educa tion for seasoning with the promise they’re to finish out at the large schools. True, when Hobby came to Ore gon from the SONS institution five years ago a quintet of basketball boys moved with him, but the cir cumstances aren’t a parallel. Two of Oregon’s most outstanding nor mal school transfers since that time arc Lefty Bob Hardy and Hank Anderson. Came Here for Law Bob went to school in his home town, Ashland, and like Hank came here with the intention of finish ing his education in law school. If a normal school athlete shows the ability to play at Oregon, he won’t be turned away, but it’s going too far to say the Beaver and the Web foot institutions pick ’em out of high school and plant ’em there for experience. If they did, Friel would be justified in calling it a “farm system. Coach Bob Quinn of Eastern Oregon College of Education at La Grande gave Friel’s accusation a kick in the teeth when he com mented: “We have no players sent here from either Oregon or Oregon State, and have never had any sort of agreement with either of the schools . . . students have trans ferred since they must leave East ern Oregon in order to graduate, but players have not been recalled from here nor have we influenced their choice of schools because of athletes.” Hobby Hobson shook it off by saying that only two players in the last five years have come to Ore gon from junior colleges of the state. Four Smaller Schools The three colleges of education previously mentioned and Multno-' mah college form a group of the only four such institutions in the state. Washington’s normal schools are on a four year basis, although Hobby claims they’ve got a string of schools holding junior college rating from which Washington State can draw athletes.

There will be nine wrestling bouts and seven mit matches on the regular program. In addition, the YMCA aggregation is bring ing three or four extra mat men to Eugene in the event that oppon ents can be found for them. To date the Duck glove-tossers have had no actual competition, save that gained in the recent all campus smokers that were staged by Coach Vaughn Corley to give the newcomers a little ring ex perience. Bose to Staters The wrestlers under Eric Wal dorf, coach, have had but one match so far, that being with the strong Oregon State squad whose team is being referred to by many as the best on the Pacific coast. Oregon was snowed under by a 30-0 score after throwing scares into several of the Beavers’ star performers. Waldorf's team received a set back today when Ray Foster, who had previously been selected to represent the school this week, showed up for a workout with a badly bruised knee that will keep him out of competition indefinite ly. Earl Jeans, wrist-lock artist, was selected to fill in the vacancy left bv Foster.

For the first time in history they're under bona fide coaches who know their jobs —Vaughn Corley and Eric Wal dorf. Corley's first intercollegiate test is against Pacific university which once had Arise Cornell as its football coach. Vaughn figures a long trail is ahead in developing that sport to a point where it'll rock the coast but promises a good show, in fact he says the school rnitmen could worry Oregon State right now if freshmen, ineligible:: Cit s lc<iKl, ATO, Phi Sig,Theta Chi, Duds, Sigma Chi, and Kappa Sigs Lead in ‘A’ Donut Hoop League I Duds .

In other “B" games played on the same court in the men’s gym, the Scotch Terriers swamped Gamma hall, 31 to 9. and the Super Chargers edged out a hectic 14 to 11 win over Sher ry Ross hall. ATO 40, Sammies 4 With Jack Hay leading, the fast breaking offensive and Bob Mc Donald controlling the backboards, the ATOs started out the contest by building up a 9 to 0 lead before Morrie Stein could come through with a score for the outclassed Sammies. Hay and McDonald staged an interteam scoring race during the game. McDonald won out by ring ing up 11 points, while Hay, the tong's president, was close behind with 10.

Terriers 31, Gamma 9 With rangy Bud Leonard going on a 14-point scoring spree the Scotch Terriers used their ball hawking ability to trounce a much smaller Gamma hall team. Six of Leonard’s points came on free throws that were awarded.him as a result of being fouled on some of his one handed shots. The Terriers were most effective in the first half as they ran up an 11 to 2 lead. However, in the last half the speedy Gamma boys man aged to find the hoop a little more regularly.

The injection of Bob Flavelle into the Super Chargers’ lineup in the last half of the ball game was the turning point in their favor. His six points made him the high scor er of the contest. So slow was the pace in the first half that the halftime score was only 4 to 3 in favor of the Super Chargers. Super Chargers, 14 Wolfe, 4 .... Burghardt Jasper, 4 ... Dulaney. Hodson . .. F .

At times the Oregons were hitting their shots with amazing accu. racy, at other moments they missed consistently. Indications are that the Webfoots will be at full strength when they engage the Cougar who has ventured out of his lair in the Palouse hills.

WSC, Idaho On Schedule Of Swimmers Coach Russ Cutler Worries About Cougar Team By rAUL McCARTY Another road trip February 16 and 17 with meets against Wash ington State and Idaho is the schedule for the Webfoot swim ming team's next two meets. Washington State, the school way up in the Palouse country of the evergreen state, has a swim ming team. That’s all that is Known of the Cougar mermen. And that’s why Coach Russ Cutler is worried. He has no available information on the WSC swimmers, and if the current trend continues, he will have none until he and his mermen arrive in Pullman. Only Six Men The Idaho case is different. With the first meet coming up on Janu ary 20 and only six men reporting for the team, Bob Tessier, Vandal coach, issued a final call for men before he recommended that the sport be curtailed for this season. His final decree that the life or death of the Idaho swimming team this year was in the hands of stu dent swimmers interested enough in the sport to make a bid for places on the team by turning out before the end of that January 20 week gained the desired results. The next day Tessier was host to more than enough swimmers to make up a team. And now Idaho is back in the running with the other northern division squads. In a meet with the Huskies of Washington last Friday, Idaho was a 48 to 17 loser. But a summary of results showed that the Vandals were comparatively strong in plat - ing swimmers in second and third finishing positions. A team like (Please turn la pwjc jour) Evans Wins Top Spot At Reno Ski Meet Hank Evans, top man of the Wcbfoot ski team's big three, was named yesterday as the best all around skier at the University of Nevada winter carnival and ski tournament. Hank took fifth place in the downhill race, seventh in the slalom, sixth in jumping and fifteenth in the cross-country to annex the high point honors. Tom Terry, Evans’ teammate, was rated a: the third best skier at the meet coren irubescncrh or Stanford was second. The Duck skiers jumped from thirteenth place last year to fourth this year. The Webfoots beat out Oregon State, Cal. Tech, and Southern Cal. to take the fourth spot. Bert Hagen, third member of the big three, placed in two events to contribute his share to the Oregon triumph. At Hood Next Next meet on the Webfoot sched ule is the Northwest Ski union *Cto T**f V *-;; 16 and 17 at Ut. Hood. Coach U>i lie Dickie has not announced the complete Oregon lineup for this event but it is certain that Evans, Terry, and Hagen will compete The remaining two places on the team will be derided on thia week end when the snow men travel to I the new Hoodoo Bowl on the San-1 tiam river Dickie plans to use, the, bowl trails to test. the tunes of hir- slat riders. Current snow con-1 ditions may slow the Duck prac tice times but the new trailed prsp&rs ths Ors the stiifer Hood runs. Vic Townsend, fiery transfer guard, has been sitting on the side lines watching most of the prac tice with a common cold to keep him company. Competition Tough Competition has been fierce for the starting positions. Veterans Matt Favalunas and Ted Sarpola have not been content to let Hank Anderson, George Andrews, and Archie Marsliik oust them from the favored five. Evert McNeeley has also been showing well in an en deavor to gain back his first string berth. Little Paul Jackson has been working for a better spot. However, that lineup of Ander son, John Dick, Marshik, Andrews, and Townsend, which averages six feet three inches plus per man is nothing to junk. It is quite possible this same lineup will open the two game “shoot the works’’ against Coach Jack Field’s Washington Staters. These rejuvenated starters have lost only one game, that by one point, to Oregon State’s league leaders. Monday and Tuesday night may be considered as a measuring stick to determine how well this lineup can stand the gaff against those tall boys from Pullman. Neil Farnham to Head Ski Club Bus to Take Sports Fans to Hand Lake For Weekend The University ski club last night elected officers for the coming year, and planned a trip for this coming Sunday, February 11.

Kappa Sigma defeated Phi Sig ma Kappa, 23 to 0, and the Yeo men quintet beat Pi Kappa Al pha, 22 to 10. Neither Omega hall nor Kirkwood co-op fielded play ers so the game was classed as a “no-contest." The Kappa Sigs dominated their game throughout. While setting too fast a tempo for smooth ball handling, they easily broke down the Phi Sig defense. The losers de cided early in the game to stall and keep the score low; conse quently they took few shots, hop ing to keep their opponents from getting possession of the ball. Ahead 10 to 2 at the half, the Kappa Sigs kept the Phi Sigs from Scoring at all during the third quarter. Bill Moore tallied 10 points for the winners to top the court's scorers for the day.

It was the thirteenth win in fourteen starts tt>r John Warren’s Ducklings, and gave them a clean sweep in the first half of the se ries with the Baby Beavers. The frosh, after leading at half time, 13 to 11, went into the last five minutes with a six point lead, but Dave Baum, Orange forward, went on a rampage all by himself. With two minutes to play Baum had put the rooks in front by one point, but John Tuttle lifted the yearlings into the lead again with a field goal. The same Mr. Baum, however, came back with a free toss to tie it all up again, and then it was Warren Taylor sinking the winning basket with just five sec onds to play. Last week the same frosh de feated the same rooks the same way, with Jake Werschkul and Wally Borrevik teaming with a pair of baskets to snatch a two point victory away from the Baby Beavers. Next Friday the two teams re in rn to McArthur court to continue the little Civil War. In two games the frosh have scored a clean sweep, but each game was pulled from the fire in the last few sec onds. .......I."I1""1.g Tobins Tobacco j m Master Degree 30c § • Cookie Jar 25c h I 9 Irish Mixture.25c j 3 9 Cork Town.20c g 3 Those exclusive blends | sold only at your | Penny-wise Drugs g Home Owned LI 40 E.
