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.
Two University athletic teams!
worthy of backing and needing it
are the varsity boxing and wrestl- :

Intercollegiate
Match is First of
Home Season
By BOB FLAV’ELLE
Oregon's first intercollegiate
smoker of the year will be staged
tonight at 7:30 in the Igloo with
the boxing and wrestling teams
squaring off with respective teams
from Pacific university and Port
land YMCA.
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.

Alpha Tau Omega's smooth
working outfit displayed a brand
of playing that makes them a ser
ious threat in the “B" league intra
mural basketball race yesterday by
overwhelming the Sigma Alpha
Mus by a 40 to 4 count. 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. Of the ten players the
ATOs used, nine of them managed
to break into the scoring column.

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.

In a game as slow as a contest
between Oregon State college and
Idaho, the Super Chargers staged
a last half rally that netted them
a 14 to 11 victory over Sherry Ross.
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

Webfoots Drive Hard in Drill to Polish
Offense for Coach Jack Friel's Cougar
Quintet; Sweep of Series Needed
In preparation for a driving series with Washington State next Mon
day and Tuesday, Coach Hobby Hobson ran the “greens" against the
“whites" and vice versa until they both were too tired to run longer.
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.

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

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.

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

bowl trails to test. the tunes of

tice times but the new trailed

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.

In Close Fight
Taylor Sinks Last
Basket Just Before
Final Gun
It was Warren Taylor's turn to
play Frank Merriwell last night,
as Oregon’s frosh came from be
hind again to defeat Oregon State’s
rooks in the second game of the
little Civil War series at Corval
lis. 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.
