DUCK TRACKS ■mnnmmimmimmiimiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiimiiuuuiiiiHiiimiiiiimiiauiim By GEORGE PASERO Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald It's almost definite now that either the Oregon or Oregon Stat< basketball team will get a bid ft play a series of games in the Ha waiian Islands this spring ... the big question is which will it be, Beaver or Duck? At the start of the season, the favorite to make the trip was Ore gon, chiefly because of prestige accumulated by Coach Hobby Hobson and his national cham pions. But now, with Oregon State leading the northern division title chase, it looks very much like the Beavers are in the contention . . . and what’s more, their case is a strong one, since a brother of Slats Gill, Orange mentor, is one of the interested sports promoters of the islands . . . also the hoop coach of Hawaiian university. One of the top Oregon boosters Is Don Watson, sports editor of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and a former Webfoot. In a column spread given to us by Bun Hod gen, brother of Jack Hodgen, an Oregon graduate who is now ath letic director of athletics at Kame hameha schools in Hawaii, Writer Watson really plugs Coach Hob son and Webfoot basketball. According to Chuck Ehton, sports writer the past year for the Star-Bulletin and now back on the campus, Oregon men are plen tiful on the islands and are very active in promoting University af fairs whenever possible. These points are in Oregon’s fa vor, but the final decision as to whether Webfoot or Beaver gets the Hawaii plum may rest on final northern division standings . . . just an added incentive for Ore gon-OSC rivalry! “Doctor” Hoyman, to You! Remember Mike Hoyman, the Oregon swim coach who- turned out those great championship teams which featured Sprinter Ji mHurd, the Reed brothers, Jim and Chuck, and Diver Leo Sexton. . . . Well, Mike writes from New York to congratulate the Oregon splash team apd Coach Russ Cut ler for their smashing win over the University of Washington . . . yes, he learns about Webfoot tri umphs even in the "Big Town." At present Hoyman is attending Columbia university of New York, working for his doctorate. Last semester Mike was in the Univer sity of Michigan School of Public Health. Always a basketball fan, Mike asks about the 1940 Oregons . . . bemoaning the fact that he has heard little of them. ... as usual, though, his biggest interest is Jack Dallas and Sherm Wetmore, Oregon’s great tankmen. . . . Mike brought the two Long Beach boys to Oregon just before he headed east in 1937 and predicted a great future for them. . . his only regret was that he could not have stayed around to watch them develop. For those who might want to write to Hoyman, his address is: John Jay Hall, R. 1336, New York City. “Two-Gun” Fails Frosh “Two-Gun” Bob Officer, Ore gon’s John Day trainer, is No. I on the frosh basketball team’s black list at present. It seems that those boys of of John Warren’s are a bit super stitious . and ..consider ..Officer’s presence a sort of good luck sym bol. Well, they got Bob to promise faithfully that he would go over to Oregon State Thursday night for their second game with Ihe rooks but when they climbed into their game togs. Officer just was n't around. Halftime came . . . and still no officer. A hectic final few min utes. Warren Taylor dropping a beauty to win for the frosh . . . but still no Officer. Considerably disappointed over Officer’s failure to show, but elat ed over their victory, the yearlings came back to Eugene to learn that Trainer Bob did start out for Cor vallis only to be stymied in Junc tion City by a flat tire. “If he’d been over there,'• the frosh chorus, “we'd have won in a walk.” Joe's “El Rancho Grande'’ Joe ..Gordon, . brilliant second baseman of the New York Yan kees. packs up this weekend, bids goodbye to his friends, and heads east and south for the beginning of spring training taler this monih in St, Petersburg (St. Pete), Flo rida. This is Joe's third season with the Yankees, and he has been a star from the first. During the off months, Gordon always comes back to Eugene to live. A University of Oregon gradu ate,' C-o;£cs tins year Webfoot Ringmen Sweep Igloo Double Bill Portland YMCA, Pacific Lose Corley's Boxers Beat Badgers by 4 to 2 Score; Waldorf's Wrestlers Edge Out Rose City Matmen, 16 to 13 By HAY FOSTER Oregon’s ringnien broke into the winning column last night for the first time this season as Vaughn Corley’s fighters defeated Pacific university, 4 to 2, and Eric Waldorf’s matmen defeated Portland Y, 16 to 13, in a double bill at the Igloo last night. It was the boxer’s first intercollegiate test. Rugged Warren Phillips, 175-pounder, scored the only technical Scribe Team Mum; Books Hoop Drill Considerably chagrined as a result of a beating at the hands of the Oregon State Barometer last Saturday, the Emerald Scribes basketball team has, of all things, scheduled a practice game—with Zeta hall at McAr thur court Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Zeta hall is one of the top teams of its donut league, and the scribes, for their part, aren't talking this week. Both Hobby Hobson, Oregon coach, and Anse Cornell, athletic manager, have given their okays to the use of the floor, as the varsity does not practice until Saturday afternoon.

The Washington State Cougars ended OSC's winning streak of six games last night when they dropped Slats GiU',s quintet, 46 to 37. This puts the Cougars on an even basis with the division lead ing Beavers, as far as games lost are concerned. However, the Or rangemen have won 9 games to 6 for Washington State. The Cougars led the Beavers all the way except at the 13-minute point in the first half. Olso was top scorer for WSC with 13 points and Valenti, for the Beavers, with 12 points. The University of Idaho won its first game in ten starts, last night at Seattle, by upsetting he Wash ington Huskies, 17 to 37. WSC, 46 37, OSC Chase, 6.F. 2, Romano Sundquist, 3.F.... 9, Mandic, F.

Coed Rifle Experts Defeat Wichita Girls In its first postal match of the year, the Oregon girls’ rifle team upheld its perfect record, winning over the University Wichita, girls’ team with a score of 085 points to 968, according to results announced yesterday by Sergeant Harvey Blythe, team instructor. Each school used a ten-man team, shooting its targets on its own ranges, and mailing the scores last Saturday. The 17-point lead of the Oregon team was the result of some fine marksmanship on the part of the home girls as the marksmen on both teams shot in the high nineties. Thelma Bouchet, manager of the Duck team, posted a perfect score of 100 points. Members of the winning Oregon team were Thelma Bouchet, Mar garet Pollard, Marjorie Schnall bacher. Barbara Todd.

He KOed Grant Scott, Pacific 145 pounder, with two jolting rights that made the fans wince. Scott, though out for a while, still won for his team by forfeit. Harold Kaschko continued his winning streak on his own floor as he decisioned Bob Denny, Port land Y, in a heavyweight wrest ling match. Vic Nudelman won over Henry Shaefner (Y) on an other decision.

By N'ANCV LEWIS Oregon’s reputation as a winter sports center was given a healthy boost last weekend when the Web foot ski team walked off with fourth place in the University of Nevada Winter Carnival and ski tournament. Last year in the same tournament the Duck snowmen placed thirteenth cjuite a jump for a two-year-old. Bert Hagen, one of the team's aces, thought the carnival was a four-star deal. “You don’t have to ski to enjoy yourself,’’ said Bert. “They throw swell parties and dances.” According to Bert, Oregon could stage a carnival that would sur pass anything on the coast. They could use the slalom and downhill courses that were used in the 1938 National tournament. The jump is one of the best on (he coast and the Timberline setting is perfect. * * * If enough students showed in terest a special train could be run to Hood and the entire lodge re served at little individual expense. Many students spend as much or more money on the campus over the weekend as it would cost for a weekend of winter carnival. Mid-terms slackened skiing busi ness, but. a few lucky students faurtd conditions perfect at the lodge. Mary Hortskotte, Jean Mil haleik, and Kappa Sigs Bob Mc Murray and Bill Edlefson left their sitzmarks on the Hood slopes. If it measures up to the 1939 edition, Saturday night’s Mount Hood Ski Patrol dance at Timber line lodge will be a clam-bake for your scrapbook. If you're going up for the weekend, it will give you something to do when it’s too dark to ski. No other organization rates as much support from l lie skiing throng as the patrol. Without them there would be a lot more ski fa talities. Ken Shipley, I’lii Dell, and Ann Waha shared their snowbank over the weekend; sort of love on iec. Skiing conditions for this week end are foreboding. Warm rains and winds have melted what snow ther6 was. Unless the fates smile kindly there won't be much slat riding for the campus snowbirds. Bob McAuliffe, Kappa Sig in tramural star, takes the honors for the weekend. His snow riding is poetry in motion. Sigma, scored 7 for the victors.

Phone 252 Cougar Battles May Affect League Lead By KEN CHRISTIANSON The Cougar from Pullman, Washington, home of Washington State, comes Monday and Tuesday nights to bound on McArthur court against Oregon’s basketball quintet. Game time is 8 p.m. for both nights. Those Washington Staters are big and rangy and are considered one of the best teams of individual ball-handlers in the Northwest. 1 hey use blocks to good etfect and cut into the basket with a wide open path before them. Coach Jack Friel’s Cougars are considered one of the toughest teams in the conference to stop when their morale is as high as it is now. They rank in second place in conference standings. The picture may be altered con siderably by the time the boys from Washington step onto the Oregon campus, for they played Oregon State in Corvallis last night and they play the Beavers again tonight. Olson Sparks Cougars Should Washington State tip Oregon State twice, then they will be entrenched in lop spot and Mon day's and Tuesday’s battles will be for first place in the northern hoop race. The type of offense stressed by Friel in Pullman is similar to that of Gill-coached Beaver teams. However, it is faster. It might be typed half-way between that of Oregon State and Washington as far as speed is concerned. Big Paul Lindeman, six foot seven center, leads the Cougar at tack under the backboards. But little Bud Olson is the spark of the Washington Staters. Before last night's game he ranked ninth in the individual scoring race with 61 points in seven games. Jack Jennings and Bill Chase, forwards, placed fourteenth and fifteenth, respectively, indicating a well-balanced scoring team. Not to be forgotten is Johnny Iloopcr, they call him Pete as they do of all the Hooper family. Johnny is the third of a string of Cougar Hooper greats. Washington State also has Ray Sundquist, Vern Butts, Dale Gen try, Kirk Gebert, Jim Zimmer man, Frank Akins, and Elvin Bergquist. Duck Domination With John Dick, scoring leader, Hank Anderson, and Archie Mar shik in the forward line, Oregon is expected to dominate the play under the backboard. With these three averaging six feet six inches per man, the majority of rebounds should go to the Ducks. At guards Coach Hobby Hobson has Vic Townsend and George “Porky" Andrews, two dependable back court men, who can be called upon for scoring at times For reserves the Webfoots have Ted Sarpola, Matt Pavalunas, Ev ert McNceley, Bill Borcher, Earl Sandness, Paul Jacksou, and Toivo Piippo. 111 in r m 11111 ■ 11 in n i ii i m 111 mi t Tobins Tobacco • Master Degree.30c • Cookie Jar.25c • Irish Mixture.25c • Cork Town.20c These, exclusive bicuds sold only at your Penny-wise Drugs Home Owned 40 E.
