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.

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

varsity does not practice until
Saturday afternoon.

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

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.

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.
