Oregon Dally Emerald'
“You 11 have to beat Orcgor
State twice,” said Coach Jacl
Friel of Washington State to this
writer and cohort, George Pasero
when he was asked about what
chances the W'ebfoots have in this
year’s northern division race. And
he acted like he meant it.
What Friel might have added
was that an Oregon loss to Wash
ington State here Monday or
Tuesday nights would practically
wind up any hopes of defending
•Hthe title. Friel made his little
statement before last night's game.
Friel was the target of a little
mud-slinging by Oregonians only
last week when he was quoted as
saying Oregon and Oregon State
use their normal schools as a
“farm system” for recruiting and
training athletes.
He claims the Washington writ
er who picked up that little bit of
sly comment he cut loose one day
in Pullman went a bit overboard
on the whole idea. Mind you, Friel
still thinks Oregon schools get a
better break on using athletes
from their smaller “Colleges of
Education" here than in Washing
ton because they don’t lose a year’s
eligibility in transferring.
# He Was Misunderstood
" But he didn’t wunt it charged
that he thinks our Hobby Hobson
and Slats Gill pick hoys out of
hgih school, subsidize them
through normal school, and then
pick ’em off as seasoned perform
ers for varsity ball.
How tough was Oregon State
against the Cougars?
“They didn't break as fast . . .”
said Coach Friel, “but they were
awfully strong off the backboards
. . . they beat us on rebounds in
the second half.”
Surprised that Idaho was able
to tip Washington in Seattle Fri
day night?
“No!” he fired right back with
an answer that would amaze a lot
of fans who know how tough the
Huskies are in “first-nighters” on
their own dead floor.” Another sur
priser . . . Friel figured the Vandals
might make a sweep of two games
up there, which they didn’t.
* “Idaho is an improved club now
. . . they have had tough luck . . .
they could have won a couple of
cur games.”
Could Have Drop Kicked ’em
Was Washington State hot in
that. 66 to 43 win it picked up at
Idaho’s expense?
Listen to Friel: “On? **!!?***!
yes. We couldn’t miss. Wc could
have drop kicked ’em through that
night.”
I often wonder just how con
sistent these coaches arc on their
opinions from year to year . . .
and keep notes just to find out
Friel, for instance, said just one
year ago that basketball in the
Big Ten is rougher and tougher
than northern division ball.
What does he say now, his Cou
gars having taken a road jaunt
into that country since then? They
still get away with stark murder,”
back there, says the Cougar men
* tor. “They didn’t call anything at
Northwestern . . . even body blocks
went.” In short, the Big Ten
whistle tooters are never known
to let loose with a blast on some
thing questionable like in the
northern division . . . they wait
until it’s really a foul.
Oregon Couldn’t Either
“Purdue was the toughest club
wc played,” was another Friel
comment which sounded good to
Webfoot supporters, as the Boiler
makers were one outfit Hobby’s
team couldn’t top in December.
In fact they were so doggone
fast against Washington State the
Cougar coach was forced to resort

Tonight’s Game
At Oregon, Washington State.
(Continued from page one)
another whirler through before the
game was a minute cold. Jack Jen
lings momentarily checked the
Duck march with a push shot from
the side, but Anderson hit two more
ind Dick one to make the Oregon
superiority margin, 11 to 3.
It was right then that the fans
realized the Ducks were hot. Even
L. H. Gregory must have marveled
as he saw the tall first team of
[lobby Hobson sweeping' down
court for basket after basket.
10-Point Lead
Swishing in the points, the
Ducks moved ahead 17 to 7 with
only 7*4' minutes gone and at the
12-minutc mark, Oregon led by 10
counters, 24 to 14. At this point
Coach Hobson began substituting
freely, and the Cougars crept back
to within six points, 30 to 24, with
about a minute and one-half to go
in the first period, mainly because
of the play of Gifcby Gebert, sub
WSC guard. A basket by Pava
’unas and free throws by this same
Pavvy and Townsend boosted the
advantage to 10 points again by
the halftime gun, 34 to 24.
Coach Hobson shoved his first
team of Archie Marshik, Hank An
derson, John Dick, Vic Townsend,
and Paul Jackson back into the
fray as the second half got under
way, and the regulars quickly be
gan to “make hay.”
Washington State, rapidly tiring,
was no match for fighting John
Dick and his helpers. One-handers
by Dick, two-handers by Anderson,
howitzers by Townsend and Jack
son ... all were good as the Ducks
moved in front by 21 points after
five minutes of play, 48 to 27.
On Past 50 31ark
Two more buckets by Anderson
and one by Townsend, and the
Webfoots were over the 50 mark,
leading 52 to 28. On they rushed,
Centry to hold a 64 to 35 margin
despite baskets by Gebert and Dale
with about eight minutes of the
ball game remaining.
Here, Coach Hobson retired his
first team. And as Dick, Townsend,
Jackson, and Marshik came off the
floor, the crowd gave them a stand
ing ovation, then turned its atten
tion to Sports Writer Gregory, sev
eral hundred throats shouting in
unison, “Poor Gregory.” Gregory,
you remember, is the man who
blasted Oregon “stalling tactics" at
the last Oregon State game.
McNeeley Does It
As the game went into its final
minutes with the score 69 to 41,
the crowd waited, hoping to see
Oregon roll up 70 points. Only sec
onds remained when Ked McNeeley
stood on the foul line, ready to try
for the point that would bring the
score to 70. He missed, but grabbed
a pass, and fired away as bedlam
reigned in McArthur court. His
shot was high and true—the final
score, 71 to 41.
For Washington State, it wars i
two ever-dangcrous guards, Bud"
Olson and Gebert, and a husky,
black-haircd center, Paul Linde
man, who made it tough for the j
Webfoots. Lindeman and Gebert
scored eight points cacht while
Olson had seven.

Over Weekend
Warren's Frosh
To Play OSC Rooks
And Longview
Two up and two to go, John
Wrren's frosh this week swing into
the home stretch of the “Little
Civil War,” as they entertain the
Oregon State rooks at McArthur
court, Friday night.
But that’s not all. Saturday
Longview's giant Lumberjacks
come to town, and with them
comes the Ducklings’ chance to re
deem that one lone defeat in 14
starts.
The southern Washington prep
sters have been the only team to
measure the yearlings this season,
and they come primed to make it
two in a row, a feat which John
Warren wouldn’t like at all. In
fact, there is some likelihood that
John would even like to run the
Longview boys right out of Mc
Arthur court.
Rooks Dangerous
However, before the frosh run
anybody anyplace, there is still the
little matter of Bill McKalip’s
rooks to take care of. In two games
they have trailed the Ducklings by
a total of four points, and each
time they lost out in the final
heartbreaking moments.
In the first game Wally Borre
vick and Jake Werschkul teamed
to dump in a pair and snatch a
two-point win from them, and in
the second it was Warren Taylor,
breaking a tie with just 15 sec
onds to go.
Unbelievably, the frosh are still
"’hole and hearty, despite the fact
that it has been two weeks since
the injury jinx lifted. Warren, with
prospects of a whole team to work
with, is now finding difficulty
choosing his first stringers. The
great showing of Walt Reynolds in
the first rook game lifts the dusky
lad almost to a par with John Tut
tle and Don Kirsch. In Taylor,
Quentin Sidesinger, and Wersch
kul he has a trio of brilliant for
wards.

Travel to Linfield
By BOB FLAVELLE
Oregon's wrestling team under
the direction of Coach Eric Wal
dorf travels to McMinnville this
afternoon to take on the Linfield
college grapplers at 4:30 in the
Wildcat gym.
Waldorf is shifting his lineup a
bit and sending Waldo Caufield,
wiry 155 pounder up into the next
division in order to match Hay Fos
ter, who regularly wrestles at 165
and has had more experience than
Caufield, against Linfield’s 155
pound star.
Linfield will put a comparatively
inexperienced team into the ring
against the Webfoots, only three
of the eight contestants being let
termen. Oregon will likewise show
a green team with only Foster and
Meyer being holdovers from last
year’s regular squad.
Harold Kaschko, heavyweight,
will carry the Oregon hopes in the
top division. Kaschko has won
three out of four matches so far
this season, winning two local
intersquad smokers as well as last
Friday's match against Portland
YMCA. Against Oregon State, in
the first intercollegiate meet of the
season for the Ducks, Kaschko lost
a referee’s decision to the veteran
Beaver representative, Ray Fugate,
for his only defeat of the current
campaign.
The meet, today should be a. close
one if past performances are any
indication of team strength. Both
the Ducks and Wildcats have
dropped matches to the strong
Oregon State squad by overwhelm
ing scores, Oregon losing 30-0 and
Lnfield dropping their meet 3l't
to l>/2.
The traveling squad leaving at 1
p.m. will include Pat Lynch, 124,
Bob Foster, 131; Paul Logan, 138;
Morton Meyer, 148; Ray Foster,
158; Waldo Caufield, 168; Vic Nu
delman, 178; and Harold Kaschko,
heavyweight.

Glimpses
By KEN CHRISTIANSON
Assistant Sports Editor
Remark heard: “Darn lucky
we're not playing; Oregon State—
lucky for Oregon State, I mean.
Oregon's fans wax sympathetic
in a chant of “Poor Gregory, Poor
Gregory.” Someone else sympa
thizes “Thai Oregon team is stall
ing again.”
Two nearly unguardable shots
Hank Anderson’s two-handed shot
while high in the air. A flip of the
wrists coupled with a half-gainer
with a twist provides the impetus
of the shot. Little Bud Olson’s two
handed chest shot which becomes
a one-handed toss when it leaves
his hands.
* * *
Coach Hobby Hobson reveals all:
“It was just a matter of the boys
playing a pretty good driving
game. Our defense eould have been
better. By alternating the squad
we managed to keep our tempo
up.”
Skeet Manerud, quarterback of
that 1919 Oregon Hose Bowl game:
"They look good. They’re playing
ball tonight.”

Meet Idaho, WSC
This Weekend
Swim, swim, swim and then
swim some more is the schedule
for the University of Oregon swim
ming team this week.
The Ducks will swim and drill
intensively till Thursday and then
“swim some more” Friday against
Washington State and Saturday
with the University of Idaho.
Russ Cutler’s mermen have had
only two meets this season, and
won from both Washington, de
fending champion, and Oregon
State, strong contender. Next Sat
urday, Cutler and company take to
the open road again, this time for a
short jaunt to Corvallis for a re
turn meet with Oregon State.
Ten-Man Squad
A ten-man traveling squad made
up the team that beat. Washington
but Cutler said he may add two or
three men to the club this week
for the WSC-Idaho trip.
Washington State is an unknown
power in northern division swim
ming circles, as far as Coach Cut
ler is concerned. The Idaho Vandals
have had fair success this season in
swimming. The Vandals were de
feated last week by Washington,
but a summary of the score showed
Idaho strong in second and third
places.
Cutler will depend on his well
balanced team of first-place win
ners, backed by second and third
position men, to defend Duck hon
ors against WSC and Idaho. Swim
mers who have been setadily turn
ing in good performances all sea
son but have been forced into the
background because of the record
breaking performances of Jerry
MacDonald, Jack Dallas, and
Hherm Wet more, are Dick Smith,
Jim Smith, Pierce Mallory, Jim!
