DUCK TRACKS ^HBntnmnmmmninmmnniniiiminmiimHimmmimiiiimniniiimimiai By GEORGE PASERO Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald Marvel of that 71 to 41 runaway over Washington State, as far Us most fans were concerned, was Lanky Hank Anderson, the six seven lad from Hines in the high couiltry of eastern Oregon. But really, Hank’s 18-point scor ing feat wasn't so surprising. In fact, in this writer’s opinion, it was due Anderson’s shot-making record for five games as a Web foot regular emphasizes my point in this respect. ^ Lanky Hank started his first conference clash at Seattle, the second night of the opening Web foot-Husky series in the Puget Sound city. He collected 9 points that evening and won for himself a berth on the Duck “first five.’’ In the two Washington games here, Anderson clinched his right to a starting position by tossing 14 points in the first game and 12 the second. This despite the fact that, young as he is, he hasn't the stamina to play full contests and must rest part of the game. Even Oregon State, a tough de fensive club, couldn't block Lanky Hank’s whirling, two-handed over head shot. Result: he potted 10 points in that 28 to 27 curio at Corvallis. ( Hank’s High Average So, you see, there was nothing really amazing about those 18 points. Hank was hot and was hit ting the hoop from anywhere around the key. He took 18 shots and made 9 good, a remarkable .500 shooting average. In the five games he has start ed, the ex-EONS athlete has to taled 63 points to post a per-con test average of 12.6. This tops John Dick’s present average and also the pace set by Wally Palm berg in establishing the present northern division scoring record of 187 points. However, Anderson probably will not come close to Palmberg’s mark for two reasons: first, he missed regular service in the first four games of the season; and second, he is playing his first year in varsity circles and year lings are more apt to have off nights than veterans. Donut Baseball at WSC Jack Friel, the little Irishman who leads the Washington State Cougar basketball team, carries a double burden at the Pullman in stitution. ... In addition to being hoop coach, he’s the head man of the Cougar intramural depart ment. Softball, touch football, basket ball ... all the regular intramural sports have a spot in the Friel system . . . and intramural base ball, a lost sport either at Oregon or Oregon State, is also featured. “The boys want to play it,” shrugs Friel. Touch football is played in the big Washington State field house, according to Friel . . . and so is softball, which is held toward the later winter months, baseball be ing played in the spring. Incidentally, varsity lettermen are barred from all sports, not just the ones in which they have earned letters as is the case at Oregon. “This makes for better competition,” Friel says. "We found that varsity men dominated in most sports . . . it’s better this way.” Bush Smith Comes Back Gale (Bushcr) Smith, last year's great first baseman and now a Beaumont (Detroit Tigers), Texas, slugging hope is back on the cam pus for the Washington State se ries . . . he’s in great shape, ton, even though he weighs 181, U) pounds more than he, did when playing for Oregon. “It’s all muscle, too,” says the colorful, smiling Smith who last year was the ace quipster of Hob by’s troupe of champions. Smith is staying with his team mate, Ford Mullen, quiet second baseman who signed a Detroit con tract at the end of the season along with Smith and Pitcher Bob Hardy. All were seniors. Hardy went directly to Beau mont, the ace Tiger farm, and stuck all season, winning five and losing only three games. Ford was sent by the Tigers to Lake Charles and Smith to Alexandria in the Evangeline (Louisiana) league. Both were soon transferred to Jacksonville of the East Texas (Please turn to f'ooc four) FROSH SWIM MEETS During the absence of the varsity Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the frosh will take over the pool in preparation for their coming meets with Salem high school tonight and Oregon State, rooks over the weekend. Another meet may be scheduled with the Eugene high swimmers r to juit opened practice. Webfoot Hoopsters Hand Cougars Fifth Defeat Ducks Occupy Second Spot (Continued front page one) He made two mistakes during the evening—collecting two tech nical fouls during a crucial stage in the second half from the whistle of referee Frank Heniges. Town send holed one of the gift tosses with 11 minutes to go, boosting Oregon's lead to 47-45 which was the beginning of the end for Wash ington State. Oregon Leads Early The Cougars had a seven point deficit midway through the first half at 17 to 10 and 19 to 12 but made use of some onehanders from around the keyhole area by Olson to go out in front at half-time, 25 to 24. Another boy who hit in the pinches was “Lanky Hank’’ Ander son, Oregon's unorthodox shooting six foot seven forward, who col lected another 14 points. Since that second night in Seattle six games ago when he crashed the Webfoot lineup for good, Hank has piled up 77 points or about 13 per game. Little Paul Jackson, Oregon’s fire-brand newcomer at guard, had a 12-point evening and again sparked the winners. Two-year Veteran Jack Jennings got 13 at center for the Cougars, another big reason why the two quintets were able to post an accumulative point total of 110. A New Record Another record went by the boards in last night’s thriller which had approximately 5000 customers in screams. It was that total of 21 points for 4 minutes and 10 seconds Oregon and Washington got last year. The second half started at 25 to 24 for .Washington State and when the Cougars yelled for time out 3 minutes and 50 seconds later it was 36 to 36—23 points being tallied in that time! Here’s the way it went: Town send opened with a steal and drib bled half the length of the court to put Oregon ahead 26 to 25. Then Kirk Gebert hit a close one for the Cougars followed by Jennings’ short shot. Hank Anderson popped in a bucket but Jennings matched it. After 2 minutes and 30 seconds it was Oregon 28 and Washington State 32. Then They Shot Then the teams really started to toss ’em in. Hank Anderson holed a pass from Jackson, Townsend hit a long shot, Chase poked in a re bound, Hank heaved one in from the corner, and Townsend came through again with a swishing set shot. At that stage with it 36 to 36 and less than four minutes gone, the Cougars called time out. They matched basket for basket during the next six minutes with Captain John Dick hitting two timely field goals for Oregon. Mid way through the last half it was tied at 44 to 44. Then came another long shot by Oregon’s dead-eye guard, Vic Townsend. This was the spot where Cocky Olson got peeved and gave Oregon two shots on technicals and another free throw when he fouled Paul Jackson. Oregon got two points out of that and after 11 min utes and 40 seconds had its 48 to 45 lead which it never again lost. Show Stamina Washington State showed sur prising running stamina consider ing its tough four games in five nights tour through the. Willamette valley, but just couldn't match Ore gon at the finish.

Betas Down Zeta Hall; Sigma Nu, Sig Eps Annex League A Hoop Tiffs By JIM SCHILLER Beta Theta Pi edged out a thrill ing 24. to 18 victory over a big, rugged outfit from Zeta hall in an intramural “A” league basketball contest, while on the same court yesterday in the men's gym Sigma Nu overcame Alpha hall, and Sig ma Phi Epsilon had a point scor ing spree at the expense of Sigma hall. Sig Eps 37, Sigma I t The point-mad Eig Eps raced and tore their way to 37 to 14 rout of a much smaller Sigma hall team in a game that consumed only 12 minutes of actual playing time. Even though some of the Sigma players failed to show up on time, the Sig Eps refused the game on a forfeit and agreed to play it with the periods vastly shortened. This meant that the mMlrace team ac tually poured in the counters at a rate of better than three points a minute. Sig Eps, 37 Jackson, 8. Waits, 16 . Reginato, 8. Giovanini. Fagin, 1.

Sigma Nu easily had enough shots in the first half to run up a big lead, but as a result of the Greek letter boys bad shooting eyes the Alpha outfit enjoyed an 8 to a halftime advantage. It was the insertion of chubby Cliff Sex smith into the Sigma Nu lineup in the third period that changed the smith quickly scored four points complexion of the contest.

Emerald Vies With Orange In Hoop Clash Oregon Emerald and Oregon State Barometer hoopers offer an exhibition of how basketball shouldn't be played when the two teams meet at McArthur court at 2 o'clock Saturday in the sec ond game of their yearly series. Emerald basketeers (?) are determined to win to hang a jinx on Oregon State's varsity when it plays the dashing Ducks Saturday evening. Last year, the Emerald won two games and dropped one. When the scribes triumphed, so did Hobby’s var sity, and when they lost, the Duck crew blew that 50 to 31 af fair. This year the Emerald men were beaten at Corvallis Febru ary 3, and true to form, the Or angemen matched the Baro writ ters by downing the Oregons, 28 to 27. So the Scribes must win! Glass Board Glimpses By KEN CHRISTIANSON Assistant Sports Editor Coach Jack Friel of the CoUgarh: “We played our best game of the year and it wasn’t good enough. Hobby’s chances for another north ern division title are fine If his boys continue shooting as they <Hd tonight. Nobody could beat them tonight.” Washington State’s boys wished Hobson good luck against Oregon State for Saturday. Shades of last year's Orogon Washington game.
