Oregon Daily Emerald
Wetmore, Dallas, and MacDon
ald—those are big names in Pacific
coast swimming circles . . . yes,
and they’re Oregon names.
For three seasons now Sherni
Wetmore, the backstroke king, and
Jack Dallas, “Butterfly”’ breast
stroke speacialist, have shattered
coast splash records right and left
to hoist Webfoot swim prestige
back to the heights once again.
And this year, Big Jerry MacDon
ald, a powerful sophomore free
_4 styler, joined the cause, giving
Oregon a perfect medley relay out
fit.
The achievements of the three,
boys have been terrific already thi3
year. Oregon State, Idaho, Wash
ington State, and Washington all
have bowed to the Webfoot team,
and Wetmore, Dallas, and MacDon
ald have played no little part in
the unmerciful beatings the Duck
swimmers have handed opponents.
Two more meets — the Oregon
State and northern division shows
—remain for these boys this year,
and that's all. But by the time the
meets have been run Oregon should
have a northern division title out of
this year’s campaign.
Host of Webfoot Greats
I In the past few years, a surpris
ingly large number of Oregon ath
letic stars have kept the Webfoot
Lemon and Green banner waving in
the national spotlight . . . just lo
name a few . . . there’s Joe Gordon,
the champions—Laddie Gale, Slim
Wintermute, Wally Johansen, Bob
by Anet, and John Dick, Pitcher
Bob Hardy, Frank Emmons and
Bob Smith, Boyd Brown, George
Varoff, Mack Robinson, and Swim
mers Jim Hurd and Jim Reed.
This year Wetmore, Dallas, and
MacDonald are three of the most,
if not the most, outstanding Ducks
in competition. And I, for one,
would like to see them get their
chance to represent Oregon in na
tional competition, the national
collegiates.
Now, if memory serves me right,
back in 1936 when Oregon had its
last great swim team, prior to this
one, Sprinter Jim Hurd, Jim Reed,
and Leo Sexton, diver, were sent
back to the national meet . . .
money was a serious consideration
then as it is now. But the problem
was solved, as I understand it, by
the athletic board putting up $100
and students subscribing the rest.
A few business men and alumni
also helped out.
Return in Full
It seems to me that Wetmore,
Dallas, and MacDonald have cer
tainly earned the right to go, and
if they did get to, they would give
Oregon return in full. Think of it.
What a three-man team the kids
would be? MacDonald in the free
style races, Wetmore in I he hack
stroke and 440, Dallas in the
breaststroke, and all three 6f them
in the medley relay.
Maybe they wouldn't take any
first places, and then again maybe
they would. At any rate, they
would pile up their share of points.
Wetmore, for instance, lowered the
coast 100-yard backstroke mark
from 1:06.8 (held by Tcbbetts of
Stanford) to 1:04. And Dallas bet
tered by five seconds the 100-yard
breaststroke record of 1:10.5. His
time was 1:05.3. In the 300-yard
medley, the trio chalked up another
new mark, swimming it in 3:01.3,
the old mark being 3:0S.l by Stan
ford in 1937.
Yes, and all marks were estab
lished despite lack of real compe
tition!
But to get back to the financial
end of this thing, I think 1 have a
proposal . . . for consideration any
way.
March of Dimes
We’ll start with the schools con
tribution of say $100. Then we'll
have the swimmers themselves put
on it show, in which the big three
tries for records. No admission to
this, only the possession of a card
obtained for a contribution of say
a nickel or dime. With every fra
ternity and sorority helping out,
this should be a cinch, especially
when von consider the Chinese re
lief cards, pure and simple dona
tions, collected seme $300.
Also a few influential business
men might be contacted. And I be
lieve Dick Strite of the Register
Guard would pitch in to help. T act
is, this corner would be willing to
start the ball rolling and takr
charge of the "dimes campaign it
enough interest is shown and the
board decides in favor.
A big problem right now i;

Alpha Tan Omega and Theta
Chi fought their way to the finals
of the intramural “A” league bas
ketball playoff by ringing up re
spective triumphs over the Sigma
Chis, 19 to IS, and the Phi Sigma
Kappas, 32 to 11, yesterday in the
men’s gym.
ATO 19, Sigma Chi 18
A one-handed rebound shot by
Stafford, ATO center, with but a
minute and twenty seconds to play
in the game gave his team a thrill
ing 19 to 18 victory over a smooth
Sigma Chi five, who led for most
of the contest.
It was Wayne Scott who kept
the tong within striking distance
throughout. In the first three
quarters he made 12 points, which
gave him high scoring honors for
the contest.

over the Phi Sigma Kappas.
During this wild first period the

Hobson Sets Trap
For Beaver Quintet
Only a short practice session
was in store for Webfoot basket
t ball players last night as Coach
Hobby Hobson plotted his strategy
to be used to cope with Oregon
State's seemingly title bound quint.
Shooting practice was given the
second spot in preference to squad
scrimmage with the frosh in the
double bill attraction. With Hob
son sitting in the maestro's chair,
the second and third stringers ran
with Warren’s once - defeated
freshman hoopers.
First Stringers Work
The first line players, John Dick,
Hank Anderson, Archie Marshik,
Paul Jackson, and Vic Townsend
| took a short workout. The Web
Kingsley of Oakridge’s defending
state “B” champs.
A third game is tentatively
scheduled, with Warren's third
string "Rangers” meeting the Jun
ior Rubes of Rubenstein's Oregon
ians.
Original plans called for the
Yearlings to play Rubenstein’s
Oregonians, but the local indepen
dents had to withdraw when they
found they would have to enter
the state AAU tourney in Portland
the next day.
The prep all-stars will have two
practice sessions between now and
the date the game is to be played,
with John Warren’s frosli getting
all the practice they want in the
final Rook game, which closes
their regular season Saturday. A
game between University and Eu
gene high, scheduled for Tuesday
night, will probably be moved to
Monday.
All tickets, upkeep for the Igloo,
and the Igloo itself will be furn
ished free of charge, according to
Anse Cornell, Oregon graduate
manager. Ed Siegmund, A1 Dietz,
Stan Summers and Lyle Small will
officiate.
I
foot headman will probably taper
off practice today in preparation
for the last of the four game se
ries with the Beavers tomorrow
night in Corvallis,
The Ducks must win this game
in order to stay in the northern
division race. Should Oregon
State’s Beavers take the game
Friday then they automatically
win the northern crown and can
use those reservations they have
made in Los Angeles. They would
not need even one victory over
Washington, their last two games.
Lindh Leads
Dick, former conference scoring
leader, was forced to take a back
seat over the weekend to Bobby
Lindh. Washington's sophomore
scoring sensation. In 14 games
Lindh has scored 157 points—a far
cry from Laddie Gale’s 1938 rec
ord of 204 points. Next in line is
little Bud Olson, Washington State
guard, with 123 points in 13 games.
Dick has marked up 120 points
in 11 games to take over third
place in the individual scoring
race.
