DUCK TRACKS WHiiiiiniiuimiimmniiiimiimmmiiiuiiiimminiutui!miin;imimmnmmu)ii< By ELBERT HAWKINS Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald Not a swimming race lost in three years! That’s the record Jaeli Dallas and Sherm Wetmore hold a1 Oregon in their respective special ties, the breast stroke and the bach stroke. The Long Beach cronies simply started eracking records and winning races as freshmen in 1938 and now as juniors they're still at it and getting better by the meet. The proposal to send Jack, Sherm and Sophomore Ace Free Stylcr Jerry Macdonald to the national swimming meet at Yale university, New Hampshire on March 29, 30 is no idle jest, for the boys are capable. In fact Coach Russ Cutler says they'll just about hit their peak by then . . . and the trio would like nothing better than to make such a jaunt. Dallas and Wetmore right now hold enough pool, dual meet, nor thern division, and coast conference records to more than fill your hat and no telling how many more they'll get. They’ve done all their terrific record slashing under the handicap of three coaches in three seasons too! Such rapid fire exchange would wreck any football system. And They’ve Won Ever Since 1 As freshmen under Mike Hoy man they won their back stroke and breast stroke specialties against Eugene high, University high, the Salem YMCA, and Salem high—four meets. As sophomores under Ned Johns, Jack and Sherm won in the follow ing engagements: Oregon State, tv'ice; Washington, Idaho, Califor nia, Stanford, San Jose State and the northern division sweepstakes (each competing and winning his event from five schools). Still unbeaten at the start of this winter, they remained that way by helping Oregon win dual meets against every school in the confer ence. The scores: Oregon 43, Washington 32 Oregon 62, OSC 13 Oregon 64, Idaho 11 Oregon 65, WSC 19 Third member of the trio this column thinks deserves a trip to the nationals next month is Jerry Macdonald, free styling ace, who teamed up with Jack and Sherm this winter in the 300 medley relay. They swam a 3:01.3 race against Oregon State. The coast record is 3:06.6, and a two-year old national mark is 2:55. Donut Record Tops Coast! Jerry was ineligible as a fresh man but in intramural competition he set a new record for every indi vidual event—four of ’em. They are the 60-yard individual medley :35.4. . . . 40-yard breast stroke— :25.4. . . . 40-yard back stroke— :3S.3. Record No. 4 for Freshman Jer ry McDonald was :18.4 for the 40 yard free style.

L'KEE I>EL1\ KICV Phene VJ~", Webfoots Ready for Final Beaver Brawl OSC Matmen Meet Ducks in Igloo Amateur wrestling holds the spotlight this afternoon in the Ig loo, as the invading Beavers from Oregon State square off with the improved Webfoots. First bout is at 3:30. Coach Eric Waldorf has put his squad through a strenuous work out this week in preparation for the second OSC tilt. First match ended with a whitewash victory for the Beavers, 30 to 0, at Cor vallis. The only Beaver yet undefeated in collegiate competition this year and for the last two years, Bob Nelson, 165, is making his last lo cal appearance. He tangles with Ray Foster of Oregon, who held his place on the team by defeat ing Earl Jeans in a tryout Wed nesday. Harold Kaschko, once defeated Duck heavyweight, will meet Har dy Young of the Staters. Frosh Roy Ell will meet Phil Gray in an exhibition 175 match instead of Vic Nudelman. Oregon forfeits this to the Beavers, as well as the 121 class, where Frosh Bob Still meets Ted Webb of Corvallis. Mort Meyers, 145, opposes Bob Rhodes, Oregon State, in an ex pected fast match. Paul Logan meets Bob MacRoberts from OSC in the 135 class, and Pat Lynch, Oregon, wrestles Leo Miller at 127. Linfield college comes here Tuesday for a match with the var sity, and the Waldorf coached men trek to Portland for a Portland Central Y meeting. of Oregon in 1928! Now, just take a peek at the doings of the former prep all-Am ericans from Long Beach, Califor nia. . . . Jack Dallas, exponent of the butterfly breast stroke, and Sherm Wetmore, the back stroker. Dallas, incidentally, can use the killingly fast butterfly stroke throughout the whole race while his opponents don’t have the stam ina to do it. For Jack Dallas here’s a partial list of his churning. Coast records: (both in Oregon pool). 200-yard breast stroke, 2:26.6, 1939; 100 yard breast stroke, 1:04.4, 1938. Northern division record: (75 foot pools). 200-yard breast stroke, 2:31, 1939 (set in the annual meet at Seattle). Northern division record: (60 foot pools) 200-yard breast stroke, 2:26.6. OSC dual meet record. 200-yard breast stroke, 2:28.6, 1940. What Mr. Wetmore Did Sherm Wctmore’s partial record list. Coast records: (both in Oregon pool). 100-yard back stroke, 1:03.5, 1938. 150-yard back stroke, 1:39.8, 1939. Northern divsiion record: (75 foot pools). 150-yard back stroke, 1:42.1, 1939 (set in annual meet at Seattle.) Northern division record: (60 foot pools). 150-yard back stroke, 1:39.8, 1930. OSC dual meet record. 150-yard back stroke, 1:39.4, 1939. The above listing of records for Dallas, Wetmore, and Macdonald serves as- only a cross section of marks the three boys hold or have held during their illustrious careers in the pool. But it’ll serve to show that any move by the student body or athletic board to send ’em east will be more than just giving three swell fellows a nice buggy ride. Russ Cutler thinks the boys are all Americans right now and Hjieir times compare favorably with na-: tional intercollegiate records. With three men swimming (heir special ties, the back stroke, breast stroke,! and free style, and the same three; team in the medley relay Oregon j might salvage a healthy total of , points in nation-wide team com-!

But Oregon's athletic | board is going to consider pie 1 proposition at its March 6 meet 1 ing . . . and the Emerald hars as | surances of Student Proxy John Dick and Athletic Manager Anse Cornell that chances arc good for an appropriation. Frosh, Varsity Swimmers Eye Stater Meets Rivals Engage at Corvallis Saturday A.M. and P.M. Oregon's varsity and freshman swimmers, 20 strong, finished pre parations last night for the coming meets Saturday at Corvallis with the Oregon State mermen. The varsity teams of the two schools meet at 2:30 in the after noon and the frosh and rooks at 10 a.m. Saturday. Traveling Squads Accompanied by Coach Russ Cutler and Managers Jimmy Seld ers and Cliff Sexsmith, the varsity swimming personnel will include Jack Dallas, Sherm Wetmore, Jerry Macdonald, Dick Smith, Jim Smith, Gerald Huestis, Ralph Lafferty, Pierce Mallory, Jim Marnie, Har old Chung-Hoon, and Divers A1 Sandner and Ralph Cathey. Ducklings making the trip will be Lee Ghormley, Bob Wagner, Ralph Davis, Earl Walrath, Ralph Huestis, Dick Allen, Warren Finke, and Tom Corbett. Victories for both the varsity and frosh, winners earlier this season over the Beaver teams, have been the general pre dictions. Gerald Huestis, No. 2 back strok es Pierce Mallory and Jim Smith, lettermen free stylers, and Harold Chung-Hoon, sophomore free styl ist, have been added to the squad that made the recent Inland Em pire trip. Additional power scoring in these three men and ability to shift Sandner, a diver, to free style events, as well as Dallas and Wet more, is expected to be a factor in Oregon’s favor. Freshmen Win Cutler’s first-year men, who de feated Eugene high Wednesday, 48 to 18, have also shown ability to shift events in their meets and still take every first place in a contest. Latest freshman to star is War ren Finke, who pushed through the water Wednesday against the Eu gene boys for a 1:06.9 in the 100 yard back stroke, surprisingly fast time for a first-year man. ADPi Victors Over Kappa Alpha Delta Pi wormed its way into the championship round of coed basketball yesterday, when they held a 12-8 lead over Kappa when the final gun sounded. These League III champs will meet the Co-op, winners over Chi O in the other semi-final match, in a fight for the cup tonight at 4:45 in Gerlinger. Tuesday Kappa and ADPi played their initial semi-final con flict to a draw, 10-10, which ne cessitated yesterday's play-off.

The Baro-men won the first tilt at Corvallis, 18 to 4, and the Emerald inkslingers squared ac counts at McArthur court last Saturday, winning 34 to 17. Confident Emerald scribes will leave from the “shack" at 12:30 and 1 o'clock. Two of the ace local scribes, Dick Whitman and Ray Dickson, will not be able to make the trip. Leaving at 12:30 with Bob Fla velle, sport staff Romeo, will be Ken Shipley, the man with the “clown suit,” Jack (Cueball) Bryant, and Dick Phillippi.

Members of the traveling party are Pat Frizzell, Ronnie Alpaugh, Coach George Pasero, Buck Buchwach, Jeff Kitchen, and Elbert Hawk ins. Ranger Five Lose to Uni The John Day Rangers aren't fourth-stringers any more. The powerhouse five, who have been mopping up at the tail end of lop-sided victories all season for John Warren’s frosh, dropped a 48 to 43 decision to University high Wednesday, but they behaved like first stringers doing it. Playing an iron-man quintet, the Rangers made a valiant attempt to overtake the prepsters in the sec ond half, after being nine points down at the rest period, and Ray Hendrickson’s victorious tiders un defeated in district 7 play this sea son, were hard pressed to come out on top. Bill McMahon, forward on the ex-fourth stringers, led all scorers for the game with 19 points, while Tex Gatlin topped Uni with 15. The Rangers’ next taste of com petition will come Tuesday night when they tangle with Rubcnstein Oregonians’ Junior Rubes, as one part of a three-ring attraction at the Igloo for the Finnish Relief fund. According to reports received today, however, it is absolutely un true that Warren plans to start the Rangers against the Oregon State rooks Saturday.

Head Man Tex Oliver, shown above, will guide the football destiny of the Webfoots for the coming season. Ho has already started working out his 1940 “Oliver Twist.” Webfoot Footballers Start Early Practice By AUSTIN CHANEY Tex Oliver, head custodian of the University of Oregon football hopes for the 1940 season, really has something to base his famed “Oliver Twist" on this year. Oli ver had a record turnout to work with at his first spring practice. Seventy-six candidates, including a good-sized group of last year's freshmen and promising trans fers, were on hand to climb into uniform for the early workouts. Jim Stuart and Hymie Harris, two of last year’s starters, will fur nish the backbone for one of the heaviest lines that Tex has had since he started his career at the University. Reinforced by several transfer linemen of no mean abil ity the line will probably be the strong point of the Webfoot at tack. Stuart, an all-coast player, who weighs around 210, will be back at left tackle position and Harris/! a junior weighing 190, will probably fill the left end post. The backfield, according to Oli ver, is still an unknown quantity. There is no shortage of material to fill the four positions, it is just a question of who can do the job best. Buck Berry, transfer of last year, is sure to see plenty of ac tion in the coming season. Berry, who tips the scales at 185, plays; at either the right or left halfback | r ' 1 MEN WHO GO PLACES Successful men don't toke o chance, they taka Manhattan.

Little Hal Johnson, 155 pound back from San Mateo Junior college, will remind most Webfoot supporters of Jackrabbit Jay Gray beal. Johnson is the speedball of this year’s aggregation and has plenty of defensive ability. The Webfoots are allowed only thirty days of practice during the spring turnout consequently they will only practice three days a week for the remainder of the t,ime. So far the Ducks have been concentrating on light workouts but Monday they are scheduled to start regular scrimmage work outs.

Curbstone coaches, despite the 1 heavy Oregon State odds, claim 1 that Oregon is due for a win from 'J the rough-and-ready Staters. Many ' would say the pressure is off the Ducks and they are mad enough to pour in winning points in the game. First in Four Years If Oregon should lose tonight it will be the first four-game sweep scored by Oregon State over Ore gon since 1917. As it stands this series is the first the Ducks have lost in the past four years. Coach Hobby Hobson has been drilling his players mainly on shooting which was not their forte against Oregon State. It is thought if his long shot artists in Vic Townsend and Paul Jackson can make a good percentage of shot3 that Oregon State's defense will be drawn out. That would facilitate sporing in the keyhole. However, Oregon State has not been idle. Slats Gill’s boys have made approximately one field goal in three attempts during the con ference season thus far. That reads .333 in any man’s language. Two Styles of Ball Regardless of that, the game will probably become a debate be tween Oregon’s run-’em-in-to-the floor style of ball and Oregon State's slow-’em-down-to-a-snail’s pace ball. Hobson will take his entire 15 man squad, his managers, and Trainer Bob Officer in private cars to Corvallis this afternoon at about 5:30. They will get there just be fore the game and come back to Eugene immediately after.
