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. The coast record
for that is :19.1, set by Anderson

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;

Estimated cost for sending Coach
I Russ Cutler's three swimming aces
east for the national swimming
championship is in the neighbor
hood of $300. But Oregon's athletic
| board is going to consider pie
1 proposition at its March 6 meet

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.

Battle With
OSC Scribes
Emerald and B a r o m e te r
scribes, stalwarts of the pen but
less stalwart on the basketball
floor, settle their hoop feud at
Corvallis today, meeting for the
third and final scrap of the year.
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.
The remainder of the squad
will travel in Jack (Strong man)
Lansing’s “squad” car. Members
of the traveling party are Pat
Frizzell, Ronnie Alpaugh, Coach
George Pasero, Buck Buchwach,
Jeff Kitchen, and Elbert Hawk

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 |

Ducks Invade State
For Crucial Tilt
By KEN CHRISTIANSON
Oregon's last hope of successfully defending its northern basketball
title will have a chance to bear fmit in its fourth and final game with
Oregon State tonight in Corvallis. The game will be broadcast over
KOAC starting at 7:30 p.m. Dial number is 550 kilocycles.
Should the Webfoots win tonight they will have faint hope that the
Beavers will <Jrop one of their games to Washington on the difficult
scatuc iroor. xsut sun uregon -
would have to sweep its dreaded -
four games in five days trip into 1
the Palousc hills—an accomplish
ment undone this year.
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.
Probable starters are Frank
