By KEN CHRISTIANSON, Co-Editor of Sports
xtcraeinDei tiu* uoij Anet-Wally Jo combination that played
basketball for some 1.5 years? Of course, no Oregon fan could
forget that so quickly. Anet and Johansen started playing
around with a basketball in grade school—about the time play
ing hooky was appealing. Through grammar school, junioi
high school, and high school, went these two guards, sparking
their teams to championship. Both came on to Oregon and woi
a national crown with the help of a couple of all-American.1
and an all-coast player. After college the combine continued
in AA1 ball until it was split a couple of weeks ago with Anet
going down south, and Johansen going to Astoria to be a sport
editor.
Oregon has a new guard combination—a unit which has
been playing together since the two were in junior high
school pulling little girls’ pigtails. Bob Newland and Walt
Kresse, Oregon freshmen basketball players via Medford
high school and junior high, are the duo. To date Kresse
is tied with the center, Lloyd Jackson, for high point honors
in two games with 15 points. Nine in the Lebanon game
and six points in the Dallas game makes the 15. Newland
had 11 in the two tilts. So, if these two continue their
present paces, it looks as if John Warren scores again.
Newland and Kresse played three years in junior high and
the same amount in high school. Both cracked the starting line
up as sophomores at Medford and made the trip to Salem foi
the state tournament, it was unfortunate that Lon Card and
University high of Eugene was also there. Medford lost tr
1 US, but Newland scored 15 points in the game—Gard who set
the new scoring record got 14. Newland got honorable men
tion at the state tourney last year.
Kresse specializes in a hard-to-guard shot. Newland on tin
other hand is a fast and hard driver, lie’s a clever ball-lmudlei
and made life most embarrassing for some of the varsity in the
recent' frosh-varsity scrimmage.
DasKeiDcm, r oomaii Analyzed
This game of basketball comes to bear a greater and greater
resemblance to football. Only yesterday on the “Lane county
thinks program, listeners broke out in hoarse guffaws as one
interviewee was questioned.
“Do you think Oregon will beat Oregon State Friday
night in Corvallis?” asked the announcer.
“Well, I don’t know. I don’t follow football much,”
fenced the one asked. Of course, this could be a slam at
Oregon State’s ball game, but it seems unlikely.
The other resemblance comes from the altitude of the coaches
Tex Oliver used to invite me out of practice, Hobby Hobson
boosts me out as regularly as 1 get my Wheaties. But yesterdaj
before the manager invited me to enjoy the rain outside, I no
ticed Wally Borrevik and Bill Borcher substituting for each
other at center. George “Borkv” Andrews and Vic Townsend
were at guards, and llank Anderson and Warren Taylor were a I
forwards.
Hobby gave Andrews the job as floor captain for the game
Friday. Hobby says, “Andrews wins the job on the basis of his
play in pre-season games and also in tlie Washington State
series!” lie really drove in the games against the Cougars
and may have what it takes to spark the Ducks to a win ovci
Oregon State, l’orky lias the bulk and plays the game to en
courage his teammates.
Crying Need for Runners
Just as if a fluttering heart were not enough to worry Col
onel Bill Hayward, loved and respected Oregon track coach,
it’s now his track team and the approaching running season
which will discourage him. Ilea Kleinfeldt, promising distance
runner, has responded to his “calling.” He's now enrolled at
the Northwest Christian college to be a minister. Kleinfeldt
took a fifth last year in the coast two-mile event. Ilis old team
mate at Bend, Bay Dickson, has found the baton and drums a
job of more lucrative return, so now lie plunks out melody
rather than going over the hurdles.
As for Bob Diez, former sprinter, who has one more year
of competition, he’s holding down three jobs in Portland.
He's baggage master at the station, a waiter, and handles
the bass viol in an orchestra.
One trackman put it—“well probably have high jumpers
and broad jumpers.”

Ready for Action
Against Beavers
Despite Oregon’s basketball
team being wrapped in a virtually
impenetrable shroud, as it labor
iously prepared for Friday night's
Corvallis tangle with Oregor
State, snatches of two develop
ments managed to trickle out oi
the Igloo last night.
Porky Andrews, who did yeo
nmn's duty last Saturday even
ing a ravaging influenza attack,
ing a ravaging influenzt attack,
was named game-captain for
Friday’s encounter. John “Buck”
Berry of football renown don
ned togs and jersey yesterday to
join Hobby Hobson’s boys in
further cage exploits this sea
son.
As tough as they come, Berrj
will be, if he can get into the
groove, a prize addition to the
Oregon team... especially for ti.e
OSC tiff. No green-horn on the
maple floor. Berry is merely
picking up where he hopped off a
few years ago down at Comptor
Jaysee as an all-conference hoop
man.
Andrews Earned It
It wasn't a sudden surge of sen
timent that prodded Hobson intc
delegating Andrews as a game
captain for tomorrow night. The
dynamic Canadian “Brick” earn
ed that one himself. Fatigued tc
the nth degree, he was hauled out
of the final WSC game after stick
ing it out a bit more than half the
time and driving through for 14
points, one less than Cougar Paul
Lindeman who copped top honors
Chief cogs in the milling are
“Hawkeye” Hank Anderson at
center, Evert McNeeley and “Big

Vic Townsend and Andrews at
guards.
The Webfoots will probably tone
down their rehearsal this after
noon before entraining for Cor

Disgruntled Heroes
Work for Atherton
By JEAN SPEAKOW
Just so many deglamorized heroes, working out their Atherton-im
posed hours for football scholarships . . . that's what has happened
to last term's football players.
Curiosity to see just how the “big, strong men" are taking it, led
your reporter over to the Igloo this fine afternoon to look the situa
tion over.
The walk to McArthur court was enlivened and the curiosity was en
lightened, by the company or Bob
“Red Dog" Davis, stalwart guard
of the lemon and green line last
year.
Varnishes Floors
Bob’s succinct comments on the
set-up which requires football
scholarship holders to put in 144
hours of work this term, can be
summarized briefly without leav
ing anything out:
“Tell ’em I’ve gotta varnish
floors from I to 3 in the MORN
ING . . . from 1 tq 8 . . .’’ This
muttering continued with much
repitition, ending finally, with
“Gotta varnish floors ... in the
MORNING.” (Wonder how
many tuxes will be varnishing
floors . . . from 1 to 3 . . . in the
morning.)

The two-day all-campus box-,

held this week, has been post
poned. The date has been set
ahead one week and as a result
the matches will take place
next Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoon, starting at 4 p. m.
The reason for the advance, is
the delay in the completion of the
donut wrestling series. Because of
the postponement the entry dead ■
line has also been extended one
week. All interested amateur mitt
men can register, between 3 and
5 p m. in the boxing room, any
day before Tuesday.
Contestants will not Ire con
sidered eligible if they have won
a varsity boxing letter. The
bouts will consist of three two
minute rounds and will be
refereed by Coach Vaughn Cor
ley and Assistant Coach I’ete
Riley. Judges who have been
selected from last year’s letter
men are: Jack Fruit, Marty

am were just coming in the cioor
after tramping the muddy stretch
between Hayward field and the
Igloo.
“How,” we inquired sweetly, “do
you like football this term?”
Answer: (from Roblin) “Terrible
. . . terrible . . . terrible . .
Since Roblin’s needle seemed to
bo stuck, we turned to put the
same question to Curt and were in
terrupted by Roblin’s quick “He
thinks its terrible, too.”
Project No. 4
Closer questioning revealed that
both boys work out on Hayward
field on what is lovingly known
as "Project No. 4.” Opinion from
all those involved in this project
seem to place it well down cn the
hit parade.
The work includes everything
from dismantling the old score
board to planting trees, sifting
cinders for the track, sweeping
out the Stadium.
Dick Horne and Jim Harris
are little helpers in the train
ing room, Jim says he likes
the training room experience but
hcth hoys insist that the smell
of paint makes them sick.
There is some speculation
among the more cynical members
of the University PE staff as to
whether it is the smell of paint or
merely the smell of work that
makes the boys sick. However,
even these cynical members pre
fer to have their names omitted.
Aschom Happy
Chet Haliski, who also works on
Project No. 4, thought carefully
before answering. “We-e-1111... of
course I'm against it. .. you can’t
blame me. Gee, they didn't say
anything about work when T came
here.”
Dick Ashcom, the last encount
ered, offered a refreshing diver
sion from the dirge theme.
“I don't mind the work except
for the time it takes.. . I guess
my pretty new letterman sweater
comforts me.”

Emerald 'Lemons’
Use 'Tea’ Formation
By BUCK BUCHWACH
The Oregon Emerald’s strong basketball aggregation pulled the
surprise of the current basketball season Thursday, by blossoming
out with a hoop variety of the “T” formation during their afternoon
practice.
Concocted by the fertile brain of
Coach Ken Christianson, the new
offense is expected to completely
baffle a befuddled group of Bar
ometers, if they are not already
confused.
Hobson Eyes System
The remarkable new system
cannot be explained in detail for
obvious l’casons, font suffice it to
say that without a doubt it will be
the most spectacular bit of basket
ball legcdermain ever to grace the
Men's gymnasium in Corvallis.
Conch Howard Hobson, upon
hearing of the unique system,
sent three men to take down
copious quantities of. notes In
order to utilize the attack for
varsity purposes, but U. S.
government agents, there to
protect the patent on the style
of play, prevented them from
entering the gymnasium.
Hobson was promised a preview
of the system Friday afternoon,
however, with Coach Slat Gill also
