I Duck Tracks By BOB FLAVELLE, Co-Sports Editor Oregon will win tonight! I have been at Oregon for little over four terms and never once have I been accused of being overly intoxicated with school spirits. In other words,—my decision as to the out come of tonight's game is based on long minutes of be wildered meditation . . . loyalty to alma mater has nothing whatever to do with my prediction. Despite the fact that nine out of every ten Oregon fans sadly shake their heads east to west when asked what chances t heir team holds with the Heavers, an undeniable muddle of statistics, tacts, and prayers stares me in the face and gently whispers— “Place the bet on the home boys.” —So 1 am putting my nickel on the Ducks bill. k Everything Points to Victory What are the reasons for my confident attitude? ... I'll li.Vc a few. 1. Hobby Hobson spoke before the student body yesterday and a note of optimism prevailed throughout his speech . . . that he should speak as long as he did is rare, that he should be optimistic is unheard of, but when he actually smiled at the audience—1 knew then that the game was as good as won. 2. We have a new captain—Porky Andrews. With Vie Town send there to lead and Andrews to tell them what to do . . . what chance will the Beavers have? 3. Oregon State is weak. All they have in the way of mater ial is John Mandic, Paul Valenti, Clayton Shaw, John Man dic, Don Durban, John Mandic, George McNutt, and Jack Mandic. —Not more than one football player in the bunch. —Durdan. 4. Oregon has a virtual horde of basketball players—llank Anderson, Vic Townsend and Porky Andrews. —Our football player, Buck Berry, can lick their football player so that gives us an edge. 5. What HAS Oregon State got? If anything—Surely not a paper! Fehler Tries to Stall Speaking of paper reminds me that ‘Paperweight’ Clair Fehl er, known far and wide as the beer barrel that walks like a beer barrel, is trying his best to avoid participating in the Em erald-Barometer brawl this afternoon at Corvallis, lie phoned ns last night, and our interpreter informed us that Fehler had made an appointment with the hairdresser at 4 p. m. and won dered if we would mind postponing the game for a year or so. To get back to the original subject—this football game tonight, (pardon me—basketball game) seems to shape up as a battle between two hard driving halfbacks. Berry has been practicing for such a long time that a trace of stale ness, the result of overwork, is beginning to show up in his play. Hobson took his blocking back aside yesterday and reminded him of a few facts of the game. Namely: 3. Flying tackles are distinctly a thing of the past. Lb To stiff-arm is a gesture that will definitely rank him as a one-armed driver. 4. The sphere will bounce—it is not necessary to tuck it un der his arm, lower his ln»d, and plunge over for a basket every time he gets his hands on the ball. Berry shook his head knowingly, and started for the dress ing room. Suddenly lie turned and haltingly asked, “Coach, there is one more thing that I’d like to know.” “Yes, Buck,” crooned Hobby, “What is it, son?” “Which man do 1 take out when they run a pass play?” FRIDAY!

Frank Mandic, and bespectacled A1 Hunter mimicking Oregon's fast breaking down-the-floor offense. Three of the “select seven” included John of the burly Man dies (Frankie and Johnny); Jack Mulder, a forward; and George McNutt, another forward and transfer from Pasadena, jaysee, rival instiution of Buck Berry’s Compton lair.

Tonight’s game is the first Ore gon-OSC clash this season, and will be the last until February S, when the Beavers roll into Eugene to renew hostilities during the Webfoots celebration of Dads’ day. ADPi Cops Pin Crown A strong ADPi bowling team carried off honors from the Kap pa Kappa Gamma girls by copping the 1941 bowling championship by a score of 1712 to 1674 Thurs day afternoon.

I-M Grapplers Near Final Bouts Divisions Enter Semi-Final Frays By FRED TREADGOLD With most divisions in the intramural grappling tourney whittled down where they con tain just a handful of surviv ors, it is definite that by Satur day the respective champions for winter term would be crowned. Thursday’s donut wrestling saw 28 more aspir ants eliminated and a like num ber of winners advanced. The 126-pound division was the closest to completion with Leonard Lonigan, Phi Gamma Delta grappler, and Dick Rai son, Alpha Tau Omega, both listed for the finals. Lonigan earned his way to the deciding round by flipping G. Mosher, Campbell co-op, in a gruelling 6 minute set to while Raison received a default. In the 145-pounci group John Craig, Beta; James Lee, Zeta; Wilbur Osterloh, independent; and Cam Collier, Phi Psi were in the semi-finals after earning victor ies during the past two days. Also the semi-finals have been reached in the 175-pound class. C. Baker, Canard, W. Fugit, ATO; A. Samples, Kirkwood, and R. Dill ings, DU, were the quartet among whom the title will be determined. Speediest flip of the day was chalked up by Dave Scroggins, SAE, when he dumped Ken Mi yake, Gamma, in a brief 21 sec onds. , Thursday’s wrestling results: 126-pound class—L. Lonigan, Fiji, over G.

Andrews scored 11 points Saturday night against Washington State and showed the drive which earned the nod from Hobby Hobson.

Saturday in the men’s gymnasium at Corvallis. Emerald Adds De-Icers To Crush Barometer Five By BUCK BUCHWACII As full of surprises as a coed on a blind date, the Oregon Daily Emerald basketball team climaxed its cyclonic preparations for the game with the pseudo-hoopers from the Barometer, asscrtedly a bona fide newspaper, by pulling its big gest bit of legerdemain out of the basket yesterday. it was Coach Bob Flavello's announcement that his starting lineup would consist of five fe male hits of pulchritude far ex ceeding anything the Barome ter or the state college at Corn Valley may have to offer. The “Dazzlers” will be sent into the game with definite instruc tions to outrun the Barometer scribes, and to stop their fast passing attack at the outset. De-Icers Include Included in the beauteous “Daz/.ler” lineup are Nancy (Lef ty) Lewis, a blonde with a wick ed hook-shot; Jo Ann (Sizzler) Supple, who spells dribble trou ble for all opponents; Jean (Mugsy) Spearow, who can al ways call on Toni Terry if the going gets rough; Jean (Ilis (iirl) I’ridegcr, who specializes on the last break; Dotty (Heck ler) Havens, the most experienc ed lioop-la of them all, having played 115 minutes in grammar school. To back up this carload of oom phey starlets, Hie Emerald lias the following males in reserve if the gals fail, the males will go through. To-wit: Lowell Dick, Jack Lansing, Joe Walker, Doe Henry, Tommy Wright, Jonathon Kahananui, Jim Thayer, Jeff Kitchen, Ken Christi anson, Bob Flavelle, and—the only possible cause for Barometer re joicing Buck Buehwach. Tut the males and females of the Emerald staff together—a splendid idea—add the only “T” formation in basketball; couple this with unbeatable strategy'; add a hit of sharpshooting, plus the evident weaknesses of the Barometer team (Eehler still in tends to play); and you have the reason why Jack Doyle, Tom Kyne, and Bill the Dip are of fering 10-1 odds that the Oregon Webserihos will win. Frantic with fear, the Beaver writers were reported last night (through the services of the Em erald Gestapo on the Beaver cam pus) to have approached O. S. C. mentor Lon Stiner and asked for reinforcements from the varsity squad. Stinor Fears Emerald Coach Stiner is reported to iiave replied: “With that team on the floor my varsity wouldn't have a, cnance.
