At Infirmary
Rome fun!—
Just the other day, one of our
more sun-tanned Californians
went up to the campus infirm
ary to get the regular health
check necessary before entering
school. After doing the custom
ary knee bends and jumping
around to get his heart in circu
lation, he proceeded to do all
the rest of his repertoire of acro
batics and health exercises, much
to the amusement of the staff.
By the time the pulse was tak
en, he was near the point of
exhaustion—and then blamed the
high pulse on the pretty nurses.
That’s somethin’.
Still no news from upstairs—

Reward Offered
For 29 years, Prof J K. Bond
of the business administration
school kept in working condition
the black Waterman pen given
him by a high school class which
he taught in Gilliam county.

finds it, the professor is offer
ing a suitable reward for its re
turn.
Although the pen has had re
pairs and replacements in cer
tain parts, it is still the origin

when he left his teaching posi

In Second Period
Oregon Hoopmen Pull Scoring Comeback
In Last Half of Rough Oregon State Brawl;
After Trailing, 14-12 as First Canto Ends
—
By BOB FLAVELLE, Sport Co-Editor
CORVALLIS. Ore., Jan. 17—(Special to Oregon Daily Emerald) —
Led by “Wild Bill” Borcher. a fighting mad Oregon team took all that
Slats G il’s rough Oregon State quintet had to offer for 25:50 seconds
of last night’s northern division contest at Corvallis, then bounced
back with a furious running attack to completely stampede the hither
to unaeicaica weavers oy a score
of 41-31.
Bnrcher Runs Wild
Tt was the “wild man” that was
responsible for the Webfoots’ re
turn to the win column as he lived
up to his monicker and took com
plete command of the backboard
situation while throwing' in a to
tal of 10 points in a second half
scoring splurge.
Trai’ing at half time by a 14-12
score, Coach Hobby Hobson’s men
| came out for the second half with
I murder in their eyes and before
| six minutes had passed. Town
I send cast off with a mid-floor how
itzer to tie the score at 18-18
quickly following it with a beauti
ful layin shot to put his team in
to the lead from which they were
never shaken.
Andrews Well Placed
George "Porky” Andrews prov
ed to the fans that Hobson made
no mistake in appointing him game
captain late in the week. Easily
the coolest, smoothest player on
the court, Andrews tied Borcher
for high point honors with a to
tal of three field goals and four
fouls.
Zone Effective
Employing a shifting zone de
fense to perfection, the Webfoot
five completely bottled up the
Beaver’s work-in plays, and held
their scoring threat, John M-mdic,
to a total of seven points. Mandic
was ejected from the brawl late
in the final ouarter for employing
football tactics in laying Honk
Anderson out eo’d as the “Needle”
was maneuvering for one of his
famous acrobatic twist shots.
Popping away with blazing rap
idity, Hank “The Galloping Needle”
Anderson shoved the Webfoots
ahead 6 to 0 soon after the game
had rolled underway. But OSC,
not to be denied, strugg’ed back
with three points after five min
utes. Then Oregon galloned, the
Beavers honping dangerously be
hind, to make it 12 to 10 with but
a minute to go in the first half.
OSC Moved Ahead
Oregon went momentarily wild,
and the Bavers, quick to take cog
nizance of the situation, dripped
two through to naso the Webfoots
14 to 12 as the first period slipped
out.
Hobby’s Webfoots hoofed back
after the half-time respite to
wind the count no 14 all, Porky
Andrews and “Slick” Vic Town
send roiling foul shots over the
rim. But the Beavers wheeled
right around. John Mandic and
Durdot. making it 18 to 14. Then
Oregon barrel'od back to even
the score and splurge ahead 22
to 18, holding that until Durdan
squeezed a field goal through,
raising tho count 22 to 20. One
gratis shot apiece made it 23 to
21.
Andrews, still driving with
three; fouls p’agnlng him, twist
ed a free shot through. Score,
Oregon 24, OSC 21.
Time rushed by. Wally Borrovik
fouled himself out of the game.
