Duck Tracks By TOMMY WRIGHT Three out of tlie Northern division’s five leading scorers arc Oregon’s own. But still Hobson and his “Best 10-man squad find tlie season is nearly half over and they are anchored firiply in last place. Specific reason—none in sight. An analysis of the individual scoring records reveals something, however. There are five members of the Web foot squad who have scored more than 10 points in the seven games played to date, but of the next six members of Oregon's best, only 31 points are scattered among them. 1 liis very surely casts an unfavorable light on Hobson's reserves. YV ashington State, which has played the same number of games as the Ducks, has eight players with total points to their credit reading above the ten-tally line. Oregon State base seven men above that mark in only five games. Idaho having played in but five games, is the only conferenecc team which shows weaker reserve strength than the “tall firs.” No Reserve Power Back to Oregon's original five, they can probably outscore any other five-man team in the Division, but one or two are injured, or a fast pace calls for a rest period on the bench, and Oregon’s scoring power is greatly reduced. The reserves just do not seem to have a semblance of a scoring punch. The Webfoots in seven games have gotten and taken-more shots at the basket than any other team in the conference— but they also have 1lie lowest “batting average’ ’in the loop, connecting for a percentage of only .248. And the first line reserves are the one that are pulling down the average. Break for Webfoot Boxers Lines around Webfoot boxers’ mouths took a down turn when a two-meet schedule with Pacific university was wiped off the slate, but things took a brighter turn when the Athletic department yesterday signed far a match with Oregon State college. Jim Dixon boasts one of his strongest Beaver lineups in years with 120-pound Jiro Yasiulo, a little boy with a lot of punch, undefeated Livingston in the 125-pound class, and Harold Peterson, lefty in the 135-pound division, and plenty of punch in the other weights. Corley has a bevy of mittmen who may be able to grab four,of the seven matches, with Pete lliley favored in the 145-pound class, and llanscom, Fruit, and Jim Shephard given good chances to take the 155, 175, and heavyweight bouts. Baseball—Signs of Spring Sun and the first signs of spring weather have brought a few baseballers out for light workouts. Billyr Calvert, who at this time seems to be the best bet as catcher for the Ducks this year,, has been working out with Nick Beglerics. Nick, last year’s frosh standby, is coming along very well already, says Calvert and may be Hobson’s top pitcher. “He has really been pouring them in, ’ ’ said Calvert and a badly swollen palm on his catching hand proved he wasn’t kidding. With an abundance of material for the other positions, if Hobson can find a pair of capable pitchers, Oregon will be set. All the basemen and fielders have been approached by pro fessional offers, which in college ball means a lot. With such semi-pro players as Bill Calvert, Chuck Clifford, Arba Ager, Bill Hamel, John Bubalo, and Bill Carney on the roster the team just can’t be bad. Varsity Swimmers Vie With Freshmen Just what Mike Hoyman’s mermen can do to the. Oregon State Beavers when they tangle at Corvallis Saturday, is being laid aside today as the varsity and frosh face each other in the men’s pool at 3:45 in their third and final meet. Main bit of contention in the public meet once again will be the bitterly contested struggles oe tween Co-captain Shcrm Wetmorc of the varsity ancl Jack Robinson of the frosh for supremacy in the free-style distance events. Wet more has managed to take both 220 races by about a yard, but last week Robinson reversed Wet more's three-inch victory of the first meet with an amazing 5:14. Robinson vs. Wctmore It was a great victory for the husky freshman who previously had been passed in the last lap of three races. Robinson will likely again today attempt his burning pace which forced Wetmore so hard that he was not able to come up with sufficient kick to win. For the frosh the meet will pro vide a last chance to erase last I week's 00 to 15 win for the var sity in which the frosh lost race after race by a very narrow mar gin. According to Coach Hoyman, the strong competition between the two wpiads has considerably , helped the conditioning program for Saturday’s meet with the Bea vers. Both squads will make the trip to Corvallis, the frosh meet- ■ ing the rooks in the morning, and the varsity meet being slated for 2 in the afternoon. Despite a 56 to 19 trouncing at the hands of the champion Uni versity of Washington Huskies last week, the Beavers boast- a well-balanced, dangerous team. Psych Grad Invents Movie Technique Dr. Irving H. Anderson, ’32, now at the University of Michigan, has invented a sound motion picture technique for teaching elementary reading. Dr. Anderson received his mas ter's degree here in 1933 in psy chology, and then went to the Uni versity of Iowa for his Ph.D. From there he went to Harvard as an in structor, and he is now at Michi gan working on problems of read ing difficulties.

ARCHAMBEAU'S FLORIST > .. - ■■ ■ ■- -* 1 Duckling Five Downs Salem High, 64 to 49 Washington Cage Machine Boasts Speed Huskies Roll South For Duck, Beaver d Basketball Jousts By JOHNNY KAHANANUI It's a galloping Husky basket ball team “Hec” Edmundsion is massaging with the lash this year and is grooming this week for a plunge south into Oregon. First the Orangemen 40 miles north of Eugdne make a grab for the Huskies’ tails, then, pooped or refreshed after the Beaver rendez vous, they lope into Eugene for an injection of Duck dope. Like Oregon’s hurly-burly drag through the mill last week, this erous this season. But the Husk-: by the Ducks and Beavers. Right Gill would goad his Beavers into by one point after staring at a five loo Monday and Tuesday evening, jaunt is Washington's most treach erous this season. But the Husk ies have something to flop back on should they be knocked sprawling by the Ducks and Beavers. Right now they seem headed for their ninth northern division cage title since 1921, being unrepulsed in four thrusts to date. Likes Fast-Break Washington Coach Edmundson is an exponent of the fast break and has his reins trailing off a bunch of horserace players capable of effectively executing this type of play. If you don't believe it, ask Idaho's Vandals or the Oregon State Beavers, twice each victims of Washington ball-hawking. “Danged” if Orange Cqach Slats Gill would goad his Beavers into scurrying up and down the maple boards with Edmundson’s racing Huskies, and when the hand on the big clock had crawled over every minute mark on the face, Gill was “danged.” Washington had bottled up OSC's deliberate, waltz-me-around-again-Willie tac tics and pushed ahead to cop the second game of last week’s series by one point after staring at a five point deficit in the contest's twi light. Lindh Stars Big tomato on the Washington squad is Forward Bob Lindh. A junior this year, Lindh pulled up behind Oregon’s John Dick in the scoring rush last season, was tagged “outstanding sophomore star,” and is a wizard with the ball from way back. Lindh, like Oregon’s “Galloping N e c d 1 c,” boasts an unorthodox shot. He drifts away from the hoop as he lets go of the ball. Another cog in the Washington machine is Norm Dalthorp. Put to gether on the lean side, the 5-foot 10-inch-145-pound forward sparked the Husky outfit in the second OSC-Washington tilt in Seattle. On the home front, Oregon Coach Hobby Hobson sent his boys through inter-squad drills yester day in preparation for the Ducks’ reception of the Huskies in the Ig loo Monday and Tuesday evening. Coed Basketballers Have Day of Rest In the only girls’ basketball game scheduled for Wednesday, the Co-op B team won by default from the Theta girls when the latter’s team failed to show up.

Webfoots, Beavers To Say It With Fists By STEVE WORTH The University of Oregon mittmen will try for their first win in the history of the Beaver-Duck boxing rivalry when they tangle with the Orange sluggers at Corvallis at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon. With the exception of last year, the two schools have met twice every seas on since the inception of collegiate boxing in 1926 and the Ducks have yet to appear on the black side of the ledger. However, Corley, Riley and Co are confident that Saturday will SAE Whips SAM 52 to 0 in Donut 'A' Hoop Contest Betas, Zetas Defeat Phi Delts, Delts in Other League Tilts By TOM HUEBNER Mathematical - minded sports fans dusted off their scorebooks Tuesday as SAE skunked, trounced, and otherwise defeated SAM, 52-0, in the most one-sided game of the intramural hoop season. This decisive victory surpassed even the 16-0 white-washing given Pi Kappa Alpha by Kirkwood co-op in Monday’s events. SAE’s Clif ford, and Smith took the day’s high point honors with 14 points apiece with the remainder being pretty well distributed among their teammates. Betas Win Beta Theta Pi copped a 12-9 victory over Phi Delta Theta in a game which featured guile and op position rather than points. Charles Stevenson of the losing team was high point man having chalked up 7 of the 9 points made by his team. Zeta hall proved victorious over Delta Tau Delta and came out on top with a final score of 30-18. In this event Hank Martini of Zeta walked off with the high-point honors having netted five field goals and four foul shots. He was followed closely by Carlo A pa, also from Zeta who dropped a total of i0 points. SAE, 52 0, SAM Clifford, 11.. K. Ehrman Leonard, 6.F. Uiback Ricdcr, 10.C. Perlman Smith, 14 .G..

Riley Leads The eight-man aggregation is led by Welterweight Pete Kiley. Riley is former state AAU welter weight champ and lias drawn the short straw only three times in three years of fighting. The Port land Irishman is scheduled to meet Arnold Hildebrant who, according to Beaver Coach Jim Dixon, is heading for a Pacific coast title. Out of the Aggie’s stables comes highly touted Hal Peterson, veter an of over 200 amateur scraps, to trade blows with slim Marty Sched ler, YVebfoot representative in the 135-pound elass..

Eugene Laundry & Bandbox Cleaners Ph;ns- 12;.> Plucky Viking Team Fades in Last Half Simmons Leads All Scorers With 16 Points: Referees Call Total of 31 Fouls on Both Quintets; Wren Paces Frosh With 14 Tallies By LEE FLATBERG The I'niversity of Oregon freshmen basketball team showed the fans some real run-and-score taeties in MeArthur eourt last night when they put on a basket barrage that shoved an outplayed but not out lought Salem five under by a 64 to 4!) score. The Salem team, although over-towered by the Ducklings put up a torrid battle for the first half and were tied with the frosh 24 to 24 two minutes before the gun went off, ending the half. The game was wide open and neither paid much attention to de fense, but concentrated their ef forts on dumping in points. Simmons High Simmons, Salem forward, took top honors in the scoring list with 16 points. He creased the strings six times from the floor, and added four foul shots Bob Wren topped frosh scorers with 14 points. Wren started the scoring with an early basket from the side but Bower evened it up with a long one from the key circle, only to see Lloyd Jackson and Bob Nevv land move the frosh out in front with a pair of baskets. The frosh held the advantage and were able to build up a seven point lead, but could not increase it as an alert and smooth working Salem five continuosly threatened. Salem Ties Game The Vikings tied it up at 24-all two minutes before the half but two quick baskets by Bob Sheri dan and a long one from the corn er by Newland ended the dead lock and the frosh were ahead 32 to 25 at the half. The second half of fhe ball game was a close repetition of the first as the frosh continued to hold the lead and shelled the hoop to slowly increase it. It was not until the third quar ter was over, however, that the yearlings were able to run up a really commanding lead. At the start of the third quarter they held a lead of 47 to 37, and from this point on out there was little doubt of the final outcome. varsity.

Duck 'Rasslers' Pitted Against DSC Saturday Mort Myers May See Action; Staters Are Favored to Win With a long string of previous defeats staring them in the face, and a pocketful of determination, the Oregon wrestling squad will depart for Corvallis Saturday to take on the Oregon State Beavers. This Saturday meeting with the Beavers will mark the debut of the Wehfoot wrestling squad, and though the odds are top-heavy in favor of the Staters the determin ation of the Oregon team mem bers is something that can’t be entirely overlooked. The Ducks have been slaving daily for this season and despite the gloom voiced by the coaches, some little ray of sunshine beams through it all when the Oregon noses are counted. When such men as Mort Myers, Ray Foster, Hal Kaschko and Co , don Oregon togs, things can't be entirely gray. Myers is not yet out of the woods in connection with his eli gibility but Coach Lloyd Koehler announced that he can switch men and fill in the gap—if Myers is found to . be ineligible. An eight-man team will make the trip to Corvallis and they will be picked by the coaches probably sometime Thursday. The matches are to be run off Saturday after noon. A return engagement with the Oregon State crew will take place on the Oregon campus the follow ing week. TUMBLERS Tumblers will meet in the ap paratus room, PE building, 3 p.m. Friday to practice for half time stunts during the Wash ington-Oregon basketball game February 3.
