Duck Tracks By KEN CHRISTIANSON, Co-Editor of Sporta Ineligibility. It’s a tlisageeable word to Messrs. Mike Hoy man, fox Oliver, and Vaughn Corley this week. For it is in eligibility rulings which have caused a number of plaus of these Oregon coaches to be tossed out the nearest window. Three frosh swimmers took the,Pacific coast conference rulings on the chin. But the worst blow to Hoyman was Stu Randall, varsity freestyler from Annapolis. It was around Randall, Sherm Wetmore, and Jack Dallas that Hoy man was building his team. Randall was capable of a con sistent :m or :oo in the 100-yard freestyle. With Randall ruled out, Hoyman is left on the limb with no topnotch Iree styler. Contrary to popular thought, Hoyman's swimmers with one exception were not ruled out of competition because of poor gardes. Bill Lyon, frosh freestyler, took the count because of a low GPA, but the other two freshmen and Randall were declared ineligible for other reasons. Randall has swum one year of varsity competition, llis freshman year he didn’t com pete at the University of Hawaii. As a sophomore, he swam at Annapolis as a freshman. Any entrant can only compete on Iresliman teams, lie swam one year of varsity competition. And the transfer rule held him out ins one remaining year. Freshmen Ruled Out Hod iuau, iresnman, was ruled out because he swam with the Aero club of Portland against the University of Washington freshmen in March, 1'J-fU. That was before he even knew he was going to matriculate at Oregon. Tom Houston is ineligible for froslt competition but he may be eligible for the varsity, llis three terms at Oregon have expired, so lie is no longer a freshman. If he is ruled eligible for varsity competition, it will be an aid to Mike’s varsity problems. On the wrestling front Oliver is feeling low because of adverse rulings against Ray Foster, Henri D’Elba, and lVlort lviyers. D Riba went down because of grades. Foster and lYiyers technically completed their three years of var sity competition. Meanwhile, Corley’s boxing squad was momentarily weakened by a ruling on Pete Riley, state 145 pound AAli champ. Riley had taken incompletes in fall term s work, and was notified of his ineligiblity too late to make up his work for last Saturday’s OSC meet. Riley will be eligible for all fights to come, however. 11 Men Used to Beat Beavers Bouquets to Hoyman! lie used exactly 11 men to beat the combined varsity and freshman swimmers by respective scores of 12 to 32 and 38 to 36. Dallas, Wetmore, A1 Sandner, Gerald Ilucsfis, Cub Guilts, and Dick Allen were the varsity men. Six men entered in nine events. Each man can only be entered in three events, so Iloymau could use only one man in some of the events. In fact, excepting the medley relay and the four man relay, the 150-yard backstroke was the only event in which lloyman entered two men—AVetmorc and liuestis. That was about all the men Hoyman had to use. Jim Mamie was suffering from the after effects of measles. Hoyman and his gang really had very little trouble beating the Beavers, but Washington will probably be a different story. lloyman says, “ We've a 50 to 1 chance of beating Washington, but so long as we have that one chance of beating the Huskies, we’ll be in there working.” And it wouldn't be surprising if the Ducks managed to pull the meet out of the fire, for Iloymau showed more strategy in beating the OSC rooks Saturday. Exactly five men were used in nine events ,although the medley relay was scratched. Bob Irvin, Chuck Nelson, Jack Robinson, John Mead, and Al Conyne were the few swimmers which Mike could use. The others were watching from above with bad cases of ineligibility. Rhea Beats Cavagnaro The standout athletic event of tlie whole day's festivities,! however, was the heavyweight wrestling match between Ore gon's Floyd Rhea and OSC’s Yirg Cavagnaro, national AAU champion. Rhea gave Cavagnaro one of his few beatings Cavagnaro is fast as a buzz saw and just as dangerous to some one not so strong as lihea, but. there was nothing the Beaver could do in this case. Each time Cavagnaro got behind Rhea, the Duck simply bounced to his feet, shook off the Stater, and rushed at him again. Cavagnaro tired faast, long before the end of the fight— it went 13 minutes. At one time Rhea became irked with the way things were going. He was grappling with Cavag naro in a standing position, then Rhea dropped his weight on Cavagnaro. The Beaver melted beneath the 221 pounds of Oregon grappling meat like a splat of butter on a hot griddle. Near tlie end of the match, Cavagnaro could hardly hold his body erect; lie was weaving all over the ring. An Oregon man yelled, ‘‘Stop this slaughter, Cavagnaro is too pooped to fight.” An agrarian student piped up with, “That’s the way he wrestles, lie's wrestling for points.” And all the time, Cavagnaro was at the point of collapsing from sheer fatigue. Oregon Matmen Drubbed by OSC Hal Kaschko, Rhea Win Only Matches As Ducks Fall, 6 2 \n outclassed University of Oregou wrestling team Saturday look a 6 to 2 drubbing from the Orange and Black grapples from Oregon State College.

Duckling Five Crushes Vancouver, 53-14 Yearlings Run Up Victory Margin In First Period Jackson, Sheridan Score 12 Points; Halftime, 36 to 9 A first scoring spree by the University of Oregon Ducklings yesterday was too much for the Vaucouver, W'aashington high school team as the frosh hoop men trampled the northern five by a 53 to 14 score. The Vancouver boys were never really in the game as the frosh dominated the contest trom the tip off to the final gun. The half time score was 36 to 9. Slow Start Bob Sheridan and Lloyd Jack son walked off with scoring hon ors each accounting for 12 points. The first frw minutes of the game were wild, and Ken Sim mensen finally broke the ice with a dribble in shot. Finney evened it up with one from the front. With the scoring started, Jack son and Bob W’ren added quick basket to give the frosh the lead. The yearlings continued to pep per the hoop and it was well into the second quarter before the vis itors could score. Bob Sheridan got hot in the second quarter and (Please turn to page four) AGGRESSIVE Tall and powerful member of Hobby Hobson’s comeback Web foot basketball team is Archie Marsliik. Marshik saw action in the encounter as the Ducks polished off the Washington Huskies last night, 57-35. MENTOR Vaughn Corley, boxing coach and varsity line boss, watched his inexperienced mitt team take a 1-1 trouncing from Oregon State college. It was Corley’s first at tempt to break the Beavers 14 year boxing supremacy. Beaver Miitmen Down UO Squad Shephard Defeats Pruitt for Only Webfoot Victory Jim Shephard, heavyweight, was the only Oregon boxer to draw the judges’ nod, as the Webfoot meet team lost a one-sided match to Jim Dixon’s OSC aggregation. Shephard pounded out a three round decision over Ken Pruitt. The Beaver heavyweight was forc ed to cover up for most of the fight and was an easy target for Shep ahrd’s uppercuts to the jaw. Neith er fighter displayed much polish, but Shephard showed more stuff than he did ini lifting the all campus crown last week. In the 135 pound tilt Marty Schedler was decisively beaten by Hal Peterson, one of the top-flight lightweights in the northwest. Schedler gained the plaudits of the crowd by the game fight he put up against an opponent who has almost as many years of box ing experience as the combined Duck squad. Merle Hanscom looked gun-shy as he was completely outclassed by Don Hawkins, 155-pound boy Corvallis. The Orangemen won two fights by forfeits when Pete Riley was knocked out by scholastic ineligi bility and Willard Heath, 135 pounder, was kept out by a cut lip. The only knockout of the day occurred when George Thorpe walked into a right-cross handed out by OSO's 120-pound Hawaiian boy, Jiro Yasudo. The results: 120 pounds: Jiro Yasudo of Ore gon State knocked out Geotge Thorp of Oregon; 127 pounds: Dick Livingston of Oregon State won by forfeit from Willard Heath (Please turn to par/c four) LAST'-'/£AR.

Frosh Hoopers Win Two More Astoria, Hood River Downed by High Scoring Ducklings The University of Oregon frosh outran, outguessed, outshot, and just naturally outplayed two for midable high school opponents in the past weekend, winning over Astoria preppers, 70-86 and Hood River’s Apple Pickers, 51-18. Now land of the frosh took high scoring honors in the Astoria game with 20 points to his credit and his run ning mate Wren followed with 14. Wirkkunnen was high for Astoria with 15 points. The game was a running affair all of the way, the frosh playing their usual run and shoot game and ASTORIA using the same tac tics. Roger Dick fouled out of the contest in two minutes of the sec ond half in the wild passing, run ning and pass grabbing fray. In the second game the frosh outclassed their smaller Hood River opponent and galloped to an other easy victory. The frosh were not hitting the basket, attempting 78 shots at the bucket and hitting 28 for field goals for an average of .294 dropping .103 points from the Astoria game average, which was .397. Gissberg led the frosh in scoring with 12 points and Roger Dick followed close behind with 10. Samuel wras high for the Apple Pickcrs with 6 points. (I’lcasc turn to page four) Ducks, Frosh Drown OSC in Swim Meet Both the University of Oregon varsity and freshman swimming squads dunked the Oregon State college Beavers in a dual tank meet in Corvallis Saturday. The varsity won by a score of 42-32 and the frosh, 38-36. Despite the fact that the six man varsity is the smallest team to ever represent Oregon in a dual meet, they won both relay events and three other first places to post the 10-point victory. Mike Callis, sophomore free-styler; Sherm Wet more. backstroker, and Jack Da1 las, ace breast-stroke swimmer, won first places for Oregon. Frosh Edge Kooks The five-man freshman squad barely nosed out the rook swim mers in a dramatic win, by taking the relay, final event of the morn ing program. Individual stars for the ducklings were Bob Irvin who won the 50 and 100-yard free style events and Robinson who won the 220 and 440 free style events. Both swimming in the last event, the 400-yard relay, which won the meet for the frosh.
