Duck
Tracks
By BOB FLAVELLE, Co-Sports Editor
i;
With Oregon and Washington the only teams active, their
two- game series Monday and Tuesday night was a magnet
to the rest of the northern division coaches. Slats Gill,
head-man at Oregon State and Jack Friel, coach of Wash
ington State were quite busy taking mental notes on the
teams that they must meet next. The only mentor who
failed to show up at the Igloo was Forrest “Twogie" Two
good ,who bosses the Idaho hoop squad.
Juek Friel seemed to be the only mentor with the exception
of Hobby Hobson who took the first night Washington massacre
with incontrollable glee, and well he might chuckle, for his
high-riding Cougar team has completed the most dangerous
part of its schedule and now enjoys the prospect of playing five
out of the remaining eight games on the Pullman home court.
They can lose two of the eight contests and still finish in the
lead, while if they win all but one, as is likely they will, it will
mean the northern division championship crosses into Washing
ton territory.
Jack Friel Is Relieved
No little of Fried's pleasure is derived from the thought that
he will not have to meet tlie fast-rising Ducks again this season.
I‘m darned glad we’re through with Oregon,” exclaimed
Friel, ‘‘They really looked good tonight. They have come a
long way since we met them.”
At half time of the first game, Friel disclosed that lie had
‘‘figured Washington would lose three of the four games on
this trip" but stressed the fact that it was past tense. The
Cougar coach was effusive in his praise for the first half work
of Ralph Fuhrman, sophomore forward who played his first
game for the University and caused a mild sensation by calmly
tossing in ten points in a like number of minutes.
‘‘Where did that guy Fuhrman come from,” he asked.
‘‘Has Hobson been holding him out?”
We answered that up till then he had been ‘‘held out,” to
which Friel retorted, ‘‘He won’t be held out any longer!”
John Dick, all-American forward last year, had this to say
concerning Fuhrman . . . ‘‘He’s always in the right place. No
matter which way that ball goes Fuhrman somehow manages
to be right on it. lie seems to come from nowhere.”
Oregon State Coach Worries
The revival of the six-times beaten Webfoot five was no
source of enjoyment for crafty Slats Gill. With three more
meetings between the Beavers and Oregon, Gill figures the
Ducks to be a possible stumbling block in the path of his
thrice-defeated defending champs.
‘‘Your team should win again tomorrow night,” Slats
asserted following the first Husky game, ‘‘They have im
proved considerably since the Washington State, series, and
when they beat us in Corvallis.”
‘'Washington State looks like the team to beat now,” con
tinued Slats, ‘‘they have a well-balanced squad—they have
everything—the schedule is now heavily in their favor if they
can get tin* Huskies in the two-game series on the trickj
Seattle floor.”
Tony Amato Headed for Army
Tony Amato, football captain and guard at the University of
Oregon in 1938, returned to the campus yesterday for the ex
prescsd purpose of taking in the basketball game. Tony has
been working in Portland for the past few months. For a while
he was in the navy, shipping ont from Norfolk, Virginia. When
lie decided to return west, he took in as much of the eastern
scenery as possible while making the trip.
Hayward Calls Track Meeting
From Track Captain Fhlc lieber comes word that Bill Hay
ward, coach of Oregon teams for almost forty years, is calling
a meeting of all frosh and varsity trackmen in 101 P. E. Friday
at 3 p. m. A look at the calendar reveals that it won’t be many
more weeks before the cindermen. start training in earnest for
the heavy spring schedule.
llayward faces quite a .job rebuilding if he hopes to put a
formhidablc team into the northern division race. Whop such
1940 standouts as Kirm Storli, half-miler; Jim Buck, sprinter
and hurdler; Rod Hanson, pole-vaulter; and Boyd Brown, .jave
lin tosser finished their years of eligibility last spring, it left
a huge hole in the ranks of returning lettermen.

while he is on the campus. We have smart new
cameras, fresh films and many accessories, all at
very reasonable prices.

Ducklings Score
Twelfth Victory
Local Five Gives Yearlings No Trouble;
Gissberg Tops Scorers With 18 Points;
Rog Dick Slips in 14 for Freshmen
The University of Oregon Duckling hoopsters lidded No. 12 to their
list of wins Tuesday afternoon when they held a scoring bee at the
expense of the Eugene high school’s five to win by a 52 to 18 score.
The frosh had no trouble with the local lads and scored with ease
against the smaller and less experienced team.
Bill Gissberg took over the high scoring position in the absence of
Bob Newland, who is still in the
infirmary, with 18 points. Reg
Dick had a busy afternoon at the
hoop also with 14 counters. Mar
shall, Eugene forward, was high
for the high school boys with nine
points.
Gissberg Plays Well
Gissberg not only topped the
scorers but walked off with hon
ors for all-around floor play as
he hustled, stole the ball, and made
the afternoon a very miserable one
for the visitors.
The yearlings started out siuw
ly and built up a 9 to 0 lead be
fore Deller could put the Eugene
boys in the scoring column with
a foul pitch. The frosh contin
ued to run and had a 15 to 1
advantage before the Axemen
could score from the field. Mar-,
shall put in quick baskets to
bring the score to 15 to fi count,
but the frosh sank a field goal
to hold a 17 to G lead at the half.

crazy bedlam, with his acrobatic point-winner in the last 17
seconds that gave Oregon a spine-tingling 37 to 36 victory over
the dashing Washington Huskies.
With a minute and thirty seconds to go and the visitors effec
tively employing a fast-passing stall to preserve their one
point margin, Anderson, hobbling unsteadily on a badly injured
left leg was sent into the game with one thought in mind—
grab the ball and shoot.
HANK MISSES ONE
Every person in the Igloo, including the Washington players,
knew that Anderson was the man upon whom Oregon was rest
ing its hopes for victory. With the seconds ticking off at a
terrific rate the Webfoots finally stole the ball from the leaders
and dashed desperately down the floor. Anderson maneuvered
into position and cast off with a long shot, but to the despair of
Oregon fans, it fell far short of the goal.
Once again, the Ducks got their
hands on the elusive ball and start
ed driving toward the Husky goal
at a mad rate. Andrews took a
pass from Jackson, looked calmly
around, spotted Anderson and
whipped the sphere to him. Hank
took his customary whirl, leaped
high in the air and sent a rafter
scraping howitzer zooming through
the netting, putting Oregon on the
long end of the Jnost thrilling
game ever witnessed on McArthur
court.
When Slick Vic Townsend was
removed from the game with five
minutes left to play and the score
35 to 34 in Oregon’s favor, things
looked black indeed for the Web
foot hoopmen. Vic had played
sensational ball during the entire
game. His backboard play and
floorwork had enabled the Ducks
to preserve their slim lead. With
his expulsion, it looked like cur
tains for Oregon.

Intramural hoop action on the P. E. courts Tuesday packed variety
with everything from tigth one-point decisions to lop-sided counts
of some 28 points difference. Alpha Tan Omega’s undefeated hoop
legions carved out another Impressive triumph, this time ousting the
Sigma Nus, 24 to 14, largely on the basket tossing of Center Ralph
Dunn.
Phi Gamma Delta had the tightest squeeze of the day when they
came from behind to wrest a lb \

strong Sherry Ross five. After
trailing throughout the first half,
the hallmen initiated a rally which
put them ahead of the Fijis. The
Phi Gams closed in on their sec

minutes of the contest.
Sorsas Won Over Sigma
With Walt Weber swishing
through 15 points, the Sorsas
chalked up the most impressive
triumph of the day over Sigma

The Chi Psi lodge followed suit
by hanging up a 21 to 4 win over
