Duck Tracks By JOHNNY KAHANANUI Bleak, ribbed walls surrounded a barren floor where just a few minutes before roars rumbled through the tense air and swelled into a tumultuous crescendo as the gun banged a period onto the final line of the Washington Oregon make-believe finish. Jabbering fans had filed through smoke-filled corridors into the brisk night, but in the Igloo s basement there was drama being enacted. "W ebfoot warriors grinned as hot water poured from the showers and trickled off fatigued bodies. In their quarters a pack of whipped Huskies curled up and licked their wounds. “Lucky Hank!" the “Needle” nodded. A toothpaste ad smile bloomed on his rosy face while he reclined on a table in the Oregon dressing room. Over in the Washington quarter they had another “word” for it, a disgruntled snort that pumped oomph into a phrase that sounded nothing like ‘ ‘ Lucky! ’ ’ Husky Coach Hec Edmundson, apparently struggling against a siege of melancholia, dragged on an ash-tipped cigarette, as lie paced along the cold concrete floor in the visitors’ retreat. Over in a corner Iloopmen Bob Voelker and Bob Lindli stole glances at their sombre Chief with eyes that all hut shouted, “We’re sorry!” Townsend Misses Miracle Finish Vic Townsend, plopped on a bench in the Webfoot repair room, toyed with the scorebook and mused apologetically, “I must have played kin da’ dirty . . . gosh!” With but five minutes remaining in the game, the wiry Webfoot forward had fouled himself out of the fray (only No. 2 in his college basketball heydey). ..The payoff, Town send was excitedly pulling on civilian togs downstairs when teammate Hank “The Needle” threaded the hoop with his timely stitch to tack a movie finis onto that fairy-story struggle. Incidentally, Townsend left six pounds of perspiration scat tered about (lie Igloo floor Tuesday night after jigging all over the boards for 3.3 minutes. How They Stack Up Summarizing gruesome details of 1 he Huskies’ Oregon in vasion—Victories squirmed out of their snapping jaws like greased pigs . . . all four of ’em . . . and Hec Edmundson’s boys pooped into third position, behind OSC. Washington State’s Cougars lounged on top of the heap with six wins aud a pair of dunkings. Buddies on the bottom are Oregon and Idaho, the Ducks with three triumphs and six muffs, the Vandals with two victories and four dings. Via (lie percentage route, both spot .333 ratings. Vic Townsend clamped a half-nelson on the northern division scoring leadership as the Oregon Washington series became history, with Porky Andrews battling WSC’s Paul Lindeman for a grab somewhere about the midsection. Townsend has 99 digits for nine games, Andrews 76 for the same, and Lindeman 75 for only eight tussles. The “Big Bunvan” will probably coast past Andrews unless a broken leg lies him to the bench when the Cougars play their ninth game, but that lie'll roll abreast of Townsend is some thing beyond our ken just yet. Hoyman Grooms Mermen Swimming Coach Mike lloyman is bearing the loss of Stu Eandall, his prize sprint merman, philosophically. Instead of moping while his proteges splash around in the tank, the Duck Mentor is shimmying up Cub Callis and Jim Marnie in hopes they’ll be able to piece together some of the eggs that tumbled out of the sprint sack when Randall was waved the checkered flag on a technicality in the three-year varsity competition regula tion. Hoyman's swimmers are kicking and paddling into con dition for a dual with Oregon State in one of the rings of Saturday’s Dads’ Day sport “circus.” Spartan Mitt Meet Off; Rasslers Gird For OSC Duck Wrestlers Lose More Men; Tackle OSC Next Schluter, Kaschko Out; Wong Fills 121-Pound Gap By WALLY HUNTER A gang of spirited Webfoot wrestlers went back to work this week in preparation for an invasion by the Oregon State beavers, this coining weekend. This will be a return match with the Beavers and will find the Webfoots trying for their first win from the Beaverville boys. Although there was determina tion in the attitude of the Ducks they again had to take a double dose of bitter medicine. Hal Schlu ter received an injury to his ribs in the Oregon State meet Saturday that will force him from competi tion for the remainder of the sea son. Measles Dump Kaschko To top this off big Hal Kasch ko, one of the two Ducks to win at Oregon State, was thrown by the measles and will do his wres tling from an infirmary bed for awhile.

Donut Gals Swim Tonite Oregon mermaids await the open ing gun in first day of the intramu ral swimming meet at 8 tonight in Gerlinger pool. The second lap of the meet will be run off February 13. All women’s organizations have entered in the contest, Jane Mc Curdy, chairman, announced Wed nesday. Tonight's events include 20 and 40-yard freestyle, breaststroke, and backstroke events; and diving. Officials and judges for the meet will be members of the Amphibian swimming club. and a small charge will be made, Head Wrestling Coach Tex Oliver announced last week. The only thing that will brighten the Webfoots’ hopes for this com ing meet is the fact that Joe Wong. Koehler’s 121-pounder, will be available. Marnie, Callis Boost Oregon Swim Hopes Talk about hard luck and you are right down Jim Mamie’s alley. Jim is a two-year letterman from Hawaii on the Oregon varsity swimming team, and for two suc cessive years he has had trouble at his door. Last year Jim parked in the In firmary for a couple of weeks get ting over a case of smallpox, and this year, just before the OSC meet, he was recovering from the measles. But overcoming these handicaps, he has turned out to be one of Oregon's best point get ters in the sprints and relays. Another boy on the swimming team is Cub Callis who is turning into an "iron man.” This is his first year with the varsity and in his first meet he placed second in the 50-yard free style, won first place in the 100-yard free style, then coming back to swim in the 400 yard relay which was won by the Oregon splashers. Callis also swims the back-stroke event, and is developing very fast. Gerald Huestis, a two-year let terman, is the most versatile man on the swimming team, does ev erything except diving, this in Flowers for your best girls—your sweetheart — your mother — ami sis would love one, too. Flowers by wire. EUGENE’S FLOWER HOME Corner 13th <1 Patterson (UNIVERSITY FLORIST), Phone 6oi eludes breast stroke, back stroke, and sprints, and is a very capable performer in any of these events. Another two-year letterman is A1 Sandner who placed second in the Northwest conference diving championship last year. A1 placed second in the OSC meet but is expected to be in better form against the Aggies in Saturday’s meet. He is a consistent point get ter for the “Ducks.” Sprints and distances in the freestyle events and both relays are “duck soup” for Dick Allen who is enjoying his first year on the varsity. Allen is a sophomore and is expected to develop into a top flight performer in the coming year. These boys arc all working hard for the OSC meet Saturday in the Ducks’ pool. All-Campus Finals Near The second round comjietition in all-campus handball singles and doubles, ping pong singles and doubles, and bowling ended Saturday and the play is mov ing into the semi-finals. Second round winners include: Joe Wicks over Len Ballif, Bob Rudolf over A1 Shaw, Bob White Troubles Engulf Duck Ringmen; Geitner Mag Quit Orangemen Paste Corley's Webfoots; Riley Eligible Soon By STEVE WORTH Along; with n defeat at the hands of OSC, a tidal wave of misfortune engulfed Vaughn Corley and his Duck boxing squad over the weekend. Saturday afternoon, the Web foot sluggers were eradicated, 7-1, by Jim Dixon’s Beaver squad. Lat er Saturday evening, the San Jose State match was canceled. Mon day, two varsity mittmen ex pressed their intention of quitting, and yesterday Orlando J. Hollis spiked a rumor allowing boxers four years of varsity competition, San Jose Cancels Meet No reason was given for the cancellation of the San Jose en gagement. The Spartans will meet Oregon State at Corvallis Febru ary 20, and evidently the Califor nia squad feels that two scraps in one week is too stiff a schedule. Gil Geitner and Merle Hans eom have decided to hang up the gloves, according to informed sources. Geitner refused to fight in an exhibition against Oregon State, while Hanscom lost to Don Hawkins in a three-round, one-sided tilt. Hanscom was a varsity stand-out during 1988-89, having never lost a fight on his home grounds. Geitner came up from Oakland, California with a big build-up and no punch and lost a varsity berth to Wally ; Johnson. Jt'ete Kiiey, top nortnwest wei , terwcight, expressed the opinion that he will be eligible for varsity competition shortly.

Roy Rogers in “COLORADO” — Plus — DEAD END KIDS in “Qiyc IJc Wingc” Frosh Five Eyes Clash With Rooks By LEE FLATBERG Coach John Warren sent his Duckling hoopmen through a scrim mage session Wednesday afternoon, showing the hoopsters what is to be expected when they tangle with the rooks Friday night. Bob Newland, who has been in the infirmary for the last three days, returned to the fold, but a jinx again hit the frosh when Rog Dick was held out of practice because of a cold. The frosh will have to be In top form against the rooks as the state 12 beating to Sigma Phi Epsilon in the one-sided event of the day.

Although their record to date does not look as good on paper as does that of the Year lings, the frosh can plan on a busy evening. The rooks have won five out of seven games played. Their two defeats were at the hands of strong indepen dent steams. They dropped a game to McKee’s Bakery, 40 to 37, and another to Bradford Clothiers, 38 to 33. Glen Warren, Lewis Beck, and Ben Atwood from the agricultural college will bear watching from the frosh. In the games played so far this year this trio has account ed for 118 points. Warren will put his charges through their final practice before the game tonight when the Duck lings will do a bit of foul shooting and warming under the light on McArthur court.
