Duck Tracks By BOB FLAVELLE, Co-Sports Editor If you are one of those die-hards that picked Oregon to win the northern division pennant and are now having dif ficulty explaining v/hy the Ducks are not leading the league, don t give up as yet, because mathematically the Webfoots still have a chance to finish on top. Of course, the possibility is very remote, but if Hobby liob sou s men should sweep their remaining four games (which in itself is far from impossible) and the Cougars should run into a losing streak, dropping four of their last five games, the late stditing W ebfoots would find themselves in a first-place tie with the Cougars with .10 victories and 6 defeats. But are you optimistic enough to believe that Washington and Oregon fetate both can sweep their two-game series with the league-leaders on the Pullman court? If so, you are truly a die-hard. The way this column sees it, Washington State stands a fine chance of sweeping the remaining games on her sched ule and in all probability will not drop more than one con test . . . that to the Beavers, Oregon on the other hand will have a tough time taking two from the Huskies at Seattle and splitting even with the lads from Corvallis. Les Steers Is on the Spot Les Steers really started something when he trotted out onto the boards of McArthur court between halves of the first Idaho contest and casually leaped six feet ten inches to unofficially break the former world’s high jump mark of six feet nine and three-quarters inches. On the following morning the athletic offices at McArthur court were beseigeil by phone calls from people who had missed the performance the night before, want ing to know if Les was going to jump again between halves of the Vandal game that night. bteeis created such a sensation in his iirst appearance before Eugene fans that it has been arranged to have him perform once again between halves of the final Oregon-Oregon State game at McArthur court, Thursday, February 27. Having once cleared the bar at six feet ten inches, Les will have the pressure on him to do as well if not better than his previous work. The hopeful spectators will most certainly be slightly disappointed if he should fall short of his former height. Truth Concerning Scribe Tilts Since there has been a suppression of news concerning the Emerald-Barometer basketball game scores of the first two games, several persons have been inquiring as to the outcome of said contests. After a thorough investigation of the situa tion, we have come up with the following information: In the first set-to, the Oregon scorekeeper announced at half-time that the correct score Avas 12 to 12. The Barometer team made three more points than the Emerald in the Avild second half and everyone, including the Emerald players, thought the Orangemen had won. But it seems that the Oregon scorekeeper was an honest man, and as any honest man would do, he checked over his figures when he arrived at Eugene and discovered to his dismay that the CORRECT half-time score had been 16 to 12 in Oregon’s favor and that the Emerald lads had won the game 28 to 27. The Refereeing Backfired Barometer folloAvers refused to accept the official decision of the scorekeeper so the game Avas called “no-contest.” Came the second brawl at Eugene, and it seemed that the Emerald team Avas in for an easy time. But for some reason, they made the mistake of hiring Oregon's own Bill Ilummcl to referee the game and soon discovered that there is nothing more discouraging that to Iiuac your oavu referee cross you up by turning out to be honest. Bill avus so honest that after the game be announced, I don 1 knoAv the lirst thing about refer eeing; I took turns calling fouls on the two teams.” As a result of Hammel s unbiased and off-center whistle toot ing, the Oregon five Avent doAvn to defeat, 27 to 2(1, mysteriously losing a 6-point lead in the last minute of play. (Perhaps the iaet that the trusting Emerald players alloAved the Barometer to keep score had something 1o do with the last minute spurt!) To the Army—Ed Oliver, Hornell, N.

High-scoring Bob Newland was back, and Warren, for the first time in two weeks, can breathe easier, with the know ledge that at least one-half of his squad pair is in suit. With Rog Dick and Bob Sheridan holding down the for ward posts, Bob Wren and Lloyd Jackson alternating at cen ter, and Bob Newland and Ken Simonsen at guards, Warren sent the team into plays that specta tors will probably witness in the next rook-frosh game Friday. Gissberg Lame Bill "Charlie” Gissberg is still hobbling around on a sore Charlie horse and it is doubtful if he will see much action in practice ses sions this week. With 15 games played to date, and 14 safely tucked in the win column, the frosh near the com pletion of their schedule. Two im portant games remain, the two games with the rooks. While the frosh hold the lead in the series this year with two wans in the two games played, the margins of victory were close. 20 to 18 in the first game, and 25 to 23 in the second. The yearlings have far to go to sweep the four-game ser ies. Although on the Inactive list for the most part of the last two weeks, Bob Newland still holds a strangle hold on the score sheet with 129 points.

The contest closed the regular season for the co-op “A” club with its achievements reading five wins and no reversals. By eking out a hair-raising one-point win over Sigma Alpha Epsilon, lb to 15, Beta Theta Pi moved one step nearer realization of a league crown. The SAEs, trailing five points with two minutes to go, managed to toss in two field bas kets, but could not get over the “knockout punch." It was a low scoring half with the Betas ahead, 6 to 3. No. 1 upset of the day came when P.E. club dashed away Delta Upsilon's second place designs by knocking over the DUs, 27 to 21. The loss dropped the losers to third place while the P.E. outfit hurdled into the runner-up slot. Kirkwood Wins Omega hall took one on the chin dealt by Kirkwood co-op 23 to 10, which propelled the Kirkwood clan into second place in their cir cuit. Adams, Kirkwood forward, provided the punch for the victors, with 13 points streaming through the hoop. With a “scoring bee" in Carlo A pa’s bonnet, Zeta hall romped to a top-heavy, 47 to 12, triumph ov er Sigma Alpha Mu. Apa ran roughshod to acocunt for 22 points -the highest individual total of this season. Teammate Harry Martini came in a good second in point-getting, finding the hoop for 14 points. H3rmie Harris, SAM footballer, was the whole show for the losers, heaving in 10 coun ters. The sixth contest of the day went to Sigma Phi Epsilon on a default by the Awful Awfuls.

Reich Mat Season Gets the Axe There was trouble aplenty in the Oregon wrestling depart ment yesterday, and when the smoke cleared away the I)uek wrestlers found themselves on the wrong end of a short season. Plans were progressing to send Stan Watt and Hal Kasohko to the northern division wrestling meet at Moscow, Idaho, March 1. Assistant Coach Lloyd Koehler said that the reasons for curtail ing the Ducks grappling season were “a lack of money” and a “lack of interest.” Two meets were left on the Duck schedule. The first | was with the Washington Huskies in Seattle. The other was the northern division meet at Idaho to which Watt and Kaschko will probably go. Lost Three The fast improving Webfoots had wrestled in three meets this season and lost three. Two meets were with Oregon State and the third with Idaho. Bad luck dogged the footsteps of Oregon officials from the sea son's opening. In the first place a meagre squad of sixteen men turned out for the team. Ineligibility, sick ness, and injury were constant wrestling mates to the Oregon , men. The Ducks held an average of forfeiting three matches ir ev ery meet. Two men were count ed out for the season, just before the opening meet of the year These two men were ineligible because of pre\ ious junior col lege experience. Kaschko and Watt Kaschko and Watt are the two most constant and capable per formers on 1 he Oregon team. Kaschko whipped his man in the first Oregon State meet, and id the Idaiio go He took a rest in the middle of the "season. ’ to grap ple with the measles and came out second best For two years Ka;;,'h * “ ***•■? Vas*' { " ■ — * v ' — v---. --- cf tie Oregon varst . Stan Watt, although he doesn't have quite so brilliant a record as his running mate, is one of the smoother Duck wrestlers. Watt came up from last year's fresh man team with a shining record and a build-up to match. Thus far he has been far from disappointing in performance. He threw his Idaho opponent.

Tomorrow they go on a corrective diet, with Coach Hobby Hobson culling the errors that crop out against the freshmen. Friday calls for breezing through a brief rehearsal. Then Saturday night the Ducks battle Oregon State at Corvallis. Should they weather the Beavers' best efforts to lull them into Duck Swimmers To Face Huskies In Seattle Meet Washington Heavy Favorites, Boasts Outstanding Stars Oregon's unbeaten p a d d 1 e r s leave Friday night for Seattle to do battle with the all-powerful Washington huskies. The Web foots, although unbeaten, will be decided underdogs in the match. 1 The Huskies, coached by Jack. Torney, have a well-balanced squad without visible weaknesses. They swamped the Oregon State Beavers in an early season meet and are heavy favorites to retain their conference championship. George Athens, Husky diver, is one of the best in the nation. He was Canadian national champ and competed in the 1936 Olympics. The rest of the team represents power plus. They have four free style sprinters of equal ability, Goldberg, Hiatt, Becker, and Hold en. Oregon small squad lacks the man power to compete on an equal basis with the Huskies. Jack Dal las and Sherm Wetmore, coast con ference record holders, will give the Ducks an edge in the back stroke, breaststroke, and the med ley relay. Again, however, the lack of man power will hamper the Duck splashers. The Oregon boys will hold their own in first places but the Huskies should pile up points from seconds and thirds. lethargy, the Webfoots will have tucked their sixth consecutive vic tory under, grabbed three in a row from Slats Gill's crew, and climbed into at least a tie for sec ond in the conference. Webfot Morale High Hobson expects the Beavers to be tougher than they were while being dumped by the Ducks twice earlier. However, the Webfoots are also bounding on a higher plane. They will have had a week in which to recuperate from their tangle with Idaho's walloping Van dals. Only last night the Beavers roughed it up with Forrest Two good’s invaders. Oregon State bore out Hob son's contention that they’ll l>e “tougher” by snatching Idaho on the rebound from the Igloo. The Beavers bounced the Van dals, 42 to 11), at Corvallis Mon day in a brawl marked with fowls, 28 of them. Idaho grab bed the lion’s share, 16, while OSC was caught 12 times. McNeeley Shines Intra-squad scrimmage kept the Webfoots on the gallop more than two hours yesterday with Evert "Red” McNeeley swishing the ball through from all over the place. McNeeley, a senior, ran into a flock of trouble earlier this year from sophomores who kept him [ glued to the bench during most of the games. More of yesterday’s [form, and Hobson will probably push him onto the floor for more action. Hank Anderson, idle against Idaho, appeared as spry as ever, in spite of his knee still being wrapped. The official world's outdoor high jump record is held by A1 Britton and Cornelius Johnson at 6 feet 9% inches. Lcs Steers of Oregon has done 0 feet 10.
