Duck Tracks By BOB FLAVELLE, Co-Sports Editor Despite the fact that the University of Oregon basket ball team has in the past three weeks put on a terrific uphill battle to move from the bottom of northern division stand ings to second place in the league, interest in the team seems to have declined and the students are currently concen trating on weekend social engagements and almost com pletely forgetting that the Webfoots are in for a tough session with the second-place Beavers at Corvallis this weekend. Perhaps we are wrong, but it appears to us that since the two Idaho disappointments, in which the Vandals appeared to he more interested in hearing the referee’s whistle than winning the hall game, the student body has lost interest in the welfare of the Duck quintet. You can’t exactly blame the crowd for becoming disgusted with the Vandals. Heralded as a fine hall club with three of the division’s leading scorers in the lineup, the Idaho five performed like a hunch of liigh-scliool kids and at times the sportsmanship of the visitors was terrible. Oregon Faces Its Toughest Game The fact still remains, however, that the contest this Satur day against Oregon State is one of the most important of the Ducks’ remaining four games. Playing on the rival’s floor, Oregon will be up against a Beaver squad that is still very much in the running for the northern division crown and will therefore he fighting desperately to hang onto their hopes of winning the championship. In addition, the Orangemen will have a* personal score to settle with Oregon. After losing the first game by a 41 to 31 score at Corvallis, the Beavers traveled to Eugene, r and after leading at every stage of the regular playing time, saw their victory snatched from them by one of Hank Anderson’s midcourt, uncanny howitzers. This sort of treatment did not make the Oregon State bunch very happy and put them into a frame of mind where they now feel that to win this game and prevent the Ducks from taking the series, is of as great, if not greater importance, than winning the northern division title. So if Oregon wins the game tomorrow bight, it will be their greatest achievement of the year . . . accomplished under terrific odds and with very few friendly fans in the stands to cheer them on. (Because of the lack of space in the cramped men’s gym at Corvallis, but 50-odd ducats are available to Oregon students.) Boxing Bubble Bursts—As Usual What has happened to Oregon’s supposedly strong boxing team? It has disappeared, and not because of lack of interest on the part of the students hut rather because of the cool attitude the athletic department takes toward the building of the pugilistic art into a paying proposition. For most of last and all of this school year, boxers have worked out every afternoon under the supervision of Pete Riley, one of the best collegiate welterweights on the coast, looking forward to actual competition with other college teams, having been led to believe that other teams had been contacted and meets were sure to result, lint the athletes were fooled. As has been the ease for many years here at Oregon no attempt was made to line up matches for the boxers ahead of time. They waited until the beginning of this term, when other teams had a full schedule made out, before they tried to get matches for tin; Wcbfoot sluggers. Whenever a school considers appropriating a sum of money to an activity, they first investigate the possibilities that exist of the proposed activity paying for itself. That is what has happened to boxing. The authorities won’t budget money for a ring team because “boxing isn’t a paying sport,’’ and won’t appropriate money until boxing “be comes a paying sport. ’ ’ I ask you . . . how can any activity gain in student interest and reach a paying basis if the school will not give said activity a fair chance to get started ond prove its popularity?

The northerners, who boast an un beaten season to date, will be out to clip the Webfoot tail feathers in retaliation for the loss handed them by Oregon in their dual meeting last year. Three Wins Three victories have been salted away by the Ducks already this season. Idaho was turned back 53 to 25, while Oregon State received a double drubbing, 50 to 24 and 42 to 32. The Duck traveling squad con sists of eight swimmers, Coach Mike Hoyman, and Manager Cliff Sexsmith. Swimmers making the trip are Dallas, Wetmore, Huestis, Cub Callis, Jim Marnie, A1 Sand ner, Jim Harris and Dick Allen. Huskies Favored “Considering stop - watch times in meets held this year, Washing ton should take six first places with Oregon winning only three firsts,’’ Coach Mike Hoyman de clared. “However,” he quickly added, “if our team happens to explode and individuals rise to their best performances, Washing j ton will know that they have been through something.” Re-echoing their coach's words in actions, the varsity displayed convincing form in a practice meet with the freshmen and in eligibles Thursday. Especially note worthy were the neat jobs turned in by Co-captains Jack Dallas and Sherm Wetmore, in their spe cialties. Heading Washington’s vanguard i,s the point-collecting duo of George Athans, star diver, and Jack Ranquet, ace freest yler. Athans competed in the 1936 Olympics and at one time was holder of the Canadian national diving championship. A speedy 57 second record in the 100-yard free style is claimed by Ranquet. Orides Slap Sigma Kappa Orides team swept the Sigma Kappas off their feet yesterday, overpowering them 44 to 10. Ori des is unbeaten so far in the in tramural tournament. Hazel Oldfield, Orides, chalked up the Orides points as she tossed them in from anywhere.

Fll 535 Theta Chis, Kappa SigsCop 'A' Hoop Tilts; Kirkwood, Gamma, DU B’ Fives Win By TOM HUEBN'EK Intramural action on the PE courts Thursday saw the Theta Chi “A” team break its tie for second place with the Superchargers by shellacking unlucky Alpha hall, 42 to 8. Harry Bergtholdt, Theta Chi center, proved high point man with 21 points. In the remaining “A” league game, the Superchargers, although they fought a hard game, were dunked, 31 to 9, by a tough Kappa Sigma quintet. The Superchargers held the Kappa Sigs to a 7 to 7 tie in the first quarter, but in the remaining time they fell steadily behind. Dick Horne, Kappa Sig, was high point with eight. ‘B’ Games “B” league competition in Thursday's events consisted of Delta Upsilon, who defeated the, Chi Psi easaba squad, 24 to 6; Kirkwood co-op, who copped a 24 to 18 victory from Sherry Ross hall; and Gamma hall who trounced Zeta hall, 39 to 12.

Pursuing their third win at the expense of the Oregon State Babes, the frosh, on paper, loom as favorites, but follow ers of Oregon-Oregon State athletic events know well that past performances can be forgotten when the two schools battle. Ducks Eye Beavers, Drill on Free Throws Today Oregon basketball players skip through an abbreviated work out, well-earned after a bruising week of intrasquad drill and rugged skirmishes with John Warren’s frosh outfit. Tomorrow the Webfoots wrap up their fast-break offense, hike over to Corvallis, and dump it on Oregon State’s Beavers. “We’re in the best condition, the best we’ve been all season,” averred BOTHERS OSC Bill Borcher, Oregon forward, will be ready Saturday when the Duek and Beaver basketball teams play at Corvallis. Boreher is a de pendable rebound-nabber. Alexander Granovsky, associate professor of entomology at the University of Minnesota, is na tional president of the Organiza tion of the Rebirth of the Ukraine. Wellesley college has a war re lief workroom. Webfoot Mentor Hobby Hobson, and a peek at the Ducks rehears ing this week would substantiate this contention. Not only are the Webfoots in excellent physical condition to keep pounding through 40 minutes of fast break ing offense, but their morale ap pears impregnable. Hold Free Throw Drill Much of yesterday's practice session was absorbed in frec-throw rehearsal, as the Ducks straddled the foul line and took turns lofting the ball through the hoop. In the last Oregon State game, the Web foots connected with two more tosses from the floor than did the Beavers, but were sorely ineffec tive on gratis tries, nearly drop ping the game on that count. Starters Uncertain Whether Hobson will ^start, the combination of Vic Townsend, Bill Boreher, Archie Marshik, Don Kirsch, and Porky Andrews that purred along with finesse in the last Idaho series is a matter of conjecture. Hank Anderson has been plugging along all week, has apparently shed the soreness that afflicted his knee, and may get the call for one of the forward berths. Regardless of whom he starts, the Oregon coach will have a flock of capable men in Warren Taylor, Paul Jackson, Rolph Fuhrman, Wally Borrevik, and Quentin Side singer to wave off the bench should his starting five show signs of petering out. Southern California area of the University of California extension division recently added 17 new in structors. "i Attention Students!

A close look at the setup would indi cate that Bill McKallip's squad should have the favored seat. They have taken the short end of the scores with tha frosh for six games in a row, and tonight they will be out on the floor of the men’s gym with everything to win and nothing to lose. Close Games The past two games between the two teams have been close. Two points in the last few minutes of play decided the issue. The frosh grabbed the first encounter in the last few minutes of play when Bob Wren made a basket and Newland tucked the other game in the bag with just three seconds to go. Warren eased up on his charges Sherry, SAE Enter Finals Sherry Ross’ Walt Kaplan and Chuck Cutler pounded out two hard won victories over Kappa Sig's Walt Dickey and Buck Berry yesterday to move into the intra mural handball finals. Both contests were played nip and tuck till the Sherry Rosa boys finally eked out the necessary two out of three to place them opposite SAE in today's final playoff for the intramural handball champion ship. SAE topped ATO yesterday with Rhy Segale and Tini Smith win ning over Doug Hay and Jack Staf ford in the doubles and Marsh Hays over Len Isberg and Maury | Kelly over Gene Ceccini in the sin-1 gles. Thursday afternoon and let the ads take things easy as they took i few casual shots, dropped in a few foul pitches, and headed for the showers. Newland Ready Newland will be ready for the game tonight after a rest in the infirmary. Along with Newland in the starting lineup for the Warren men will be Ken Simonsen as his running mate, Lloyd Jackson at center, and Bob Sheridan and Bob Wren at forwards. The probable rook starting line up will find Ben Atwood and Hiatt at forwards, Glenn Warren at cen ter, and Lewis Beck and Bill Mc Cluskey or Bud McKee at guards.
