i i i ■■ ■ ■ Duck Tracks By JOHNNY KAHANANUI Hooray for spring, spinach, et al. And while we ’re waxing jubilant, let’s donate a few mild gurgles to Washington State. Jack Priel’s Cougars stumbled over Oregon State twice in their opening basketball jousts, then gathered their battered hides off the boards and retailiated with a 12-game win wave to pluck the championship berry in 1941 northern division hoop competition. Still obsessed with the spirit of giving, here's a towel on which backers of “wrong” teams can shower their blatant wails. OSC Vandals Split Oregon State, struggling to outdo Oregon, made a clumsy thrust at second place Tuesday night, as Idaho’s floudering Vandals squelched the Beavers 42 to 35 in Mos cow. However, the Corvallis bogey men shuffled around last night and clubbed Forrest Twogood’s five 41 to 32. Oregon Forward “Slick” Vic Townsend is shy 33 points of erasing Wally Palmberg's “official” northern division scoring record, and the “Slick” one totes a lemon “33” on the green playing jersey draped over his back. Hawaii Calls Ducks Hawaii calls, and at least seven Webfoot cagers and Coach Hobby Hobson will be bobbing towards the islands comes March 28. Unless the “Tall Firs’’ bend under the flood of Hawaiian hospitality, they should give basketball fans way out thar’ something to stare and gulp at. Oregon's playing is certain to arouse more than 1 lie tepid enthusiasm wheedled out of island fans by Oregon State's in fernal waltzing last year. Spectators will lap up that fast-brealc stuff. Their concept of college ball is a combination of dribbling that virtually scorches the floor, passing that throws your eyes out of gear, and basket-popping nothing short of miraculous. And if there’s any team on the coast that can appease their appetites on these scores, it’s Oregon. Swim Roundup Unless that deadly maggot, ineligibility, worms its way into swimming ranks again next year, Mike Hoyman should have a terrific squad all cranked up and ready to churn loose against northern division competition. Loss of Sprinter Stu Randall early in the season deflated the swim unit this year, but with frosh stars Bob Irvin and John Mead grad uating to varsity ranks next year, things will probably brighten up for Oregon. Irvin’s 18.6-second 40-yard freestyle splash against Uni lli February 26 unofficially doused the Pacific coast record by .5 of a second. His 53.4-second 100-yard freestyle swim shaved .1 of a second off the national mark.

Four Webfoot seniors — Vic Townsend, Bill Borcher, Evert Mc Neeley, and Hank Anderson—will be playing their last game in northern division intercollegiate competition Saturday night. Huskies’ Court Lousy It's a lousy court the Ducks will be playing on in Seattle, a floor with “hard” and “soft” spots. However, should Hobby’s lads sweep the Huskies up north, they’ll have cleaned the series, having already bumped Hcc Ed mundson’s quintet twice in Eu gene.
