'B' Volleyball Hits Third Round
Phi Psis Ooze
Over Campbell;
Delts Triumph
Oregon’s “B” league intramu
ral volleyball tournament rushed
through round No. 2 yesterday
ar d found five favorites climbing
up the ladder and the underdogs
slipping down.
Phi Psis Win
The closest game of the day
was a nip and tuck battle be
tween tiie Phi Kappa Psis and
Campbell club. It took the full
three games to decide the win
ner.
The Phi Psis oozed through
the first game, 15 to 11, but
were checked in the second by
the Clubmen with the score the
same only reversed. The Phi
Phis bound things up in the
final tilt with a 15 to 12 win.
Miller, Larson, and Griffen
were the mainstays of the Phi
Psis with their sparkling defen
sive work.
Pi Kaps Downed
Pi Kappa Alpha felt the bitter
hand of defeat in two straight
games and the bitter pill was
dished up Delta Tau Delta style.
In the first game it was 15 to
10 and the second found the Pi
Kaps trailing, 15 to 11. Percyfield
and Giesy were the shining lights
in the Delt victory.
Sigma Nu Triumphs
The powerful Sigma N u s
pounded through for two straight
wins from the boys from Gamma
hall. In the first encounter the
Nu boys eased in by a score of
15 to 11.
In the final game the Gamma
Robinson Churns to Fore;
Oregon Splashers Work
By DON RICHARDSON
One of the finest exhibitions of
swimming yet this year was giv
en by Jack Robinson, sophomore
freestyler, during the sprint time
trials at the men’s pool yesterday.
His wonderfully smooth, powerful
strokes carried him to victory in
two of the most grueling races,
the 200-yard and 440-yard free
style sprints.
Following in his wake in both
events was the ex-breaststroker,
Jerry Huestis, trying his luck at
freestyling and doing very well
at it. Dick Allen, rotund letter
man, is continuing to improve
with each race and it shouldn’t be
-long before he gains his form of
last year.
V Irvin Sick
Handicapped by the illness of
sprinter Bob Irvin, Coach Mike
Hoyman was obliged to switch
Chuck Nelson, sophomore back
stroker, into the 40-yard and 100
yard freestyle sprints, leaving
Cub Callis to swim the 150-yard
backstroke by himself. Nelson is
slated for double duty this year
anyway, so the transfer was a
good test of his sprinting ability.
By the way, he won both dashes.
Hoyman even introduced a
couple of relays into the pro
gram so as to liken the trials
to a regular meet.
There are wild, very wild,
rumors floating around that he
intends to pit his men against
the Portland Boy Scout swim
ming team and possibly a
strong team from Vassar, a
swimming team of course. May
be that is the reason for his
strict training schedule.
All kidding aside, the boys are
really working hard; today they
take on a tortuous 1500-meter
grind to prove it.
guys sensed their hopes wan
ing and battled desperately
only to have the timer’s gun
end it all with the score, 15 to
13.
Baily and Sarpola showed some
smooth bits of team work for
the winners.
Chi Psis on Top
In an overtime game Chi Psi
lodge was played to a standstill
by an ever frightened Kirkwood
co-op team but finally emerged
victorious in two straight games.
The overtime score was 17
to 15. In the second and decid
ing game the lads from Kirk
wood lost their fire and the Chi
Psis thundered through by a
score of 15 to 5. The Chi Psis
were sparked by Johns and
Putnam.
Canard club marched up the
victors’ aisle the easy way when
the Zeta hall ball club failed to
arrive.

Hobson directed hks varsity in a

last night.
Boyd, Culwell
Prance Back
Into Lineup
By WALLY HUNTER
With the weather tuning a
favorable eye oh the situation
and two Mg days of rest behind
those Oregon Webfoots are
working with the new vim, in
practice, and their promises to
be a new spirit rampant among
the Lemon-Yellow gridders
when they tread the turf
against Santa Clara Tuesday.
After a heartbreaking let
down that for two games made
them doormats for the men
from Washington State and
UCLA the Ducks seemed to
have regained the stuff that
made them the toast of the
coast for four weeks.
For the first time in many a
day the entire squad has turned
out for practice. Frankie Boyd,
he of the lamed foot, is once more
cutting capers in the backfield
and according to Tex Oliver, is
looking fine. Val Culwell, who
for another four weeks has also
been bench-chained with an in
jured leg, was back at his old
left guard slot last night—but
things have happened since he
last donned a Duck uniform. Sev
eral other lads have stepped into
his shoes and' it wall be no easy
battle fto dislodge any one of
them.
Use Santa Clara Plays
Main dish on the Webfoots’
practice bill-of-fare this vreek has
been the plays cooked up by
Buck Shaw and used by his fa
vorites, the Santa Clara Broncos.
The Broncs play somewhat the
same style of football that Oliver
and Oregon use. Both teams use
variations of the famed Notre
Dame style.
Big Boom of the Santa Clara
attack is a 170-pound whippet,
Kenny Cansanega. He has been
the spearpoint of the bronc at
tack all season and has been
mentioned at various times for
All-American.
When the men from SC tread

Duck Hoopmen
Ramble Against
Rubenstein Five
By FRED TREADGOLD
Rubenstein’s Oregonians furn
ished scrimmage opposition for
the Duck varsity last night on the
Igloo floor in a wild, fast-moving
set-to. Scoring was not officially
recorded, although it appeared
that the Webfoots more than held
their own during the engagement.
The affair started out at a slow
tempo with the Rubes decidedly
outclassing the Oregon outfit.
However, once the Ducks, solving
the Rubenstein zone defense, got
into stride and soon overhauled
the ex-college ^stars and were
never headed.
Both Teams Open Up
Going in the final period both
teams opened up the throttle
wide. Oregon was very well Rep
resented in this scoring bee with
Sophomore Bob (Birdy) Wren,
turning into the “hottest” man
on the floor.
Separate units were used each
quarter by Hobby Hobson, Ore
gon mentor, and substitutions
were by teams, a la Southern
California. Fourteen squad mem
bers saw action, and all but one

the turf of Multnomah Civic sta
dium the very grandstand will
tremble beneath he hooves of he
red and white Broncs. They are
one of the largest teams on the
coast and will give Oregon a run
for its money in the way of beef
no matter what the outcome of
the game. The line will average
within one pound of 200 and the
backfield with little guy Sansan
ega in there will hit 190 pounds.
