The clammy hand of ineligibility reached deep down into
the ranks of the University of Oregon’s varsity swimming
team yesterday and lugged off one of Coach Mike Hoyman’s
most prized packages. Ace Spring Man Bob Irvin was de
clared ineligible by Oregon Pacific coast conference represen
tative, Orlarido J. Hollis, on a charge of not having enough

by Mandic and Beck, and the

Final count, Washington 42, Ore

Washington canned 16 out of
49 pops from the floor, while
the Beavers dripped 14 through

Alpha, Zeta,
Kappa Sigma
Triumph Too
B\ ,T. SPENC EK MILLER
Competition got tough all of u
oiutdon *n the “A” basketball
league with a pair of torrid eon
test'., in which the Sigma t'his
leased out a big band of Fizzeds
lira an overtime period, 29 to 27,
end a gallant crew of pint-sized
Jilelts did not quite catch a flying
Awful Awful club in a dogfight
that ended 23 to 21.
Other games saw two indepen
dent teams come out of the dol
rtlrams to garner their first vic
tories; Alpha hall going over the
i- imraies, 38 to 19 in a scoring
t. \ and Zeta hall swamping a
\ eak Phi Psi squad, 32 to 7. In
S final game played, the Kappa
i'.gs, defending champs, looked
\ ry Impressive in trouncing Sig
*> o, hall 43 to 7. The SAEs won by
i ufeit as the Alley Rats failed
t . show.
Sigs Scared
An unheralded Fizzed team
jg tve the Sigma Chis the scare of
1 leir lives before going under on
Prank Baker's "sudden death"
l k< in an overtime period, 29
f > 27. It was 27-ali at the end
•of the regulation period.
The Sigs jumped out in front
early and held a slim lead until
near the end of the third period,
w hen Don Mabee and tllcn Kel
b \ combined to dunk three to
|).:$ I he Fizzeds ahead 23 to IS.
To ' game was intensely played.
and fouls were very numerous,
and play hard. Mabee went out
on personals at the start of the
fourth quarter.
Baker Provides Margin
The Sigs trailing, fought fur
iously, and came back to even it
up on a great exhibition by Frank
Baker. The time ran out with the
score sewed tighter than a drum
.at 27-all.
In the opening minutes of the <
overtime, Baker drifted into
the keyhole, took a sharp pass
from Dick Burns and swished
the net to provide the margin
of victory. The Sigs captured
the bail and played “catch”
with it till the time ran out,
despite the frantic efforts of
the Fizzeds.
Double A’s Nip Delts
The second feature lacked none
of the thrills of the first in a con
test that saw a second half rally
by the Delts nearly turn into a
victory over a superior Awful
Awful aggregation. But the clock
ran out, and the Double A's
squeezed by 23 to 21.
The Awfuls started out
smoothly, and with a rifle pass
attack led by Bill Craig, took
an easy 12 to 5 lead at half
time. Arne Jensen and Jack
Besse, A Y forwards with super
ior reach, kept the ball out of
the Delt’s range and dominated
the court.
The Delts hustled and kept on
the move constantly, but their
siyall stature was a handicap.
But in the second half this
hustle began to play dividends,
and the fighting Delts smashed
back to make it IP to 22. Chuck
Larson was a one-man Delt of
fensive and poured in 12 big
points. Lee Kilburg and Jerry
Battles stopped the Awfuls, and
outfought them for the ball to
feed Larson.
But old Father Time ran away
from the Delts with the ball in
their possession, and the score,
23 to 21.
Independents Triumph
The class of the independents,
Alpha hall, steadily pulled away
from the Sammies to win going
away, 38 to 19. It was close at
first with the halftime score
leading 15 to 21, but with Kay
Ito and “Yuke” Paris sparking a
smooth offensive, the Alphamen
ran up a commanding lead.
Harry Glickman, SAM guard,
who played outstanding ball,
tried to stem the tide, but he
had little support, and Alpha
poured it on. “Hoot” Bailey
played his usual line floor
game and fed the ball to Ito
and Paris who dunked 8 points
apiece.
Another independent club, Zeta
hall, had no trouble, thoroughly
beating a hapless bunch of Phi
Psis, 32 to 7. Sherman Olts with
12 and Walt Reynolds with 10
were top Zetamen of the day and
looked impressive. Big J. D. Me
AC HANDBALL
All campus handball sched
ules for this term are all set
to be run off. Participants
should get in touch with Paul
R. Washek, director of intra
mural and all campus sports,
immediately.
Gowan was a literal tower of
strength under the basket, and
never let the Phi Psis touch a
rebound. For the Phi Psis, Russ
Rohrer was again the only man
that showed anything at all.
Kappa Sigs Tough
A hot “scoring duel between
Jim Higgins and Bill Jameson of
the Kappa Sig club featured
their route of Sigma hall, 43 to 7.
In the first half it was all the
hairy chested Jameson, who
dropped in 12 points, but Higgins
took over in the second to put in
16 big ones. Big Jim was all over
the court to hit them from every
angle and edge out Jameson IS
points to 14. Joe Montag and
Floyd Rhea balanced a big tough
club that is going to be hard to
beat.

term nours to ms credit to De a
legal sophomore, and thus not
being eligible for the Oregon
varsity.
The lanky Irvin, who last year
was on the All-American swim
ming team, is credited with hav
ing only 31 term hours of school
work and the requirement is 36.
The Piedmont lad was being
counted on to take care of the
heaviest part of the load in all of
the sprints this year. His absence
leaves a gaping hole in the ranter^
of Hovman's Webfoot mermen
and might well send shimmering
all hopes for an Oregon northern
division crown.
Plans Messed
Coming on the eve of Oregon’s
conference opener with the OSC
Beavers, it leaves Coach Hoyman
with a set of badly messed plans.
The Beavers will invade the Duck
campus Saturday. Taking Irvin’s
place in the No. 1 slot in the
sprinting ranks will probably be
Sophomore Chuck Weitzel.
This still leaves Hoyman
with vacancies in the 100-yard
dash, and the 400-yard relay,
and there are only three days
remaining in which to groom a
replacement.
If all gce« well in the opening"
meet, Coach Hoyman will have
until February 7 to whittle out a
substitute. A return splash with
the Beavers is scheduled for the
Corvallis campus on that date.
Huskies vs. Ducks
Next meet — and one of the
most important of the season—
comes on February 17 when Ore
gon and the listed Huskies of the
University of‘Washington clash.
Coach Hoyman’s luck this
year with his ace paddle
has been nothing short of very
poor. First casualty was his
No. 1 backstroke ace, Cub C'al
lis, who failed to return to
school this term.
Add to this a promising crop
of fiosh mermen who made its
exit with the old term, and ^'ou
have a picture of a little of the
trouble that r as dogged the foot
steps of the genial Mike.

Orides, striding out in smooth

The girls go at it again today,
