THE HUESTIS BROTHERS . . . . . . Gerry (left) and Ralph v.ho accounted for a good share o.f Oregon’s 89 points in the Northern Division tank meet. (Photo Courtesy Register-Guard) Favored University of Oregon’s swimming team Saturday night rushed off with the amazing total of 89 points to nab the northern division swimming title, in the biggest runaway win in the nine year history of this meet. Following sluggishly in the wake of the rampaging Oregon Webfoots was the once mighty band of Huskies from the Univer sity of Washington, with 35 points. Surprising Oregon State copped third place with 27 points —rather- astonishing in compari son with dual meet showings. Following OSC was Montana with 8, Washington State with 7, and Idaho ended things with 6 points. Robinson Churns Oregon’s sophomore free-styler, Jack Robinson besides banking up a total of 13 points, knocked into oblivion the previous record time in the 440-yard free-style. Robinson flashed his way over the course in 5:06, to better northern division mark rang up bv Bockman of Washington in Coach Mike Hoyman’s unde feated Webfoots marked up the most decisive win in the his tory of the meet, and in the do ing sent shimmering the Husky hope ef chalking up a record of four titles in four years. The Ducks nailed the lid on every first place—including the fancy diving. Diver Ox Wilson de feated favorites, Gailehcr of OSO, and Holi'insvvorth of Ida ho, to be the mainspring in the biggest surprise of the show. Oregon freestyler Dick Smith, also had a hand in upsetting the dope bucket by pushing Robin son to the record in the 440. Smith was picked as a rather un certain runner-up to the winner of fffat event, but at the conclusion of the .event was a mere arm's length behind the winner. Freestyle Relay Speeds The Oregon 400-yard free-style Basketball Meeting There will he a meeting' this afternoon in 101 PE building -or all men on the campus in terested in p'ajdng varsity basketball next year. The meeting will be presid d ever by C.oach Hobby Hob son. Frosh Basketball Piety res Today Aii members of the freshman basketball team and basket ball managers are to meet af ter the special basketball ses sion this afternoon to have pictures taken for the Ore gana. Basebaiiers to Meet For First Chalk Talk Varsity baseball’s first meeting will be held today at 5 o’clock in room 101 PE building, Howard Hobson announced this week. Coach Hobson requests a turnout of all baseball players, experi enced or not, at this initial meet ing. Missing from last year's crack outfit are seven veterans which means that positions will be wide open on the Duck nine. Biggest dearth exists in the battery where both pitchers and catchers are at a premium. Only two chuckers, both right-handers, will return from the 1941 club—Bob Rieder and Nick Begleries. Lanky Bob saw service mostly as a relief chucker, while Begleries started games on several occasions. Not in school yet but destined to enroll spring term is A1 Wi mer, crafty southpaw up from the freshman ranks. This will pro vide Hobby with his first port sider since Bob Hardy, now in professional circles. A big hole is left at catch er what with dependable Bill Calvert, 1941 regular, missing from school. Bid MeKevitt, a varsity reserve last season, Ted Piliop, a Portland U transfer, team clipped 6.4 seconds off the existing northern division mark, and the 300 yard medley relay team kicked the old record about and then removed 4.5 seconds from it. The 400 yard quartet is made up of John Mead, Chuck Weitzel, Chuck Nelson, and Gerry Huestis. Weitzel, Ralph Huestis, and Chuck Nelson, make up the 300-vard medley relay lineup. and A1 Peterson, from the frosh, seem to be the best bets for the backstop post. Other returning lettermen are Don Kirsch and Bill Hamel, in fielders, John Bubalo, Bill Carney, and Dick Whitman, outfielders, and Tony Crish, utility man. Frat Team (Continued front page six) kept adding to their total, and they seemed on the way to a runaway victory. The third per iod score was 22 to 9. Independents Come Back But the Independents, appar ently way out of the game, came back. Campbell’s Milt Small canned one from the side—Leo Welch, a fine all-around player, dropped in two long ones—Ken Inahara of Omega dribbled in close and hit over his shoulder, and in a few brief moments the margin had bden narrowed to 22 to 19. But here their drive ended. Big Murph hit another under basket field goal, and the scoring ended for the night. Final, 24 to 19 in favor of the Greeks, and the last minute rush of the Independents had fallen short. Greeks (24) (19) Independents Lansing, 2 .F . 6, Welch Murphy, 10 .F .

Hayward Issues Call To Oregon Trackmen By BIIjI, STRATTON Although distance men have been working out since last fall, Bill Hayward, track coach, has issued a formal call to cinder as pirants. “There are plenty of good men on the campus, if they would turn out,” Hayward re marked. “Now is the time, if they want to be on the team.” Hayward had counted on the high jumping department being the strongest this season, but fears it-will be the weakest. The loss of Les Steers and Bill Bei fuss leaves only one, Bob New land. Newland showed up well on the frosh squad last season, but may be stiff from basketball. There is one pole vaulter, Ho mer Thomas, a junior. The broad jump, discus and javelin events suffer from graduation. No one has been signed in these events as yet. In the Shotput Hayward has two men in the shct-put department, Fred Fos ter, and Chuck Elliot. Elliot is out for spring football, but Coach Hayward thinks he can use him iater. Ralph Kramer, a junior, runs the hurdles, but Hayward will attempt to convert him into a sprinter. Two other sprinters are Virgil Alexander, scpho more, and Ivenny Oliphant, a junior. Oliphant is out for spring football and it is possible that it will slow him down for the sprints, Hayward explained. For the 440, Hayward has two veterans and two sophomores. Francis Tuckwiler, a senior, and Ed Reiner, a junior, will be back. Stan Ray and Ken Sawyer are both sophomores and on the var sity for their first year. Half Weak Only two men have reported for the 880, and one of them, Bob McKinney, is in the infirmary with a possible attack of pneu monia. The other is Dick Shelton, who was on last year’s frosh squad. Distance men who have been working out since fall are: Wil fred Ross, senior; Tony Nick achcs, junior; Don Wilson, Skil licorn, and Bruce Maxey, soph omores.
