(Courtesy Register-Guard) Betas Annexe Double Win The Betas continued their title march yesterday afternoon in the intramural volleyball games when both their A and B league teams at the expense of Canard club when both ball clubs came through with wins in their re spective leagues. The A squad' behind the mur derous playing of Sidesinger and Moller eked by the strong Can ard club, 15-12 and 16-14. Can ard club, no slouch itself, made a battle of it all the way and eng'\ ried the last game into an over-' time period. The brilliant net play of Clubber Widen kept his team in the ball game all the way. Previously the Beta "B" ball club had slugged out a 15-5 and 15-8 victory with Beard and Rathbun the main scoring aces. The game was very close with both squads playing a fine heads up ball game. Both Canard club squads had been beaten before with the two defeats virtually eliminat ing them from further title consideration. Sigma Nu knocked over the Delts, 15-8 and 15-11, as Nowling and Lingle continually smashed points over the net time and time again spiking vain Delt rallies. At that the losers made the Snake men know they were in tln«v ball game with all the Delt squd^ playing a steady game.

Off the Keeoril Yes, Homer, it is true that wo predicted an Emerald sports staff victory over the Barometer sports staff in a basketball game. That was before we knew that the Oregon State varsity was going to rally to the Barometer cause. So rule that one out. The season average to date is .6U7, or two-thirds of 21 games picked, which is 14. Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent in stantly recognizes genius. Terrific Touchdown Tempo Waxes Wallowing Webfoots By BILL STKATTON Oregon State may luive been hot amt the Oregons off, but nev ertheless, a ileeisive seore of 39 to 3 was the worst beating Oregon had ever been handed by their nort^rn neighbors in the 49 years of competition, and one of the most embarrassing Oregon had been given this season. The only one that topped it was the 40 to 0 beating administered l»y Southern California’s Trojans just a week before. Analyzing' the situation, there appears to be nothing4 good the Webfoots did all afternoon. They went all out to make OSC’s homecoming' a success, and most certainly did. True, they weren't held score less, but a boner on the part of substitute back, Bob Libbee made it possible for the Ducks to walk off rain soaked Bell field with the feeling that they weren't "skunked." Instead of batting a pass down on the two yard line where he caught it. he tried to evade a host of Oregon tack lers, and was dumped in the end zone for a safety and Oregon's lone two points. Oregon had one chance to score, and with the help of a penalty and the accommodation of Lon Stiner, the hapless Web loots were held for downs. Oregon had the ball on the Ore gon State nine yard line and ad vanced to the five when Stiner sent in his first string to hold the Ducks in check, and they did. To help matters no little bit for Oregon, Tommy Roblin was sent to the showers and Oregon was penalized 15 yards. And the only Duck scoring threat was stopped cold.

OSC played more like the team that went to the Rose Bowl and upset Duke than a sec ond rate team of 1942. They were hot. and the Oregons were off— definitely off. Injuries hardly make a valid excuse for the loss. Most of the Webfoots were in shape to stop the Beavers—at least hold them to a smaller score. Oregon players missed blocks and tackles galore.

We thought we had run upon a practice of last year’s Oregon State varsity, northern division champs. The scene: Men’s gym, Corvallis. The occasion: Emerald-Bar ometer basket ball game. The participants: For the “Baro bull sheetA everyone in particular. Results: Baro 46, Emerald 30 (according to the messy and eligible “hen scratches” by the Corvallis sports accountant). Yep! “Writing" and playing for the Baro were two old cronies from last year, Messrs Sam De ment and Jack Mulder. That was good for a starter. All they needed now was “Slats” Gill, John Mandic, Louie Beck and Don Durdan to complete matters. And before you could mut ter “We-wuz-robbed” twice who should pop out from be hind covering but the “Slatted One,” engaged in tutoring some OSC youngsters in the rudiments of b-ball in a gym class. Chummy, wasn’t it? We understand that “Jarrin’ John" Mandic, he of the ape-like features and actions, just couldn't possibly make it as he was all set for the big football game that afternoon. “I’m so sorry, especial ly since you boys came all the way from Eugene,” “Jarrin’ John” whimpered as he dunked a crumpet into a “spot" of tea and looked longingly to the south. Beck Dozes Little Louie Beck, another member of the 1941 Beaver var sity, couldn't be reached. He had attended a reusing Roy Rodgers rip-snorter the night before and had evidently fallen asleep in the process. Fifth musketeer from last year’s club. Don Durdan, voted most popular man in Eugene re cently. had since graduated and was now hoeing turnips in the “SCRIBE ’ MULDER . . . . . . his baskets helped. field of his father’s hacienda in Eureka. As far as the game went, it didn’t gc far enough! The Em erald quint was a symphony of finesse, speed, and beauty. All they lacked were a couple of var sity regulars.
