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.
The Pi Kaps snapped a two
game losing streak when they
ran over the Galla hall sextet,

was before we knew that the

So rule that one out.

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.

“Scrappy" Rhea was booted from

The Beavers scored at will.
There seemed nothing the Ducks
could do to stop the rampaging
Staters. 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.

I'BARO’ BORROWS \
j B-BALLERS, WIN |
They told us it was the Barometer hoop team, bat that was hard
for even our twisted minds to believe. 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

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.
