Teams Parade In Scrimmage Coach Howard “Hobby” Hob oon presented liis 1!) 4 2 varsity and freshmen basketball squads before the public eye for the first time in basketball scrimmage Tuesday evening in McArthur Court. The purpose of the scrimmage was to acquaint students and townspeople with the personnel of the Oregon hoop squad for this season. The squad was broken tip into four teams, according to their experience and skill, and rotated to play a six game pro gram. Each game was for a ten minute period. Team one was composed of all lettermen from last year’s squad, and proved to be the best Hobby lias to offer, al though an aggregation pressed them and forced an overtime playoff in one of the games. The first game was between teams one and four. Team four was made up of freshmen and sophomores with little experi ence, and the veteran varsity stars had little trouble beating them 27 to G. Bob Newland was high scorer with eight points. Sophomore Studded Team two was composed of all sophomores, with the exception of Wally Borrevik, Walt Reyn olds, and Warren Christenson. They are all eligible for the var sity and northern division com petition, but they fell to a gang of hot freshmen, 13 to 9. The only .sophomore on this third team was Wally Chullo, a transfer from Santa Clara who will not be eligible for a term. The third team played a fast brand of ball, and outclassed the more experienced players. Chullo and Wiley gave giant Wally Bor revik a bad time under the bas ket. In the next ten minute scrim mage, Hie third team gave the first squad a had time, ami forced them into an overtime before they would succumb to n 28 to 19 score. The score was tied at 17 all when the ten minute period was over. Newland again paced the var sity, potting them from every an gle. He la ill up a grand total of ten points. Caviness was the spark of the frosh gang with seven. Team 1 Taylor (5) Newland (10) Kirsch (4) Team 3 (5) Chullo (2) Wiley .. (1) Dick Fuhrman (5) . .

The second team won, 10 to (5. The fourth (earn came to life < in the fifth game and eked out a seven to si\ victory over the third team — the gang that forced the veterans into an ov ertime. This was only an eight minute game, and both were fighting for the ball desperately. Williamson and Bloomquist tied for scoring honors with three apiece. The last game gave the crowd a full picture of what Oregon lias to offer to northern division play this year, when teams one and two climaxed the evening’s entertainment. Team one tri umphed, 12 to 0. Warren Taylor Wren (4 ) .

And that, pigskir followers, is a .500 average or s fifty-fifty season. The first year men opened the schedule by bowing 0-2 to the Oregon State Rooks on the lat ter’s Bell Field stamping grounds. But the Yearlings climbed aboard the victory wag on with a close 7-G win over the Washington Babes. Bounce Soldiers And it was still victory-time when the frosh collided with the Camp White Engineers from Medford. The army boys were victims of a 19-0 white-washing. Last Friday night, the fresh men concluded their schedule in a not-too spectacular fashion by dropping another game to those unrelenting Rooks, 27 to 0.

Perhaps the outstanding mem ber of the unit was burly Benny Holcomb, tailback tri-threater, who led the freshmen’s offensive thrusts all season. Benny could run, kick, and pass with the best of them, and if Old Man Draft doesn’t blow a big' chill down his neck before next October, look out, Coast Conference rivals! Wheeler Shines Vern Wheeler, a talented full back, was called into halfback service last week-end when Hol comb’s injured foot 'would not stand the gaff. And Wheeler proved that he, too, knew how to handle a pigskin in three de partments outlined ahove. The backfiehl quartet was completed with Porter at quar ter, and Bodner at right half, neither of whom were sensa tional, hut never-the-less, con sistent. Tackle Don Stanton, and Guard Bill Hanna were perhaps the outstanding linemen, although ends Ralph Barnewalt and Hal Abelson came in for their share of the glory. A little more concentrated practice might have solved a few problems, but all in all, the 1942 edition of the freshmen gridiron machine was representa tive of Oregon.

Delts Capture LeagueTitle In *A* Volleyball Skirmish By defeating the Betas 15 to 13 and 15 to 10, the Belts an nexed the A volleyball champion ship of iiiair league yesterday. Other games were the ATO B squad over Phi Sig sextet, the SAEs over Omega hall in a B game, the Pi Kaps over Alpha hall by forfeit in another B match, and the Sig Eps ever the Yeomen via the same route in an A tilt. The series which gave the Delta their championship was a long ind hard struggle throughout with the lead varying back and forth in both games. Chuck Larson and Bill Hoyt led the winners while the main stays of the Betas Quent Side dnger and War reft Finke. In another heated' match thW ATOs finally downed a fighting Phi Sig six, but not until they had been extended to three games. The Phi Sigs won the opener after a terrific fight, 15 to 17, but they lost the next two, 15 to 5 and 15 to 8, after their co ordination broke down. Outstanding men of the game were Kim McKim and Pete Mil ler for the ATOs and Ed Wyatt for the losers. In the second B contest of the day that was played, the SAEs literally mowed down Omega hall, 15 to 0 and 15 to 1. Childs and Dimick led the win ners in their slaughter over the hapless independent team. Hobby’s Hoop Five to Display Wares Last night's bargain basement hoop opener, tree tor the asking, acted as a “sampler” of things to come. For in an effort to make you basketball bozos forget the big Thanksgiving dinners at home which you will be missing, Chef Howard Hobson has dished up a steaming, aromatic platter of basketball “goodies" which he promises to pass out Friday and Saturday at Mo \rthur court “dining hall." Dinner will be served at 8 o’clock both nights. Student body “Annie Oakleys” will get the campus population past the little wicker gate, whereas townfolks must dig deep in their jeans for the necessary coppers to cover the price of ad mission. The Ducks will get their bap tism under fire in no easy meth od Friday. They face a known and respected quantity in the Bruno Studio quintet of Port land. The Brunos kicked around as Bradford Clothiers last year, and copped the state AAU gon falcn under that monicker. Heading an impressive line of ex-high school and college greats are such boys as Mau rie and A1 Stremica, Dick Heli ner, and Bill Bohlman. The first-mentioned Stemicli, when a prepper at Commerce high in Portland, racked up a scor ing record of around 250 points, which has since never even felt to spend another evening watch ing' ten little men wrangle over the possession cf a round leather sphere, Hobby Hobson & gang, will be glad to entertain again Saturday eve. This time the opposition— Vancouver Ramblers —will have a decided height advantage over the varsity ducks. The starting five towers in the breeze some 6 feet 5 inches on the average, which means Oregon’s shorties will have to jack up their legs to gain an “even footing.” Well remembered around these* parts for the friends he made is the Rambler pivotman and ex Oregon State center.
