. . . Warren, shows coaches can
be rugged, too, as he frolics, clad
only in shorts, in Eugene’s un
usual snow.
With no classes Friday, Uni
versity students made merry in
the snow, broke windows, built
snowmen, skied up and down the
rolling hills of a local golf course,
and sncw-balled everyone they
met, professors no exception.
“Snow White,” the reclining
figure in front of the Phi Kappa
Psi house was one of the out
standing bits of work dene in
snow. This seven-foot long figure
was engineered by David Stone,
sophomore in architecture and al
lied arts, with the aid of various

Co-Sports Editor, The Emerald
Tall, dark-thatched Chuck Gilmur, Washington’s cool am?
collected center, went on a scoring rampage in the second half
to pace the Huskies in a sensational drive which shot them
ahead of Oregon at the Igloo last night, 52 to 48. Up to that time
our Ducks had things pretty well in hand and it appeared that
Oregon could repulse the Washington advances and retain its
> grasp on the northern division league lead.

Artistic Note
I'm afraid the traditional snow
man
Would soon be antiquated
If we could all sculpture out fig
ures
Like the Phi Psis have created.
—J.W.S.
It was a sad talc indeed insofa',
as Oregon was concerned. Hob
by’s great gang of hoopsters got
the opening jump when Bob
Newland flipped in a two-hander
from the right. Nip-and-tuck
from then on till the Ducky
forged into the foreground, IS
to 16, when Rolph Fuhrman
bagged two charity tosses with
nine minutes left in the half.
Boost Margin
The Webfoots pumped that
slim advantage up to six points
at halftime, 31 to 25. Oregon fans;
seemed confident that, although
the second half wouldn't be any
"easy pickings,” Hob’s boys would
be able to keep one step ahead' of
the driving, relentless Huskies.
Then Mr. Gilmur went to work
in a basket-making sort of way,
with his teammates rallying be
hind him in brilliant fashion. He
pumped in no less than six field
goals, which plus his first half
work, netted him 20 counters
high for the evening.
With the second half 13 min- •
utes old, the Huskies finally
nudged out the Ducks to grab
the lead firmly between then
fangs. Gilmur tossed in his third
one of the period and' the scorn
stood 41 to 41, Washington.
From then on the students of
Ilee Edmundson heaped on addi
tional markers and toyecl with
the ball as Oregon desperately
tried to gain control of the spher
oid and whittle the gay to within
