Ail hail the Awful Awfuls and
Sigma Chi!
These were squads which final
ly cleaned out all opposition to
come out on top in their lespec
tive “A" and “B” ranks.
In two fast, hard fought
chapionship tilts yesterday
afternoon, the Awfuls smashed
another fighting independent,
Sherry Ross hall to the tune of
>0-21, while at the same time in
another court the Eiignm Chi
Bees nosed out Omega.Jiall, 10-12,
Awfuls Mum to Rivals
The “A” game score did not
really tell the true story as
Sherry Ross bitterly contested
tli ■ play all except for the last
,'tO seconds when they eased up,
permitting the Awfuls three
f|' ick baskets. Only a point or
two separated the teams most of
the way, with the victors out
ahead lti-13 at the half.
Confusing, to say the least, was
C' iach Bob Mickey’s two sets of
twins in the Rbssmen's line-up.
They were also unique in having
a manager come out with “vur
nity" wet towels to cool the boys
off during' time-outs.
Outstanding lYrsonalilla*
The Awfuls’ ace point-makers
w re somewhat off their usual
stride as they missed several lay
in shots, but Johnny Carr shone
as a mighty sweet guard.
F->r the hall, Harold Unkeles'
coal swishers and the all-around
p: iy of Benny Hamilton were no
ticed by the fans.

Phi Betas New
Four-Wall Champs
In a series decided by fate, the
Betas overcame a stubborn DU
foursome to take the 1943 intra
mural handball championship,
two matches to one.
Paul Beard and Frank Jacob
son scored a doubles victory over
Bob Schott and Don Dilling to
put the Betas out in front at the
first. Then DUs Ed Moshofsky
came back to even the series by
edging' out Bob Duden. One
apiece and one to go.
Dick Rathbnn and Les Ander
son were putting up a ding-dong
battle for the other singles match
when the student-body proxy
turned his ankle, and that meant
the game, the match, the series,
and the cup for the Betas.

Duck Swimmers Go North
For Crucial UW Battle
By KOI.IJK GABEL
In “V” formation, symbolic of
the spirit of the Oregon swim
ming team, the Ducks make
their seasonal trek to Seattle to
have it out with the all-powerful
Husky squad tonight at 8 o’clock.
This dual meet, that promises to
be foam filled will be the tough
est either team has yet met dur
ing the season, and the finishing
tally will be close either way it
turns out, either Husky or Duck
may be on the high side of the
score.
Allen. Smith, Gautier, Nelson,
Huestis, McAuliffe, Hoffman,
Prowell, and Tugman are the
men on the traveling squad.
Teams Compared
Comparing the two teams, the
Husky squad shows more season
ing with quite a few more letter
men. On Oregon’s squad there are
four lettermen. Dick Smith, two
year, Dick Allen, two year, Ralph
Huestis, one year, and Chuck
Nelson, one year. Washington has
seven. Belete, one year, Denning,
one year, Promfret, one year,
Athen, two year, Kauquet, two
year, and Henderson, one year.
Comparing- the records of both
teams to date, with nine dual
meets having been swum off be
tween the two since 1933, Oregon
has won six and lost three, and
the Washington team has won
three and lost six.
Just during the reign of Coach
Mike Hoyman, which is a total
of eight years Oregon has taken
five meets with the University of
Washington, and dropped two,
and the Washington team has
won two and dropped five.
Huskies Favored
Yet with these statistics Wash
ington students are giving Ore
gon students two to one odds on
Oregon. The Washington paper
has claimed that this year’s
swimming team is the strongest
one that ever came out of that
institution.
The colors that the Oregon
team are carrying up to Seattle
will be a shade more green than
yellow because of the compara

margin between the teams all
evening.
Bad Luck
Taking a number of floor shots
without success the Ducks seem
ed to have lost their eyes for
several minutes as Roger Wiley’s
great defensive work under the
basket held the Beavers in check.
Stan Williamson finally broke
through the middle and in under
•the basket to score a set-up and
break the basket famine.
With five minutes left to play
in the half, Coach Hobson inject*
ed new blood into the Oreg™
lineup in the form of Newland.
Wren, Taylor and Borrevik. Not
at all disturbed by the new fac
es, Oregon State promptly in
creased their lead to 17-11.
Come Back
However, this new combina
tion seemed to posses what was
lacking in previous play as Wren
suddenly broke loose and netted
two field goals and a free throw
in a short minute.
A basket by Erland Anderson
was matched by Warren Tay-'
lor and Popick came through to
shove the Ducks out in front for
the first time, 20 to 19. This
lead was short lived as Beck pot
ted two quick baskets to give the
Beavers their half time score of
23 points. Just before the half
ended Popick caged a one-hand^
er to close the gap to two point^^
Second Unit Starts
Starting the same quintet that
left the floor with the exception
of Williamson for Newland, Hob
son's charges went to work ini
nS'diately. Bob Wren tied the
count after Williamson had suc
ceeded in stealing the bail from
Durdan. Popick then moved in
with another and the Oregon cag
ers were out in front. '
The game was tied as Glen
Warren sank a long shot from
the corner. Taylor, after being
fouled, made his free tcss and
Wally Borrevik broke into the
scoring column with a tip in.
A flurry of OSC shots all
missed until Durdan sank a pair
of free throws. Popick, after in
tercepting a pass from Durdan,
broke loose and sank another sot-^
up to make the count read 3.0
to 27.
Zone Defense Sparkles
At this point Hobson’s smooth
working zone defense really took
hold and the Staters found the
going tougher. Wren stretched
the lead to seven points with
mne minutes left to go, with an
other one-handed hook shot.
A two-minute lull in scoring
was then broken by two quick
field goals by Cecil and Beck.
Hobson sent Wiley, Fuhrman and
Kirsch back into the lineup to
team with Wren and Williamson,
Rolph Fuhrman increased the
lead up to four points and it re
mained that way until with four
minutes to play, Taitt sank an
other for Oregon State.
With the pressure on, Kirsch
broke through the state defers Jk
and scored to make things readm
36 to 32. Time was slowly run
ning out and the Beavers began
to put on more pressure as Wi
ley's tip-away style of play
proved demoralizing. Anderson,
who proved to be a thorn in the
side of the Ducks all evening,
