Staters Tumble Ducks
Ip Third Series Game
The forces of Oregon tumbled big
“Red” Rocha ran amuck for the
visiting Staters’ five and the Beav
ers wrinkled noses with glee at a 59
to 45 triumph over their arch
rivals from Eugene for their sec
ond win in the third of the four
game series played in the 1946
season.
Honors for breaking the scoring
ice in Saturday night’s game at
the Igloo rests with the Ducks.
Forward Marv Rasmussen bent,
followed through with a free toss
and the lemon and green colors
were wevad in the temporary lead.
The Beavers quickly pulled a
scampering comeback. Glenn War
ren tallied, Anderson dropped grat
is shot, Rocha followed Crandall
yiribbled far and flipped for a score.
Anderson received a toss while un
der the bucket and twisted it in,
andthe Ducks’ stock fell.
Webfoots pulled an old second
half splurge, climaxed when lanky
George Bray swished four free
throws in a row, bringing the score
to 33-34 in favor of the Beavers.
Then Red Rocha got his breath
back after a painful elbow jab by
teammate Glenn Warren in the
first minute of the second stanza,
and Orangemen rolled.
With 14 minutes to go, the big
Hawaiian caged a free toss, then
scored a tip-in on a short by Ber
nie McGrath. Ted Henningsen
brawled around and pushed in a
field goal—the Oregon rally was
squelched.
In four minutes 40 seconds, the
Beavers dropped these nine points,
placing them in a comfortable 10
point lead position. Staters stayed
on the scoring path for the rest of
the game, until the final 14-point
margin.
Plucky Captain Bob Hamilton
showed the wearing effects of an
old leg injury during his stay in
the game. Floor work and a bol
stering effect on his Webfoot team
mates add up to more than his
game point total for the night..
The win places Oregon State in
the top rung of the northern divi
sion ladder in the Pacific Coast
conference. Ducks and Beavers are
headed now for an invasion of the
Inland Empire, with a six weeks
wait before the final game of the
civil war series.
Oregon will tangle Washington
in Seattle next Friday and Satur
day, while the Staters meet the
Quinn-led Idaho Vandals twice,
then travel for two games with
Washington State, recently
strengthened by the return of Gail
Bishop.

Around The
. Clock
With Duke
By DUKE DENNISON
The scramble for top ratings in
the N. B. A.’s fistic system will
reach its peak this year, with
some of the best of the leather
pushers back from the service.
The “Heavies,” who usually run
amuck with most of the heavy
publicity, are at it again. The top
bout of the season has been in the
making by Mike Jacobs for quite
a while, and will bring Joe Louis,
“The Brown Bomber” and current
heavyweight champion, together
with Billy Conn, foremost chal
lenger, in a 15-rounder at Madi
son Square Garden, the scene of
most of the championship battles
of the world. However, consider
able detail has yet to be ironed out
between the contestants and the
promoter before the initial bell
sounds.
Near Champ
Conn will be remembered best
as having fought such a valiant
battle with Louis in his only other
crack at the title. Conn outpointed
Louis up until the 13th round, and
then, throwing caution to the
winds in an effort to win via the
knock-out route, suffered a knock
out instead. The boys are keyed up
for this bout, and are working
hard daily to round into shape.
Louis, in his comment as to the
method he expects to employe in
again flattening the Pittsburgh
kid, has stated that he expects to
knock his opponent out, rather
than to attempt to outbox him. He
admits that Conn has youth and
speed over him, and expects his
ring savvy to stand him in good
stead in this fight.
Conn hasn’t come out openly as
to methods to be used in winning,
but there is not a bit of doubt in
anyone’s mind, as to the type of
battle to be put up by curly-haired
scrapper.
Halftim Antics
Please Court Fans
By LYNN SMITH
Oregon really went all out to
wards making the Saturday night
game against Oregon State as
interesting aa possible. Besides the
scheduled game, the spectators saw
quite a bit more than was adver
tised.
As soon as the half-time gun
sounded and both teams left the
floor, Oregon’s football squad
stumbled on to the court amid
much acclaim and fanfare. Headed
l?y such outstanding players as
Walt Donovan and Ab Wilson, the
boys quickly formed two teams,
one clad in football jerseys the
others settling for shirts and
sweat shirts.
For a brief moment the two
teams eyed each other and then
the mad scramble of “Ball, ball,
who's got the ball?’’ began. Every
known rule was followed—and
many unknown rules invented.
Basketball, baseball, and es
pecially football was briefed in
about ten minutes. Practiced

Paddle Win
Over OSC
The Ducks emerged from the
waters of the men’s pool over the
weekend with a smashing 64 to 10
win over Oregon State in a dual
Northern division, Pacific coast
conference swimming meet before
a capacity crowd in the natatorium.
The Webfoot mermen splashed
out first places in every event of
the afternoon’s meet, including the
medley and free-style relays. The
visiting Beavers, who showed a
lack of tank experience, took
home two second places and four
thirds.
Callis, Sundlie Shine
High scorers for the meet were
two double winners, Cub Callis, a
letterman who won the 60-yard
free-style and 150-yard backstroke
events, and Alden Sundlie, smooth
stroking freshman who touched
the end of the tank first in the
100 and 220-yard free-style races.
Trailing close behind the two
leaders in the scoring race was Val
Robbins who took first in the 200
yard breast-stroke and shared
diving points with Willis McCul
lough. The Stifters forfeited the
diving, leaving the two Ducks to
give fans ap exhibition.
Coach Vaughn Corley even
placed his team manager in the
splashing tussle Saturday, and
John McGee stroked out two third
places for the Webfoots. Even
with the smashing win the swim
mentor is not building up big
hopes.
No Records
No outstanding times were re
corded in the meet, but this is due
to a change in positions just be
fore the meet. At the last minute
Bob Hiatt, outstanding dash man
was declared ineligible and forced
a shuffle of men in different
events.
The Readers showed little com
petition against the Webfoots, and
the backstroke event turned out
to be a “workout” between Calli#
and Bob Prowell, the other return
ing letterman. The opening medley
race was taken by the Ducks by
more than two lengths, the 220 by
a length and the locals were long
splashes ahead of the Orangemen
in all other races.
Next tank splashing for the
Ducks will be this weekend against
the University of Washington mer
men. lit pre-war years past the
Huskies have always proved to be
the stiffest competition for the
Webfoots in their battle for con
ference honors.
