Emerald Barometer Quintets Clash
-Ducks Engage
W.S.C. Tonight;
Vandals Monday
The varsity cagers under the
wing of Howard Hobson conclude
their 4-game series with Washing
ton State tonight at Pullman,
Washington. Prior to last night’s
contest, number three in the books,
the two clubs were batting 50-50,
each having one game this season.
Tonight’s contest is regarded as
somewhat of a toss-up, neither
club holding a definite advantage.
Hobson will rely again on the
sharp-shooting eyes of Durable
Dick Wilkins land Captain Bob
Hamilton. The senior guard has
been rapidly rounding into form,
and he may hit his peak in to
night's melon effort. The Ducks
will again be on the defense for
the highly-touted Gale Bishop who
scouraged the local pinewoods with
a 32-point spree on his first out
ing this season. Bishop was bottled
up against Oregon State recently,
and the Hobsonmen are hoping
that he won’t break out in another
high-scoring rash.
At the conclusion of tonight’s
contest, the Hobsonmen move to
Idaho for a two-game series in
midweek in Moscow. At this writ
ing, Idaho is in the driver’s seat
for annexing the Northern divi
sion title, and in order to safe
guard her rapidly dwindling chan
ces for the precious bunting, Ore
gon will have to trounce the Van
dals both nights. The varsity con
cludes its basketball schedule with
_t£e last game in the series with
Oregon State, at Corvallis a week
from tonight.
Coach Hobson will undoubtedly!

champs at Pullman last night.
floor the same lineup that has
proved effective of late: Wilkins
and Rasmussen, forwards; Hays,
center; and Hamilton and William
son, guards. Fairly certain to see
action are Roy Seeborg, Reedy
Berg and George Bray. Walt
Kirsch, Frank Hoffine and Bob
Kuhrli are still other Duck re
serves who will be biding their
time on the bench, waiting for the
clarion call to action.
Beavers-Huskies
While the locals and the Cou
gars are scrapping, the Oregon
State Beavers will be braving the
Seattle front, which is manned by
a dangerous University of Wash
ington quintet. Oregon State will
have to dump the Huskies twice
or else suffer the loss of ground
deep in the championship fight.

Scribes Schedule
Slaughter at Igloo
By Carl Cluff
Scheduled to take the floor at
10 a.m. this morning, the Univer
sity of Oregon Emerald sports
scribes will mesh basketball gears
into high speed when they tangle
with the Oregon State College
Barometer’s typewriter - pounding
crew from the Corvallis institution
in what is promised to be one of
the outstanding athletic events of
the current season.
Co-coaches Len Turnbull and
Fred Beckwith announced that fi
nal preparations had been com
pleted for the “gigantic” and a
telegram from the farm yesterday
revealed that the Staters were all
set to pitch baskets with the fast
moving. high - scoring Emerald
gang.
Reiman Proselyted
The Barometer squad has been
labeled an unknown quantity since
little information is available con
cerning their previous record. It
is known however, that the Orange
neophytes have secured the serv
ices of former all-state prep star
Bob Reiman for the contest. Lanky
Russ Sackett, 6 foot, 3-inch Ba
rometer sports editor, and Bob
Knoll, former Corvallis high ca
saba ace, are expected to pace the
Beaver boys.
Still gloating1 about their upset
victory over the strong Law school
quintet last Saturday, the “Shack
rats” have been ruled slight favor
ites in today’s game. Cohorts
Turnbull and Beckwith have been
running their charges through
stiff workouts all week and pre
dict that ace columnists Kenny
Hume and Chuck Taylor will do
everything but toss type and gal
ley proofs through the hoop.
With such capable reserves on
the bench as Duke Dennison and
Bill McLennan to relieve the first
edition, Bull and Beckwith will be
able to substitute freely. The loss
of Larry Lau, Emerald “hoss rac
in’’ and turf expert, will handicap
the typesetters considerably, but
additional support has been round
ed up from the “shack” and Turn
bull stated that the team will be
set to stomp all over the Beaver’s
tail.
Officials for the game have not
been chosen yet, the Emerald man
agers announced. Pending the ar
rival of the Barometer team on
the local scene the arbitrators win
be picked by mutual consent of
the two team managers. Any po
tential official under considera
tion must produce his draft card,
honorable dischargee and certifi
cate of eligibility and cannot be
enrolled in the Agriculture college,
according to the rules laid down
by the Emerald editorial board.
Manager Beckwith remarked
that the game will be open to the
public and all students are urged
to attend the game and support
the undefeated scribes in their
second contest of the season. “If
the kids hit ’em like they did last
week against the Law school”
chortled Beckwith, “we got this
one in the bag.”
Jim Jeffries
Progressing
From Stroke
Burbank, Cal., Feb. 22—(UP) —
James J. Jeffries, 70-year-old ex
heavyweight boxing champion
under treatment for a stroke, was
progressing satisfactorily tonight,
Dr. William Nethery said.
The rugged old champion, who
knocked out such challengers as
Jim Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons
before he retired undefeated, was
found in his room unconscious
Monday night by Joe Eagan, a
long-time friend.
When taken to the hospital, he
was unable to speak or move his
left side.
“If everything goes well, he
should be able to leave the hos
pital soon and be back on his feet
in a few weeks,” Dr. Nethery saidi
