- DUCK TRACKS By BERNIE HAMMERBECK Sports Editor The stuttering 1947 Oregon Ducks close their not-so good season tonight in their fourth try at the Oregon State beavers. It is the end cf the 1947 basketball civil war, but it is more than that. Can the Beavers sweep the four-game series? An eight-and-eight record, third place, ending the season with a win. and a variety of other aspects are shoved far into the background, when the Beavers from up the val ley step on the court tonight. Not since the 1933 OSC coast champs have the Orangemen been able to sweep the series. And never have they been able to pull the trick against Coach Hobbv Hobson. ning. They’re on top. The Web- BILL ANDERSON toots are down. They have little love for their “southern branch. And they will be seeking to re-establish a record that was somewhat smeared last weekend when thev staggered through the Inland Empire winning two and losing an equal number. Webfoots Want to Win The Webfoots, however, have even more incentive for winning. They have been a hot-and-cold machine all year. They were early tabbed high, but slid to the bottom in short order. The Ducks have one good OSC game to their credit —the first of the year when they fell 74-69 in an overtime. Theirs is the opportunity tonight to preserve a record now 14 years old—four straight to the Beavers—never! hour Ducks will be playing their last college game—Bob AN ren,# Roy Seeborg. Ken Hays, and George Bray. All but AVren were on hand last year to knock the Staters out of the championship in the final contest. Bray was on the team in 1944 that administered four straight lickings to the Bevomen. Theirs is another big job tonight. Bill Anderson Back in the States Big Bill Anderson, the blond Swede from Scappoose, and 1945 regular on the Oregon grid team, is currently back in the state, but still in the navy. Bill is stationed in San Di ego and home on leave. One of the state of Oregon’s out standing prep prospects, he spent but one term at Oregon before answering the beckoning finger of Uncle Sam’s navy. AVhile a prepper, Anderson was named to the All-Ameri can high school track team as the No. 1 discus man. He car ried away the major portion of the state meet hardware in the weight events winning the discus two years and dropping the shot put event by less than an inch. The big Swede expects to remain in the navy until early 1948, which means he should be back for track next year. At present he is burning up San Diego maples as a basketball star with several high school all-staters riding the bench on the same team. Though not working out strenuously he has hurled the discus out around the 135-foot mark in a few prac tice heaves. JOIN ....■■■■■» ■ Thank you for your patronage RED CROSS DRUGS «* 68 W.

ND Swimmers Vie in Seattle University of Oregon’s varsity swimming team is doped to fight it out with Washington State College for second place in the northern di vision swimming meet in Seattle today. The unbeaten University of Washington Huskies are top-heavy favorites to run away with the lau rels. Coach John Warren’s swim mers, beaten only by Washington this season, are expected to have a battle on their hands with the WSC Cougars. The Webfoot swim team emerged victorious over WSC in a thrilling meet here on the campus once, but gained their victory margin through a viola tion of rules by a member of the Cougar squad.

Montana will enter a five-man team, Oreogn State College eight, Washington State 14, Washington 18 and the Webfoots 10.

Corbett will be making an at tempt to remain the diving crown which he won in 1942. Oregon State’s Ray Staub is the only plunger that has given Corbett any trouble in meets thus far this season.
