Dribble Demons Part of the secret of Oregon’s fast moving offense lies in its guard ' Supply. The Webfoots are equipped with four veteran speed merchants in the guard slots this season, who are in and out of the lineup re ■ peatedly to keep up the scorching pace. Reedy Berg (above), is back for his fourth year of varsity action at guard, while Bob Lavey earned his letter as a freshman flash last season. NOTICE L G.

Joe Ready To Battle Jersey Joe POMPTON LAKES, N. J., Dec. 2—(UP)—Champion Joe Lewis disclosed his supreme confidence of retaining his heavyweight title against Jersey Joe Walcott Friday i night by signing contracts today for $80,000 worth of “champion’s appearances” in London. Should Louis lose his heavy weight crown, the London appear ances automatically will be can celled. The London venture—which will prevent another Louis fight at Madison Square Garden in March I —was announced just before Louis hammered through four fast rounds with three sparmates before more than 300 spectators. When asked if the cancellation of his proposed March bout in New York indicated that he might re tire, the champion grinned and re plied, “I expect to fight again in June, if I beat Walcott. What’s ev erybody want to retire me for, anyhow?” Louis said he weighed 213 pounds before today’s workout, and he ex pected to scale 212 for the bout— the heaviest he ever has been for any fight. He said, however, that the extra weight had not slowed him up. GRENLOCH, N.

FOR ONE WEEK ONLY xft6Q in? stl; Webfoots Take Tilt (Continued from pai/c (our) although Wiley at times snatched rebounds like a world-beater. The Ducks had little chance to open up with a running game, as the carefully-instructed Pilots played a deliberate brand of ball. The Oregon five of Williamson, Bob Lavey, Wiley, Bartelt, and Kenny Seeborg showed the most tire of the units used by Warren. But speed was of little value where points were concerned. Wiley was runnerup for Oregon with 11 points and Bartelt scored 8. Winters of Portland scored 9 and Leo Grosjaques, a sec-shot spe cialist, canned 8. Oregon has one more home ap pearance this term. The Ducks will entertain Willamette University at Mac court December 10. See box score page 8. By AL, PIETSCHMAN Nurse: “Doctor, every time I bend over this patient to listen to his heart, his pulse increases. What should I do?” Doctor: “Button your collar.” SKI SCENES: Seems that a large part of the campi was up on the slopes of Mt. Hood over the holidays. Seen there on the slats were George Bell, Bob Oas and Nancy Fitzhugli. Bell wasn’t quite as at home on the snow as on the gridiron but was getting the knack of the sport. According to CARL GREVE, Jeweler in Portland, quite a few students dropped into his fancy store over the holidays. You can’t find a better place than at Carl’s for gifts. SPORTS: The hoop team rolled into high gear on its first trip and the boys are shaping up. However, nicknames have been added to sev eral of the hoopsters. Bob Lavey is now known as “Scrapbook” La vey. And Trainer Tom Hughes picked up the monicker “Teacups.” There’s a story about Bom Don, but we’ll save it for another issue. CAMPUS: Norm Morrison is the proud possessor of a new Chevro let. Take it from Norm it is the only cream and green one on the quad. SKI SCENES: Also seen at the mountains. Don Londer and Sandy Kowitt. Both boys looked pretty tired and the lodge beckoned to them just like it did everyone else. Blue Ox wasn’t open during the hot hours either. Newest spot to have your clothes cleaned is the CHARM CLEAN ERS, 1469 Willamette. They have ultra modern facilities and are stressing “Quick Service.” That we need around here. Phone 6109-J. CAMPUS: Seems that a large portion of the student body also spent time in the Portland City libe over the weekends. Just hap pened to drop in there on a little tour and saw Marty Pond scan ning the papers and Dotty Wight man surrying around for advertis ing notes. If you were like some other studes, you probably missed the service of RENELLS during the holiday. Well, you can make up for last time now. Just writing about it makes us hungry. Chili beans at the house today. Ugh! CLASSES: The gals have a spe cial ski class this year. But what about the men. D«n't tell us the school is going to renig on us—we want instruction too. Especially when it is for credit. MOVIES: Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis are the stars of the current flicker at the MAYFLOW ER, “Spirit of West Point.” For football thrills by Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside this is the film.
