r DUCK TRACKS By KIRK BRAUN t (Note: Kirk Braun, general handyman of the Emerald, spent last weekend at Corvallis, covering the sporting events on an assignment. He herewith gives his personal account of activities * in the rival fort.—Ed.) » There was quite an array of athletic entertainment at Aggie ville over the weekend, and while there (on a photographic ^assignment) we took in a total of three basketball games and the Oregon - Oregon State •swimming meet. Two of the hoop games, of course, includ ed the two clashes between the Beavers and Huskies in which the Beavers showed their teeth and roared to the top of the heap in Northern Division play. After their Friday night dis ( play of incredible speed and uncanny accuracy, no one ex ROGER WILEY ,cept the most ardent Aggie rooter expected a repeat perfor mance on the following night—but repeat is exactly what they did. This improved Beaver aggregation, highly superior to the ’team that the Ducks nosed out in the first encounter between the two fives, ran faster than any Slats Gill team we have ever jseen—including last year's championship squad. Evidently, Mr. Gill has seen the light and decided that the fast-breaking race t horse type of basketball play was the only answer to his lack of height this season. State Floor in Bad Shape Beaver fans showed a little disgust at times when officials failed to call traveling on a Husky who slipped on the dusty ’floor attempting to stop suddenly. As usual, the Oregon State court was in terrible condition. Not only does it show no evi idense of having been painted since last year, but there seems to have been no atempt to remove the heavy layer of dirt and > dust that has accumulated. The floor was not even dusted between halves. * Among the spectators for the series were Webfoot coaches “Honest” John and Don Kirsch and some of the members of the Oregon team who went up to look over the Oregon State squad before leaving on the Inland Empire trip. Roger AViley expressed visible delight whenever an Aggie player was detected fouling Jack Nichols, the high scoring i Husky center. And he had plenty of chance to cheer, for the big point-getting Husky was fouled repeatedly by the two and three Beavers who were swarming over him constantly in an effort to keep him in check. • Duck Swimmers Win Again AVhile the score was not as decisive as in their previous match ! at Eugene- the Oregon swimmers had little trouble in defeating their cross-valley rivals Saturday afternoon, to the tune of 52-23. The only first place that the Beaver mermen could garner was in diving, with Ray Staub, the defending Northern division champion, winning over the Webfoots’ Willie McCullough. One of the diving judges, however, was obviously relying on the other two when awarding points. Several times he was crossed up when holding up scorecords because he apparently thought his colleagues were pulling up different cards. Rooks Finally Get Beaten In the other athletic contest of the weekend at Cornvalley Milwaukie high school’s Maroons (plug for the old home town) handed the Rooks their first defeat of the season, 33-30. Ted Loder, eagleeye Milwaukie forward, looked terrific racking up 21 points. Loder, who is a senior this year, is going to look mightv good to some college freshman coach next winter. Provided the Milwaukie squad can get by its District 13 rivals, local fans will have a chance to see young Loder in action when the State high school tourney gets under way at McArthur court March 6th through the 19th, pro viding that final exams which come in the same week don’t interfere.

Nestor, Betas, Minturn, Sammies SPE/ Sigma Nu, Fijis Win in l-M TODAY’S SCHEDULE All “B” games 3:50—Phi Sigma Kappa vs SAE^ 4:35—Kappa Sigma vs Chi Psi; 5:15—ATO vs Delta Upsilon TODAY’S HANDBALL Legal Eagles vs Omega hall By JOHN BAKTON Tuesday’s basketball at the P. E plant saw six games completed with thrills and spills for all. Re sults were: Nestor hall 23, Cher ney hall 19; Beta Theta Pi 30, Min turn hall 11; Sigma Phi Epsilon 29, Lambda Chi Alpha 12; Sigma Al pha Mu 20, Delta Tau Delta 8; Fiji 18, Campbell club 6; and Sig ma Nu 12, Phi Delta Theta 8. Using a tight defense and a hard-driving offense, the team from Nestor hall downed the squad from Cherney 23-19 in the only “A” game. Cherney was troubled throughout the game with a lack of height, and this proved to be the winning edge for the Nestor quint, who led at half time 13-3. Beta Theta Pi rolled over an inexperienced team from Min turn hall in the second game 30-11. Stag Lines SPORTS: Brad Eklund is jumpy these days. Ask him about the sun lamp experience. Seems Brad does n’t trust the lamp and when it pinged a couple of times he was ready to take off through the wall. While he was perplexed, fellow ath letic friends could hardly keep from laughing. Honestly Brad, the ma chine won’t explode. FASHIONS: Well, men, here it is. We might as well expect a lot of razzing from the gals because the men's wear retail trade is countering the women’s “New Look” styles with their own “Bold Look.” That’s right, the “Bold Look.” You are going to hear a lot about it in the future. So you might as well get used to it. Most of the merchandise will not be released until April, but the latest issue of Apparel Arts, a retail trade maga zine, has the complete scoop. Here is the inside dope on what to expect in clothing: Shirts are revamped. They will feature what is known in the trade as the “Command Collar.” It is a widespread collar with just a bit of a roll and its seam is a line of bold stitching set a half-inch in from the edge of the collar. The same bold treatment is giv en to the center pleat down the front. The buttons are bigger and easy to finger. The French cuffs are longer and wider and use big ger links. Neckties feature bold stripes, a full 3 inches wide, bold polka dots, and bold figures. Shoes are also in the bold pat tern. They are heavy and rugged, reflecting, as the manufacturers put it, “the American ruggedness.” The general announcement to the public will appear in April's issue of Esquire. Keep your eyes open for it. Something new for the men at last (although we wonder how the college man is supposed to fi nance it.) What with the bold look coming up, we might say that if you need any jewelry accessories, we sug gest CARL GREVES, Jeweler, in i Portland. RADIO: Tonight Perry Como sa , lutes the disc jockeys in Detroit and will play their current top tunes. SPORT: Seems Pat Wohlers en joys the whirlpool in the training room. Some of the boys say that ■ he doesn’t use it just because he has a sore leg. Is that true, Pat ? —Pd. Adv.) The Betas played hard and fast, driving all the way. High for the Betas was Chuck Kitchel with ten points. Sloppy ball handling featured the SPE-Lambd'a Chi game, an the Sigma Phis came out ahead, Sigma Alpha Mu swept the hand ball games yesterday from the Beta Theta Pi squad. The Sammies won three straight in the singles and doubles matches. 29-12. The ball was stolen and re stolen as play grew more lax in the final minutes. Dick Northam of SPE topped scorers with 11 markers. A fast, accurate band of cage masters from Sigma Alpha Mu over a quint from Delta Tau Delta 20-8. Most of the Delt scoring was done from the foul line. High for the Sammies was Harold Light with five points. Phi Gamma Delta defeated Campbell club in the next game 18-6. Half time score stood at 6-4 in favor of the Clubmen, but the Fijis roared back to cinch the win. Ray Heidenrich dumped in nine for the winners. Sigma Nu downed a fighting Phi Delt team 12-8. The score at half time was tied at six-all, but the Sigma Nus put themselves ahead in the third quarter. High ;nan was Phi Delt Dick Garret with seven points.
