As Marks Broken Bv ELWIN PAXSON Two Nothern Division records were shattered yesterday afternoon in the men’s pool, as a talent-laclen band of Washing ton swimmers virtually assured themselves of another con ' ference crown by defeating the host Ducks 49-26. ' In the opening event on the program, the squad composed — of George Heaney, backstroke. Jack Powell, breastroke, and _ Dick Campbell, free-style, set a new conference record in the 300-yard medley relay, churning the distance in 3:01. This barely - eclipsed the old time established by Oregon in 1940, by .3 of a second. In the 220 free-style immediately following, the great Pete Powlin son, All-American sprinter last year, stroked his way to a new ~ N °.nd Pacific Coast record, bet termg a former high mark set in 1934 by fellow Husky Jack Medica. His winning time was 2:12.5. vanatta wins The invaders piled up an over whelming lead in the first four races, taking both first and second l in all but the medley relay. Bill Vannatta, husky Hawaiian prc< duct, finally handed his team a top spot by edging out Jay Foll - rich if Washington in the 100 free style, after the two opponents had v matched stroke for stroke almost - the entire distance. Oregon’s total was again given * a sizeable boost in the 150 back . ~ stroke, when Earl Walters and Pete Hill teamed together to rack up both first and runner-up. Wal ters finished several yards in the lead, but Hill was forced to pour on the steam to slip away from the Husky contestant. "■ The Aquaducks were presented — with an additional seven points in the 400-yard free-style relay, when the third Washington entrant was * disqualified for diving into the * pool before the preceding paddler had actually touched the end of the lane. : 300-yard medley relay—won by ■ ^ Washington (Heaney, backstroke; Powell, breast-stroke; Campbell, freestyle.

Beavers Third in Ski Event RENO, Nev., Feb. 20—(UP) — Three exchange students from Nor way put the University of Califor nia ski team in a commanding lead today with their winning perform ances in the cross-country event during the first day of the ninth annual University of Nevada win ter carnival. The trio, Lief Somerseth, Terje Jacobsen, and Iver Liche, finished one-two-three in a rugged three mile cross-country race run at Tamarack Flat above the 8,000 foot level of Mt. Rose.

Sports Staff: Fred Taylor Don Fair Elwin Paxson Glenn Gillespie Doug Hayes By DOUG HAYES Last year the University of Ore gon Ski club met with the Suskis of Oregon State and held an inter club ski tournament. As the Stat ers had a larger and more influen tial organization they took care of all the arrangements necessary for holding the meet. They went up to Hoodoo and set the courses, sup plied the judges, timekeepers and gatemen, and even went so far as to buy all the trophies. And when the apponited day came, what did the outnumbered Ducks do but win all the events and come home with all the awards. This year it is the only fair thing for the Webfoots to plan and run the (what is now becom ing an annual) affair, and that’s just what they’re doing. The date is set for March 7 and Saul Zaik, Ski club prexy, and his commit tees are well along in their prep arations. At the Thursday meeting of the Ski club, Bob Lions from the Ob sidians spoke about their annual ski meet which is to be held Feb ruary 29 at Hoodoo. Lions said that last year the Portland entries out numbered by far the local talent so if anyone from Eugene is in terested in entering the meet, en try blanks may be picked up at Hendershott’s. Next Wednesday and Thursday there will be a booth in the Co-op handling the sale of “Ski Oregon” license plates which will be spon sored by the Ski club. Tuesday’s Emerald will have a special feature pertaining to the above sale. Miss Dorothy Outzs and her ski classes will leave rugs and straw behind and take off for a weekend at Hoodoo where the practical part of skiing will be experienced. Good luck, girls! Watch for the particulars on some excellent ski movies to be shown Tuesday night at the Wood row Wilson junior high school. One of them displays the art of moun taineering on skis when roped to gether, which I would like to see executed. It will be snowing most of the weekend and trails will have to be broken. Why does it have to snow ... so long?

First National Bank Eugene, Oregon Serving Lane County since 1883 Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation All-Stars Humble Frosh Gagers,41-35 By GLENN GILLESPIE A red-shirted band of Intramural All-Stars rolled over Ore gon’s Frosh cagers 41-35 last night in McArthur court, in a preliminary game before the Oregon-OSC varsity game. 1 he IM basketmakers, with only a short practice period under their belts, lorded it over the Yearlings throughout the contest. Running up a 17-7 lead at the first quarter mark, the All-Stars hit for numerous long shots to pile up a 26-13 edtre Demaret Quits Orleans Open New Orleans, La., Feb 20—(UP) The sudden withdrawal of Jimmy Demaret, a red-hot battle over clubs, and a sparkling 67 shot by Fred Haas, Jr., of New Orleans today marked the second round of play in the $10,000 New Orleans open golf tournament. The fine play of Haas, whose clubs were the center of one con troversy, almost went unnoticed in the tourney's histrionic by-play, but it gave him the lead with a 36-hole total of 134. Tied for second were Bob Hamilton of Rey noldds, Ky., and Norman Von Nida of Australia with 139’s. Demaret, of Ojai, Cal., the lead ing pro money winner of last sea son, surprised everyone when he picked up his ball on the eighth hole and glumly announced he was “going fishing.” The flashy dresser refused to explain himself further. He shot one-over-par 72 yesterday and was doing poorly today. Haas’ clubs apparently didn’t figure in Demaret’s resignation, but they touched off a loud protest by Bobby Locke of South Africa, runner-up to Demaret for money winning honors last year. Junior Players Move to Cal Berkeley, Cal., Feb. 19—(UP) fcight junior college ant| high school football stars have, or soon will, enroll at University of Calif ornia, Coach Lynn Waldorff said today. Already enrolled are Dick Groger, all-city center from Wash ington high school in San Francis co; and quarterback Jim Green, 170, from San Francisco City Col lege. at the half. Jerry Ginzburg, high for the IM men with nine points, connec ted with three long, over-the-head two-handers in the first half to lead his squad. Hal Zurcher, play ing a top game, hit first for the dream team with only 40 seconds gone. Ginzburg added a pair of baskets before Don Peterson canned a free throw for the Frosh. The Ducklings scored only four field goals in the first half. The pace slowed in the third quarter, the Frosh scoring only four ponts, all on free throws, and the All Stars three, on a fielder and a gift toss. Led by Will Urban, the Little Ducks shaved the XM lead to six points in the final stanza, but Jerry Switzer’s left hand came to life for two beautiful pivot shots for the All-Stars. Jim Vitti’s team turned in a fair game, scoring mostly on long shots. They played a rough brand of ball that seemed to be new to the Frosh, controlling the all-im portant backboards most of the time. Glen Kelley, Bob Kehrli, and Switzer did a good job of tying up Urban and Bob Taggesell. Urban led his team in scoring with an even 10 points, followed by Peterson with seven. Switzer canned four of those pivot shots to claim second high for the All Stars. Kehrli and Darrell Hawes each scored seven for the Dream squad. In an afternoon game, the Frosh overwhelmed St. Mary’s of Eugene, 64-32.
