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.

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.

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?

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.
