Ducks Ready for Huskies ^ sic sk sk sk iPoolmen Step Up Workouts This week the Men's pool has •V>een a bee hive of activity with the Varsity team under the watchful eye of Coach John Borchardt going .through its paces in preparation for Ahe conference opener with Oregon .State this coming Saturday at 2:30 l>. m. in the University pool. This will be the first official meet for Che Ducks this year and their sec ond in all, after this close loss to ■a supercharged group of freshmen and transfers last Saturday. Starting last Monday the watchword has been “sprints and more sprints” to get the men in shape for this meet and others to come in the succeeding weeks. Many of the varsity swimmers showed by their performances of last week that they were not in the top shape necessary for com petition and Coach Borchardt has set about remedying that at Once. The starting lineups are still in doubt as the team has not shaped down to a point where one man can the singled out for any particular event. With the toughest meet of the season only three weeks away, Washington at Seattle, the Ducks iliave a lot of priming to do. Hiatt Returns Bob Hiatt’s return to the pool this week has raised the team mo rale. Hiatt will hold down the top ,4,'pot in the distance events for the yoming ND race. Jim Stanley showed class last Saturday in the diving event and jlio will most likely lead off in that event with Willie McCullough as ids running mate. Stanley will also ,$ee action as part of the four man ,relay team by virtue of his fine .showing last week against the frosh. This will aid the shuttle event and give the Varsity added jouth in the surints. Louis Santos will probably swim with Hiatt in the 220 as well as the J.00 and anchor the four man relay. Santos has not as yet rounded into .ahape and the longer events will likely improve his sprinting' ability. A Newcomer In Sprints The sprints will see two regulars iuui a newcomer, namely George Moorhead and Tom Nekota with George Batch, who this past week jlias shown plenty of hustle and will give the veterans a ride for their money Saturday in the 60 yard free .trt.yle. In the back stroke the varsity .will pick two from either Stan Har graves, Earl Walter, or Bob Prow ell to carry the brunt of the load. It is impossible that Earl Walter might swim the 200 yard breast against his old rival A1 Van Etten and if so Hargraves and Prowell -w ill hold down the Backstroke slot. In the breaststroke division Kod iH.irman is the number one man .otosely followed by Art Baxyly, promising' sophomores. Harman v ill swim the leg on the Medley Re 1 iy and both lads will team up in tli ■ longer individual event provid ing that Walter stays in the back stroke department. The varsity is definitely up for ils opener in an effort to some what atone for the defeat at the Rands of tiie “upstarts" last Sat urday. Although it is too early in tlie season to predict times, tiie alUrer of swimming may be high ti lth the Beavers in for a rugged afternoon. With 99 political parties. Italy is worse off than this country, which w.vsn’t know what to do with three. t Heads for Huskyland BULLET BOB LAVEY and 11 Webfoot teanur.ares neaa ior ine Husky lair in Seattle this morning. Used alternately with the first and second quint, the slender junior is one of the fastest men on the Oregon squad, and will get a chance to display his wares against Washington Friday and Saturday nights. Cassill, Clark Swap Versions OfAlleged'QuarterbackBuying' SEATTLE—(AP)—The Univer sity of Washington's athletic di rector said yesterday he had asked the Pacific Coast conference com missioner to investigate Nebraska Athletic Director George tPotsy) Clarks remarks about “quarter back buying" by an unnamed west coast school. Director Harvey Cassill said Clark’s comments “unmistaka bly linked Washington with the case,’” although he didn’t iden tify the school. In an interview Dec. 23, Clark discussed the “futility of buying athletes.” He said a west coast school whose quarterback signed a professional contract just before the 19-18 season started, decided “something must be done- and quickly." “So a junior college quarterback who had shone in a post-season game was called in by an alumni group," Clark added. “He was pre sented with $3,500 and great things were expected of him. The deal became known and the con ference in which the team plays slapped a $3,500 fine on the school. So, the total cost of this one play er was $7,000." LINCOLN, Neb. (AP)—Univer sity of Nebraska Athletic Director George (Potsy) Clark said yester day he had not written with an spirit of malice when he stated he knew of a west school fined $3,500 by its conference after an alum ni group paid $3,500 to a boy who transferred from a junior college. “If Washington takes offense at my comment, they have my apology," Clark said. ’’There was Handball Results Campbell club annexed a for feit game in handball yesterday when Phi Sigma Kappa failed to appear at game time. no spirit of malice toward any school or any individual in what 1 said.” Clark had based his article on his belief “The More You Pay, The Worse They Play,” insofar as fi nancial rewards were made beyond provisions of the NCAA sanity code. Sluggish Scrimmage Leaves Coach In Dark About Traveling Squad By DICK CRAMER A long- two hour workout highlighted yesterday’s basketball scrimmage, as John Warren worked his cagers in preparation for the coming invasion of Seattle and a two game series with the University of Washington. Just who Warren will take to Seattle was uncertain at press deadline. The long scrimmage yesterday was ragged, and the Webfoot mentor was hesitant to name a full squad until he had considered the matter a lit tle closer. Warren did list the starting unit of Bgrtelt, Ur ban, Wiley, Sowers and Neel ey as certain. Also making the trip will be Paul Cooper, Bob Don, Don Peterson and Bob Lavey. Three more will be chosen before the team leaves this morning. Warren worked the entire squad, using several combinations. He in dicated that he intended to stock with his usual lineup of forwards Jim Bartelt and Will Urban, cen ter Roger Wiley, and guards Paul Sowers and John Neeley. That combination worked very well to gether against Idaho, and should be hard for the Huskies to handle. White a Key to Outcome The big key to the series will be Sammy White, ace Washington forward. The smooth junior sprained his ankle against WSC and has been hampered with it since then. However, Warren re ceived word from Seattle yester day afternoon that White will be available for some duty, though how much is not known. He holds the main responsibility for making the Husky attack click, and his loss against the Cougars was dis astrous. Art McLarney, Washington coach, has been using several other units, in case White is unavaila ble. Three starters are certain. CAMERAS and Photographic Supplies LaDon Henson will hold down one forward post and Andy Opacich is slated to open at one guard. Cap tain Bill Vandenburgh will start either at center or forward, de pending upon the rest of the line up. Vandenburgh Alternates If Jim Mallory, the tallest man, i on the team, starts, the Husky cap tain will be at forward and the 6-foot 6-inch center will move into the pivot spot. Otherwise, Vanden burgh will be at center. Another possible starter in the—.

In one class yesterday we spotted five gals in three rows making the sox, from the two needle seam type to the three needle seamless sox. Last year we toyed with the idea of sponsoring an argyle sox contest for the fans, with the idea of offering a lucrative prize to the best pair-maker and supplant ing our stock of argyles. Now we present this idea: To the gal that shows us the best looking pattern (in our judg ment) of argyles we will give four cartons of Chesterfields. Two for the gal and two for the fellow she is knitting them for. The sox don’t have to be fin ished, just in the process. Anyone interested the idea? Chesterfields are waiting for someone. Contest closes February 5th. The dropping of the Frosh Glee from the social schedule came without tear-shedding from most of the campus. One reason studes don’t go to the dances too much is that the intermission is too long. We don't pay money to see so and so hit on the head by a tap per, or some unfunny MC try to make a la Bob Hope. Also, it is easy not to buy a ticket and still get to the dance. As long as students can march in without a ticket they will con tinue to do so, and who is to blame them. -tne contention tnat Dig nanus are expensive? Well, local halls have paid only §800-$ 1000 for some of the best bands in the land, but the same bands ask and GET almost twice that much from the school. If they can fleece the school they will so the school lets them get away with the fleecing for big dannces. Anyway, we hope the Senior Ball is a success. After all it is the first all campus formal of the school year!
