Ducks Ready for Huskies

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.

Heads for Huskyland

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

no spirit of malice toward any
school or any individual in what

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.

LaDon Henson will hold down one
forward post and Andy Opacich is
slated to open at one guard. Cap

either at center or forward, de

up.
Vandenburgh Alternates
If Jim Mallory, the tallest man, i
on the team, starts, the Husky cap

6-foot 6-inch center will move into
the pivot spot. Otherwise, Vanden

Since the recent article in the
Emerald about argyles we have
noticed the large number of girls
knitting the pretty sox for their
men. 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.

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!
