By Sam Fidman (This is the fourth of a series of features on members of the Uni versity of Oregon varsity basket ball team.) One of the last of the old guard, now earning his fourth letter with the emerald green and lemon yel low, is Jim Bartelt, who seems al most like a permanent fixture with the Oregon varsity basketball crew. Jim was graduated from Ash land (Ore.) high school in 1944, after what might be termed a well rounded athletic career. He earned two letters each in football, base ball, track, and tennis, and then added three more in basketball. Bart was named to the all-state hoop squad for the 1943-44 season. He played first base with the Ash land horsehiders, and carried the fullback’s chores for the football team. It was during his senior year in high school that Jim collected his greatest number of points in one game, 38, against Roseburg high school. Likes Fast Break The son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Bartelt of Ashland, Jim entered the University of Oregon in fall of 1944. His reason for choosing the Web foot institution was that he pre fers the fast break to any other type of basketball. Bart wanted to attend an Oregon school, and he wanted to play fast break—that eliminated Oregon State, which featured a slow brand of ball. As his favorite shot, Bart named his personal trade mark, the one handed drive through the key. The husky senior also indicated that he was not one to snub hook shots when the opportunity for one arose. Although he received his all-state honors as a center with Ashland, Jim prefers the forward slot, which he presently occupies for the Web foot cagers. He recalled, however, that he had played guard with the championship Oregon quintet of 1944-45. Makes Varsity as Frosh The 22-year-old 190-pounder jumped into varsity competition in his freshman year, as the Frosh had been temporarily disbanded. From November 1945 until Decem ber 1946, Jim served with the army medical corps. He kept his bucket eye in trim by playing with Fort i Lewis (Wash.) and Fitzsimmons General hospital of Denver, during his service with the army. As his most thrilling moment on the court, Bart named the 1945 play-off game against Washington State, when with 40 seconds re maining, he drove through the key and put up his favorite one-handed shot. Those two points broke up a tie ball game, gave Oregon the Northern Division championship, and sent the Webfoots packing to Kansas City, where they participat ed in the Western Invitational. At Kansas City, the Ducks dropped their first game to Arkansas, 79 to 76, but came back to top Utah in the consolation, 69 to 66. Dislikes Booing Crowd Bart’s pet peeve, as far as bas ketball is concerned, is a crowd that boos and jeers when a player is attempting a free throw. When asked what he thought of the Ore gon fans, the 6-foot 2-inch regular said, “they are a good crowd to play for.” The loyalty of the Mac courters was another point in their favor, according to Bartelt, but he thought it unsportsmanlike for them to jeer while opposing play ers were at the free throw line. WAA Cabinet WAA cabinet members will meet at noon today in the WAA room of Gerlinger hall. Members are re minded to bring their lunches. GoldStar Released EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 16—(AP) —Ben Hogan won permission from his doctors today to leave an El Paso hospital.
