Leading the Ducks in their all out assault were Earl Walter and Louis Santos. Walter stole the show with two .Northern Division records, and swimming a magnificent leg on the Medley Relay which broke the meet record by almost 12 seconds. Walt er’s two ND records were in the 100 yd. Back and the 180 yd. Individual Medley. In the first he hit a 1:03.7 to tip Sherman Wetmore’s Record of 1:04.0 set in 1940 and the second euw him take almost four seconds off his own ND record of 2:12.2 in the individual medley. Louis Santos though winning two events and anchoring the winning four man relay team put on a mag nificent show with a meet record in both the 60 yard freestyle and the 100 yard freestyle. These rec ords were set in 1939. In addition to this Santos’ fine leg on the final re lay resulted in a new record in which 6 seconds were clipped from the old standard. style to nip the old record,-artrtrt Another outstanding perform ance was turned in by senior Bob Hiatt who came through in terrific style to nip the old record in the 440 yard freestyle by almost a second. Hiatt’s time was his best since the war. Contributing to the third fastest medley relay time in Oregon’s his tory. were Rod Harmon and George Moorhead who swam their best times all year and were responsible for the record.

DUCK TRACKS By Tom King Emerald Sports Editor ITS AN ANCIENT CRY that's been head before, but just the same it remains that in the minds of a great many serious fol lowers of sports the All-America team is nothing more than a prc-falbricated hoax. Generallv, it should be accepted as a measure, though an im perfect one, of a player s worth. However, insofar as the current basketball season is concern Frosh Topple Indians 52-43 Coach Don Kirsch’s freshman basketball team hurdled the un lucky one last night as they won their thirteenth straight game against high school opposition by dropping Roseburg high, 52-43. The Indians almost went without a field goal in the entire first quar ter, being held to a pair of free throws with 15 seconds to play. Then Daryl Blanck, tall Roseburg forward, got their initial two-point er, scoring on a one-hander from the key. Frosh Forward Bill Clausen, as hot as a freshly fired pistol in the first period, sunk four field goals to pace the Frosh to an opening lead that was never hotly contested. Duckling Jim Calderwood took over for Clausen in the second quar ter, and set up his teammates with some brilliant passing, which car ried the Frosh into a 27-12 halftime lead. The second half was a slightly different tale, however, as the Indi ans did more than hold their own against the substitutes inserted in to the lineup by Kirscli. It was Roseburg’s Don Hubbard who showed the way for the visi tor's by scoring 12 second half points and a total of 15 for the game. Clausen was high man for the Freshmen, adding' one second-half fielder and then retiring' in favor of the subs. His game total was 12 counters. Box score: Frosh (52) Pos.

Vandals Deposit Huskies in Cellar * MOSCOW, Idaho, Feb. 18 (AP) Forward Bob Pritchett hit the hoop for 27 points tonight as the Univer sity of Idaho dropped the Universi ty of Washington Huskies 62 to 55 in a Pacific Coast conference bas ketball game. The victory lifted the Idaho Van dals one notch above the Huskies who now hold down the northern di vision cellar spot. Sloan to Speak. Mr. Donald Sloan, president and general manager of Sloan and Wil cox, Portland, will be the guest speaker to Professor N. H. Corn ish's classes in retail merchandis ing. problems in distribution, and sales management, Monday, Feb ruary 21. ed, it seems that Northern Divi sion fans need not quibble over the matter. For, while the Northland is chock full of pret ty good players, there really isn’t one among them who is en titled to the All-America label. Of course, it’s no mean feat to be tabbed as one of the best ball play ers in the country, but, despite this, it is obvious that the players of the 1948-49 campaign are not going to uphold the rather distinguished tra dition that belongs to the ND. OISTINGUSHED? YES. Let’s take a quick spin back into the cob webby archives of the past. The Northern Division has been blessed with a raft of legendaries who were able to crack All-America, 26 of them according to the list compil ed by the PCC Commissioner’s Of fice. Chaps like Lauren “Laddie” Gale and Urgel “Slim” Winter mute of Oregon, Iialph Cairney of Washington, Wally Palmberg of OSC and Gale Bishop Of Wash ington State were basketball players of the first water. They helped to set a standard that is and will be plenty hard to match, and it seems that the present crop hasn’t been able to do it. There are six ball players in this division who have really done them selves proud. Taken together, they give the North one of the best and well-rounded All-Diivsion teams in recent times. Cliff Crandall, Ed Gayda, Pres Brimhall, Bill Vanden burgln Sammy White and Rog Wil ey would gladden the heart of any coach. KEVEKTHKLISSS, UAKt SAY that none of them stacks up to the requirements of a real, bona fide All-American. Undoubtedly, a couple, probably Gayda and Wiley, will come in for some mention. Both are good boys, but it still holds true that neither had a 34-point night such as did Alex Groza, and neither had the pre season backing given a Macauley or a Beard. More important, no one in the division has been con sistent. As aforestated, making All America is no simple feat. Howev er, it is disappointing that for the first time in three years and for only the third time in the last elev en years there isn't a eager in the ND who deserves a place on any of the various A-A selections. FBOM WHAT we have been able to gather, the situation is only slightly different in the South. Bill Sharman, USC, looks like the only chance bet, and some doubts per sist on him, too. All in all, the foregoing, plus the fact that there really isn't a great team anywhere hereabouts, does not speak well of the Northern Di vision in that respect. And judging from the sophomore and junior tal ent on hand, there doesn't seem to be any immediate relief. UW Matmen Win PULLMAN.
