Heel Bothers DiMag BALTIMORE, March 2—(AP) — Joe DeMaggio and Dr. George Ben nett went into consultation yester day on a familiar subject—the New York Yankee outfielder's sore heel. Dr. Bennett operated on the right heel last winter. After the first day of spring training yesterday in St. Petersburg, Fla., DiMaggio said it hurt again and he took off by plane for Baltimore. The big slugger said the heel pained him most of the time “but really hurt when I run.” Dr. Bennett will decide whether another operation is necessary and how long Di Maggio will be idle.

Champs Battered Gillmen By Sam Fidman In the good old days, when “Grapes of Wrath” and “Mein Kampf” were sweeping the nation’s literary taste, and when the Joe Louis who was belted one “Mox” Schmeling into boxing oblivion, the “Tall Firs,” greatest basketball team in the nation, had their hands full with a bunch of upstart Oregon State Beavers. That famed Webfoot squad, which dropped only 5 games in 34 starts, including sectional and na tional play-offs, was always in for trouble when the “Beaverville Schooner” steamed into town. In the first game of that season between OSC and the Ducks, des pite a trio of Slats Gil’s “tough boys,” Mai Harris, Frank Mandic, and Elmer Kolberg, Oregon pulled out a 31 to 26 win. In the second installment of the “Civil War” of ’39, Slim Winter mute potted 13 points to beat the Gillmen 46 to 39. The Beavers led at halftime, 19-14, but once the Gale - Dick - Wintermute combo started rolling—it was all over. Game number three was an Ag gie paradise. Kolberg, an over grown OSC football player, hit for 17 points, while Laddie Gale, “Mr. Basketball” of those days, collect ed a puny three. The Orangemen sunk 21 out of 55 shots at the bas ket, while the “Firs” made good on only nine out of 53. Oregon State won, 50-31, rudely snapping a ten game Oregon winning streak. But, the Ducks copped the last game, 48 to 37, then knocked off the strong Washington Huskies 39 to 26 furniture sale THIS WEEK 9 A. M. TO 5:30 P.

But in '39 Oregon belted the tarn ished Golden Be^ar two straight for the West Coast championship, and then humbled Texas, 64 to 41, and Oklahoma, 55 to 37, to take all western honors. ...Then, before a packed Patten Pavilion at Evanston, Illinois, the (Please turn to page eight) and the times as they will be run oii will be in tomorrow’s Emerald. The Aquaduclts suffered a defi nite and telling blow to their hopes of getting by Washington State in the finals with the loss of veteran freestyle swimmer Bob Hiatt. Hiatt hurt his ankle the first of last week and it has gotten wore in stead of better the last few days with the doctors finally ordering Hiatt not to compete unless there is definite improvement before the meet. Without Hiatt the other Ducks will have to dig deep into their bag of tricks to outpoint the Cougars for second spot while the all powerful Huskies are conced ed an overwhelming favorite for first place. At this writing there is definitely no defeatism in the Duck camp how ever as in a meet of this kind any thing can happen and provided the swimmers perform as well as they did two weeks ago they will be right in there with only a few points sep erating the final scores of these run ners up.
