Varsity Aqua-Men Vie Frosh Paddlers Coach John Borchardt's varsity swimmers are now preparing to face George Moorhead’s Freshman team in an intra-squad meet that is scheduled Saturday, Jan. 28, in the Men’s Pool. FIRST MEET ’ This will be the first meet for both teams, and the contest should iyive a good indication of the part that Oregon will play in later Northern Division encounters. Although the varsity team 1ms ' some of the finest swimmers in Oregon (and possibly in the Northwest, too), the Freshmen, from all indications, will not go down without offering a spirited ' battle. Both teams are well-sup i plied with talent. Some of the outstanding individ ual contests of the meet should take place in diving and in the 220 And 440-yard freestyle. Northern Division records might be broken in the latter two and also in the ' 200-yard breaststroke. DIVING ARTISTS In the diving contests, the var sity team will be represented by Jim Stanley and Harry Ladas, while Don McKillap will partici pate for the Frosh. Since Stanley captured the Northern Division diving crown last year, this event should be one of the outstanding ’ features of the meet. Stanley is a member of the all-time all-Oregon University swimming team. Two other great battles are expected in the 220 and 440-yard freestyle, in which Gordon Ed wards of the Frosh will compete with veteran Pete Van Dyke. Van Dyke dipped two-tenths of a second off the Northern Divi sion record in the 440 last spring, and he came Within one second of tying the Northern Division record in the 220, set by Wash ington’s Pete Powlinson in 1947. Edwards swam for Lincoln of Portland in 1949, winning the state high school titles in the 100 and 200-yard freestyle races. While Edwards and Van Dyke are attempting to set new records in the 220 and 440, Joe Nishimoto will be striving to do the same in the 200-yard breaststroke. Nishi moto swam the 220 with a time of 2:26.7 in 1949, coming within one tenth of a second of tying the Northern Division record, which is 2:26.6, set by Jack Dallas of Oregon in 1939. NO ADMISSION There will be no admission price. Northern Division or local Men’s Pool records may be equaled or surpassed, and the meet promises to be one that the spectators will not soon forget. Gridiron Fouls Partially Backed Approximately two-thirds of the football fouls called against Paci fic Coast Conference teams in* 1949 actually were enforced, an analysis made by the PCC Commissioner’s staff today revealed. The survey, based on reports from game officials, also indicated that the time necessary to play PCC games approaches the nation al average of 2 hours and 21 min ! utes.

Pat Dignan's lay-in gave the SAEs their overtime triumph Ov er Omega 11-9, in a fray that was wilder than an Argentine elec tion. Beef was the deciding fac tor and the SAEs had the most.

Shannon Leads Southern Division LOS ANGELES — (UP) — For ward Bill Sharman of the Univer sity of Southern California leads Pacific Coast Conference Southern Division scorers after four games and appears to he headed toward a new season scoring record, the PCC Commissioner’s Office reported to day. Sharman had made 90 points in the first four loop tussles for a 22.5-point average. When Hank Luisetti of Stanford set the di vision mark of 232 points in 1938, lie averaged 19.3 per game. Far behind Sharman in total points are George Yardley of Stan ford with 61, A1 Sawyer, UCLA, 56, Jim Walsh, Stanford, 46, and Bob Matheny, California, 43. Sharman tops the loop in free throw shobting, getting 24 out of 25 attempts. In field goal per centage, Sharman is third behind teammates Stan Christie and A1 Lament. Christie has a .432 aver age, Lamont .414 and Sharman .402. Southern Cal tops the four divi sion teams in free throw percent ages with a .671 mark and in field goal percentage with .367. In the old days, the farmer had ways of dealing with such larceny. Un-huh, a gun full of rock salt. But we wouldn’t recommend that i now.

Top Golfers Ready For Meet Finis LOS ANGELES — (UP) — Ben Hogan unlimbered his tired legs and Sam Snead warmed up his hot-and-cold putter today for their delayed playoff tomorrow for the Los Angeles Open Golf Champion ship, an anti-climax to a heart warming comeback and heart-stop ping rally. The 18 holes of medal play ov er the Rivieria Country Club’s 1,020-yard course brings to gether the nation’s top two golf ers, shooting fo rthe lion’s share of $4,500. It is one of the few times that two golfers of such stature have met in man-to-man competition and probably never has a match been played under such dramatic conditions. If they still are tied at the end of 18 holes, they will con tinue under “sudden death” condi tions until one player wins a hole. TIED AT 72 HOLES Hogan and Snead tied with four under-par 280’s at the end of the regulation 72 holes in the rain-de deviled $15,000 tournament last week. Snead shot a full 18-hole prac tice round at Lakewood Country Club, getting a one over par 82. He felt confident he would be able to master Hogan in the playoff “if my putting game holds together.” Hogan practiced at Riviera but did not play a full round. He concentrated on sharpening his drives and iron shots and con served the strength in his weak ened legs. Asked how he expected to fare, Hogan replied, “I’ll give Snead a run for his money.” * Bantam Ben, in his first tourna ment since an auto accident nearly ended' his life a year ago, carded three consecutive sub-par 69’s af ter going one over par for 72 in the first round. Snead, finishing after Hogan in the last round, dropped 15-foot putts for birdies on the 17th and 18th holes for a sizzling 66 to tie the courageous little Texan. RAINS PREVAIL They were scheduled to play off last Wednesday for the $2600 first place money, $1900 second place and an even split of 50 per cent of the gate receipts, but heavy rains washed out the match and the golf ers went north for the Bing Crosby Pro-Amateur Tournament. Snead finished in a four-way tie there with Dave Douglas, Smiley Quick and Jack Burke after blowing a seven-foot putt. Hogan, tired by the gruelling Los Angeles play which went an ex tra day when rain forced post ponement bf the third round af ter he he’d gone 11 holes in a storm, wound up nine strokes back with a 223. “I’m a little tired after the long grind of two tournaments,” Ben said today as he prepared to warm up at Riviera, “But I figure I’ll be in pretty good shape tomorrow.” Hogan said he hadn’t antici pated the strain he underwent in the Los Angeles Tournament. The postponed third and playoff rounds gave him little time to rest his recently shattered legs. Meanwhile, rain again threat ened the playoff. The forecast was occasional light showers during the day, but the match was expected to be played .unless another deluge made the course completely un playable as it was last week.
