Webfoots WSC Splash A Pair Oregon University s varsity swimmers left the campus eaily Thursday morning and headed for the Inland Empire country, where they will battle powerful Washing ton State this afternoon and Idaho tomorrow. Coach Borchardt’s splashers will be hoping for an upset when they enter the Pullman pool today for their second meet of the season. The fastest breaststroker ever to wear the Duck colors, Joe Nishimoto, will be attempting to set a new record in the 200-yard breaststroke. Guns for Record Nishimoto broke the Northern Divison record in that event Tues day afternoon when he finished with a time of 2:25.5 in the local Mens’ Pool. The old record is 2:26.2 and was set by Pete Salmon of Washington iast year. Since Nishi rnoto’s time was not made in a reg ular meet, his record is not official. Jim Stanley is favored to win first place for the Ducks in the div ing contest, and Louis Santos should finish first in the 200-yard individual medley, but the outcome in the reamining events is definite ly uncertain. A Bin Dozen The Cougars have a dozen letter men back from their 1949 squad, which was the best in Washington State history. Coach Doug Gibb’s amazing Cougars set a total of 55 varsity, pool, meet, and Northern Division records during the 1949 campaign. WSC was upset by Washington last Saturday while Oregon was downing the Oregon State Beavers 51-33. The Cougars e.dged the Ducks 43-41 last year. Oregon will be heavily favored in the meet with Idaho tomorrow. Eric Kirkland’s Vandals finished a poor fourth in the Northern Divi sion last spring. Order of '0' Order of the “O” President Jim Bartelt requests that all letter men wear dark sweaters to the basketball game tonight because pictures will l*e taken. RAY SNYDER, C foot, 4 inch Oregon State forward whose “hard-to guard” jump shot makes him a real threat to Oregon tonight at McArthur Court. Snyder has tallied 93 points for the Beavers so far this season, in all games. Ducklings Slate Two With Top Prep Quints Two prep hoop squads, Marsh field and Hillsboro, representing the cream of Oregon’s high school basketball talent, will match shots with the Oregon Frosh baskeeters this weekend in preliminaries to regular varsity games.

Also VALENTINE Cards of all Kinds U. of O. CO-OP inary, and were runners-up for the state high school championship last year. This fast-breaking crew is paced by high-scoring Barney Hol land and fireball Ron Robbins, both of whom were All-Staters last year, the latter as a 14-year old sopho more. Leading the Willamette Valley League' with an undefeated record in eight games, the Hillsboro five should provide able competition to the Oregon first-year men. They have in 6 foot, 5 inch Wil bur Pearson, one of the tallest high schoolers in the state. Pearson and guard Bobby Frantz, who spear headed the Hillsboro football team last fall, are depended on by Coach Lou Samas to supply the needed scoring punch. Frosh Mentor Don Kirsch was uncertain about his final starting lineup, but will probably start Curt Barclay and Jim Livesay at for wards, Henry Bonnemann at cen ter, and Bud Covey and Nick Schmer at the guards. In 25 years of coaching, Coach Everett Shelton has won 20 hoop championships, including one NC AA title at Wyoming in 1943.

Bdwy Ph. 4-5353 Hutchins Takes 880-yard First In New Zealand Jack Hutchins, former Oregon Frosh track star and varsity pros pect, now representing Canada in the British Empire Games in New Zealand, Thursday took first place in the 880-yard run. The Auckland, N. Z., dispatch did not give Hutchins’ time in win ning ahead of Bill Parnell of Wash ington State (also representing Canada) who took second in the event. Both also qualified for the final in the mile run Saturday, and Par nell was considered a favorite after winning his heat in 4:15.4. Hutchins, whose home is in Van couver, B. C., turned in some fine performances for the Frosh last spring, and is expected to be a top point-winner for the varsity har riers when he returns to school spring term. Betas Hit Nestor In IM Dual Meet With the entire meet depending on the outcome of the 120 yard re lay, the Beta Theta Pi quartet out raced the Nestor Hall entry, and en abled the Betas to come out on top, 31-28, in Thursday’s intramural competition. Although the Hallmen won four I place ribbons to three for the Betas, the winners scored points with sec onds and thirds which spelled the difference.

Shooting Two The Oregon Ducks may have to go into tonight’s Oregon State game in McArthur Court without Coach John Warren on the bench. Indications yesterday afternoon were that Warren may not be re leased from Sacred Heart Hospital, where he is confined with a bad cold or possible pneumonia, in time for the OSC contest. He is under the care of team phy sician, Dr. George Guldager. Before making the Inland Em pire trip against the advice of doc tors, Warren was confined to his home with a serious cold. Team Trainer Tommy Hughes said yes terday that the mentor did not re cover from his illness while in Pull man. Kirsch In Charge In charge of the Ducks during Warren’s absence will be Assistant Coaches Don Kirsch and Marv Ras mussen. In Friday’s OSC game, Oregon will try to enact the role of the spoiler. Their own hopes for ND glory this season dashed by the re cent Inland Empire disaster, the Webfoots will try to ruin any hopes which may have lodged with the Beavers. OSC now has a record ot i> won and 4 lost. Oregon is in the cellar spot with a 3 and 8 record. Idaho rests in number 4 spot with a 2 and 5 slate. The Vandals meet WSC in Pullman Friday night in what is considered to be a sure WSC win. If Oregon can defeat the Beavers while WSC trips Idaho, the Web foots will be in fourth place and Idaho will return to the bottom of the list. Chances are that the Oregon line up will be considerably shaken around for the Aggie game. The only sure starters Friday will be Forward Will Urban and Guard Jack Keller. The other regular for ward this season has been Paul Sowers, whose shooting eye was badly off center in the Inland Em pire. Guard Mel Krause, who has been acting as floor captain for Oregon of late, will probably start the game,, but he may give way to Ken Hunt or John Neely. The center slot will be a toss up between Jim Vranizan and Bob Amacher.

Paced by Burt Bergstrom, the Phi Psi aggregation easily troun ced Omega Hall 24-5. Contributing 10 points as well as putting in heavy duty on the boards, Berg strom provided the spark needed in the early stages of the game to help his team draw away from a badly outclassed Omega Club. In a-wildly played contest, the Pijis pulled steadily away from Sederstrom Hall for a 30-13 verdict. After the early stages of the game there was never any question about the victor. Kolden paced the win ners with nine points while Miller was dunking five for Sederstrom. After a see-saw first half, the DU’s pulled away from Sherry Ross to win 19-11. Leading 12-11 at the third quarter, the DU team threw up an impregnable defense and coasted to the victory. In another wild flurry of bas ketball, Westminster eased past Stitzer 19-15. The game was hard fought but rather poorly played by both clubs. Meadows led the winners with six points and Hill dropped in five for the losers. In the best game of the day, the Betas dropped Stan Ray by the count of 17-15. The game was nip and tuck throughout, with hard, skillful playing featured. Leading at the half 12-10, the Betas matched point for point with the clever Hallmen to hold their two point advantage. In the final game, YMCA for feited to the Tekes.
