Ducks Drop OSC, St. Mary s
HIM Squads
find Climax
Tilts Near
BY CLYDE FAHLMAN
“The bugler wets his lips . . . the
multitude stands by anxiously;”
this is the picture in handball and
“A” and ”B” basketball as leaders
“down the stretch” in intramural
Action.
Only eight squads remain in the
single elimination handball tourna
ment. This week ATO is scheduled
to play Omega, Sigma Nu will meet
the Campbell Club, Minturn will
meet Sigma Chi, and the Sammies
• will oppose Chi Psi.
This is the “A” basketball pic
ture a la league style:
1. This loop is the one to watch.
In Friday's action Minturn spilled
Phi Kappa Sigma 25-8 so three
' teams—Delta, Minturn, and the
Phi Kaps- have an opportunity to
take the crown or tie for it as each
has three wins and one loss.
2. Nestor knocked McChesney
from the unbeaten class last week
and increased their own status to
the “4-0” category, but they must
.•.till reckon with Phi Sigma Kappa,
which has a “3-0” win-loss record.
Phi Delis Still Will
3. The Phi Delts boast a three win
— no loss record; Phi Kappa Psi and
Sigma Phi Epsilon are close behind
With two wins and one loss apiece.
4. Lambda Chi Alpha is carrying
the banner here with thre wins and
>10 losses; Sigma Nu and Phi Gam
ma Delta have 2-1 win-loss records.
5. Kappa Sigma leads the pack
with a two in the-"w" column and
0 in the “1" list; although ATO and
the Sammies have twp wins their
records are marred by one game
losses.
6. Sigma Chi continues hoop lead
ership here with thre wins and no
losses; the DU's and SAE each have
two wins against one loss.
7. The Betas are steaming here
with the proverbial '‘3-0"; Theta Chi
has two wins and one loss while Stan
Kay, next in line, has a “2-2" record.
8. Chi Psi leads the pack with
three wins and no losses; Westmin
ster and Pi Kappa Alpha are tied
for second in the standings; each
two wins and a loss to their credit,
Hutchins Drops
Behind Parnell
i An Mile Race
Oregon’s Jack Hutchins, running
for the Canadian team in the Em
pire games in New Zealand, finished
last in mile race Saturday at Auck
land.
Hill Parnell, another Canadian
of Washington State College, won
the race in a time of 1 minutes, 11
seconds.
. Previously. Hutchins beat Par
mil in the 8S0 yard race.
These figures point to the rising
indication that Northern Division
distance competition this spring
will be a duel between the two Can
adians whenever Oregon mets the
Cougars.
In Saturday's marathon race, the
victor was 42-year-old Jack Holden,
an Englishman. Holden had to run
the last 10 miles of the race in bare
feet, but pulled through to take the
feature event.
Most of the events in track, field.
. swimming, rowing, cycling, wrest
>. ling, and fencing were won by the ■
versatile Australian team.
Beavers Skinned...
BY PETE CORNACCHIA
Oregon’s Web foots, continuing their habit
of good basketball one weekend and haplessness
the next, handed the Oregon State Beavers a
45-34 whipping Friday night at McArthur
Court.
Deadlv shooting and a tight defense in the
Gaels Stopped...
By SAM FIDMAN
Oregon’s basketball Webfoots spent an en
joyable Saturday evening toying with the St.
Mary’s Gael quintet at McArthur Court before
a sparce, but well-amused crowd. The Ducks
pulled out their second victory in as many
nights, pasting the ineffective Moragans, 61-53.
Don Kirsch, proving an able substitute for
first half provided we neuiuui wm,
for the Beaveis suddenly woke up
late in the second period and almost
made a game of it.
Coach Don Kirsch, ably substi
tuting for John Warren, had the
Duck quintet forget the fire-wagon
stuff in favor of control ball, which
may have been responsible for the
lowest-scoring Oregon-OSC contest
since 1944.
Ballantyne Hurt
The Beavers lost the services of
Dick Ballantyne in the first three
minutes of the game. The smooth
guard suffered a three-stitch cut
under his right eye.
Oregon jumped to a 6-0 lead in
less than two minutes, and from
then on OSC never got within spit
ting distance. Jack Orr’s tip-in made
it 6-3 shortly after Bill Harper had
canned a free throw, which was one
of only five field goals the Beavers
could manage in that half.
The Webfoots stretched their
lead to 17-8 midway through the
half, shooting at a .400 clip. The
Beavers seemed real pleased just to
find the general area of the back
board and could manage but two
more fielders in the ten minutes
remaining before the rest period.
One was a pusher by Harper, and
the other a last-second howitzer by
Tommy Holman—fired over half
the length of the court.
Gill Tries, But . . .
The Ducks meanwhile were scor
ing almost at ease, and the almost
constant shrill of whistles several
times signaled time-outs for the
bewildered. Beavers. What wily
Slats Gill had to tell his boys in
those conferences either wasn't
enough or didn't get across, for the
Ducks rolled on to a 31-16 lead at
the halfway mark.
Things slowed almost to a stand
still in the second half as the Bea
ver inaccuracy disease spread to the
Webfoots. The crew that had rolled
up 31 points in the first half could
hit only for three fielders in the
second.
Big Bob Amacner, wno is liiiumg
more of himself all the time, took
cate of two of these. He got a well
deserved ovation from the crowd
of some 8100 when he left the game
after his fifth foul. The other basket
was dropped in by Mel Streeter,
with less than two minutes to go.
Ducks Slow Down
While the Webfoots were acting
like they were on another lost week
end, the Beavers could not take ad
vantage of the situation until it
was too late. Tommy Holman, who
is unlikely to ever win any popular
ity contest in McArthur Court,
pushed one in from behind the key
with ten minutes to go—the first
Orange bucket of the half.
This evidently convinced the C.ill
men that it was still possible to
score from the field, for they start
ed right in narrowing the margin.
Jim Nan and Bob Payne paced the
drive that brought the losers al
most within shouting distance of
the coasting Ducks.
Payne stole three Webfoot passes
in the final three minutes and holed
out on two of them, the third being i
nullified for travelling. The hard!
working lad was beat after his
great solo efforts, and was pantiug
like Paul Revere's horse at the end
of the trip.
Drops Race
JACK HUTCHINS, Oregon track
star competing for Canada in
the New Zealand Empire Games,
lost his pace in Saturday’s comp
etition and finished last in the
mile race, according to reports
from New Zealand.
Frosh Score
Weekend
Double Win
Oregon's high flying Frosh bas
ketball squad added two more teams
to it’s already impressive list of
beaten opponents with a pair of
weekend wins over Marshfield high
school Friday night, 68-54, and
Hillsboro high school Saturday
night, 70-47, in McArthur Court.
Coach Don Kirseh’s Ducklings
now have a record for the season of
14 wins against one loss.
Fred Byler captured scoring Hon
ors for the Marshfield crew with 14
points, followed by All-Staters Ron
Robbins and Barney Holland with
13 and 12 respectively. Covey paced
the Oregons with 8 field goals and 2
gift tosses for a total of 18 points.
The Frosh meeting with Hills
boro on Saturday night started out
like a complete rout. Forward Jim
Livesay dropped in two buckets
before the game was a minute old
and the other Frosh found their
scoring eyes to run up a 13-2 lead
with only 2/ minutes gone.
However, the Spartan defense
tightened and they began to tally
from the floor themselves. Led by
forward Bobby Frantz, a Hillsboro
rally erased a large deficit and
brought the halftime score to 26-35,
with Center Chet Noe hitting for 13
of the Duckling total.
Coach Kirsch cleared his bench
in the second half and the Frosh
continued to pour in the points.
Although the Spartans looked bril
liant at times, they couldn't main
tain the pace throughout. Their
high scoring center', 6 foot, 5 inch
Wilbur Pearson, who rang up 22
points against Eugene High the
previous night, was completely
bottled up and held scoreless by the
close checking of Chet Noe and
Hank Bonnemann.
tossed in 16 players against the
comedians from Moraga, and in the
muddle, pepper-pot Ernie Baldini
wound up high point man for Ore
gon with nine.
Augie Bullwinkle, the nervous
St. Mary’s forward, garnered 11
points in the first half to only two
points Guard Lennie Dixson, but
the colored boy, easily the best
basketball played on the court for
St. Mary’s, came back in the last
half to dunk 13 counters and walk
off with a total of 15 for game high
point honors.
Center Joe Thurston, who tallied
24 against Portland University
Friday night, was held to seven, as
the great majority of his off-bal
ance one-handers missed their tar
get.
Gaels Get Hot
About the only thrill that was
produced in the game came late in
the last period. With two minutes
and ten seconds remaining in the
game, Amacher tipped in a re
bound to send the Ducks into a 19
point lead. Then the Gaels went wild
and scored 12 points in one minute,
as the partial crowd moaned and
groaned and the Webfoots were
helpless.
Then Baldini put on the finishing
touch as he plunked a gift toss with
three seconds left in the ball game.
St. Mary's hopped into a 4-1 lead
with two minutes gone in the ball
game, and then ran it up to 6-2 be
fore Urban threaded a one hander
from the corner, and Krause tied it
up with a one-hander from behind
the key. Bulwinkle then sent the
Gaels into their last advantage as
he stole the ball from Urban and
went in for a lay-up. Another
Krause specialty from the corner
knotted up the score seconds later.
Ducks Insure Win
From that point, four points by
Streeter, two more by Urban, and
one by Keller sent the Ducks into a
lead that was never threatened.
Oregon lead at the half, 27-20.
Besides Baldini’s nine, six of
which came within one minute and'
30 seconds, practically the whole
Oregon line-up got in their licks.
Rapidly improving Mel Streeter
dropped in seven, as did veteran
forward Dale Warberg. Will Urban,
who went out on five fouls late in
the last period, and Jack Keller
Swim Team
Splits Pair
In North
Coach John Borchardt’s swim
ming team invaded the Inland Em
pire this weekend and gained an
even split in two mets.
Joe Nishimoto broke two pool
records Friday at Moscow to lead
the Duck natators to a 60-22 win
over the Idaho Vandals. The Ducks
in turn received a 62-22 pasting
from a strong Washington State
team on Saturday, although Nishi
moto managed to break a pool rec
ord there also.
The loss at Pullman was the first
for the Duck swimmers in three
meets this season. The other victory
came over the Oregon State Bea
vers.
Nishimoto clipped 1.8 seconds off
the 220-yard free style record at
the Idaho pool as he knifed the dis
tance in 2:20.4. The old record had
been set 13 years ago. The fleet
Hawaiian knocked' 13.8 seconds off
the old 440-yard free style record,
which had stood since 1939, with a
5:08.2 effort-.
The Webfoots copped first place
in every event.
Only three firsts could be grabbed
by the Ducks against WSC. One of
these, the 220-yard breast stroke,
was Nishimoto’s third record-break
