Cellar at Stake in Duck-Vandal Fray Oregon Mermen Jinx Aqua-Ags 12 Seasons; Splash Here Saturday By PHIL JOHNSON Coach John Borchardt's Oregon varsity swimmers will be striving to protect a great 12-year record when they meet the Oregon State Beavers in the local Mens’ Pool at 2:00 p. m. tomorrow afternoon. The Beavers have not succeeded in outscoring the Ducks since 1938 and Oregon has captured 18 straight dual meets from the Northerners. During those 1 years, the Ducks have rolled up a total of 1061 points while holding Oregon State to 311. Earlier this season, the Ducks defeated Coach Reg Flood's Beav ers 51-33 at Corvallis, but tomor row’s battle may be much closer, since the Oregon State squad has been bolstered by the addition to the 400-yard relay team of Herm Clark, who took first place in the 50-yard freestyle during the Beav er-Duck clash at Corvallis. Nishimoto Vs. Records Speedy Joe Nishimoto is expect ed to take first-place honors for the Ducks in the 220 and 440-yard freestyle, and he also might break some long-standing meet, pool, or Northern Division records. The talented Hawaiian smashed three jiool records last Friday and Sat urday while Oregon was losing to .Washington State at Pullman and defeating Idaho at Moscow. IF YOUR WATCH BREAKS DOWN IT REALLY AIN’T FUNNY! BUT WE'LL FIX IT UP— AND IT WON'T COST MUCH MONEY! BRISTOWS Jewelers 620 Willamette Several all-time, all-Oregon rec ords will be threatened with ex tinction tomorrow. Louis Santos and Bill Vannatta have potential ities of setting a new mark in the 100-yard freestyle, while Stan Hargrave will be doing his best to break the all-time, all-Oregon record in the 100-yard backstroke. Stanley Vs. Staub The meet will be highlighted by the diving contest between Jim Stanley of the Ducks and Stater Ray Staub. Since both have won the diving championship of the Northern Division, this event should be very close. The meet will be the fourth of the season for the Ducks, who meet Washington at the local pool one week from tomorrow and then terminate the season by participat ing in the Northern Division* meet at Pullman March 3 and 4. Coach Borchardt’s splashers hold wins over Oregon State and Idaho, their only loss being administered by the powerful Washington State Cougars. Chi O's Sweep; Gals' Splashfest In Gerlinger IMs By taking four first places, Chi Omega won the first round of the women’s intramural swimming meet held last night at Gerlinger pool. Second place was captured by Sigma Kappa, while Carson Hall was a close third. The medley, and form swimming of the elementary backstroke, breaststroke and crawl enabled the Chi O’s to rack up their lead of 25 points, while Sigma Kappa won the freestyle and 23 points. Carson took a host of runner up spots, and came away with 2014 markers. Other teams who scored were Delta Zeta with SHi, Alpha Gam ma Delta with three, and Gam ma Phi Beta with one. The final round of competition will be held in Gerlinger Pool, Feb. 22 at 7 a. m. ) $9.95 JARMAN SADDLES • Smoked Elk • Red Rubber Sole "the thing for Spring" BaxteSi & cttetutuuf Phone 4-6011 1022 Willamette Kirsch at Helm For Idaho Stand * By JOHN BARTON Emerald Sports Editdr The Idaho Vandals, fresh from two defeats at the hands of Ore gon State Tuesday and Wednesday nights, will run into the Oregon Ducks tonight on the floor of Mc Arthur Court. Idaho beat Oregon twice earlier in the season at Moscow. The last defeat by OSC put the Vandals back into the Northern Division cellar spot, with the Ducks pushing on the cellar door. If Oregon can defeat Idaho to night and tomorrow night, the Easterners will be firmly implanted in the last ND position. Indications are that Coach John Warren will not be able to attend either game. He is recovering from an attack of virus penumonia. Kirsch Piloting In his absence, Freshman Coach Don Kirsch will take over, as he did last week for the two Web foots wins against OSC and St. Mary’s. While the Ducks did not look their best last week, they man aged to shine bright enough to grab two victories. With the help of the “home feeling” which they seem to have in the Igloo, the feathered creatures may pull both games their way. Coach Kirsch is expected to start the usual combination of Will Ur ban and Paul Sowers at forwards, Bob Amacher at center, and Mel Krause and Jack Keller at guards, although Dale Warberg and Jim Vranizan may get a crack at the starting forward and centers spots, respectively. Baldini May Play If a wide Oregon margin is built up in either of the games, Kirsch is sure to throw in his bench-full of subs, as he did in the St. Mary's game last Saturday. Even if the games prove to be tight affairs, one of the substitutes, if any are made, may be little Ernie Baldini, who led the team against the Gaels with nine points. Bald ini thrilled spectators last week with his accurate shooting, but his weak point all season has been de fense. Neither Idaho game is expected to be a rout. The Vandals have been playing eratic ball throughout the season, and after the double OSC loss, may bounce back to be come the sharpshooting outfit which beat Oregon in Moscow. Spudmen Starters The starters for Idaho will prob ably be Big Bob Pritchett and Herb Mead at forwards, Bob Wheeler at center, and Dick Geis ler and Sam Jenkins at guards. This is the quint which started the last game against Oregon State. Almost sure to see action in the games are Ken Barker, sophomore center, and Roy Irons, who plays forward. In tonight’s preliminarq, the Oregon Fosh will play the Univer sity of Portland Freshman team. Saturday night, the Ducklings will take on Grants Pass High School. Your Fraternity Jeweler L. G. BALFOUR CO. Pins, Rings, Noreltie,s Stationery, Programs Send inquiries to 807 General Insurance Bldg. Seattle, Washington Mark McColm, Mgr. Frosh Play Weekend Pair Against Cavemen, Portland U. Yearlings “Both of our games this weekend will be very tough, but team spirit is high and I think we’ll come out all right.” Thus commented Freshman bas ketball coach Don Kirsch in refer ence to Frosh meetings with the Portland University Frosh and Grants Pass High School. Both tilts will start at 6:15. The Portland University first year men are the only unbeaten col lege frosh team in the state, having won eighteen straight contests. They have speed, and drive, and although most of their games have been with high schools, they will provide able competition in to night’s preliminary to the Oregon Idaho varsity clash. Grants Pass boasts one of the top prep teams in the state, having posted 19 victories in 21 starts. They have lost only to Marshfield, and the College of Education Frosh. On the statistical side, the Cave men have rung up an average of 47.6 points per fray to 37.3 for their opponents. They are slated to play the Ducklings in Saturday’s pre liminary. Coach Kirsch will probably start his usual-first team of Curt Barclay and Jim Livesay at forwards, either Hank Bonnemann or Chet Noe at center, and Bud Covey and Nick Schmer at the guards. Sigma Nu, McChesney, Phi Delts Merrick, Phi Psi Post IM Wins By PAUL, BARROW As the “A” team drew closer to league championship, action on the hardwoods yesterday was fast and rough. In the opening tussle, McChesney threw up a stiff fourth quarter de fense to edge by Phi Sigma Kappa 22-16. The game was close through out and was one of the better play ed games of the day. Elloracca paced the winners with 16 markers and played a brilliant offensive game. High man for the losers was Huddock with six points. In the best-attended game of the day the Phi Belts dropped the Sig Eps 21-8. The game, however, was much better than the score indi cates, as the Sig Eps led at the half, 6-5. Coming back strong with a brief rest under their belts, the Phi Delts showed lots of fire and pro ceeded to eliminate any playoff hopes the Sig Eps might have had. Slade and Fullerton each contri buted five points for the victors, while Bowman and Sage dropped in three apiece in a losing effort. In another game of major im portance, Sigma Nu edged by Lambda Chi 17-12 in a rough and tumble affair. Leading 8-3 at the half, Sigma Nu stood off the Pearl streeters’ rally to draw away in the final mo ments. With a league title at stake, both clubs went all the way in spirit and action. Smith of Lambda Chi was high man for the game with six counters while Salters and Bartle contrib uted four each for the winners. Phi Psi, already eliminated from the playoff picture, easily defeated the Yoemen 25-10. It was a matter of heighth and ability vs. spirit, as the lanky fraternity had things pretty much their own way. The game was wide open and at times both teams showed real abil ity. Burt Bergstrom, playing his us ual brilliant game on the boards, contributed only four points for the Phi Psi club but showed lots of spirit and drive to play a valuable part in the victory. High man for the winners was Hall with 10 as Bonner put four in for the losers. In another hotly contested affair, Merrick Hall slipped by the Fijis 14-13. Though raggedly played at times, the game was very good from the spectators viewpoint. Kolden looped in six points for the winners. In the hotly contested handball race, ATO dropped Campbell Club 2-1. A TO Murders DU Thindads Alpha Tau Omega ran wild in in ter-organizational track yesterday to beat Delta Upsilon, 50-9. The DU’s pulled only one event their way. That was when Frank Johnson of DU broke a record by winning the %-mile race in a time of 3 minutes, 46.2 seconds. The ATOs wori the high jump, the shot-put, the broad jump, the hurdles, the 40-yard dash, and the relay race. ATO also won five second places in the meet, one of which was a tie.
