THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Oregon's Laddie Gale Selected on 1939 NEA All-American Q Match uini Wintermute Is Contender Webfoot Only Coast Hoopster to Make Team By JERRY BRONDFIELD (NEA Service Sports Writer) We give you, then, gentlemen, the all-America basketball team of 1938 the cream of the nation's collegiate cage talent and their supporting cast, based on rccom mendations by coaches and sports writers from every section of the country. Although there's bound to be a dissenting vote here and there, a close perusal of the records indi cates it would be pretty hard to name a team that would be any more worthy of all-American mention than the five seniors who make up the honor quintet. Most difficult task was selecting the center for the mythical five. Any one of three or four candi dates might have been placed in the pivot post without undue crit icism, but the job finally went to Lewis "Pick" Dehner of Illinois. Dehner, a six-foot, four-Inch husky from Lincoln, 111., wound up second in the Big Ten scoring race with 151 points. He has sparked the Illini for two years and reached the heights in this campaign. Wintermute Contender Pressing closely was Dar Hutch ins. The slender pivot man of Bradley Tech's Famous Five was the chief reason why the Peorians mopped up on such big-time op ponents as Oregon, Pitt, Nebraska, C. C. N. Y Duquesne and others. Bob Calihan nf Detroit, con sidered the greatest eager in Titan history, was a standout all year. Consideration, too, must be given to Bob Ogilvle, California's star, "Slim" Wintermute of Ore gon, Mike Novak of Loyola and George Prather of Alabama. Immediately deserving a spot on anybody's honor team is Irving Torgoff, six-foot forward from Long Island University. Just as Long Island was the class of the east, so was Torgoff the class of the seaboard's individ ual players. Gale Master Paired with Torgoff is Laddie Gale, six-foot, four-Inch Oregon star. Gale, whose home town is Oakrldge, probably is the best one-hand shooter In the country. Smooth as silk In action he Is highly reminiscent of Hank Lul settl, former Stanford star, who had no equal at setting up his own shots. Gale averaged almost 13 points a game. As it was, however, he barely nosed out Ohio State's brilliant Jimmy Hull. Ralph Vaughn. Southern Cali fornia sharpshooter, was another who Just fell short of top honors. No one could want a better brace of guards than Jim WIU coxon of Colorado and Ernie An dres of Indiana. Willcoxon, six-feet-three, home town Coffeyvllle, Kan., for two years has been a unanimous All-Rocky Mountain selection. This season he hit his peak. Not only does he control the backboard beautifully on re bounds, but averaged 11 points a game which Is terrific for a guard. Ziegenfuss Mentioned Andres was the mainspring of Branch McCrackf n's otherwise all-sophomore aggregation which wound up second in the Rig Ten From Jeffersonvllle, this 200 pound six-footer was the stand nut pack-rourtman of his league. He was I great hall handler, a good feeder, and remarkable scor er himself, with an average Just a little under 10 a game. The only other far-western hoops tan mentioned In the selec tions were: George 7.iegonfuss, Washington's veteran guard, and Tom McGarvin, Southern Califor nia defensive ace. Just off-hand, any coach in the OOUIttry would he mors than satis field with any five men from the entire group. These All-Americans Had What It Takes . . . iBowlinQ Meet In Third Round Moore, Thompson Hurl No-Hitter For Reds Against Brooklyn TAMPA, Fla., March 13. 0J W Two of Johnny Vander Mrer's Cincinnati Red teammates collab orated to pitch the first no-hlt game of the season, and mayhr the first In grapefruit league history yesterday. Vander Meer, last season the first pitcher In baseball annals to hurl two no-hitters In succession, had been scheduled to pitch against Brooklyn, but he was In bed with a slight rase of influenza. So, his mates, Whitey Moore and Junior Thompson, blanked the Dodger-. 5 to 0. Arlington High Wins District 13 Crown ARLINGTON. Ore., March 13 W) Arlington high school eked out a 2(t-to-23 victory over Helix's basketball squad here Saturday night to win the district 13 title and the right to enter the state high school tournament at Salem I his week. The district 13 winner was the last to be determined In playoffs. Teams from 1,1 other district's al ready were preparing for the Balem Jaunt. Hobson Returns from Berkeley Predicts Win Over Coach Howard Hobson returned to Eugene Sunday afternoon from a scouting trip to Berkeley where Qftn,.r.-v ,,!rM l, IMttfotSAfl Mm California Golden Bears qualify for the Pacific Coast Conteronce finals against Oregon. Almost immediately the Web foot mentor went into a huddle with his hoopsters who next Thursday night will open the first championship series in Eu gene since 1027 when the Orc gons dropped two straight to Cali fornia in newly-constructed Mc Arlhur court. Hobby predicted the Bears, who combine bulk with height, and the Webfnots will present one of the fastest "horserace" playoff series in conference history. But t the sanio time maIH he thnindit his team would win the title. Al though Southern California, 42-3G victims at the hands of the Bears, did not attempt to "run" with the southern titlists. Hobby saw enough of their "free swing" of fense to indicate the Rears wnnlH probably try to match the blister ing pace usually set hy Oregon. Shoot and Follow Combined with a so-called fast- breaking offense, the Bears em ploy a slutting man-to-man de fense lll;il Itrm-prl vnrv ffneti,. against tlif Trojans. The Califor nia oiien.se actually appeared to he based on shooting and follow ing the shots with the Berkeley hoopsters taking a great many I loin tries lrom all angles, actually appeared to be based on shooting and following the shots with the Berkeley hoopsters tak ing a great many field tries from all angles. The Rears are strictly a "team" aggregation with "BlB Hill" Oeit- vie the only star as was indicated by the southern division all-star selections that named California's giant 220-pound center along with three II. S. C. players and one Petal on the first team. Hobson had high praise (or Ogilvle who specializes m one-handed heaves from far out. He shook hi hatfiH however, regarding the style of Play in the southern league meaning the interpretations of the rules. HODDy intimated the Cali fornians plav a roueh hrnUmc style and may find difficulty with northern officiating. Plltwo and Hcnlgea University of California of ficials, incidentally, have nnnrnved the selection of F.mll PIHiso and Frank lionises as referees for the series. The southern champions 16 Irons: will arrive, in inon Thursday noon, according to Anse Cornell, athletic manager. The Wchfo.'ts were h 11 n H A a one-hour blackboard drill Sun day afternoon with Hobson nhm- ning his ehanimonshtn mmnilm with chalk and slate. Monday af ternoon the entire squad was scheduled for a two-hour work out Which will le followed by one-hour sessions Tuesday and Wednesday. The OrefOM were all on hand Sunday afternoon when Hohson returned and appeared In fine spirits, anxious to get a crack at the Califoi nia Bears and avenee two stlnichl defeats suffered . the hands of Stanford in last year's conference plavoff. Tteket Office In I prnar After more than a week of rest the strain of the suicide northern division campaign was gradually disappearing and the recovery was quite nolicable. Bobby Anei, who was out of the final Wash ington game a week ago Saturday with a dislocated hand, is ex pected to be in top shape for the Thursday night opener. In the meantime Ticket Man ager Ed Walker, Anse Cornell and a crew of some 15 helpers were going around in circles at the Igloo headquarters Sunday. But Monday the staff started filling confirmed orders that were re ceived more than a week ago. Cornell said that starting at noon Monday, ticket applications re ceived following the setting of March lti-18 dates for the play off were being given preference over early unconfirmed applica tions. Although orders were still being accepted, the ticket office would not guarantee accommodations until later in the week. U.S.C. game, before leaving for the north conferred with John Bunn of Stanford, N.C.A.A. dis trict commissioner who will choose the coast representative. Hobson told Bunn should Ore gon win the conference the prox imity of the playoff series to the N.C.A.A. tournament would work no hardship on the Oregon team. Bunn had suggested that perhaps the conference champion, having I just played a strenuous series, would be ton tired to be a fit representative in the N.C.A.A. The western team will com pete with Texas, the southwest representative, Utah State of the Rocky Mountain district, and the Drake, Missouri, Oklahoma A and M. and Oklahoma. Bears "Coming Bark" BERKELEY, Calif., March 13 ii University of California's basketball team will be doing a lot of resting before the Bears clash with University of Oregon for the Pacific Coast Conference championship at Eugene, Ore., starting Thursday night. "My kids are just coming back and I'm going to rest them a couple of days," said Coach C. M. "Nibs" Price of the tall Bears who won the southern division title Saturday night with a bitterly-fought l2-to-3ti victory over Southern California. The first University of Califor nia team since 1032 to win the southern division title will en train Wednesday night and will arrive in Eugene about Thursday noon. Price believes his team has a "better than even" chance to beat the Webfoots. Price Eyes Hardy "I've been too doggone busy trying to get the kids into the southern division championship to pay much attention to Oregon," said Price. "All I know Is that they're tall in three forward spots and that they use a zone defense system with those three big fellows, "Slim" Wintermute, Laddie Gale, and Bob Hardy, in the hack line. "But I think we have more than Hn equal change to win." Bill Ogilvle, the six-foot-six center who rang up 12 points In the first half against U.S.C, is the biggest player on the Cali fornia team. Wintermute towers six-tect-eight. ' 1 guess Ogilvie will have to go to work for once," Trice re marked. The kiM-nul-. 11 l.
