The fact that Stanford's Hank Lul
settl, during the course of a recent
basketball game, ran up a total of 80
point all by hla lonesome, lias in
spired sports writers all along the
coast to award Hank the garland for
high scoring honors for all time.
This diversion of laurels that right
ly belong to a prominent Medford
physician, so agitated Horace Brom
ley of this city that he haa written jo
the sport editors of the Oregon Jour
nal and the Oregonlan In Portland.
pointing out a few of the records es
tablished by Dr. E. W. Durno while
be was frolicking on the boards at
Oregon.
Mr. Bromley doeant reveal what
dusty archives he plundered for the
wealth of staggering Durno records,
but his job la so complete that It
leaves one with the feeling that he
should go to the doctor's office and
take off his hat Just by way of hom
age. The letter Is quoted herewith:
To the Sporting Editor,
Oregon Dally Journal,
Portland, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
In looking over today's Sports
Section of the Journal, I was sur
prised to find In the "Tower Lights"
column, credit given to 'Hauk"
Lulsettl of Stanford for establish
ing a Pacific Coast conference rec
ord for Individual scoring. We bas
ketball fans of Medford feel in
clined to challenge that record,
good as It may be, In behalf of a
former University of Oregon star
who la now a prominent resident of
this city. I refer to Dr. Edwin R.
Durno "Eddie" Durno to you
who was all-coast forward for three
years and who Is still remembered
as one of the outstanding basket
shooters of the Pacific coast
. Here's where we feel that the in
dividual scoring record should re
main In good old Oregon rather
than California, On February JO.
1010, while playing forward on the
University of Oregon's coast cham
pionship team, Durno scored 35
points (10 field goals and 16 tree
throws) In a game with Washing
ton State College. The preceding
ntght he annexed 28 points with 8
field goals and 10 free throws, mak
ing a total of 61 points for the two
games. Moreover, this series waa cot
played on the home court, but at
Pullman, Washington. In reviewing
the scores of these games, we find
that Oregon won the first one 38
to 38 and the second 43 to 27
which means that Durno scored 61 !
points out of the total of 81 made :
by the Oregon champs, which Is
some record In Itself I
Now, to challenge another record
mentioned In the same column
that of Bobby Oaler of Washington,
who scored 176 points In 10 games
An excellent record, Indeed, out
once again we rise to defend Ore
gon's honor with the following
facta and figures In- 1910. Eddie
Durno scored a total of 244 points
In 15 games, an average of 16-26
points per game aa compared with
Oaler's average of 11 polnta. Just
for good measure, here's another 1
In 1921 when Oregon won the
Northwest championship with
clean alate, Durno scored a total of
221 polnta In only 13 games or an
average of 17 polnta per game!
For the benefit of present day
I hoop fans, who, perhaps, vision our
fellow townsman, Dr. Durno. as
huge Viking, 6 feet, 8 Inches In
height and wearing a number 13
shoe, let me state that when the
above records were made, "Eddie1
was only 5 feat 7 Inches tall and
weighed but 125 pounds.
This may prove encouraging to
the budding hoop aspirants of to
day, who are trying to make che
weight and height of "Hank" Lul
settl. who Is 6 feet, 2 Inches tall,
or some of the present Oregon
"Grenadiers" who range from a
mere 6 feet, 3 inches to 8 feet. 6
Inches In height and wear shoes
which rival the famous "Seven
league boots.'
The basketball fans of Southern
Oregon would appreciate your mak
ing the above facts public in order
that the aforementioned records
may be rightfully restored to the
State of Oregon which has pro
duced some of the finest athletes of
all time.
Yours very truly,
HORACE L. BROMLEY,
Medford, Ore.

This Chuck Taylor who la to speak
at the Senior high school this after
noon and at Aahland tonight, knows
what he's talking about. He not only
knows what he's talking about but
he has the happy, and rare, faculty
of being able to talk so that people
can tell what he's talking about.
When he explains a play, nearly
everyone can tell what he'a driving
at. One of his most pointed observa
tions Is this: In the last few years,
not a single team has taken the na
tional tournament with the use ol a
"system. "A system," Taylor says,
"handicaps a basketball team. One
team that looks like a world beater
will come to the tournament, and in-
other bunch wll come out of the
sticks some place and lick the pants
off them."
'The reason Is that the bunch
from the sticks don't have to worry
about a system. All they have to
worry about Is getting more points
than the tother guya, and so far they
have never failed to do Just that."

SEATTLE. Feb. 8. (AP) With the
University of Washington Huskies
ntil) on a victory rampage, Oregon
State College's Beavers will take over
the Job at Corvallls tonight of at
tempting to make the northern di
vision Pacific coast conference bas
ketball race more than a one-team
affair.
The Huskies continued their vic
tory maroh at the expense of Ore
gon's Webfootera last week-end,
walking away with a top-aided 43-23
decision Friday and eking out a 35
31 win Saturday, marking up their
fifth and sixth straight victories In
the league record books.
The series ended the season's play
between the two teams, with the
Huskies making a "grand slam" of
the four contests.
Oregon State, although the under
dogs In tonight's battle, were In a
nice spot to dump over the Husky
apple-cart. A double win for the
Beavers on their own floor would
shove them up a half-game ahead of
Washington In the standings.
At Pullman Saturday night, Ida
ho's six -times defeated Vandals up
set the dope and hauled Washington
State down a notch closer to the
cellar with a 33-30 win.
In addition to the Husky-Beaver
series, other conference tussles hts
week will see the Cougars and Van
dals renew hostilities, meeting at
Moscow Friday and Jumping to Pull
man for another argument .Saturday,
and the two Oregon teams battling
at Corvallls Saturday.
The conference standings:
