in Madison
Square Oar dan
last Saturday
night before 19,000 spectators.
Howard Hobson's Webfoota. com
posed of towering giants, fell before
a diminutive City College quintet,
96 to 38. According to presa reports
of the game, the tint of Oregon'a
barnatorralng aeries, the tiny New
Yorkers presented a defense that
practically stymied the Webfoots'
driving offense, and an attack that
bewildered oregon'a defense no end
On the face of things, thla game
might tend to give birth to the
belief that the "big man, little man"
theory la all wet.
Howevor, there are several things
to take Into consideration regarding
tha game In question. One of them
is that Oregon waa undoubtedly tired
from lta long cross-country train
fide. Another, and even more lnv
portant, la that the Webfoota were
playing In New York City before a
.huge assemblage of probably the
most critical basketball fans in the
world, which wouldn't exactly pro
duce a great amount of relaxation
In the players, highly essential In
'the maple court game,
Most Important of all, though,
ll the fact that the Oregon team,
composed of unquestionably good
big men, was facing a City Col
lege quintet made up of EXTRA
OOOI) little men. Coached hy the
famous Nnt llolman, tho New
York team was not Just u good
little team, but a great team.
Oregon may have a great big
team, and wo believe It has, bat
the New Yorkers undoubtedly
have a greater little team, a bet
ter team than even Oregon's great
big team.
All of which may seem a little
Involved, but It la a perfeot oxample
of a theory we have long upheld In
the face of sharp vocal opposition
from certain local cltlzene. we be
lieve, and alwaya will, that a greater
little man la hotter than Just a great
big man. or that a good little mnn la
better than a mediocre big man.
Naturally, with everything elac being
equal, we would take the big fellow
over the runt, but It la not often
you find everything else equal.
Thare la one aohool of thought In
thla town that believes, no matter
what, tha long-legged, lanky casaba
toaser should forever be relegating
his shorter brethren to the bench,
regardless of how good the ahrlmp
la or how lousy the lanky guy hap.
pena to be. We dispute that theory,
and point to Bob Anet of Oregon,
Oharlea Warren of Ashland, Eddie
Durno. ex-Orcgon star and the entire
City College of New York team as
Just a few examplea of little men
who were Just too good to alt on the
sidelines while the big boys played.
