The squad, which was selected a few weeks ago from a turnout of more than 50 hoopmen, has shown promise in recent practice sessions, but will have to improve consid- erably to equal the record of the 1936 squad which won the Pacific Northwest Intercollegiate cham- pionship and then finished in third place in the Olympic Games tour-! nament, the highest of any college team. When the season opens on De- cember 21 with the first of a three game non-conference series with the University of Michigan, Coach Edmundson will undoubtedly have a veteran five as his starting line- up. Center Spot The center spot, which was left vacan{ by the graduation of Ralph Bishop, the only college player on the U. €. Olympic Games squad, is n C ipied by Chuck Wag- all-Coast forward last year. Wagner, although he is only an inch over 6 feet tall, is a good jumper and a brilliant all around player Last year’s frosh center, Dick Voelker, and a transfer from Kan® sas, Jack Lowe, are pushing Wagner, but lack the experience 1 B s o v ) ATTY SPORTS CARTOON— Forward Positions | In the forward positions are Ed Loverich, last year’s leading scm‘-‘ er, and Jack Gannon, another vet- eran. Little Hunt Paterson, the| dynamo of the squad, is the only| other forward with varsity exper-| ience, but Bob Reese, a transfer from Missouri, and Pat Dorsey from last year’s frosh are showing up well. Bob Egge, the best ball-handler and defensive player cn the squad,| has a firm grip on his old guard, position, and has Walt Kastner,| last year’s substitute for Bob Mc-| Kinley, as his running mate. George | Ziengenfuss, a tall, sharp-shooting sophomore, is liable to oust Kast- | ner from a starting position before the season ends. | Delay in laying the varsity floor in the Pavilion has caused the squad to practice in the small intramural| gym, théreby hampering the shoot-| ing practice of the team. { Coach Edmundson intends sched-' uling practice games with Seattle commercial teams to get the team ready for the Michigan series Dr-‘ cember 21, 22 and 23. | | e A S | i Forbids Germans to Join Foreign Press Societies BERLIN, Dec. i.—An ordinance | issued by Director Max Ammann of the Reich Press Chamber for- bids German corresopndents abroad | to belong to any foreign club or | international association.

Clarence Mc- |Kay (Ace) Parker of their football team as “Duke’s ideal undergrad- luate” will tell you that “it’s only |the beginning for Parker.” They will tell you that you've only heard of him as one of the greatest football player in South- ‘ern gridiron history (incidentally, |they think he’s the best in Ameri- ;can football history) but that there will be years to come when you’'ll 'hear of him as one of the greatest |of major league baseball players. They will tell you that “their Ace” is a money athlete—one who |can run 100 yards for a touchdown !when the score is tied—one who can come up in the last of the ninth with one on, team one run behind, take two and hit one out of the park for the ball game. | Five-Letter Man They will tell you that because they've seen him for years. They've seen him roam the gridiron, they've !seen him on the basketball floor, they've seen him in the ball park, lon the golf links, on the tennis court, in the swimming pool, on !the cinder path. They will tell you that he's one lof the greatest all-around athletes |in this country's history. Even the {coaches of the various sports at Duke will tell you he could make i]eners in football, basketball, and (baseball (he did that last year) ‘and in track, golf, tennis and swim- |ming, if time allowed his partici- pation. { At Woodrow Wilson high in iPortsmuuth. Va., he did make let- }ters in football, basketball, base- [ball, track and golf. ] Jack Coombs Agrees But, getting back to this “only the beginning” stuff: He has been trailed by big league scouts since he came to Duke. He is said to be able to go into any big league ,camp and field the outfield with ,any of them. All he needs is a lit- itle brushing up on his hitting. He \has a hard time hitting that curve ball—don’t they all? Take it from Jack Coombs, the former “iron man” of Connie Mack’s |great teams from 1906-14, who says: “He is a great competitive athlete He has the fielding ability. He takes a nice cut at the ball. He may become in major league base- ball as great as he has been in college football. He has the some- thing it takes.” | As for Parker himself, this mod- est, rugged gentleman, and schol- BRIEE- IKES BLukL DEVILS' HISTORY two out, his| | tories in seven years over its tradi- e PUT HIM ERY SENSITIVE ABOUT HIS STATION By Pup TRIPLE- RATED THE ' ., [ BACK IN THE 5~ | 1 1 1 | Ll R e im'. has two gretat ambitions: He |wants to be an all-American foot-‘i ball player and he wants to be a major league baseball player. REACHES HIGH POINTS OF ALL STATES INUS, Railroad Telegrapher Com-| pletes Odd Task— Two Years at One VANCOUVER, B. C, Dec. 10— The hobby of Arthur H. Marshall has led him from & hill back of an Illinois farmer's barn to the loft- iest peaks in the land but he has attained his goal—to stand on the! top spot of every State. “You'd be surprised wnere I found i some of those high spots,” smiled | the railroad telegrapher, as he dis- cussed his quest for the highest . | elevation in each of the forty-eight States. That barnyard hill was tops in Illinois. Delaware’s summit was in a back yard. Ohio’s peak was a cornfield knoll. Indiana came nearest to stump- ing him. There were conflicting data on the State's high point. He solved the question by visiting all points in question. Granite Peak in the Beartooth Mountains east of Montana was one of the easiest tops to find but the hardest to reach. Marshall, a climber for nineten years, had to scale an 11,000-foot peak, then de- scend 1700 feet before going up the 12,851-foot granite pinnacle. It took two years. “The first time I found myself stopped by unscalable rock walls within a few hundred feet of the summit. From there, however, I thought I saw a route which would In a parade of six touchdowns before a sellout crowd of 40,000 at Seattle, the University of Washington Huskies won the Pacific Coast Conference championship and the right to play in the Rose Bowl by defeating their nearest rivals, the Washington State College Cougars, 40 to 0. Here is Al Cruver, sophomore Washington fullback, as he scored on a 15-yard dash. That tackle by Ed Goddard (28), Washing- ton State ace, was a little bit late. (Associated Press Photo) lowed the new path without dif- ficulty.” Marshall, former Hendersonville, Pa., resident, has recorded his mountain treks in a 1,200-page ledger. It tells of 388 ascents, in- cluding the summits of the forty- eight States. He has scaled eight Colorado peaks, each more than 14,000 feet high. Why did he do it? “For the per- sonal satisfaction it gave him.” e o AT THE HOTELS | - * Gastineau M. W. Odom, Juneau; Mrs. Kay Davis, Seattle; Sam Price, Seattle. Alaskan C. V. Titcomb, Juneau; A.
