Huskies to victory, ably aided by
Sophomore Doug Ford. Morris,
who usually sets 'em up for the
boys, was In there shooting n
well last night, collecting "
points, stealing the ball, Intercept
ing Beaver passes, and otherwise
making a nuisance of hlmsef to
the O. S. C. cause. Ford had 13
points and Norm Dalthrop 10.
The first eight minutes were a
dog fight with the Huskies lead
ing five times, O. S. C. twice and
the score tied three times. With
the count tied at 12-all, Ford pop
ped one In, Morris stole the hall
and dribbled the length of the I
floor for another and Ford came
back with a lay-In, all inside a
minute, and the Huskies, leading)
18-12 were never headed after
that.
Mandic's Ouster Costly.
It was 2219 at halftime, and
the Slaters' chances glimmered
when John Mandlc, their ace cen
ter, went out on personals after
only three minutes of the second '
half had been played. Mandlc had
counted 12 points up to that time!
nnd had both backboards under
control. 1 1 ' . '
The Huskies ruthed to a 38-25
lead before relaxing with' re
serves, but when the Beavers
crept up to 42-34, Coach Edmund
son res'ored his Washlngtonlans
to full strength and they won go
ing away, i . . i . , ,, i
Oregon Loses by 1 Point;
! At Moscow Sophomore Norm
Frcdeklnd bagged two field goals
In the last three mlnulcs to over
come an Oregon lead and give
the 'Vandals enough' for victory.
His shots made it 37-31,' and Don
Klrsch of Oregon closed It up at
37-36 in the last minute. t
Idaho added its final point bn a
free throw by high scoring1 cen
ter Hay Turner arteti'ti technical
foul was called against Oregon's
Coach Hobsdn for protesting dur
ing a' time-clock mlxup that near
ly turned the closing seconds into
a free-tor-all, with coaches and
players arguing.
Turner and Forward Ted
Thompson, with 12 points apiece,
led the Idaho scoring, while
Porky Andrews, with 10, led the
Webfools. Idaho led at the half,
19-15, but Oregon forged ahead
at 2U-25 and kept the lead until

Indians in Prime
Shape to Battle
Medford Tonight
The Roseburg High basketball
team faces the league-leading
Medford Tigers In an imports;.!
tussle' tonight at the senior high
gym. The game Is scheduled to
start at 7: 15, to be preceded by a
preliminary between the Rose
burg Bees and Sutherlin high,
which starts at 6:45.
How we'l Medford can recover
from its fray with Ashland last
night will determine to a great
extent the outcome of tonight's
tonlest. Medford has been a 10
man team all year and so prob
ably will still be In good condi
tion. However, according to
Coach Jim Davis, the Indians
have also returned to top form.
In practice sessions this past
week the locals have shown great
improvement over recent appear
ances and all Indications point to
a hot battle tonight.
Roseburg has nothing to lose
ami everything to gain nnd so
will probably try anything. Med
ford on the other hand, has
everything to lose if they don't
win and so will undoubtedly do
their utmost to prevent the In
dians from taking over. The In
dians' condition has Improved
greatly over last week. At that
time they were suffering from
boils and colds and although
there are still signs of these ail
ments, the players have pretty
well recovered from the attack.
One request which the players
and coach have made to the gen-
eral public is that they make
sure that their action Is sports-
manlike. In the last contest the
fans displayed poor sportsman
ship at times and this is poor nr.
uon at any contest. The fans
i are asked to cheer the plavers
and "boo" none.
The Indians have but one con-
test after tonight's fray, so local
tans will want to see the learn Ik'-
fore the season Is over. Roseburg
