r THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Unless you actually see things like that ball game at Corvallis the other night, they’re extremely dif ficult to believe. Along with num erous other unfortunates, your correspondent was dumb enough to miss it. Therefore it's a bit hard to comprehend it all. When you read "Tom Brown at Old Yazoo" or "The Sure Shot Boys Fight for Yarvard" or some thing equally breath-taking, even . at the tender age of 11 or 12 years, ' you doubtless snickered with un belief when inspired young ath letes, all lithe and clean, caged last second field goals to win for "our side.” And then, when it came in real life, when the papers, tha radio, and onlookers told us about that Friday thing—well, it was hard to absorb. * * sS A football game won on an 80 yard run as the gun sounds, a baseball game won, 4 to 3, with a home run with the bases full and two out in the last half of tht ninth inning, and a basketball game won like last Friday's — they’re birds of a feather. ( Hoop miracles like that are the kind you remember forever. And they’re the kind you're lucky to sed once in a decade. Many a thrilling struggle has Oregon-Ore gon State rivalry on the maple boards produced. One or two, like the 1926 game at Salem in which Swede Westergren missed a free throw in the last seconds and Ore gon State copped the northern di vision crown by a point, may have had more tense moments. How ever there haven’t been many which you can place on the same } page as Friday’s in the thrill book. * * * When little Bill Courtney caged i a last-minute shot here a year ago and Oregon skinned out, 29 to 27, with 7514 excited customers cheering the teams, it was a thrill with a capital T. And when the Beavers came back late in the season to edge out a fighting Web foot, 28 to 26, with Oregon players missing one setup after another ^ just before the gun, it was more of the same spine-tingling dose. But this thing the other night, when Ken Purdy took Johnny Lewis’ pass and arched home a hope howitzer just at the gun to win after Oregon State had five seconds before “won” on Tuttle's foul shot, takes the banana cake with chocolate icing. Mr. Kenneth Purdy, of the Long Beach Purdys, is a gentleman who j finds it difficult to miss that old | hole which stands out therei in front of the backboard. This is especially true when final seconds are fleeting, points arc needed, and Mr. Purdy is far out on the i floor, from where basketball eti quette usually demands “no shoot ing allowed.” Mr. Purdy sank two long how itzers in three tries to bring the Ducks up to a tie with Union Oil in the final moments of a pre season game at Portland. Down ; at Berkeley he holed eight field goals, most of them long ones, I against California's Bears. Yes, indeed, when the going is rough, give us, by all means, Mr. Kenneth Purdy. * S: !: But for all times, whether the going is rough or smooth, give us a tireless young man named Anet. This Anet fellow is the spark of the outfit. His ball-hawking and feeding make Oregon’s offense possible, his checking on defense (Please turn to page four) Varsity Clashes With WSC Cougars At Pullman Tonight PhiDelts Smoother Stubborn Gamma In Day’s FeatureTilt Sigma Chis Overcome Phi Sigs, Theta Cliis Topple Sigma Nus in B League Games By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC Paced by Kerry Kestley, who scored 10 points, the Beta B team opened its intramural campaign with a decisive 25-to-6 victory over Omega hall. Despite ragged play by both teams, the Betas managed to drop enough through the hoop for a winning margin. The first quarter was all Beta, as Kestley and Conrad scored 13 points while the Omegas were un able to drop one through. The half-time score was 17 to 4. Betas Scoreless Following a cripple shot by Con rad, the Betas were held scoreless until the final session, when Kest ley and Conrad again broke through to complete their team’s scoring. Kliks, McComb, and Johnson shared scoring honors for the Omegas, each dropping in a field goal.

SAEs 13, Gamma G In a game featured by close checking and poor shooting, the SAE B team managed to garne(r a 13-to-6 victory over Gamma hall in the intramural B league race yestrday. Squeak Lloyd opened scoring with a cripple and followed it closely with a foul shot. Another field goal by lanky Bob Arnoldus ended the SAE scoring in the first half. Pa-tton and Pariotis each scored a field goal for Gamma in the ini tial session. Scoring the second half was well distributed for the SAEs, with Kelley, Arnoldus, and Clement each dropping a field goal, while DeArmond and Heilig managed to cage foul shots.

Beta B Quintet Thumps Omega; Yeomen Roul Phi Psis; SAE s Beal Gamma Five By MORRIE HENDERSON In the only A team basketball game of the afternoon in the new gym, the defending champion Phi Delta trounced previously unde feated Gamma hall, 17 to 5, in a wild and wooly game. Both teams were below form and their passing and floor work showed it. As usual, the Phi Delts started slowly and had only a 4-to-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, due to Sid Milligan's field goal and free throws by Big Crosbie and Ed Strohecked. With just a few seconds left in the first half and the score 10 to 0 against Gamma, Bud Helgren, Gamma guard, inter cepted Crosbie’s pass and connect ed with nobody near him for the dorm boy’s first score. In the second half, both teams became tired and the baskets were few and far between. Gamma hall made its last three points in the final minutes of the game, and Pete Thorne’s free throw was com pleted after the last whistle had blown. Ed, Strohecker, Phi Delt center, was high point man with six points, but the real star of the game was Bob Patterson, who held the league’s leading scorer, Bingo Crosbie, to only three free throws. Crosbie failed to make a field goal, after scoring 29 points in his first two games. Summary: Phi Delt A (17) (5) Gamma A White ....:.F. Wilson Wilson, 4 .F., Patterson Strohecker, 6.C.

Theta Chi B 26, Sigma Nu B 14 The Theta Chi B team handed he Sigma Nu B five a 26-to-14 jeating after being held to a four joint lead in the first half. In the second half, the Theta Ghis began hitting the basket re jeatedly to roll up 14 points, in :he meantime holding the Sigma Mus to two field goals, making the :he game a walkaway. Making frequent substitutions, bringing in fresh men thoughout the second half, the Theta Chis ran around the tired Sigma Nus. All rheta Chi players, nine in all, scored at least two points, with Bill McKenic topping all with six points. Scoring 10 of 14 points, Ken Eichner, Sigma Nu center, was the only man the Theta Chis could not stop. kjuiimicu j . Theta Chi (26) (M) Sigma Nu CJoold, 2 .F McCullough McKenzie, 6 .F.

Amato scored 13 points to lead all scorers. The score at half-time was 20 to 1. with Bill Davenport's free throw the only Phi Sig score. Bob Baer and Amato repeatedly got away from opponents to score easy baskets. If it wasn’t Baer or Amato, it was Jack Gould standing free under the basket to score. The second half was a repetition of the first half, with the Sigma Chis rolling up 17 more points and holding the Phi Sigs to a lone field goal and two free throws.
