    THE
Firing
Line
By PAT FRIZZELL
Their own medicine in great big
bitter doses.
That's what Oregon State's ring
around-the-rosy Beavers had to
gulp down in the rapidly-renovated
Igloo Saturday night.
And 6500 pairs of eyes were
upon them.
When Hobby Hobson sent his
lads out there armed with the
Beavers' own zone defense, a lot>
of the initiated and uninitiated!
were surprised. Among those reg
istering amazement, later dis
gruntlement, were the Beavers.
Since way back Slats Gill has
had his gang using zone defenses.
And time and again that impene-1
trable zone formation of his has
been impregnable. Three seasons
ago it was Billy Reinhart’s Web
foots who did the waltz - me - j
around-again passing. If I recall
correctly, they once trimmed the
Beavers, 16 to 9, with an offense
similar to that used by Oregon
State the other night.
Well, it was zone against zone
Saturday, and the drive of the
Bucks opened up the Beavers. Rut
the long arms of our lads zoned
out the Oregon State attack and
it paid practically no dividends.
* * *
Just about twice all evening the
Beavers worked the sphere
through that zone defense. If it
hadn't been for Hub Tuttle out on
the foul line they'd have been mas
sacred. As it was, it took free
throws to keep them within hail
ing distance.
But it wasn't Oregon State im
potency that won that game. It
was Oregon proficiency. The Ducks
honestly earned the title of “driv
ing Ducks” as they pounded down
and through the Beaver guard.
* * *
Most improved ball player in
this league is John Lewis. An in
spiration to the team is acting- \
captain John. Those five field
goals he chucked into the mesh I
Saturday night were instrumental
in keeping the Webfoots up there
in the race. .They put Lewis in
fourth place in division scoring for
the season.
Unlike most of the Webfoots,
Lewis is near the twilight, not
dawn, of his collegiate career.
Three short years and you’re out
in varsity sports, and John Lewis
is going out on top of the heap.
Ken Purdy can pinch hit on my
team any day. Mr. Purdy not only
capably steps into a breach and
rings the bell with long ones in
the clinch. He can also jump into a
vacated spot in the lineup and go
to town.
Purdy never played ball like that
before here, even when he piled up
the field goals in droves. It wasn't
his shooting.' It was the aggres
siveness of the lad out there. He
intercepted passes right and left
and hawked the ball in Anet-Jo
hansen, fashion.
Bouquets, and plenty of them, to !
Bobby Anet, who sank four field ;
goals in seven shots, soloed'
through the whole Beaver team
once, and did everything else sev
eral times; to big Slim Winter
mute, who is more aggressive and
valuable every time out, and to

Huskies Prepare
For WSC Games
Etlniuiulsou May Inject
New Men In Lineups
Crucial Series.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHING
TON, Seattle, Feb. 7.—(Special)—
Badly battered, but still in the
northern division basketball title
race, Washington’s Huskies re
turned to their home campus last
week to rest up from the disas
trous Oregon road trip and prepare
for the Washington State series
here February 12 and 13.
Three losses out of four starts
against the Beavers and Ducks
has convinced Hec Edmundson
that new life must be injected into
the faltering Husky lineup within
the next two weeks. Consequently,
two new faces may appear in the
opening five when Washington en
tertains Washington State in the

this season, will journey to the
coast for two contests this week

Tho frosh, it was announced by
Mentor Warren yesterday, wiU

(Please turn to page four)
most decisive series of the season'
as far as the Huskies are con
cerned.
Edmundson was well satisfied
by the performance of Jack Gan
non, sparkling forward, and the
fine effort turned in by George
Ziegenfuss, red-thatched sopho
more guard, on the road trip, and
both are welll established in the
hoop picture.
In addition, Pat Dorsey, another
fast-coming sophomore, may
crowd his way into the starting
five, replacing Ed Loverich, who is
in the depths of a slump which has
lasted all season, and is handicap
ped by a toe injury received last
week.
The inability of the veterans,
Egge, Wagner, and Loverich, to
work effectively with the new
comers, Voelker and Gannon, has
been the chief difficulty Edmund
?on has faced, but a week's prac
tice will furnish Edmundson
enough time to arrive at a smooth
working lineup.

Games Next Week
Friday—Washington State at
Washington, Idaho at Oregon.
Saturday—Washington State at
Washington, Idaho at Oregon.
Oregon’s second place Webfoots
opened intensive preparations last
night for their final six game dash
down the home stretch of this
year's hectic northern division bas
ketball race.
Facing the high-riding Ducks in
Eugene Friday and Saturday will
be the University of Idaho's Van
dal quintet, winding up their four
game series.
In the midst of a tumultuous
three-way fight for first place in
the conference, the Webfoots must
have two victories over Idaho to
stay in the race, and are out to
get them.
Idaho Fighting Bitterly
Coach Howard Hobson is antici
pating two of the season's bitterest
games from Forrest Twogood’s
stubborn Vandals. On the Inland
Empire trip three weeks ago,
Idaho put up two terrific struggles
before losing by margins of two
and three points.
Hobson spent a major portion of
yesterday’s session discussing Ida
ho formations, and weaknesses
evidenced by the Ducks in Satur
day's Oregon State game.
The Ducks went through a light
scrimmage yesterday against Ida
ho plays before calling it a day.
They also worked on individual
defensive play.
•Johansen to Return
Wally Johansen, Webfoot guard,
is rapidly recovering from flu, and
should be back in action the latter
part of the week. Johansen heard
the Oregon State game from a bed
in the infirmary.
Coach Hobson is planning on
stressing both zone and man-for
man defense in practice this week,
although it is probable the team
will use a man-for-man against
Idaho this week-end.
Against Idaho on the Inland
Empire trip, the Webfoots held
Twogood’s Vandals under 30 points
in both games, but failed to pro
duce the offense they showed Sat
urday against Oregon State.
Work Against Idaho Plays
Special work against Idaho de
fensive maneuvers will undoubted
ly be one of the main things em
phasized in practices this week.
Idaho uses a deliberate, slow
moving attack similar to the one
used by Slats Gill’s Orangemen.
Saturday night the Webfoot of
fense was clicking.—With Purdy
hitting them from outside Oregon
State’s zones and Lewis, Anet,
Silver, and Gale hitting them from
all over the court, Oregon simply
failed to give the Orangemen an
opening.
The defeat definitely put Oregon
State out of any further title hopes
and put Oregon up in the swim
again. The Webfoots have two
games each against Washington,
Oregon State, and Idaho left on
their slate.
