THE
Firing
Line
t>y rAi t< til66h;L.U
Oregon’s zone defense was as
impregnable as the allied lines at
Verdun or Stonewall Jackson at
Chatanooga in Saturday's melee at
Corvallis.
The Beavers could no more pen
etrate it with their ring-around
the-rectangle passing than they
could take wings and soar into the
bucket. Around and around they
heaved the old melon, but instead
of "arounding” it still more, until
they worked it in, they chose to
cast off from way out and waste
all their hard work.
For that matter, the poor
Staters could do nothing better.
They took more shots than usual
and somebody said they were
"off,” but the real trouble was that
most of their heaves were distinct
ly of the prayer variety. They
couldn't get inside that zone de
fense.
The Webfcots didn’t play their
best game of the season Saturday,
but they looked good. ..Most im
proved gent on the floor was Lad
die Gale, who never before in his
not-too-lengthy varsity career has
so sparkled. Gale was in there at
both backboards and he took the
tip consistently after Slim Win
termutc was banished on fouls. If
you’ll recall, Mr. Gale also blew
in nine helpful points, more than
the margin of victory.
Johnny Lewis, Bobby Anet. and
Dave Silver were scrapping all the
way. Ken Purdy, who has the
Beavers seared so stiff that you
can almost hear their collective
vertebrae rustle every time he
steps on the floor, again demon
strated how to completely ruin a
zone defense.
If Art Merryman or Hub Tuttle
had hit the long ones the way
Purdy plunked ’em home, Oregon’s
zone might have been drawn out
a bit and made a little less stone
wall-like.
Purdy’s two long swishers, how
ever, were the only field goals of
the way-out variety scored by Ore
gon, and the Duck total of field
buckets was an even dozen. Most
of the Webfoot baskets came
either through mass penetration of
the Beaver zone or because Hob
by's lads broke down the court so
fast and furious that they had the
ball through the strings before the
Bevos could get set.
When it comes to fighters, dish
out a big bowl of credit to this
guy Merryman. Ever since he
started playing ball under Mush
Torson at Corvallis high Art
Merryman has been a scrapper. In
the state prep tournament back in
1933, as a junior, he led a surpris
ing Corvallis team into the semi
finals and within a whisker of the
final round.
With Oregon State behind, 31 to
22, and apparently hopelessly
through, with only five minutes
left and our Ducks going great
guns, Mr. Merryman made a gal
lant gesture. First he scampered
madly down the floor to take a
pass from big Harris and lay it in
at the left. Then, on the next tip.
which Gale took, he scooped the
ball from outstretched Oregon
arms in the front court
and dribbled away from the pack
to flick one in at the left. Which
was due signal for an Oregon time
out, a rendition of “OSC. our hats
are off to you,” and a few other
things.
But Merryman was Oregon
State’s one and only threat. The
rest of the lads were just numbers
out there in a pitifully futile at
tempt to puncture a zone defense
which wouldn't give an inch. Hob
by Hobson beat Slats Gill at his
own defensive tactics. The Beavers
checked in with only one field goal
in the entire first half and just
four in the second. If our lads had
hit their free throws or had they
had as many chancecs to hit ’em
as the Staters it would have been
massacre.
Often basketball of the high
school variety seems a little slow
after you’ve just witnessed a rip
roaring college exhibition. Satur
day night on the boards of Mc
Arthur was a prep ball game
which seemed even faster than var
sity stuff. Certainly it topped a lot
of the college kind in thrills.
The Igloo was still aglow when
your commentator pulled in from
Corvallis the other night, and there
was nothing to do but see the last
of the B league tournament.

Drill for Campaign’s
Final Home Game
Jubilant over their 33 to 26 lac

Webfoot basketball team will set
tle down today primed to make it
four in a row over the Staters.
Oregon State's Beaver hoopmen
will come to Eugene Friday for a
final chance to down the Ducks.
It will be Oregon’s final home
game of the regular northern divi
sion race.
One of the main features of Sat
urday's “civil war” fray in Cor
vallis was a battle of defenses.
Coach Howard Hobson out master
minded Oregon State's wily Slats
Gill by countering a zone defense
against a zone.
Coach Hobson's crew compiled
by throwing a truly strong defense
against the Orangemen, holding
them to but five field goals. Mean
while Oregon filtered through the
Beaver zone for a total of 16
buckets.
It was truly an eight man per
formance, however. Laddie Gale
went in at center after Slim Win
termute had been forced out on
fouls and contributed three field
goals and three free throws for
nine points. Bill Courtney was a
big help in the defensive wall, and
the afore-mentioned. Purdy left
little doubt as to his shooting eye.

The Beta Theta Pi volley ball
team continued its rampage by
running through the Phi Sig team
in two straight games, 15-6, 15-1,
to win their fourth straight game.
The Phi Sigs had previously been
undefeated.
After winning the first game
fairly easily, the Betas led by Wil
son Siegmund, opened up and ran
through the second game in quick
order. The Phi Sigs were way off
form compared with their previous
games.
Frank Hitchcock showed up well
for the losers.
In the best game of the after
noon, Omega Hall beat out the
Phi Psis in the odd game, 15-7,
and' took two out of three games.
They split the first two games
with Omega Hall winning the first
15-12 and losing the second 15-9.
The Hall boys started the game
with only four men and eked out a
close decision. They added a player
in the second game and the Phi
Psis won going away, but Omega
Hall came back in the third game
to win the series, in a game closer
than the score indicated. The ser
ies was featured by hard rallies
by both teams.
Bob Kidder of Omega Hall was
the outstanding player on the
court with Ed Stanton and Fred
Carlson starring for the Phi Psis.
The Theta Chis won their first
game in their league at the ex
pense of the Kappa Sigs but it
took three games to do it. It was
the Kappa Sig's fourth straight
loss.
After dropping the first game
15-7, the smaller Theta Chis
fought back to take the next two
games, 15-6 and 15-9.
McKenzie looked good for the
winners with Terjeson and Rob

Led by tall Ed Wheelock, the
Sigma Chis took two straight
games from the Fijis 15-3 and lo

of the intramural wrestling tourna
ment got under way. Twenty
three bouts were completed during
the day’s session.
Beta Theta Pi dominated the
team standings by winning four
out of six matches. The Kappa

things, losing four out of seven
matches.

The day's most spectacular
event was when A1 Conger, SAE in

Duckling Hoopers
Resume Drilling
Work on Zone Defense
Ant! Offense Take Up
Practice Session
John Warren’s deflated duck
lings resumed their training grind
last night, attempting to work
some of the defects made apparent
by their 41 to 34 defeat at the
hands of a smart playing Oregon
State rook squad.
Practice this week is being de
voted to work on the zone defense.
Warren intends to make his men
familiar both with the use of the
zone defensively and penetrating
of it offensively.
Last Friday night the rooks
used the zone to very good advan
tage and the duckling's failure to
solve the defense proved to be
their margin of defeat. The duck
ling's fast breaking offense was
stopped dead when the rooks form
ed the zone.
The frosh and rooks tangle again
this weekend and this will be the
fourth and last game of the scries.
The frosh hold two victories and
the rooks one. Warren wi)l also
work his men on the handling of
the ball, passing, shooting, and
dribbling. The poor ball handling
in the game Friday night, espec
ially in the first half, was greatly
responsible for the large lead the
rooks were able to build up.
To date the freshmen have won
10 out of 13 contests. Their de
