Frosh Smother Lebanon; Cougars Claw Webfoots Duck Tracks By BOB FLVVELLE, Co-Sports Editor Big Paul Lindeman, Cougar center and a likeable guy if there ever was one, is apparently a firm believer that exercise off the basketball court is unhealthy. At least the stories his teammates tell about him indicate that he never stands when eh can sit down, and never sits down when he can lie down... to him, walking is a silly form of physical exercise that will bring good to no man. ♦ Lindeman Would Rather Ride From “Sundy” Sundquist, the light-hearted sharp-shooting guard on Jack Friel's Washington State quintet, comes the story that when the team arrived at the Eugene station, everyone picked up their bags and started hiking the five blocks to their quarters at the Osburn hotel—that is everyone but Lindeman hiked. No form of persuasion could make the huge boy budge, lie just sat right where he was and waited patiently for a taxi to show up, and rode in state to his destination, protesting all the way that it was about time taxis were built so a person could lie down while making such a tiring journey. Although Friel is in constant fear that Lindeman will be left behind in some soft easy chair, he never has to worry about his center’s whereabouts once the hotel is reached. While the other Cougar players are out looking the town over or taking in a show, Lindeman can always be found in * his room—in bed—relaxing so he won’t get tired. Washington State players have great respect for the Oregon State Beavers, to whom they lost two heart-breakers at Corvallis, but the concensus of opinion is that last year's Northern division champions from Beavcrvillc were superior to the present Oregon State quintet. They argue that the gaps left by the graduation of Tony Romano and Frank Mandic are too great for Clayton Shaw and Jack Mulder, to fill. Shaw is respected for bis close checking and keen-eyed long shooting but lacks the steadiness and height of Mandic, according to the Cougar basketballers. Between Webfoots and Beavers The teams to beat this season are Oregon State and Oregon— it will be a dogfight between those two squads for the 1941 cham pionship. The Washington Staters didn't say that outright but by listening between the lines of their conversation it was easy to see that they didn’t consider Idaho or Washington great threats. Of course there is a slight possibility that they might consider a certain team from Pullman a title threat, despite the fact that they dropped their first two games. The Washington State squad this year is truly a closed or ganization. Every member is a product of a Washington ^ high school. There isn't a player on the squad that doesn’t call the Northwest state his home. Incidentally, Oregon isn’t far behind the Cougars in this respect. Vic Townsend, Joe Triano, and Porky Andrews are the only “furriners” on the Duck squad. Universal Newsreel To Shoot Rifle Teams At Outdoor Practice < Boys' and gills’ rifle teams will be photographed in action by Uni versal news reel photographer, Paris Emery, Sunday afternoon, according to the University news bureau.

Warren’s Quintet Wins In Opener Berrypickers Beaten 43-15 by 1941 Ducklings; Walt Kresse Tops All Scorers With Nine Points; Game Was Ragged By LEE FLATBERG The yearling hoopmen ran, stumbled, and fumbled around and about a smaller Lebanon five Friday afternoon to hang up their first victory of the season, 43 to 15. The frosh passed badly, and muffed rebounds, but made up for their numerous errors by a basket barrage that assured them of a win after the first few min utes of play. The Ducklings opened their scoring fast when Rog Dick dropped a shot in the first few seconds of play, followed by two quick ones by Bill Gissberg. Lloycl Jackson added one more be fore Simpsen, Lebanon forward, countered with a foul, pitch. The Ducklings added three quick bas kets to gain a 13 to 1 lead, a lead which they never relinquished. The score at half time was 23 to 7. Kresse Was High Walt Kresse. diminutive frosh guard came out of the fray with scoring honors, caging four shots from the floor and a foul shot to amass nine points. Bob Sheridan rang up three baskets and - two foul shots for eight counters to tie with Jackson, who dumped in four baskets from the floor, for runner-up scoring honors. Bill Gissberg, guard from Ev erett, Washington turned in a nice floor game and rang up six points. With a tight man-to-man de fense and Sheridan and Jackson ruling the backboards the frosh held the Berrypickers from Leb anon to three field goals each half. Mad Scoring Kush The second half started in a mad scramble out of which the Ore gon “Little Firs” evolved with eight points before Lebanon could counter. Continuing their drive, the yearlings struck with five field goals while holding the hapless Lebanon five to two successful shots to finish the game in a blaze The freshman team will play the Dallas high school team Saturday at 3:30 on McArthur col rt. of scoring.

The exhibit will last only (ill Saturday so the two faculty mem bers had to leave before the end of the week in order to sec the work.

His smile was ) as good as any well-plarned sun-1 rise, .-.laris. Friel, smiling good matured coach of the Washington State Cougars held out his hand, exchanged a few words and turned to a dozen or so nail-biting Cou- 5 gar hoopmen lolled about the room, "Yo may go now, boys,” he said.

WSC Hoopers Pull Awai) From Duck Five, 48-3 9 Jack Friel's Men Gain Besi Average; Rebounds Even (Continued from page one) Washington Stato had the host individual average — five field goals in 12 attempts, followed by Anderson with si v in 15 and Hill Borcher with three in seven. Boreher was one of the most effective men on the floor for his time in the game. He scored nine points and grabbed eight of the Oregon rebounds. Oregon's I.cad Lindemann drew first blood tor the Cougars with a free throw- at tempt. Then Oregon stepped into the lead and held it until I t min utes had gone by in the first half. Anderson and Townsend did the trick with field goals and free throws. So well were the Cougars held down that, they failed to score a field goal until nine and a half minutes had passed. After 14 minutes, Lindemann began to pull Duck tailfeathers. He scored on a pass from Owen Hunt. Townsend made a free shot and the score was i) to (i lor Oregon. Then Lindemann boost ed the Cougar score with a rush. Three times he tallied for six points without interruption. Borcher entered the game and broke up Lindemann’s fun. War ren Taylor and Anderson came through for Oregon. Then Kirk Gebert tied it up at the half, 14 to 14. Butts started the Cougar snarl in the second period. The Cougars challenged and Oregon was unable to do anything about it. Oregon tied the score at 16 to 16 and then fell into the backwash of the Cou gar attack. Butts, Lindemann, and Gebert carried the brunt of the scoring spree during the second period. Oregon would climb to within four or six points of the Washington Staters and then fall behind again when Butts and com pany started to roll again. WNC margin Lengthens Time and again as the Webfools were creeping up on the Cougars, Matmen Maul Way Into Second Round Intramural wrestling went into second stages today as wrestlers from all the men's living organizations grunted and groaned for fame.

As the time raced on and the fans were becom ing more exhausted swishing their heads as if watching a tennis match, the Washington State mar gin rose with the stock of Oregon State and Washington in the Nor : thorn division. Coach Hobby Hob son shoved Wally Borrevik, Bor cher, Taylor, Anderson, and Mar shik into the game at various in tervals to gain command of tne backboards, but even without Lindernann in the lineup, the Frrel mcn managed to hold their own. Only four Oregon men entered the scoring column Anderson, Townsend, P.orcher, and Taylor. Oregon seemed tired during the latter stages of the game, while the Cougars gained confidence and strength.
