Duck Tracks By KEN CHRISTIANSON, Co-Editor of Sports Take the Oregon basketball team, pick the two most valuable players based on Friday's performance against Oregon State, and tlie names read will be George “Porky” Andrews and “Wild Bill” Boreher on everyone’s score sheet. Many were amazed when Andrews started playing the driving type of ball this year which few thought him capable of, but more were sur prised at Boreher's showing. Boreher came north last year with Vic Townsend, Buck Berry, and a few of the boys. All year long, Bill labored hard and was rewarded with time in seven games during the course of the conference season. He made the 7,500 mile swing eastward and was used as a reserve center and forward. Then came this year. Boreher was plenty aggressive, al though he Avas a bit slow on his feet. He was left off the squad this year for the eastern trip to give sophomores experience. Boreher kept plugging away, and he was the mainstay of the super-Dueks. Boreher Promises Competition “We’re going to give those boys some stiff competition when they come hack,” said Bill after Hobby Hobson and ten men pulled out for New York. He meant that it would be a team competition and not individual competition. In the meantime, the super-Bucks (or Bangers as they disliked to be called) dis integrated. Came the WSC series and Boreher's chance to prove his worth. He was still a substitute but he made nine points and collected eight of the team's 45 rebounds during the ev ening. The next evening, he fared worse—no points, but he was a tower of strength under the backboards. Then against Oregon State, Boreher sparked the second half Oregon offensive. Boreher really started it with a basket. Townsend followed with a couple more, then Boreher tallied again. He grabbed 22 of the team’s 52 rebounds—leaving GO for the rest of the Bucks to divide. Bill Copies 'Unguardable' Shot Boreher has been a scoring threat, based on two games. lie has made 19 points in three games as against five during the whole season last year. Boreher failed to earn a letter last year, but this year should be another story with another ending. His scoring has been the result of his new shot—a close duplicate of Hank Anderson’s leap-in-the-air-with-half-gain er throw. Boreher worked on it during the week prior to the OSC game and came out with the finished product good for 10 points. The difference between the two “unguardables” lies in Bor eher 's leap in the air. Ilis legs are straighter than Hank’s— not bent. Boreher does not fall away from the basket as does Anderson, and the trajectory of his shot is much flatter—more of a straight heave as if the ball were following a tight line. Anderson arches his shot slightly. Another Warren Unbeatable Product Watch John Warren’s basketball players this season. As if last season’s record of 16 wins in 17 games were not enough, “Honest John” has gathered together a team which lias won three games in rapid succession. Warren took Bob Newlaud and a flock of reserves to Marshfield Saturday. The result was 63 to 16. Newlaud stood back near the edge of the keyhole and tossed in 27 of the freshman points. “He just stood back there and kept flicking them in with his wrists—what wrists!”’ said Warren in Monday’s prac tice. In the meantime, Bill Gissberg, Ken Simonsen, Lloyd Jackson, Bob Sheridan, and Rog Dick were scrimmaging against the varsity. Basket followed basket in rapid suc cession as the frosh out-pointed the varsity during the reg ular 40-minute playing period. The frosh won, 49 to 45, and still led by a point or two after another 10-minute period. In three games against high school { opposition the freshmen have scored 160 points against 59. This is an average of 53.3 against 19.7 for the opposition. Frosh vic tims have been Marshfield; Dallas, 54 to 28; and Lebanon, 43 to 15. * FLYING HIGH!

Trailing Washington State by five points at half time, the Ducks let their opponents take a 10 point lead early in the second period be fore doing anything about the sit uation. Fighting furiously to ov ercome the advantage, Coach How ard Hobson's men closed the gap at 32 to 32 midway in the final half. Lindeman Tops Scorers From then on, the contest was tied up five different times as the teams took turns dropping the ball through the bucket. With but three minutes to go and the score knotted at 40 all, Paul “Bunyan” Lindeman sneak ed through the Oregon defenses under the backboard to score the last of his evening’s total of 19 points. ..Vern Butts followed immediately with a one-hander from the side. He was fouled on the play and sank the gif ter, making the score 45-40 with less than two minutes to go. Baskets by Evert McNeeley and Paul Jackson brought the Ducks within reach of the Cougars, but the seconds were fleeting and Butts dropped another tally to cinch the contest Lindeman with 19 tallies was high man for the night Next came Butts of Washington State with 13, Bill Borcher and “Porky” An drews of Oregon with 11 each, Vic Townsend with 9 and Hank Anderson with 7. Anderson and Borcher were ex pelled from the game late in the last half with four fouls against them.

Sigma Chis Trounce PiKA by 32-3 Count In Don utAHoo d Tilt By FRED TREADGOLD In this young season’s most one-sided game the Sigma Chis squelched a sadly outclassed l’i Kappa Alpha hoop five Tues day, 82 to 3 in a game which definitely tabbed the Sweet hearts as a titular threat. From the opening basket, shot in the game’s early minutes, the win ners showed their superiority over the Pi Kaps who were dogged throughout with bad breaks. Halftime score was 15 to 0 while at the third quarter mark the count was 20 to 1 with Hern don breaking the ice for the los ers with a foul conversion. Dick Burns and Wilson May nor d speedy Chi back-court combina tion, kept their team constantly booming with 9 points each. Co-op Wins Campbell co-op with Chuck Larson tossing in 11 points, trounced Delta Upsilon 200 to 10 in another “A” league encounter on court 43. Halftime score favored the co-op, 13 to 8, their tight de fense yielding but. one field goal in the second half. The third contest, booked be tween Omega hall and the Awful Awfuls, went to the hallmen when the latter club failed to appear. Campbell (20) (10) Delta Upsilon Small (2). F. Foster Dorais.F.

Frosh Hoopers Meet Clothiers In Game Tonight Helliwell's Club Tests Ducklings At Cottage Grove The freshman basketball team will take on its first really big bit of competition tonight when they tangle with the Helliwelt Clothiers in the Cottage Grove armory. The game will be the first of several that are to be held in Lane county in a drive to raise money for an infantile paralysis fund. A Heal Test The type of ball played by the strong independent team will be a far cry from the competition thus far encountered by the yearling squad. Very conscious of this Coach John put the finishing touches on the Duckling's offense in Tues day's practice as he held them for a long scrimmage session. The frosh team has begun to sha|>e up as a characteristic “run and shoot" Oregon team, not having the height so com monly found on former freshman quintets. Lloyd Jackson and Bob Sheridan, the tullesl at 6 foot 7 and ti foot 3, the yearlings make up for the lack of altitude by a fast breaking, high scoring of fense. .. Probable starting lineup for the game will find Jackson at his fa vorite center slot, Rog Dick and Sheridan at the forward posts, Bill Gissberg and Bob Newland at the back court positions. PE Honor Society Will Meet Tonight Sigma Delta l*si, men’s physi cal education honorary, will meet tonight in room 101, I'K build ing, at 7 o'clock.

The Carroll-Zimmerman bout was slow with both fighters show ing little aggressiveness.

Hanscom Wins Easily Hanscom forced Jones to the canvas twice in the first round, second period went to Jones when he claimed a foul. Hanscom won easily after a one-sided last round. Don Vernier and John Detweiler both advanced to second-round matches by virtue of forfeits over "Rufe" O’Brien and Chuck Day.
