Oregon eame out on the long end of a 48-38 seore.— (Photo cour tesy Daily News.) Second-Half Rally Paced By Marshik By FRED TREADGOLD It has been said ever since the beginning of time that an ath letic team’s greatness is deter mined by its ability to come back from defeat and win. We are not saying that the present Duck varsity is the greatest team ever to wear the Green and Yellow livery by any means, but the brilliant comeback staged before 2800 fans in the Igloo Saturday during the last twelve minutes of play probably will not be for gotten for quite a while. Ducks Underrated It seems, too, as if the Ducks have decidedly been underrated by the hoop experts who didn’t give them such chance against the Cougars. The score was 48 to 38 and was just as decisive as it sounds. It evened the Washing ton State series one-all, aveng ing the fil to 45 scalping re ceived Friday, and put the Ducks back into the running for the conference tiara. Smashing of a two-year jinx was also ended with the Oregon victory. Last year the Ducks dropped four straight to the Cou gars, 48 to 39, 55 to 40, 47 to 45, and 50 to 47. When the Webfoots left the court floor for a rest intermis sion at half time, a gloom seemed to spread over the Oregon rooters, who probably saw a repetition of the previous night’s debacle. Whatever Coach Hobby “fed” his boys, whether vitamin pills or wheat germ, really put fight back into them. CAME THROUGH Archie Marshik, lanky Oregon center, who provided the sparj^ that sent the Ducks on a second ha.f spree that beat WSC. They came back onto the floor and with big Archie Marshik, towering reserve center who surely earned a first string berth, providing the impetus, the Ducks put on a fancy scoring spree of their own, tossing in 28 points to only 12 for the favored vis itors.

IM Managers Vote Bowling Off Schedule By unanimous action bowling was voted down as a possible IM sport in a meeting Friday of all house athletic managers. Basket ball schedules and rules were also discussed, and Paul Washke, IM coordinator clarified several points in response to questions. Young Speaks Mr. Young representing the downtown bowling alleys, spoke to explain his concern’s proposi tion and present an argument for it. The cost to each house would be $2.25 a week, he said, and the sport is immensely popular as an intramural sport in many eastern universities. The managers then retired to discuss the question. Many arguments were advanced against it, some of which were that the expense was too great, there were too many IM sports already, and that the eastern schools supporting it, had stu dent unions with alleys to hold (Please turn to pane five) Beavers Drop WSC In Overtime, 52-47 A favored Oregon State hoop team ran into a heap of trouble last night betore they squeezed by a fighting batch of wildcats from Washington State 52 to 47 in a game that went into an overtime. The score was tied at 46-all when the regular playing period was up, on the strength of a last field goal by Cougar Owen Hunt. George McNutt broke the deadlock in the overtime with a set shot from uie side.

McNutt came back to add another tally and Lew Beck added the clincher to make the final score 52 to 47. Beck Tops Scorers Beck, stocky Oregon State sophomore was high scorer for the evening with six field goals and five foul pitches for a total gars, both on dribble in shots of 17 points.
