Washington Cagers lammed
With Speed; Huskies Girding
For Weekend Oregon Invasion

WSC Second

By FRED TREADGOLD
Speed!!! That’s the by-word in
5-ports today, and upon this con
cept has Coach Hee Edmondson
Cushioned his current Washington
4koop five. Always a great advo
cate of the race-horse style of
•basketball, the cagey Husky
roach is ready to set fb'rth this
> ear an even faster outfit than
mer before, if news from Seattle
can be counted reliable.
The swift Husky quint, which
1 .as won ten games already this
year and currently tops the
i .orthern division standings, is led
1 y its scoring ace par excellent,
Hobby Lindh. This veteran sen
ior in his first varsity year topped
i tie Washington scorers with a
t henomenal total, last year
1 agged 101 points in conference
) lay, and is considered even more
j otent this year.
I.indh Paces Huskies
Reason for Lindh’s so-called
‘ slack” scoring season last year
vis attributed to faulty vision
which lias since been corrected
with glasses. An inspirational
) »layer, Lindh will be the chief
1 hreat with which the Ducks will
Lave to concentrate on.
However, too much time ean’t
l*e devoted solely to Lindh, as
anyone of the other starting
five is capable of hitting a “hot”
streak. The only sophomore in
the Husky lineup, Doug Ford,
is also a good shot, according
to press notices. Ilee “discov
ered" Ford on the eastern trip
where the youngster suddenly
caught afire.
Chuck Gilmur, tallest man on
the squad, holds sway at center.
A great backboard man and an
equally proficient shooter, Gilmur
bias been a consistently high
point-getter.

filled by Bill Morris, the floor
leader, and Norm Dalthrop,
claimed to possess “cat-like”
quickness. Dalthrop is an uncan
ny one-handed expert and last
season topped the Hifsky scorers
with 137 points.
Backing up this imposing ar
ray are the following all of whom
have shown “stuff” in competi
tion: Lettermen Wally Leask, the
accurate - shooting Eskimo,
George Fliflet, and Harry Nel
son, and sophomores Bob Bird,
“Boodie" Gilbertson, and Bill
Gissberg, former Oregon fresh
man.
Oregon Prepares
While Washington's speedy
hoopsters are galloping through
practices, Oregon’s strategist,
Howard Hobson hasn’t been let
ting any of the proverbial grass
thrive under his feet. Hobby has
been having his surprising Ducks
labor strenuously at the Igloo, *
mixing up a little “welcome” for
the touted Huskies in the series
this weekend.
Although not too exuberant
over the Webfoots’ showing ear
lier in the week, the practice
turned in Tuesday night was de

scribed by the Oregon coach as
“not so bad.”
Following the brilliant twin
performances of Warren Taylor
and Archie Marshik, two of
the taller Oregons, they were
elevated to first string posi
tions. * Hobson declared that if
Taylor and Marshik “would do
that (referring to their per
formances in the second WSC
game) consistently, it would
make a big difference in the
season.”
A little reminiscing by Hobby
showed that he attributed the
success of the second Cougar
game to a bit of “out-figuring”
over the Staters. Though the
Duck defense was not perfect, it
threw Washington State out of
gear, he figured. As a result Jack
Friel, Cougar coach, could not
play A1 Aikins or any of the oth
er sophomores who hadn’t pre
viously gone up against such a
defense.
Blamed as contributing much
to the downfall of the Ducks the
first night was the three-week
interval lay-off over the vacation
during which no games were
played. This was considered by
Hobson as being a factor which
prevented Oregon from hitting
their stride when they should.
SKI AHOY!
A call went round the Uni
versity yesterday requesting
that all men skiers should re
port to Coach Russ K. Cutler
in the PE building at 5 p.m.
on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays.

Donut ‘A’ Favorites.
By J. SPENCER MILLER
The Betas and the Sigma Chis established themselves as leading
contenders in intramural basketball’s “A” league bj administering
sound trcuncings to the Sig Eps and the Phi Psis, 44 to 15, and 46 to 6,
while the SAE’s encountered more trouble than they expected before
downing a scrapping Zeta hall club, 37 to 21.
In other games the Phi Gams made a second half reco\erj to
down Gamma hall, 18 to 9, and Kirkwood Co-op disposed of the Chi

It isn't done with mirrors—it’s the elongated Wally Borrevik,
varsity hoopnian last year who failed to return to sehool this year,

son, with all of his 5 feet 7 inches, will be out Friday night in the
Igloo to stop the visiting Cougars.

Psis, 23 to 11. The games mark
the second day of competition in
the “A” league.
Sigma Chis Smash
Phi Psis, 46 to 6
The Sigma Chis, with a well
balanced ball club that displayed
power in every department of the
game, ran roughshod over an out
classed Phi Psi aggregation,
which at no time made any threat
to halt their march.
Big Jim Sheperd and Frank
Baker tossed in 12 points apiece
to lead the scoring, while the
rest were distributed evenly
among the three other Sigs,
who made not a single substi
tution.
Chuck Rohwer scored four
points for the Phi Psis and was
the only man who was at all ef
fective in trying to stem the Sig
ma Chi tide. The Sigma Chis I<^L
20 to 4 at halftime, and the ball
spent most of the route in the
back court o rthe basket of the
Phi Psis.
Betas Rout Sig Eps
44 to 15
The Betas routed the Sig Eps
44 to 15, but the story was a trifle
different here. The score was tied
six all at halftime, after a closely
fought, tight first half which saw
the SPEs, led by Bill Mayther,
effectively throttle the high-pow
ered Beta attack.
But the second half produced
a minor Beta blitzkrieg. When
the deluge of baskets that
poured through the Sig Ep bas
ket was called to a halt by the
final gun, it showed the Beta
boys out in front by the margin
of 44 to 15.
Roger Jayne tipped in twelve
points in the second half with
Quent Sidesinger, Jim Newquist.
and Jim Rathbun also playing a
very effective role in the smooth
attack of their club. The Betas
are undoubtedly the classiest
looking club to take the floor so
far and may go a long way.
SAEs Stop Zeta
37 to zl
In what was by far the cleanest
and most well-played game of
the afternoon, the SAEs stopped
a surprising Zeta hall outfit, 37
to 21. The Sig Alphs appeared t<%^
have the game well in the bag
with a 15 to 3 lead at halftime,
but the hallmen sparked by Sher
