In other “A” .Raines played the ATOs and the Phi Sigs easily trounced the PiKAs .•'tml a slow Canard club, 24 to 10 and 81 to 8 respectively. The Sigma Nus ran into a lot of trouble in the form of Chuck ? oice, Omegan forward who - a, lohed the net from all kinds •■of angles, but with the score 8 to 'T against them in the second • quarter, they rallied and took < mtrol of the game. •With skyscraping' Elliot Wil ,«on and Johnny Bubalo control ling rebounds from both baskets. ..tue Nus forged ahead and led at M'llftime, 21 to 12.

The ATOs, however, had the game well in hand, and led 15 i l at halftime. Ralph Dunn vi «s a Tau tower of strength Mild he and “Ox” Wilson col laborated on the majority of iheir club’s points. With a com » a a.ling lead, they i'Oitvted in the second half ami gave the show over to Roblin. Tommy dropped in four points and helped set up his team’s other points to make the score look respectable. Final count again, 24 to 1G. l’hi Sigs Club Canard Phi Sigma Kappa had things pretty much their own way in pushing over an inexperienced Canard club, 31 to 8 The Co-op men never had a chance and trailed, 18 to 4, in the first half, l'lii Sigs Bounding Bill Caples broke through the Canard de fense time after time to dunk the casaba. He scored 12 points in all. Supporting him were Ed Wy att with 10 and Bill Reed with 6. For the Canardmen Bob Simpson stood out in a lost cause and Bob Herndon also tried to stem the tide. But the second half was only a repetition of the first, and Phi Sigs were in, 31 to 8. I Webfoots Let Up; Await Washington Sophs Shine In Practice; Wren Praised The old Igloo didn’t ring with a great deal of activity Wednes day, as the Webfoots were ta pering their workouts down what with the Washington series just one day away. No scrimmage was held, the majority of the time being spent working on defense and offensive plays. Wren Looks uood Plaudits were in order for sev eral sophomores who looked im pressive in practice. Coach How ard Hobson commended Bob Wren, who appears to have re gained his old stride and should be used quite extensively against the Huskies tomorrow night and Saturday. Lloyd Jackson, War ren Christiansen, and Wilson Maynard all showed up well and are liable to see action in the series. Newland Ready Bob Newland, who has been ail ing of late, is reported to be patched up again and primed for action. Newland was top point maker for the frosh last season, but due to illness has had little opportunity to prove his worth. Strength of the Washington team relative to Washington State is of course not known by Coach Hobby, as he nas nor seen the Huskies in action this year. However, he figures that from reports drifting in that they are as good or better than the Cougars, with which the Ducks divided the two-game series. When asked which player Ore gon would have to watch closely. Hobby replied with, “All five of them. They are all good scor ers.” Dalthrop Dangerous Norm Dalthrop, hemp-swishing guard, was considered perhaps the best Washington shot. Bobby Lindh, touted Husky forward, was also tabbed by Hobby as a good player, exceedingly fast. The series should be a high scoring, race-horse affair as both teams specialize n that type of attack. While the Hus kies were on their eastern tour, they cracked the Madison Square scoring record, tossing in no less than 72 points against the New York University Vio lets. Besides this potent offense, the Huskies Head League university of Washingtons speedy hoop squad, rated the fast est ever produced at the Seattle school, occupies the lead in the northern division hoop race as a result of wins in its first two games of the season over the Ida ho Vandals on the Husky floor. Washington State’s Cougars, defending champion, indicated that it has no intentions of re linquishing its title by splitting even on the dreaded four game in five nights Willamette valley trip. The Cougars split with Ore gon and Oregon State. Oregon’s victory over the Cougars came as a surprise. After losing the first game of the series by a score of til to 45, the Wehfoots came back and bounced WSC 18-88. Ore gon State, the favorite in this year’s race, nabbed its first game over the Cougars, 52-47, in a hectic overtime session. Washington State came back to win the second 53-45. Idaho occupies the cellar spot with two losses to Washington on its slate. Porky Andrews of Oregon grabbed an early lead in the in dividual scoring race by toss ing in 15 and 17 points against the Cougars for a total of 32. LEAGUE STANDINGS Team W. L. Pet.

The Hart Larsen quintet, one of the strongest independent teams in Eugene, will probably be met next week, according to Warren. The veteran frosh mentor announced that the team was not ready for heavy competition, since they have been practicing only a little over one week. Warren Not Satisfied Warren is not too well pleased with the work of the frosh cagers thus far, despite the fact that they won both games of a road trip last week, and wants more time to get his squad into condi tion for a heavy schedule. The only player that has been living up to expectations is Sammy Crowell, all-state scor ing star from North Bend, who has been hitting the hemp with regular consistency. It was indicated that a re vamped lineup will appear in the next game, and several re serves who did not make last week’s trip will get a chance to perform. Stiff Practice In Wednesday’s practice ses sion Warren sent his hoopsters through a stiff practice session. It included strong conditioning Huskies have a season’s record of twelve wins, ten of which came in succession.

These consisted of flood lights from the football .field to further il luminate the court playing surface which hasn’t been too well “lit” in the past. work and was climaxed with an intrasquad scrimmage.
