For the past two weeks the Ducks have been pouring on the heat in workouts in order to shave a little off the top sid^ of their times. The Webfoots slogged through things for most of the time and then suddenly boomed to life and since then have been really “hot.1’ Beavers Overlooked After beating the Beavers bad ly in the opening meet the Ore gon swimmers began to overlook the Beavers somewhat and plan for the invasion of the Univer sity of Washington team that is to come to Eugene February 14. Though nothing of disdain is in the attitude of Hovman's crew the Oregon State men are looked on as more of a preparatory match for the meet following. Last night the Webfoots ran through the regular workout and no time trials were held. That they were still “up” was obvious, and Loach Hoy man slated another practice for to day. The Ducks will probably splash through somewhat the same kind of workout that they have all week. The entire squad was present and unless unforseen events take place the Oregon team will tod dle to Corvallis intact Saturday. The chances are that Hoyman will send his mermen into this clash in what will be the proba ble lineup for the Husky meet. Several changes have been made in the lineup since the Beaver took his beating and Hoyman will probably give his men a chance to get a taste of things as they are to be for the remainder of the season—under actual meet conditions. Oregon Morale High; Advantages Split - Oregon State appears to have a slight edge over the Oregon Ducks in their second set-to of the year which will be unveiled Saturday night in the cramped quarters of the men’s gym in Corvallis. Reasons for this minute Beaver advantage include more ex perience in their squad personnel and the fact that they will be playing on their home floor. Still, Oregon will have some advantage. Coach Howard Hobson pointed out Thursday in that Oregon State has just returned from a rigorous road trip while the Ducks have had a longer time to make preparations. The belated appearance of Don Durdan on the Oregon squad also helps matters, giving Coach Slats Gill a dependable guard sharpshooter. Oregon in Good Spirits Duck Boss Hobson commended the good spirit of the Webfoots which they have displayed all week. “We will fight hard to stay in the race Saturday,” he said, following a workout last night. Included in the drill repertory was practice against both a man-for-man and zone defense, either cf which the Beavers might throw at the Ducks. Hob by declared that “we wouldn’t ONE OF 'EM Jack Mulder will be in one of the forward slots for Slats Gill’s Orangemen, when they clash with the YVebfoots tomorrow night in Corvallis. ■HiiniifH!fii;iii>iii-iHiaiiii-:iiiiiMiii;i«iiiMHMnmMiiniMiii be at all surprised if they would use a zone against us.” A few years baek the zone de fense was a Gill obsession and he employed it with drastic effectiveness.

Beck and Mandic Score If any special individual atten tion is necessary, it will probably be centered on John Mandic and Lew Beck. Both were in the Ducks’ hair constantly when the Webfoots captured the opener two weeks ago, 47 to 45.

He tips the scales at 19"). Taylor was seventh high scorer last season on the Duck squad. Playing 29 games, he made 106 points on 36 field goals and 34 free throws. He was charged with 28 personal fouls during the season. He ami Fuhrman were the only forwards returning this season, but both have been pressed by Bob Wren, a sophomore. Taylor made the eastern barnstroming tour and Ha waiian trip last season. " Before entering the University, Taylor lived in Banks, Oregon, near Portland. He played freshman basketball at Oregon.
