Whichever team loses will be decidedly behind the well-known eight ball, while the victor’s chances of catch ing the league-leading Washington Huskies will be definitely enhanced.

The Phi Delts played their us ual slow, deliberate game, toss ing the ball “around the Horn" and working it through the DU zone defense to outdistance them easily. There was not much scor ing the first half, ending 8 to 5. But the PDTs warmed to their task in the second and poured it on.

League standings could take quite a change if upsets prevailed over the weekend. Oregon Perfects Plans Oregon has been primed for to night’s tilt to the nth degree and reports “all clear” regarding cas ualties. The Ducks are set to work against either a man-for man or a gone defense, depending on which Beaver Coach Slats Gill chooses. Word from the Oregon State campus has it that the Orange men will be at full strength with one exception. Paul Va lenti, veteran guard, who has been ailing from flu, sprained an ankle in the Washington State series and has since been on the injury shelf. It is “ques tionable” if Valenti will see ser vice during the Duck engage ment, Corvallis communiques state. Beavers Fired One factor definitely unfavor able to the Beavers is the lack of rest following their grueling four games-in-five-nights while on the Inland Empire trek.
