"A battle to survive.” That’s what tonight’s big Oregon
Oregon State civil war resumption at Corvallis will be, what
with both outfits needing a win to stay in the running for the
league pennant. 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.

A lone “A” battle gave the
slow breaking Phi Delts a 28 to
18 win over the Dlls, while in
five brutal “B” battles, the dead
eye Betas waxed the Sig Eps, 30
to 10, the SAEs took a tip from
their “A” brothers and skunked
the Phi Psis just as thoroughly,
26 to 5, the Zeta liallmen were
nosed out by Carl Baekstrom
and the Canard club, 16 to 13,
Sigma hall finally showed up to
beat Kirkwood, 11 to 4, and Gam
ma hall stuck around to stick it
into its opponents, the Yeomen,
23 to 3.
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. Don Galbreaith and Hal
Morgan were the ball bearings in
the smooth Phi Delt offense, set
ting up the scoring plays and
canning 8 and 10. Wally White
gunned 9 for the Damned Un
fortunates.

Game time for the second phase
of this critical series has been an
nounced as 8:15.
While the Ducks and the Beav
ers are making whoopee at Cor
vallistown, Washington will be in
the throes of a two-game series
with her ancient rivals, Washing
ton State at Pullman. 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

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. They re
turned home Wednesday after
noon, had a light workout Thurs
day, and then laid off completely

Should Be Close
Weariness, injuries, and all
probably will be forgotten when
the teams take the floor. Even
past scores cannot be regarded
highly indicative, though one
thing appears certain—it will be-'
close.
Their initial meeting saw the
game undecided until the last
26 seconds when the Ducks
were put ahead for “keeps”
when Reserve Don Ki rsch
canned a long one-handed how
itzer to blast a tie, 47 to 45.
Last year all but one contest
of the four was won by one
point. Victories for Oregon
were 41 to 31, 36 to 35, and 37
to 36, while the Beavers sal

By BILL STRATTON
The «iir was filled with the fragrant aroma
of rubbing alcohol and oil, as your timid re
porter mbled into the training room in the
Igloo. ‘‘Is Rolph Fushrman
here?’’ “Yea, that’s him on
training table," Yes, that was
him, faee down, covered with
oil. and with the merciless
trainer. Bob Officer, standing
over him with a murderous
gleam in his eye. Between the
vigorous yanks ana slaps or ttie not so gentle
trainer. Fulirman managed to eke out a few
interesting remarks.
Asked what was going to happen to
the Beavers tonight, Rolph grunted, “I
think . . . ugh ... we'll .. . ugh . . . beat
them.” The slapping stopped momentar
ily as everyone in the room agreed. Fuhr
man agreed that Mandic and Beck were
plenty good, but remarked that Sam De
ment was dangerous and a tough nut to
crack. He may have formed this opinion
when he played high school ball against
him in Coos county.
It was during the Washington series, about
midway last season, when Fulirman proved he
was really varsity material. He led the scor
ing for the Ducks in that game, and lias been
a regular off and on ever since. Incidentally,
Oregon beat the Huskies 57 to 35.
Good on Fundamentals
Hobson considers Fuhrman one of the best
fundamentally grounded players on the squad.
This gives credit to “Spike” Leslie, his high
school coach, who is also an Oregon man.
Rolph didn’t made the eastern trip or
play the first conference games last sea
son, but scored 44 points in the 16 games
he did play, which included the Hawaiian
trip. He had 19 personal fouls charged
against him.
A junior in PE, Fuhrman conies from Sixes.
Oregon. He was born in Coquille, however,
and played high school ball there before he
moved to Sixes, which is only about 30 miles
south of Coquille.
Incidentally, Fuhrman can prove that the
Sixes river is a sportsman's paradise. Over
a period of two days, he caught six steelhead.
The water was just right, not too high and
not too low, he explained—still face down on
the training table.
h uhrman appears as a clean-cut fellow. He
is well proportioned, with 6 feet 3 inches and ^
17o pounds filling the number 11 suit. He
just broke 21 January 29. and has a date with
the draft board next Saturday.
