HOUNDING INTG-PORM . . . . . . Wally I5orrT:\iIi,"~It‘fterinttii performer for the’ varsity capers, «s fighting for a starting berth. Ducks Tangle With Vandals Tonight Ever hungry for a basketball victory, the Oregon varsity takes the floor on the Moscow pine woods for the second game of the current Duck-Vandal cage series in Idaho. The two-game opus is the opening feray of northern divi sion basketball. The two clubs met last night and do a repeat not tonight. Oregon had entered the series as a slight under-dog, due to pre-season calculations and the fact that Sammy Crowell and Wally Borrevik did not make the Pullman jaunt to Moscow. Crowell injured his foot against the Willamette Bear cats last Friday night and will probably be on the bench for the better part of a month. Borrevik, lotterman performer on the Duck varsity, was left in Eugene. Wiley Shines Freshman Roger Wiley, the young W-anpole sensation gets the call to action again tonight, taking over the pivot post. The forward spots will be again manned by -sharp-shooting Bob Wren and dependable Warren Taylor. Newland and Don Kirsch hold down the guard positions, and Kirsch will cuptain the Ore gon quintet tonight. The high scoring Fred Quinn will again be the pin-wheel of the Vandal at lack, operating as he does from Jus vantage point at center. Irv ing Hopkins, two-yeaV lelterman on the Idaho squad, will be one of the home clan that will be try ing to stop the visiting cagers from registering those all-impor tant field goals. Other teams in the :®o>theni division of the Pacific ooafet con ference were idle foF'the past two days, as most of them were returning home from pro-season the East and Midwest. The hall game is being broad cast over Idaho -lations and if Vandal Quintet Knocked Out Early Oregon’s giraffe-like Webfoots utilizing their heighth to its greatest advantage last night, rang up the curtain on the 1943 northern division basketball campaign by slamming Idaho’s dark horse Vandals in no uncertain terms, 43 to 21, at Moscow. The game was rated as a strictly toss-up affair, but the itiner ant Webfoots disproved this theory when they unleashed a flashy offensive assault. which drove a frightened Vandal to cover. Eabe Brown’s -Idaho quintet never in the game after the in vading Hobsonmen got off to an early lead. Main Vandal trouble was the inability to find the hoop and they were further hampered by tight checking of the Oregon defense. Regular Line-up Howard Hobson, Oregon men tor, stuck to his usual starting fivesome of Warren Taylor and Bob Wren, forwards; Freshman Roger Wiley, center; and Captain Don Kirsch and Bob Newland, guards. As the game progressed and the score mounted much to Oregon’s delight, the Webfoot coach substituted freely and with equal success. Northern Division Basketball Standings W. L. Pet. Oregon . 1 0 1.000 Idaho . 0 1 .000 Washington .0 0 .000 Washington State 0 0 .000 Oregon State .0 0 .000 The Eugene quintet now rests in first place with one win and no reversals. Other league teams have not seen action as yet. Tonight again in the men’s gym in the Idaho city, Oregon matches shot-for-shot with the Vandals. Lineups were expected to be identical to those used by the respective coaches in the opener. The loss was Idaho’s third con secutive reversal as the Vandals dropped a pair to Montana and Montana State prior to the league’s initial tilt. It marked Oregon’s fourth straight win over the Muscovites, as the Webfoots chalked up three in a row last season by sizeable margins. The fact that 22 points sepa rated the two teams came as a surprise to even the most enthu siastic Oregon fans who had fig ured that Oregon’s chances were slim at best. your set is powerful enough to pick up tin* Moscow wave-lengths you won’t have to wait until to morrow morning to get the low down on the contest.

Sigma Chis, Canard Club, Sammies Win Cage Tilt High scores featufed Tuesday’s basketball games as the “B” leaguers swept into action along with the continuation of the “A” schedule. Only game ended in a low score and here the boys went all out as the Sammies rolled up a sizzling eight points to the SAE's 7. Sigma Chi “B” started out the job of defending their last year's title when they swamped a be wildered Sig Ep outfit by the astronomical score of 34-5. Score at half time was 18-0. With bespectacled Dick Hanen and big Harold Lloyd leading the attack the Sweetheart-men had the situation in hand at all times, running up 24 points before the losers were able to hit the hoop.

The clubbers grabbed an early lead and kept it through out the ball game with the half time score standing 10-7. Simpson led the winners when he collected 6 points while Schmitt was outstanding for the Greekmen. The game was fast and hard played all the way and it was the excellent floor play of the winners that gave them the win. The Sammy S AE encounter was a thriller all the way with neither team being able to hit the basket with any degree of consistency. This was especially true with the Sammies, with most of their many shots going in, only to come spinning out of the basket. Puziss was the high scorer for the winners but it was the rug ged floor play of center Harry Glickman that really decided the issue. Decateur of the SAEs picked up over half of his team’s points when he accounted for five counters. Another independent squad also .took their game as Camp bell Co-op chalked up a 26-16 vic tory over Phi Kappa Psi. Controlling the backboard, the co-op boys had! little trouble in downing the Phi Psis, as they led at half tife, 12-4. “Big Boy’’ Way was chiefly responsible for this domination but was ably backed up by Eddy and Burch. Burch made 10 points while his team mate found the range for 8. For the losers, Khehmet was out standing and it was mainly through his scoring that the Phi Psis stayed in the ball game. The game was of the “A” league. Fijis Win The Fijis got off to a flying start as their “B" league casaba HOLDS THE KEY . . . . . .
