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.

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.

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.

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.
Hamns collected 5 markers for
the Sig Eps.
At the same time, Canard club
was downing a scrappy DU ball
club, 22-14. 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

crew won a narrow 20-13 verdict
from Gamma hall.
The hallmen led at half time,
9-6, but superior reserves gave
the Alder street boys the victory.
The seven men who were in suit
for them could not cope with the
sixteen fielded by the Fijis.
Heindndide, Conlin, and Ferrall
all were instrumental for the win
ners while Bud Miller got 7 poin^fc
for Gamma hall. ™
Beta Victors
The Betas took the last game
of the day when they scored a
lop-sided win over the Phi Psi
“B” outfit, 41-7.
The ball hawking Betas scored
at will with high-point honors
being divided between Rathbun,
Duden, and Crawford. Their su
perior seed handling and height
gave them the game as Stone of

could get any points at all, mak
