Pucks Stage Practice, Fresh Ape Huskies As CasabaSeriesNears Fuhrman Scouts Opponents Fast-Break Style Checked By FRED TREADGOLD With typical Scottish frugality, Oregon’s varsity Ducks are mak ing the most of every opportunity, in an effort to build up an immu nity which they hope will carry them through unscathed when Wash ington rolls up to the Igloo doors Friday night. “Hobby” Hobson, Ore gon's hoop analytic, took advantage of the Washington-Oregon State iioop duels in nearby Corvallis and a breathing spell in the Webfoots’ STILL ON' THU COURTS . . . . . . l’at Valenti's basketball play inj; did not end when lie left Oregon State.

In possession of enemy defenses, jump-ball plays, out of bounds methods, and offensive peculiari ties, Coach Hobson then went to work in mapping out a means of clogging the Husky scoring as sault, Oregon’s frshmen, in a psuedo-Washington characteriza tion, ran through the Husky plays this week while their older var sity brothers endeavored to stale mate such tactics. From a general consensus of opinion, Washington was defin itely off its game in the opening tussle at Corvallis Tuesday. Rolph Fuhrman, Oregon forward who traveled the 48 miles with the Webfoot entourage on their fact finding mission, said that the Huskies suffered a “poor night.” Fuhrman Reports “Washington was never ahead.” Fuhrman stated, “while both teams were nervous and jittery in their first ball game. The Hus kies weren't getting the rebounds or jump balls. If Washington was playing that same way against us, we would have won, too.” famed running game of Hee Ed mondson is just that. But he add ed that “we can outrun Washing ton.’’ Bearing out Fuhrman’s state ment that the Huskies were labor ing under a “poor night" complex, were the figures of individual scoring. Doug Ford, the 212 pound forward who despite his ponderous size is as agile as a nymph, hoisted shot after shot at the hoop with negative results. Captain Wally Leash, the Ini dian-Eskimo guard, was also be low par, and could swish through only one shot from the floor. Even All-Conference Guard Bill Mor ris, who canned IS points for Washington top honors, failed to cash in on a majority of his tries. A known fact is, however, that the Huskies are no push-overs. They’ve displayed too much stuff in pre-conference test games to cause their backers to leap off the Washington bandwagon just be cause of one reversal. jmicks surprise Meanwhile, Oregon’s upstart Ducks who astounded the coast basketball world by racking up three wins against only one de feat on the Palouse country trip, are using to best advantage the seven days respite that is theirs. Rest, intermingled with plenty of hard work, has been the bill of fare this week in the Hobson camp. Too early in the week to nom inate his game starters, any one of many on the Duck squad stands a chance of slipping into a first string niche.
