own scneauie, to nunme up ms
casaba lads for a scouting' sortie
into Corvallis territory.
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

of many on the Duck squad
