' Speed basketball with that e\
tra zip, dripples onto the well
fieuffed wood of Washington’s
hoop pavilion tonight in Seattle,
when the loop-topping Huskies
riaul Oregon’s third place Ducks
resume their casaba squabble.
When the 8 p.m. tipoff wings
skyward in the mammoth Seat
tle basketball barn, Washington
will be stubbornly clutching their
coveted first place position. The
men of Howard Hobson have a
different approach toward the
same end. Success in the two
game series will rejuvenate the
Webfoots’ hopes for the league
bunting.
The Huskymen of Hoc Edmund
son are odds-on favorites in this
third game of Washington-Ore
gon hoop relations.
Mentor Hobson saw his Green
and Yellow pupils register early
lead's here a week ago, only to
fold in the stretch. This inabil
ity to stay ahead once they were
in front was laud to a two-fold
reason:
(1) Lack of steadiness by a
green freshman-sprinkled outfit
when the game began to tighten
up in the fleeting seconds, arid,
(2) The departure of Warren
Taylor, two-year veteran, a big
boom in both the Duck offensive
and defensive systems, with four
foul perpetrations.
The past week hasn’t been one
of remorse and melancholy sec
ond-guessing by the Webfoots.
There was little time to consider
anything else but the Washing
ton games at hand.
Consequently a lot of valuable
practice-hours have been wiled
away under the giant steel gird
ers of the Igloo.
Blinding speed and shooting
perfection, a dose which the
Ducks received an overabundance
of this week in drills, is the for
mula that Hobson hopes will
bring victory Oregon's way.
Scoring Forward
The brunt of the scoring as
sault for Oregon will probably
fall the way of Rolph Fuhrman,
fast-developing senior forward;
Warren Taylor, his forecourt

Frosh to Tangle With Rooks;
Battle Tonight in Igloo;
Second Game of ‘Civil War’
Coach Sandy Sandness's Duck
ling' proteges go up on Uic block
tonight before the home town
folks, when they try to avenge
Wednesday evening's drubbing'
the Oregon State Rooks dealt
them in Corvallis. This second
feature of the “Little Civil War"
will bring a touted group of Ot
ange juniors to McArthur court
for the contest which is slated to
.start at 7:3.0.
If one were inclined lo l>e pes
simistic about tile rout that seem
ingly took place in the Beaver oor
rall tlie other night, he should
look back in last year’s files, and
take a look at the shellacking the
P’rosh received in the first of the
year tilt. Then a few nights later,
they returned with the scalps of
i n entire Kook rosier hanging
on their pennant.
Kook Koeiandt
Probably the biggest reason the
Rooks looked so well coordinated
or “all fired" good the other even
ing', was because of one “crew
clipped” youngster, Frankie Roe
landt, who had ati evening when
he just couldn't miss the basket.
His teammates knew their ener
getic guard was “on” too, for they
continually flipped him the casa
ba, and he put it in with a hard
to-beat accuracy.
Kenny Hume of the Frosli was
going “ul lout” for points, when
he was suddenly rut short with
four penalties called on him in
the second period, lip to the time
of his expulsion, he was more than
running with an even clip along
side aforesaid lioelandt.
Friday night will see a vastly
different team of Ducklings take
the court, as far as experience
counts, for the heat is now up
with our Yearlings and they will
probably make use of their talents
which were so submerged two
nights ago.

Yeomen Bees went into the
quarter finals of the intramural
basketball league when they sub
dued the Chi Psi quintet 33-12.
It was the winners’ third straight
victory and insured for them a
place in the playoff spot, their on
ly other game being a bye.
With Williams, Sabin and Speck
hitting the hoop from all angles
the independents came from be
hind to take a 16-3 bulge at half
time, their substitutes playing
most of the second half. The lodge
men could not seem to control the
ball off the backboards, this be
ing a major factor in then’ one
sided loss.
Sigma Nu pulled another close
game out of the fire by shading
a fighting Beta “B" crew 21-18.
Enjoying a halftime lead of five
points they suddenly lost control
of the ball game and the Betas
bounced back into the running on
ly to lose out at the last moment
on a foul shot and field goal, never
quite catching the snakemen.
Nu Mieule continued his scor
ing pace, canning 8 points, closely
followed by teammate Wright
with 6. Rathbun and Crawford
each made 6 apiece for the losers.
Other "B" league action found
Theta Chi turning on the heat to
subdue a fighting Fiji outfit 19-8
in a rough and rugged ball game.
It was a close battle until the last
moment when a flurry of hilltop
men baskets decided the outcome.
Gallagher of Theta Chi was high
point man making 8 points with
Treadgold of the Fijis leading his
team with four.
The Phi Delts, although hard
put by the Pi Kaps, took a close
8-6 victory to keep on the win
wagon. In a game that at times

resembled a football game, the
winners were able to overcome a
bad case of jitters to take the
game in a rousing second half
scrimmage. The losers held the
lead most of the way but seemed
unable to solve the stellar play of
substitute Wright who canned
four points in the last half to put
the game on ice.
Alpha Hall hurdled Sigma Hall
in the last game of the day in the
“B” battle of the independents,
13-5. Ahead all the way, mainly
through the efforts of McCallen
and Campbell they showed power
in annexing a. win.
A mix-up in the schedule caused
the DU-Sigma Hall “A” league
game to be called for tomorrow.
The game had been schedula*
twice on the program. ™
