Tlw Oregon team is going to Coivallis via automobile and a probable squad of It men will *k the trip. Chuck Nelson. who ]■ got up from a case of inf'u cnns is in the lineup, but will not lie able to carry a full load Unit v a’ I have been placed on his Ik alders had he not been sick.

These time trials that have been con ducted have not only made the l>oys anxious to get into actual i-on.petition but has put them un der the actual atmosphere that they will have to get used to. Also Co ah Hoyman knows who will he the men to get the points and I nows the men who lie will use in the shorter races. Last Saturday's time trials we re rather elevating as compared i the trials of the previous Sat urday, at winch time Coach Hoy man was feeling rather disgusted as were members of the squad. But the boys, as a whole, are wax ing strong and powerful as pre vious teams and the outlook looks rather bright. The boys are filled with a determination to win and to uphold the record set down by last year's team. The 11 men who are making the trip to Corvallis are: Nelson, Allen, Smith, liuestis, Prowell, Hoffman, Tugman, McAuliffe, Pennington, Houston and Gautier.

Orldes Cinch League Title By MARY ALDERSON Oiides, Pi Phi, ADPi, and Sig ma Kappa remain undefeated, as girls’ intramural basketball moves into its third week of competition. Orides has practical ly cinched their league title with three victories against no defeats and cnly one game remaining to be played. Led by versatile Shirley Hig gins, the Orides sextet puts one of the strongest defensive units on the floor. To date their offen sive has tended to be weak but improving. Orides r^es a zone type defense that has kept op posing forwards’ scoring down. With “Blitz” Gordon scoring points galore, the Pi Phis have a team that is worth watching. They scored the biggest upset of last week in defeating the strong University house, 21-1. As the score indicates the Pi Phis have a good defensive combination. The score is even more amazing since the 20 tallies were scored in spite of Marriame Blenkinsop’s stellar play—Miss Bienkinsop be ing considered the strongest de fense player on the campus when using a zcne defense. Pat Carson and Pat Howard team up for Sigma Kappa to form the flashiest forward com bination on the campus. Both have accurate shots—both long and under the baskets. Miss Car son's fake passes have been very successful in pulling the best of guards out of position. The Sig ma Kappas have capable guards, but have had trouble placing a complete team on the floor be cause of girls leaving school and illness. Providing the non-inter ested members keep a complete team on the floor, the Sigma Kappas will be a hard team to beat. ADPi upset the strong High land Hoopers yesterday after noon and gave indication that they are out to win their league (Please turn to page six) By FllED BECKITH Co-Sports Editor, Emerald Led by their high-scoring of fensive center, “Chuck Gilmur, the Washington Huskies last defeated Oregon 45 to 31 in a northern division basketball game played at Seattle. The win, the third consecutive victory for the “Hec” Edmundson-ccached men, came in the first of a two game series with the Ducks. As has been the case in the previous Washington-Oregon se ries the Huskies turned on a sec Oregon Frosh Dunks Rook Aggregation ■ As unpredictable as their big brothers on the Oregon varsity, the Frosh squad ran down a Hook aggregation from the halls of Corvallis on the courts of drafty McArthur Friday evening by a run as you score, 51-43 total, in favor of the Ducklings. The type of play which went on during the course of the con test could easily typify the fast playing that took place in the Igloo last weekend between the University of Oregon and Wash ington. Fast and aggressive guards were the great factor in the ex tensive scoring by the two squads in the first minutes of last night’s game. Johnny Miller ran almost completely unhindered by the Rooks to start the scoring for the, Frosh and then Franky Roe landt, the boy who broke up the game in Corvallis the other eve ning by his tricky offensive, HEAD MENTOK . . . . Howard Hobson will watch all proceedings with a careful eve, ond half power attack, pulling out in front to win easily. Last night's margin of victory was the greatest the Huskies have m joyed so far. Gilmur Leads Huskies “Chuck” Gilmur was high point man for the winners, can ning some 15 points. Captain Don Itirsch led the Ducks in scoring. At the half time Washington clung to a three point lead, 19-16. But the basketball wizardry of Gilmur, Morris, and Ford began to pay dividends for the Seattle crew. Oregon substituted to no avail. The win kept the Huskies firmly entrenched in first place. The defeat sent Oregon below the .500 mark with a seasonal record of three wins and four losses. The teams battle again to night. From advanced notices it would appear that Washington will have a definite edge over the Ducks, in this, the fourth and final game of the series. started playing- offensive tfflt kept the Rooks in the running for the entire length of the tilt. But the superior backboard artistry on the parts of Joe Coenenberg and Kenny Hume was as master ful as has been seen for this past season. Designed for something other than just an ordinary basketball hopeful, young Mr. Roelandt com pleted more astute scores than the ordinary roving guard on a hoop team usually can find time to make. During the first half, this Orange star was almost un touchable, and then a reserve was put into the Frosh lineup, who competed score for score with the Rook sensation for the final minutes of the initial pe riod. This reserve, Bob Hodgins, dunked a total of nine poy® through the hemp during the s9? ond quarter, by some sort of be witchery with which he was us ing to drive a wedge through the Rooks’ defense to score time af ter time. The score at the end of the first half was 24-19, with the Frosh holding an advantage they never relinquished. rne second Halt or play opened with the Oregon yearlings again taking the ball into their exclu sive possession for the first few minutes, which apparently caused the Hook mentor, Luke Gill, to substitute quite freely until he found a suitable combination. Af ter finding this set of boys which were made up of the various parts of the Orange roster, the Hooks then began to edge up the Frosh, with “Whitey” Kijr stad and “Red” Widmer chal lenging the Oregon lead. Comparative caution on the part of either team was thrown to the wind during the last two periods, and as a result of this one Mr. Roelandt of the Rooks and an equally “naughty” Mr. Miller of the Frosh, were expelled from the contest, depriving the contest of two outstanding play ers. After this moment the Frosh were in command of the game with Bob Caviness and Bob Hod gins holding their own before the aforesaid Konstad and Widmer. High point man of the evening was Oregon’s Joe Coenenbe,® vith 13 points, who played a mag nificent game taking the ball off the backboard. The second in line (Please turn to page five)
