Last Saturday's time trials

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

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
