Head keeper of the Ducks, Howard “Hobby” Hobson, had yester
day off to prepare a is charges for tonight's game with the Camp
Adair soldier boys.
Oregon's genial cage mentor had his first opportunitp of ex
perimenting with the unit system of substitution Monday night,
when ids cusaba charges bested the Harley Globe Trotters, 41-36.
Fifteen men got the call to action then. The affair, a non-conference
tussle, marked the return to play of Sammy Crowell, sophomore
guard, who had been out of action for over three weeks.
VANDAL HOOPER...
. . Irvin Hopkins, Idaho guard
vet, helped heap on misery against
Oregon Slate when the Vandals
liounecd the Reavers by IS points.
Vandals Meet
Oregon Soon
Campus hoop addicts get an
other shot of “big- league” bas
ketball when Idaho's Vandals
come to town Monday and Tues
day for a two-game series. Al
though the Moscow club is now
in fifth place, the Vandals show
nigns of “breaking the lease” on
their cellar residency. They are
how just 11 , games out of fourth.
The Vandals pulled a surprise
out of the bag when they smashed
Oregon State 5G to 11 last week.
Oregon eased over' Idaho in
their first game by AV' healthy
margin but experlbn&fd trouble
> the second by winning by
three points.

Pacing the swift Vandal attack

1 ist year's scoring champ. Quinn
currently leads the loop.
John and Bob Ryan, brothers,
are two more dangerous men in
the Vandal attack. Vonley Hop

Tom Collins, a 19-year-old, com

Height is lacking in the Van

Miss Bertha, S. Adkins, former
dean of women at Western Jtary

dence at Bradford junior college.
Still not completely satisfied
with his present starting lineup
at Fuhrman and Dick, forwards;
Wiley, center; Kirsch and Wil
liamson, guards, Hobson is en
gaged in the process of shuffling
his eligibles around in pinochle
fashion.
Units on Par
There was one point about the
Monday night fracas that Hob
son particularly enjoyed—the
fact that the so-called “second
unit” was about on a par with
the first. The return to form of
letterman Wally Borrevik was
pleasing. Alany observers placed
Borrevik and young Roger Wiley
on an equal par for their respec
tive performances.
“The play of Wren and New
land lately has been disappoint
ing,” commented Hobson earlier
in the week. “Hobby” felt that
that these two men had not
rounded into shape as rapidly as
was expected of them, and for
that reason, he is giving some
more of the inexperienced men a
chance to play.
Frosh Shine
Oregon fans were at a loss to
recall when their varsity had
ever possessed three freshmen in
the starting five, but the play of
Dick, Wiley, and Williamson so
far has been smooth enough to
make the fans forget that this
trio is still not scholastically dry
behind the ears as yet.
The game with the Camp
Adair quintet tonight will serve
to sharpen the boys’ shooting
eyes for next Monday and Tues
day's games with the Idaho
Vandals, both northern division
tussles.
In all probability, Hobson will
substitute as freely this p.m. as
he did against the Globe Trotters,
although this not necessarily an
indication that the tri-unit sys
tem will again prevail.
Finch junior college is empha
sizing liberal arts courses this
vear.

Betas Upset Sigma Chi
By DOUG DONAHUE
Collecting all tlieir remaining
prowess into one final splurge, the
cagers from Beta Theta Pi swish
ed five points through the hoop
to nip Sigma Chi 12 to 10 in an
“A” basketbal game yesterday.
The win was the third straight
for the Betas, and clinched for
them a spot in the championship
play-offs.
The game was close from start
to finish, with ties at three, seven,
and ten apiece. The Beta’s half
time close 7 to 5 lead was short
lived, and with but two minutes
left the Sigma Chis were resting
on a seemingly comfortable 10 to
7 margin.
Here the Betas turned on the
steam and a basket by Sidesinger
and a free throw by Jackson tied
it up. Then, with only seconds left
and an overtime period immin
ent, Crawford sank a left-handed
shot from far out to settle the
issue.
Beta “Si" Sidesinger was high
man of the game with 8 points.
Ralph Brown got 4 for Sigma Chi.
An independent outfit, the
Awful Awfuls, literally slaugh
tered a bewildered Chi Psi “A”
quintet by one of the largest
scores of the current season,
68 to 7.
Booras, Martini, and Carr had
a wild time, scoring 18, 14, and
15 respectively. Boras’ 18 points
is a record in competition to date.
Three Talented Frosh Move to Varsity
Talent has not strayed afar
from the Oregon campus this bas
ketball year, as the frosh-studded
varsity has helped bring new ti
tle hopes to the Ducks’ student
body.
Too much talent is not a usual
worry for a basketball mentor,
but the Frosh roster boasts more
than just an ordinary amount of
talent. To say something more
about the praiseworthy antics of
the yearling aggregation, would
be to mention a word or two
about the three freshman who
were originally slated for action
on the first year team. These
three. Stan Williamson. Ed Dick,
and Rog Wiley, were the big por
tion of the starting varsity line
up Monday evening against the
"Trotters."
As definitely proved by years
of athletic contests, coopera
tion on the part of a team
needs a great deal of coaxing
on the part of the coach. This
coaxing or stimulation comes
in the form of experience.
This experience is just what
the three freshmen now playing
for the varsity needed, as they
had never played together before
this winter. Stan Williamson
played for the Astoria Fisher
men, Ed Dick teamed with The
Dalles, and Rog Wiley played his
trump with the northerly Brem
erton hoopsters.
The loss of the versatility men
tioned in the above players, has
not been missed too greatly by
the Frosh squad, however, ac
cording to the games and their
scores made in the various con
tests.
Two players out of the first
teams were missing last Friday
for the Hook game, but a third.
Dean Sempert, was out cf the
game for the frosh, also, because
of an injured foot. These losses
still don't have too much effect
on the potency of the Frosh at
tack. and if the team happens to
be ‘'full" strength in their next
games, they will have at least
15 men who are coordinated into
a fine fighting unit.
Delta Tau Delta “Bees” limit
ed a helpless Campbell Club five
to two measley points while
amassing 20 points for themselves
to run off with a lop-sided 20 to 2
victory. Welbourne and Barnett
paced the Delts with six points
each, while Thurston got Camp
bell’s lone basket.
Canards Win
Despite the colorful floorwork
and dead eye of Mauro Potestio,
who scored eight points, Canard
Club “B” quintet overcame
early deficit to nab a close ganf3^
from Sherry Ross hall 17 to 15.
The Rossmen led at the end of the
first quarter 8 to 3, but were un
able to keep up the pace.
Sigma Alpha Mu’s “B” bas
ketball club continued its win
ning ways yesterday by wax
ing the Kappa Sigs, 28 to 13.
The Sammies got out in front
early and stayed there, leading
at half-time 14 to 6. Cohens
tallied 11 points for the win
ners.
Taking out 'the wrath of their
big brothers on a defenseless (
Kirkwood Co-op five, the Sigma
Chi “B” club ran wild to rack
a 38 to 13 victory. Ralph Stov^
was continually in the Co-op’s hair
with his backboard tip-in shots,
while Harold Loydd fed them from
underneath.
