Sport Staff: Fred TreadgolX Fred Beckwith, Co-sports editors Don Lonie Mart Pond RoUie Gabel A i t Carlson Stan Pierson By KOLLIE GABEL Riding rather easily on their victory over the Oregon State swim ming team of last Saturday, the Oregon squad will again meet the aforementioned team in the University of Oregon men’s pool this aft ernoon at 2:30. The meet promises to lie a fast one, because of the fact that all week Coach Mike Hoyman has been concentrating, not on primarily totaling a great number of points against tiie State squ^d. Reeder Scores 23 Points For Army Hoopsters By MART POND Oregon’s never-say-die Duckling hoop quintet met the 96th divi sion in a oasainl contest Friday night in McArthur court and matched t he soldiers blow for blow, finally dunking the hard-fighting Adairs in an overtime period with a score of 50-48. With five sets of clipped wings, the Frosh came hack in the last half of a contest in which they had remained just a little behind, hut always within a few points during the entire game. An army squad- with more than an ordinary team of fine shooting' players to drop in enough baskets to k"i'p ahead of the Frosh was ry much in evidence during the first half. One "Lanky” Reeder of the khaki' contingent domin ated the backboard remarkably vv ‘11, as he augmented the divis i m's score by a neat 12 points dining the initial half, and came Lack in the second half to shoot in an additionanl 11 points, to be come high scorer for the evening with 23 counters. Something Xew Starting an entirely different combination at the beginning of the contest, Frosh coach, "Sandy” Sandness, employed the services of two of the yearling “speed mer chants” in the guard positions, with Bob Hudgins and "Iowa” Bob Hamilton doing tire running chores. Big Ron Pupke took Dean Sempert’s usual position at tiie pivot spot, and Joe Coenenberg Commandos Gain Former Athlete Second Lieut. Don AY, Gal lueaith, former University of Oregon basketball and tennis star, has been assigned to duty with a United States marine corps combat organization. He was assigned to his present outfit following his graduation from reserve officers' school at ■’Quantico, Virginia. Lieut. Galbreaith enlisted for a. commission in the reserves last March, but completed his educa tion before reporting- to candi dates' class. After spending ten weeks in candidates' class he received his gold bars and commission and was then enrolled in reserve offi cers' school. Twenty-two-year-old Lieut. Ga Twenty-two - year - old Lieut. Galbreaith was a mainstay on the Oregon basketball team for two years. He was graduated with a BS degree in physical edu cation. He is a member of Phi I Vita Theta fraternity. and Ken Hume assumed the for ward jobs. Deploying- two men in the re spective backcourt of the Frosh, "General” Kelly, paced an army squad with his arching- howitzers which swished through the hemp with the ominous hum of an 83. The score at the end of the first half was 21-17 to the good for the elongated militia. Coming- back into the contest at the outset of the second period, a determined Duckling squad beat away at the soldiers’ lead, with Dean Sempert doing some of the heavy work with some fore-court swisher shots. Because of their ap parent inability to go over the heads of the 96th team, the Frosh then began to go through them with a sporadic type of play on the part of Bob Caviness and “Hodge” Hodgins. The shooting eye of Kenny Hume, of the Frosh, wasn’t off in the least during the tilt, for this Portland boy drove in toward the basket to make lay-in shots or was content in shooting them from the sideline. In the last few minutes of the fray, the soldiers were leading', with Reeder and Jackovvski and Kelly playing a game of tag with the speedy Frosh forwards, then the Yearlings opened their last minute rally, with Caviness and Sempert connecting for long shots to tie the game in a knot as the regular playing time was complet ed with the score 40-40. In a fast five minute overtime, ' Big'' Mr. Reeder “canned” a whirling shot to put the soldiers again into the lead, but Ken Hume and Bob Caviness came through with counters to win the game for the Frosh 50-48.

Awful Awfuls, Betas Crush Intramural Opponents By STAN PIERSON Intramural basketball competi tion was at a low ebb yesterday afternoon as only two games were played. A third game, the scheduled contest between Alpha hall and Sigma hall, was taken via the forfeit route by the Sig mas since the Alphas have with drawn. The feature attraction brought together two hitherto undefeat ed "A" fives, the Awful Awfuls and Canard club. After jumping into an early lead on baskets by Kelly and Ness, the Awful Aw ful outfit was never headed and wound up on the long end of a 24 to 7 count. Canard, who had beat en Phi Psi the day before, took a large number of shots from the floor but were unable to connect. Glen Kelly, whose work under the basket was particularly ef fective, tied with George Bcoras for high point honors, each ac counting for 8. Awfuls (24) (7) Canard Bannister, 1.F. Wieden Ness, 7.F.Backstrim Nelly, 8.C. 1, Simpson Booras, 8.G. Murphy Carr.C..*. 2, Kuhl Barde.S. 2, Bristol S. 2, Savelich In a class “B” affair, the Beta Theta Pis rolled over the Phi Sigma Kappas to the tune of 50 15. Marty Duden wrote a new season scoring record into the books as he tallied 21 points in leading his team to victory. The Thetas displayed a fine ball handling technique and coasted most of the second half after leading at one time 30-4. Al though outplayed completely, the Phi Sigs were not outfought and cut on tne possiouiues oi ore^^ ing some existing records. Admit tance to the meet will be on stud ent cards. Record Challenge The possibilities of breaking some records are very good as two of the existing records have already been broken in unofficial time trials held recently. The one good possibility is the 100 yard breaststroke event in which Ralph Huestis of the Oregon squad will be the chief aspirant. The other very good possibility is in the 440 freestyle event being swum by Dick Smith. The existing record is held by Robinson of la^t year's championship squad with a time of 5:06. Smith made the time of 5:07 last year, and because of strenuous workouts and time tri als over at the pool, there seems tp be a very good possibility of® breaking this Oregon held rec ord. Chuck Nelson wall also try to break a freestyle record in the 50-yard event. Sights Raised The boys are all primed to real ly make a show this afternoon and have been working diligently in an effort to do justice to previous Oregon swimming standards. This meet will mark the second official meet that both squads have competed in, the first being the one held last Saturday be tween each other. Following is a schedule of the events: 300 yard medley: Backstroke, either Nelson or Prowell; breast stroke, Huestis; freestyle and an chor man, either Gautier, Hoff man, or Houston. 220 freestyle: Smith, Allen.W Hoffman. 100 freestyle: Gautier, Smith, Hoffman, or Nelson. 150 backstroke: Nelson, Prowell or Tugman. 200 backstroke: Huestis, Mc Cauliffe, or Smith. 440 freestyle: Houston, Smith or Allen. 440 freestyle: Houston, Smith, or Allen. 400 freestyle relay: Nelson, Al len, Smith, Hoffman, Gautier.
