PickofDads SportsRing By BETTY LU SIEGMAN First an engagement ring and then an orchid and the title of “Smile’s a Million Girl” figura tively fell into the lap of June Marie Wilson, junior in music, last Saturday. If the three former honors sound rather familiar, it is because Miss Wilson is treading almost the same path as Little fMonel Helen Holden, who, less :^ln two weeks ago, also received £ n orchid and an engagement ring besides her “Colonel” title. First Orchid “I had just received my first orchid last Saturday night when Nelda Rohrback, who is chairman of the ‘Smile’s’ contest, called and told me that I was the winner,” said Alpha Omicron Pi’s sparkling candidate, who was still excited at the “big surprise.” “I’ll be hanged,” was all that Dwight Wycoff, who is responsi ble for June-Marie’s engagement ring and the navy pin she is wear ing, coulcl say when the Smile's ^fcl told him the news.

Scoring honors were divided among Warren Taylor, the high point gent who collected 13 dig its, Roy Seeborg, sub forward who bagged 12, and Roger Wiley who rammed home 11 points. The Idaho offensive attack wan headed by the Vaunted Fred Quinn and Bob Ryan, both of whom tanked nine points. Quinn, the northern division's leading scorer, was obviously off hin game, although he was held in check fairly well by an Oregon first half man-to-man defense, and a. second half shifting-zone defense. Williamson Sparks Little Stan Williamson, who in cidentally turned in a magnificent floor game, sparking the fast break attack down the pinewoods, put the Ducks on the scoreboard by turning in a free throw, ot'i Fred Quinn’s foul. On the ex change, aforementioned Quinn planted himself in his favorite spot on the boards, in the right, hand corner of the Duck back court. He took a pass from Jack Ryan, and then cooled one through the cords of the net to shove the Vandals in front, 2-1. But Warren Taylor sank a fol low-shot following Rog Wiley V? free-throw failure, and Ed Dick connected on a. lay-in. Captain Kirsch popped one from short center, smack in front cf the bas ket and it was 7-2. The Vandals palled lip on Bob Ryan’s close-in basket, Fredeliind’s tip-follow of a Quinn attempted charity toss, and Benson’s push shot. Dur ing this throe-basket spree, Iiirsch canned a foul toss, and it was 8-8. Shortly after that, Oregon pulled out in front. Tiolpli Fubrman entered the contest, arid with the Ducks leading 11-10, he made connec tions on a one-handed set-shot. Two more free throws by the varsity lads, and Borrevik’s set shot from dead in front of the hoop, hoisted the figures to 17 10. And all throughout this por tion of the game, the play was ragged, both clubs handling the ball poorly and missing a flurry of shots.
