John (loft) a ml Boh (right) Ryan are two of Babe Brown’s biggest siege guns on the basketball aggregation which is currently tour ing (lie Willamette valley in hopes of pulling out of the cellar by climbing over our Webfoots. John is a guard who functions with finesse and ease, while Bob, just a sophomore, has been one of the higher Idaho scorers to date. They are pictured here with their dad, Mike, who for years has been a trainer at Moscow-. r.Y VUT (WKJjSON Every cue of yesterday after noon's three intramurals had strangely similar characteristics. All games were from the “B" i inks. All were played on Court 40. All had the same referees. All games pitted a good big team against a good little team, and each time a “Miller" was on the score sheet. All the tilts proved again that a. good big man is better than a good little man, for every con test ended with the lumberjacks vjtiii mijiuhi i iking their country cousins into « amp by seven-league steps. S \E Victimize Sigmas The SA E-Sigma hall game came first on the bill and turned out to be fast all the way except for the scoring. At the final whistle, only 15 points had been > m-. ; up with SAE coming out «>n top. 12-3. Rather rough in spots, the smaller hall men were . ! a decided disadvantage, com i lg in body-contact with such 1 irger fellows cn the fraternity i-quad as black-haired Jim Evers. By virtue of this win, the . Ala continue on their undefeat ed way towards a league title.

Crawford S Bronstad Hot-Shots Swamp Canard The Hansliah Hot Shots lived up to their “monicker" by whip ping a light Canard club outfit, 31-4. The “big-Shots" completely outclassed their brother-indepen dents, keeping the back-boards to themselves and using a spread, but tight, zone defense. At the half, Canard’s ace, Tex Miller, had to retire with a badly bruised right knee, and the big gun for H. H. S., Johnny Day, couldn't breathe because of a bad cold so he also called it quits, but not before the scorekeeper had 12 points stacked up against his name. Hot Shots Jones, 12 F. Baugman, 3.

Guerin Theta Chis Win Again The Bees of Theta Chi kept in pace with the '’A'’ team of their house by hurdling over another opponent, 33-13, this time, to pre serve an unblemished record. The unfortunate victims "this time" were the boys from Gamma hall who have the distinction of har boring the shortest first-string on the campus. Employing a varsity stunt by (Please turn to page five) Pat Wynne,Ex-Grid Star, Dies In Action The seventh known casualty among- former Oregon athletes in World War II was made known here last week. Pat Wynne, 215 pound tackle from Olympia, Wash., was killed in action in the south Pacific it was learned by Ccach John Warren. Wynne played football here in 1940-41 and was considered an excellent prospect before going into the service. READY FOR TONIGHT . . . . • • Roger Wiley, towering Ore gon frosh renter, is raring to go at the Vandals again tonight in their second engagement. Benson’s set-up ran the count to 23-20, Oregon leading, Seeborg came through with a looping one handed set-shot that went through the basket as if it were drawn through a magnet. Jack Ryan made a 20-foot set-shot, and the first half gi^P froke the action for then, score: Oregon 25, Idaho 22. The college kids and townspeople were whistling to themselves as they went to buy their be tween-halves cokes. The pace had speeded up tre mendously. It looked as thougii the Ducks were in for a heavy evening of action. “Hobby” Hob son, well satisfied with the ef forts of Seeborg, left that gentle man in the gree-and-gold line-up at the start of the second half. Boom! What happens, but See borg is alongside the basket to tip-in Den Kirsch free-throw at tempt. Rog Wiley caught onto the idea and slapped a follow shot through the netting. And then it was Wi ley, Williamson, Taylor, and Wj? ley again, this four basket bir^P being interrupted only by two free throws by Collins and Bob Ryan, and Collins’ basket. At that point it was 37-27, and the issue from then on, was never in doubt. Babe Jerked Starters A little less than five minutes remained when Idaho Mentor “Babe” Brown jerked the first f^ing, after seeing the hopeless ness of the affair. The score by then had run to 56-39. Seeborg was still around making points, shoving up a set-shot, and mak ing good a foul shot. Sam Crowell grabbed off an other two points on a beautiful feed-pass from A1 Popick. Mo ments later Popick swished one through the hoop from 25 feet out, a lulu of a feet-planted, two handed effort. And that was that. The Vand^ starters, obviously being saved for tonight, were a tired crew of kids. Oregon, using the two-team or two-unit system, was fresh from the start of the court war to the termination of the thing. Say, if it hasn’t been mentioned before, Seeborg looked gcod. And Taylor, too. And Williamson. The whole gang, after picking daisies in the first half, came to life with such a bang that “Slats” Gill spying down from above, had to blink his eyes.
