Sigma Kappa Cagers Post Close Win, Defeating Hiqhlanders for Title The Sigma Kappas battled out a hard-fought 20-10 victory over the Highland Klingers to win their league title and enter the semi-final round of the girls' in tramural basketball competition. ..With Pat Carson netting all 20 of the victors’ points and Pat 1 toward assisting her with some outstanding passing, the High land guards were run all over the floor. The guards on the Sigma Kappa showed that they had plenty of what it takes as they held the Alosely sisters conibin a ( m down to 9 points.

This is the night that the fleet Webfoots battle their arch-enemy, their ancient rival, their nearest and bitterest hoop competitor, Orej^j State, in the closet-sized Corvallis gym. Opening tip will be flung up ward by the official at 8 o’clock. Tonight’s conflagration is the Phi DeSts, Sigma Chi, SAM Quints Trip Opponents Ten teams saw action in yes terday's intramural basketball games with ail contests being played except one. The scheduled tilt between the Phi Sigs and the SAEs was given to the Phi Sigs by default when their opponents failed to put in an appearance.. A fast class B affair saw the Sammies run rough-shod over their hapless foes from Chi Psi, 32 to 5. Obviously off form, the Chi Psis were never in the game and the contest was anything but brilliant. ‘'Rib” Riback ac counted for exactly half of his team's points as he chalked up an even 16.

Don Durdan, veteran Corvallis guard, lias been laid low by injuries and will not play for Oregon State tonight against the Ducks. tirst pnase or me annual • mvu war” feud which rages for four heated rounds every season. Just who will emerge as the ‘‘best man” this eve is a matter of conjecture. Current loop rat ings have established the Ducks halfway down in ladder in third with six victories and four re versals. The Orangemen have, af ter participating in eight rum puses, remained at the .500 level, with four-and-four. Ducks Get Nod Because of these figures, con ference bookies have given the Ducks an ever-so-slight edge. But with the return of Erland Anderson, crack sophomore cen ter, to the fold after shaking a shoulder injury, odds seem b to be chucked down the draft" Anderson’s appearance on the scene clogs any weakness at the pivot spot which might have ex isted because of the inexperience of Bill Taitt, frosh star from Portland. That means the Beavers will be at full strength (Don Durdan excluded) and seems to level the odds to strictly “even-Steven.” Each Team Will Try Each team will put forth its best and favored offense, which are as unlike as Old Dobbin and a twelve-cylinder custom-builc auto. Oregon State’s veteran hemp boss, 'Armory T. (Slats) Gill, uses the ball-and-chain-on-the foot method in an effort to hold his boys down to a slow waftk It’s pass and pass and pass 1W you finally find an opening' in close and then fire at the hoop. As a result of this tempo-retard ing brand of ball, baskets are at a premium. Distinctly opposite tactics are employed by Howard Hobson, Oregon’s own hoop headman, who has a flare for speed, fast-break ing, and lots of scoring. The Ducks will be out to try and get the Beaver tossers to run, while the OSC defense must work over time to halter the get-up-and-go stuff of Oregon. In all probabilities both quin tets will utilize a zone system of defense. Be’eaulja of the court size limitations at the men’s gym 40 miles north, a zone defense with long-armed players stretch^ all over the boards is almost i $ pregnable. Still not thoroughly satisfied with the unit which has chalked up four consecutive victories, Hobby was again experimenting this week with countless combin ations. It Could Be This Way But many campus railbirds figured that the Duck chieftain would report to the same unit which shone so beautifully against Idaho both nights and previous ly against Camp Adair and the Harlem Globe-trotters. If this was the case the 2500 fans, who will crowd the tin^ Corvallis cracker-box to capaciej will see the following boys drib ble onto the boards for Oregon this p.m.: (Please turn to parte jive)
