Clubs Tangle Again
On Igloo Hardwoods
They’ve put one of those “Civil War” cage conflicts behind
them, the bounding Beavers from Corvallis and the willowy
Webfoots from our home town, but there’s another hoop chill*
er on tap again, and it’s here tonight on the well-scuffed no.'
pies of the Igloo. These two clubs come to grips at 8 p.m.
Tonight’s fray marks the first meeting of these two outfits
on the McArthur boards and possesses all the ear-marks of real
“natural.”
After last evening’s initial skirmish at Corvallis both clubs are
more determined than ever to make good. The loser has intentions
of making amends for last night’s mistakes, while the winner is vow
ing to duplicate his previous success.
From all rumors emanating from the Corvallis rendezvous of the
Orangemen, the quintet of Slats Gill intend—strangely enough—to
try and outrun Oregon at their own game. Now this very same hint
was dropped last year when the
UO-OSC casataa clashes were
coming' up, but Oregon State re
verted to its cld slow-’em-up
style.
Just in case last year’s ND ti
tlists decided to run with our
Webfoots this evening they are
well equipped with speed-burning
potentialities. In little Lew Beck,
crafty one-year guard veteran,
Mentor Gill has finesse, agility,
and scoring talent galore. More
than once Lew has lavishly
heaped in goal after goal this
year in a personal scoring spree.

Durdan Out?
A question mark has been sfi
up in front of the name of c *
Don Durdan by the Oregon com
pany. News dispatches from
Corvallis for the last week have
been dripping with remorse at
the loss of the diminutive all
around athlete. Durdan was
cursed by “iritis,” an eye disease,
following a siege of chicken pox
and was reputedly out of action
for the season. *
Whether this was merely a
“bear story” trumped up by en
thusiastic Beaver publicists or is
the straight gc-ods remains to be
seen. The general opinion from
the Duck camp was that Durdan
would be big as life by game time
tonight.
Back in fine fettle is Erland
(Andy) Anderson, OSC’s bril
liant sophomore center, whp
was out for one week with v >
shoulder ailment. Anderson has
returned to the fold to bolster
the scoring potency of the Bea
ver boys.
Forwards for the Orangemen
in the Igloo scuffle will probably
be Glen Warren, veteran top
notcher, and Don Cecil, capable
California transfer who has dove
tailed into the Bevo lineup so
nicely. Height is here, plus scor
ing punch.
Guards appear to be the afore
mentioned Mr. Beck and Fresh
man Holman—unless Durdan is
ready for duty. In that event he
will probably substitute for the
young rook who clogged the
guard hole so effectively when
Durdan was on the shelf.
Hobby’s boys will be able to
give the Beavers a rugged thT

and gigantic Roger Wiley real

Remainder of the Duck line

of Captain Don Kirseh and Stan
Williamson at guards.
