Morris flipped home 14 count ers against the Vandals Monday night to bring his season total to 126 -just four behind Quinn with 130, who sunk 12 in the same game. Oregon State's Lew Beck,who is third with 112 was tied with Morris till that point-conscious Husky pumped his total to within {.houting distance of Quinn. Gail Bishop, Washington State's Star forward, is fourth with 104 in 9 games.

Fred Haney, center for the Rooks, pushed in a lay-in for the Staters, but his tally was erased on the free throw efforts of Bob Ham ilton and Caviness of the Ducks. The gun sounded as Ken Hume was unreeling a howitzer from his own fore-court, but his effort was futile and the contest ended with the Rooks holding the chips for this third game of the "Little Civil War."

Fan, whose head is whirling worse than if he’d been on an ail-night bender. Gus has been trying to dope out this crazy NO casaba race, but every time he settles on one outfit, “boom!”, his favorite s»ips into the muck below and a new club rises in its stead. At present it’s narrowed down to a two-tram joust between Washington and Washington Stale. But just a shade below, and certainly not out of it yet, are the Oregon Ducks and OSC Beavers. Now in an effort to clarify Gus’ perplexed condition, hoop skirmishes have been booked for this weekend which should make matters more lucid. That state feud opens its third round when the Orangemen and Duckmen pitch into each other in Corvallis Friday night and then follow up with a fourth meeting Saturday in Eugene’s hoop headliner. ^v Up nawtli at the Pullman hemp house, Idaho’s baffrle searred ceilarites wii'i be trying to stage a “giant killer” act with Washington State')} high-flying Cougars as the object of their wrath. Maybe after this weekend Gus’ head will stop whirling so fast! I-M Quintets Rally Forces For Casaba Playoffs Today By ART CARLSON The time lias come! After a whole season’s' play, the deserving finalists have now come to (he long-awaited day of the playoffs. By spending the last five days resting in anticipation of today’s conflicts, all squads ap pear to be in best-season form. A few of the more nervous coaches ordered short practice sessions yesterday, but the ma jor i t y considered themselves “sharp enough to lay off for an other day and not to risk ’lev enth-hour sprains and bruises. Both courts 40 and 43 will see spirited action continuous UO Mermen Get Set For Vaunted Husky By IiOLLIE GABEL, With the aavent of the toughest dual swimming meet yet to scare up some foam with the Oregon swimming squad, Coach Mike Hoyman has been, putting the boys through their strokes more strenuously than ever. This Ore gon-Washington meet is sched uled for this coming Saturday at Seattle. The following Saturday the che.mp’onship meet at Pull man. Washington, is in line. Coach Mike Hoyman still isn't satisfied with winning every dual meet that has come up so far this sea5l a, and he still isn't sat isfied with having two of his boys, Ralph Huestis, and Chuck Nelson, break Pacific coast rec ords. This Thursday at the men's pool at -1 p.m. the coach has scheduled another of his time trials, but these time tiials have a special and significant meaning behind them. The time trial will not be like the others that the team has been holding, in that there will just be a couple of events with special emphasis be ing placed on the 400-yard free style relay event. The reason for the emphasis cn this particular event is that Coach Mike Hoyman believes that the team has the “stuff" to break this record also. The pres ent time on this event is 3:42.2. Last night in a trial swimoff team composed of Allen, Gautier, Houston, and Nelson made a time of 3:48.8, a difference in time of one and six-tenths of a second. Coach Hoyman believes explicitly in being consistent, and in the time trial Thursday he is “going to break this record, or is going to break the necks of the boys on the squaa." This will keep the weekly record of breaking records still untarnished. Huskies No Pushover This dual meet with the Uni versity of Washington promises ( Please turn to piu/c five) ly from 4 to 6 as every leagu^ title-holder is slated for battfjp on this opening day of elim in ations. Out of the 12 teams selected for play from the original 26 “A” representatives and the 30 entered in the “B” ranks, there are half a dozen Greek outfits rated as toss-up3, but the Awful Awfuls is really the only strong independent contender. Triple Bill An exciting and well-spent af ternoon is promised all basket ball enthusiasts who enjoy seeing' triple-headers. For the non-par tisan, the best bets can be had on the Sigma Chi-Sigma Nu “B” game, the Beta-Theta Chi “A” encounter, and the tiff between the Awful Awful 3 and Sigma Nu’s “A” quintet.
