Even before the beginning of tins term, before Christmas va cation to be exact, plans were being laid and plays were being dreamed up. Every once in a while, a bunch of fellows could 1 ■ seen up on the maple courts .1 :st playing around with a ball ‘>:ul priding themselves if they w ere able to sink one shot in five, ractiee Sessions Often during the two-week 1 '.iday period, individual play ers made use of their various lo ci' grade and high school gyms, 1 aiding up their stamina, leg mi soles, and trying to “find their eye." Tiie, with the first week of th’e jiterm, 55 squads, registering ■ total of 500 men, swamped the VE building and began fighting with each other for the use of rise two main hoop-courts in >s >.irch of a precious half-hour’s practice session. Usually all they eventually secured, if lucky, was the playing space around one of i .six baskets found in eacli court. The intramural department ■ June to the rescue at this time, much to the profound relict of athletic managers—by formulat ing' a systematic training sched ule intended to curb tiie general confusion. It 'was in this week that the teams began looking like teams and not as so many wild wolves trying to get their paws on the casaba for a shot at the hemp. The coaches cleaned off a few obvious rough spots and the starting line-ups took on a new coat of polish. Now, with the preliminaries over, the battle bgan. Every af ternoon three to six contests were hotly disputed as the basketball minded lads romped back and forth to the sound of pounding feet, a bouncing ball, smashing body contacts, noisy shouts, and a referee’s shrill whistle.

Husky Ace Snags Lead Fred Quinn, Idaho's hooper dooper score-monger, finally was unseated from his scoring easy chair, and with a rough jolt by Billie Morris, Washington’s rough and-tough guard. In the second tilt when the Huskies and Van dals tore into each other, Quinn was chained hand and foot and could only come up with six for lorn counters to raise his season total to 136. Meanv. hile Boisterous Bill was plunking the seed in at a merry clip, a point every other minute in fact, and came out of the skir mish with no less than 20 and with the league scoring lead in the palm of his hand.

W. feositewh uiiiiiii By DON LONIE This is the beginning of a tall tale 'bout a short man, who is just short of being taller than tall. It's Wallace “Wally" Borre vik, Oregon's gift to the clouds. Wally is the reason they had to build the “Igloo" with a fifth story roof and at least a tenth of a reason why the Saturday Oregon State story was what it was Saturday night. Four years ago the Borrevik family of Reedspcrt had the right idea. With tear in eye, but hope in heart they sent their bubbling bambino on his way towards the Oregon campus, where, as the ad has participated in one less game. Only other appreciable jug gling among the leaders came when Chuck Gilmur canned a dozen to leap into fourth place over Gail Bishop, Washington State, with 106. Top six scorers: G. Mori is. Wash.

Close Battle The contest for center position this year has been almost neck and neck, with the necks belong ing to Roger Wiley and Wally Borrevik respectively. When one knows the facts, however, Wal ly’s apparent sudden flash in the sports pan and then a recent drop into a struggle to keep h^J position as center is not alarming at all but really remarkable. Last year he suffered a brain concus sion which kept him out of school and away from jpall the full year. The fact that he is back on the floor this winter term is a lesson in spunk and spirit. With an almost perfect sense af coordination, about the only thing, then, that our G foot 8'2 nch junior lacks is experience. Incidentally Wally is the tallest nan cn the coast speaking in erms of basketball, and certain >' tbe tallest player on the Ori son squad.
