Hobby’s Hoopsters Trim Navy Quintet In a rather slow but rugged game at McArthur court last night Coach Hobson’s slowly improving basketeers took the measure of a scrappy Tillamook navy air base five, 39-36. Bob Caviness, 5-foot, 11-inch sophomore holdover, sparked the Webfoots to victory in a tilt marked by plenty of rough ness and personal fouls. Oregon commanded the play most of the way, in a more decisive fashion than the score showed. Hobson sent eleven men into the game altogether in an effort to give some of his second-string ers experience. Just before the half he sent in three new men at once, and five minutes before the end of the game, with the score 37-26, he ran in an entire new team with but one exception. Against these second-stringers the air base boys scored rather v heavily, thereby bringing about the close final score. Ducks Start Slow Oregon started out the game by playing somewhat raggedly, but as they got warmed up they gradually began to pull ahead and held a 16-12 margin at half time. In the second half they sud dShly began to click as Caviness dropped in two neat keyhole shots in a row, and with Caviness, Bac celleri, and Hamilton providing most of the fire, they rolled up an 11-point margin before the t ond team took over, j/or the visitors, Rock and Cas sell stood out. Cassell, ’although he only scored four points, starred in handling the ball and at the backboards, as well as providing a rather unusual feature by keeping up a running fire of advice and instruction to his teammates—he resembled a hoop quarterback. Caviness was high point man of the game, with 11 counters. Bac celleri scored eight. Rock took first honors for the air base with seven. A crowd of about 200 persons attended the game. While small, this was nevertheless an improve ment over previous tilts, every one of which to date has been held on a night which conflicted with seme other event.

Ducks, beavers Will Ally Dec. 17 Something altogether new in the annals of the Northern Divi sion basketball conference springs into being December 17 and 18 when the two state-of Oregon college teams meet the two state-of-Washington teams in a two-game, pre-season play off at Astoria’s big USO pavilion. The four teams will be pitted against each other in this man ner: In the first tilt one of the Oregon teams will play one of the Washington squads for half the game, then the other two will take over. In the second game the procedure will be the same, except that each team will play the squad that it did not meet in the first. The order in which the teams are to face each other will be determined by a drawing of lets. While this setup has never been attempted in northwest hoop circles before, it is felt that the jamboree will inject new life into a long pre-season schedule, ac cording to Anson B. Cornell, University athletic manager. Howard Hobson, Oregon mentor, added that it would give the four teams valuable pre-season oppor tunities to scout each other's out fits, thereby making for livelier conference competition. Army Hoop Aspirants Turn out For Practice Army basketball training start ed last week, according to Head Coach John Warren, who has charge of the army physical training program, He reported a turnout of over 100 for the first workout, including some prom ising material. Scrimmaging will begin next week, he said. In discussing the possibility of forming a team for outside com petition, Warren stated that he “didn’t know. We’ll just have to wait and see.” In another phase of his duties, Warren developed a football team which won two games and lost two in outside competition, besides making enough money to finance a basketball season.
