Since their victory over the Trailblazers, the Army Ducks have run their winning streak to siv straight games over the toughest competition available. Last Satur day the GI’s showed no signs of weakening as they rolled over the Tillamook Naval Air base five by a 47 to 33 count. In the previous game with the 70th at Camp Adair, the Trailblaz ers were unable to peentrate the tight zone used by the Army Ducks, but were evidently having a letdown after holding the highly rated Albina Hellships to a one point victory. Bill Moylan, who has shown com pletedomination f.f the rebounds at both backboards, and Bob Nail, with a scoring average of almost 15 points a. game, will be the chief worries of the Trailblazer five. Fred Brandiger, a new face in the starting lineup, nil! team with Bob Kramme to give the GI’s plenty of speed in the front court. Vandals, Ducks Vie for Position When the Oregon Webfoots meet the Idaho Vandals at the Igloo next Monday and Tuesday nights it will be a grand slam battle be tween the two teams for second place in the league standings. The two teams are now tied, and if either team wine both games it will leave that squad in full pos session of second place. In the two tilts already marked off by the. teams, Oregon has won both; the first was an overtime game and the final score was 50 to 41. In the second game the Web foots ran around the Vandals win ning a 78 to 42 victory. From these indications it would seem that the Webfoots are cap able of turning back the Vandals; but Idaho has two wins to its cred it over Washington State, and they defeated the Ducks once as against one loss.
