Hoop Action Flares; Nine Teams Play ^ The men’s gym hummed with ac tivity Monday afternoon as the intramural basketball season offi cially opened. The opening round consisted of four games which proved to be one-sided affairs. As a result of their impressive wins in the first round it looks like the Mink’s and the SAEs will be the teams to beat. The Campbell club, however, drew a bye and judging from their preseason scores will probably floor a strong team. The first game between the Can trells and the Sharpies was a lop sided affair with the Cantrells com ing out on-the long side of a 43-19 score. Paced by Lee and Donaldson, the fast breaking Cantrells led by a lengthy margin throughout the contest. Due to the ineligibility of Jim Lee, the winners were forced to forfeit their win. Score: 2-0 favor of the Sharpies. Another one-sided contest saw the Minks trample the hapless Yeo men 45-13. The Minks, paced by Mink and Byer, displayed air-tight zone defense which proved to be too much for the Yeomen to crack. Greig led the losers with 6 points. The SAEs opened the season by trouncing the Monahans 48-17. Led by Bond, the winners completely outclassed the flashy Monahans. Monahan was high point man for the losers with 12 points. The final game of the day saw the Omega squad go down to a powerful Sherry Ross squad to the tune of 27-14. Chapman led the winners with ten points while Voegtly was high for the losers with eight. Second round games start this afternoon at 3:30. Webfoots Meet WSC Cougars Tonight Oregon Quint Set for First Igloo Conference Tilt at Eight Yesterday the Webfeet wound up their heavy week-long prac tices and awaited their 1945 Northern division, Pacific coast conference, home opening against the Cougars of Washington State in the Igloo tonight at 8 p.m. With four wins in five starts to their credit, the Ducks face a dangerous opponent in Coach Jack Friel’s Washington State college Cougars. In their two-game series with WSC at Pullman a week ago, the two teams broke even. WSC won the first one 46-36, and the Ducks came back strongly to overwhelm the Cougars in the second game 47-34. The Ducks have on their roster five new men who entered school winter term and Warren may use one or all of them, due to injuries to other members of the squad. Frank Hoffine, stellar guard, is still having trouble with a bad ankle and Lou Kotnik has been in the infirmary all week. One of the newcomers, Reedy Berg from North Dakota, played in the OSC game at Corvallis last Saturday and dumped in two quick baskets. He will probably see some action tonight. Other members new to the Lemon and Green are: Cece Berg, forward from Eugene; Nor man Moore, guard from Marsh field; Joe Logan, Long Beach, Cal., guard, and Brailey Brown, guard from Lincoln high in Portland. The Warrenmen face the neces sity of winning both games against the Cougars to retain their position behind the unbeaten Washington KEN HAYS Six-foot, seven-inch center who will be paired off against Vince Hansen of WSC tonight at McArthur court. Hansen towers one inch higher than Hays. Both will be in the starting lineup. Huskies. Washington does not play any conference games this week end, but will take to the road for their valley triji against OSC and Oregon next week. Tonight the Webfeet face one of the tallest men in the conference in Vince Hansen, 6-foot, 8-inch center. Friel’s starting lineup will average 6 feet with Gregg and Jorrison at forwards, Hansen at center, and Hamilton and Rennick at the guard spots. The Oregon quint will have a slight height av erage edge with Wilkins and Smith in the forward spots, Hays at cen ter, Hamilton and Bartelt at guard. This aggregation will boast an av erage of 6 feet, 2 inches per man. Beavers Drop CougarsTwice A. T. “Slats” Gill's Oregon State Beavers finally managed to get a game in the win. column after dropping three straight, by taking the Washington State Cougars twice, 54-32 and 48-36. For the first time in conference play this season, the Beavers packed a scoring wallop. They won the first game going away and the second one came to them easily as they built up a big lead at the cutset of the contest. One newcomer and a freshman were the big guns in the OSC at tack. Bob Labhart, freshman guard from Corvallis, potted 14 points the first night, and then Red Rocha, S-foot, 9-inch transfer center, poured in 19 counters in the final game to lead in the point depart ment. WSC played without the ser vices of their stellar forward vet eran, Mort Joslin, and his absence showed clearly in the Ougar floor play'. Intramural Schedule For Friday Omega vs. Campbell coop, 3:30 p.m., west court. Sherry Ross vs. Uhle’s, 4:15 p.m., west court. Cantrell’s vs. Monahan's, 3:30 p.m., east court. SAE vs. Yeomen, 4:15 p.m., east court. Fellows! For Service and Fine Haircuts EUGENE HOTEL BARBER SHOP Tonight will bo local rooters’ first chance to see the Ducks play on the home court since back about the middle of Decem ber. During that time the Warrenmcn have played 16 games, or one almost every other night. That's a lot of basketball tot; any team, but it seems to be just what the inexperienced Wc$~ feet needed before the curtain rang up on Northern division play. The Ducks are really flying high in the Northern division standings now, only one-half game behind the defending jeliaia* pion .Washington. The Huskies currently hold the top spot in the standings with four wins and no losses, and the Ducks art breathing down their neck with four wins and one loss. If the Webfeet sweep the Washington Stale series, as they are picked to do, they will jump into the top spot as soon as the Huskies drop one. All of the Washington games have been played on their home court where they had the benefit of tht naval trainees stationed there. Now they must go on the road and play with only their civilian team, composed mostly of freshmen. On the other hand eight of the Oregon quint’s re maining games will be played on the Igloo court. Getting back to this evening’s game with the Cougars, the Webfeet seem to be in top shape, mentally and physically, tor the two-game series. Dick Wilkins’ leg, which was injured in the Oregon State game, has come around and it seems certain that he will be in the starting lineup at S tonight. The big task facing the Lemon and Green squad will be to stop the Cougars’ giant scoring ace, b-foot. S-inch Vince Han sen. Hansen made 24 points against OSC earlier this week in their two-game series at Corvallis. Kenny Hays had the job of holding Tlansen down at Pull man on the Ducks’ Inland Empire trip, and he did a fine job, so he will have a chance to repeat again this weekend. The other high-scoring Cougar ace, Mort Joslin, was hurt in the last Oregon game and did not even make the trip with his WSC teammates. Without him a lot of all-around smoothness is missing from the Cougar punch. In the recently released Associated Press statistics on nation wide scoring so far this season, they announced two of our Oregon players top the U. S. in the point-making department. Dick Williams, freshman forward, is high for the nation with 110 points in 30 games. Second is Capt. Bob Hamilton with 101 counters. The closest man to these two Duck basketeers isi :i player from DePaul University with 239 points.
