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'.

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.
