Teams Clash In Mac Court At 8 Tonight Victims of the wear and tear < 1’ their long basketball season, Be casualty-ridden Ducks rolled >r» their practice sessions yesterday and awaited their battle with OSO tonight in McArthur court. The league-leading Webfo. i t will be after their sixth straight Oregon win over the Beavers. O' e gon was tlie victor in four straight games last year by scores of: 52-33, 43-3S, 46-3S. 42-39. Oregon also topped the Aggies 31-44 i.p their first meeting this season. The Ducks are currently in top place, t'wo games ahead of OS's . and a win over the seccmd-p]a> •> Bevos would practically insure tho Warrenmen of at least a tie frr the championship. Oregon State Coach A. T. ‘'Slats:'’ Gill can boast one of the tallent aggregations in the Northern di vision loop. If Gill decides to, !;» would be able to floor a five that averages six feet, three inches. With Ken Hays recovered suffi ciently to probably play some of the game, Oregon's hopes soand almost back to a precasualty high. Del Smith is still troubled with a bad leg', and Warren has been lay ing his plans to stop the Beavi ; s, on the basis that Smith will r.- t be in suit. Both coaches are tentatively planning to use a man-for-man de fense. Oregon has been using thin style in almost every game while the Beavers have been using b< ■ h the zone and man-to-man style of defense. The biggest task for the DikM will be stopping Red Rocha, tne league's top scorer with 158 point--!, from continuing his high-scoi mg .tactics. Rocha has averaged aimer't 20 points a. game since the early part of the season. The Ducks will counter with Freshman Dick Wil kins and Bob Hamilton, both of whom ai'c high men in the scoring department. (Phase turn to page three) Former U. of O.
