[ lie AA ebfoots last four games are convincing evidence that
it doesn t take long for things to happen thick and fast around
the Northern division.
three weeks ago the Ducks had a seemingly secure two
game lead over their nearest rivals. Not counting last night's
game as this was written before game time, the Ducks now
ha\e their back to the wall and are faced with the prospect of
winning every game or else. Of course the other teams (OSC
and A\ SC) are faced with the same situation, but Oregon or
Oiegon State are sore to eliminate one or the other in their
clash March 3.
All of which strengthens the theory that the Northern di
vision, Pacific coast conference league, is one of the toughest
in the nation and can match baskets with anyone.
I hey haven’t fared badly in national ratings either. During
the past six years since the NCAA tournament to pick the
national championship team has been in action, the northwest
has won once, and taken second twice.
West Takes the Lead
Oregon walked off with first place honors in 1939 when the
great "Alleycats teams was wearing the Lemon and Green,
in 1940 and 1941 the Washington State Cougars took second
place honors.
the dope book goes a little further and lends itself to the
4lict that teams from the AA est play a better brand of ball than
the East.
The AVest has captured top honors for the past three years.
Stanford in 1942, Wyoming in 1943, and Utah last year were
all crowned as the top team in the country.
Perhaps this year will prove us wrong, and the East will turn
out the powerhouse club, but don’t count the Northwest out
until the tourney at Kansas City is played next month.
Ducks Wallop Idaho
(Continued from page one)
rapid order the rest of the squad
poured in shots from all angles.
'“'The Vandals staged a brief flur
ry of points themselves in the clos
ing minutes of the half and brought
the score to a 15-point margin at
34-19.
Both teams cooled off during the
second period, although Idaho man
aged to cut down their defect to
11 points when the final gun went
off. Leonard Pyne for the Vandals
and Ken Hays both hit the basket
freely in the last half with Pyne
garnering 10, and Hays 9 counters.
