I By WALLY ADAMS The game between WSC and" Idaho at Moscow tonight could do almost as much for the Webfoot title chances, as the game against OSC here tomorrow night. That is, providing the right team should win. In this case Idaho is the right team. If they should tip the Cougars, at least it would clear up the picture for Oregon and Oregon State. The Vandals have a scrappy, ball-hawking team, but lack the necessary height to combat the Cougars. Not even the bcaxxAo vv i lii Ld.ii xirs nave aone too .good a job of stopping Vince Han sen, and the odds are all that Idaho won’t be able to either. Higher Scoring Checking back into the records, it seems that individual scoring is on a sharp uprise. Starting back in 1930 the scoring mark has been shattered five times. Stowell of Idaho held it originally with 171 points. Lewis from OSC topped < "The Seventh Cross" — and — "Hoosier Holiday" McDonald "Trail of the Lonesome Pine" "Bowery Champs" LAKE PLACID SERENADE" VERA HRUBA RALSTON IT LEAGUE STANDINGS W L Pet. OREGON .10 5 .666 Oregon State.10 5 .666 Washington State .... 9 5 .643 Washington . 5 11 . .312 Idaho . 3 ii .214 that in 1933 with 173, and Galer of Washington repeated the next year by hitting the 176 mark. In 1936 the longest standing score was made by Wally Palmberg of OSC, who poured in 187 counters. An interesting fact to remember is that all of these records were set when the rules were very much different. You had a jump ball af ter every basket, and it’s easy to imagine how much slower the game was. Even when the game became faster and featured higher scores, it took six years before Palmberg’s record was passed. The 1942 Idaho squad featured bespectacled, southpaw Ray Turner, who hit the basket for 192 points to break the long standing mark. Even 192 points were only good for one season, however, as Gail Bishop of Washington State put the court hemps through workouts that seemed destined to last a good many years. Bishop hit a seeming ly tremendous total of 224 points during the 16 games conference play. WSC Man High Again Vince Hansen of Washington State didn’t start the season out in a blaze of glory, but by the time conference play had started he was creeping up in the scoring col umn. And now with two games left, the towering six-foot, nine inch center has tied Bishop’s mark. It’s almost a certainty that Han sen will top the mark, and if he continues his hot streak, he may reach the 250 or even the 260-point mark. From now on, you high scor ing enthusiasts will really have something to shoot for. il SAVE WASTE FATS ( EXTRA POINTS For every pound of waste fat saved we give two red points. < Eugene Packing Co. 675 Willamette Phones 38 and 39 Reserves Shine for Practice Sessions Picked as the underdogs in a do-or-die game. Coach John Warren tapered off the Webfoots' heavy workouts yesterday and pronounced the squad ready to face OSC tomorrow night. Both Oregon and Oregon State have their necks in a noose, as the season boiled down to the fourth round of their civil war series. The Ducks scrimmaged during the first of the week wim me reserves taxing over tne OSC style of play. The zone de fense that the Beavers will use caused the Warrenmen trouble at first, but the Webfoots hope to break it open as they did in their 51-47 victory over the Orange quint early in the season. Since then Oregon State has won two straight over the Ducks. How ever this game may be a different story as the whole squad appears to be in good physical shape for the first time since their series against Washington at Seattle. The Ducks are faced with the problem of stopping both Red Rocha and freshman Bob Labhart, the two high scoring Beavers. Warren wall counter with his high scorers, Dick Wilkins and Bob Hamilton. The Webfoot reserves added a bright note to the game picture, as both Reedy Berg and Frank Hoff ine sparkled during the week. Hoffine seemed to find his shoot ing eye during the Idaho series for the first time since the early preseason games. Berg was effec tive in his shooting, and dfd some fine work on the backboards dur ing the Idaho games. He should see some action in tomorrow’s tilt. Slats Gill has been working his Beavers overtime in Corvallis, in hopes of taking his third straight from the Ducks. He put the height laden Beavers through their final workouts yesterday. His ten-man squad will consist of Rocha, West, McGrath, Henningsen," Labhart, Strait, Puddy, Simms, and Moore. A Harvard medical professor as serts a child as a rule should be six years old before his tonsils or adenoids are removed. j- — WSC Vandals Clash Tonight Washington State and Idaho tangle tonight in Moscow, with the Cougars heavy favorites to win, but the pressure will be on the WSC quint. Washington State needs to win both of the weekend games from Idaho to remain in the Northern division hoop race. Twin victories would cinch the Cougars at least a tie with the winner of the Oregon-Oregon State game. They have won 9 and lost 5. As a sidelight to tne title race, tall Vince Hansen of the Cougars : will be provided with a. golden op portunity to shatter the league scoring record, set by Gail Bishop when he played with the Cougars. Hansen has tied the mark with 22-' counters, and every point he scorer j against Idaho will be adding to a record. Idaho will be fighting for their slim mathematical chance of pull ! ing into a fourth place tie with ! the Washington Huskies, who hav j won 5 and lost 11. Coach Babe Brown’s Vandal quint will be ha. dicapped again by their lack of height. Their tallest man stand;1 only 6 feet 3 inches, against the 6 feet 9 inches of WSC's Hansen.
