Ducks Smash Vandals
Stan Williamson . . . Little “Salmon” maintained his hot pace at the
guard post for the Ducks last night dropping in 10 counters for the
evening.
Frosh Still Unbeaten
Ready for ‘Civil War’
By virtue of being' able to pull
games out of the coals in the final
minutes, the Frosh basketball squad
kept their unbeaten season’s record
last week, and now are beginning
extensive preparations for the
first game of their traditional
“Little Civil War” with the Ore
gon State Rooks at Corvallis Fri
day evening.
The Kooks too boast a clean
slate but have played only two
games in comparison with 11 for
the Frosh. First victim of the
Oregon State squad was Battle
Ground, Washington by a 36-25
count.
Earlier in the season, the Little
Ducks trimmed this same Battle
Ground quint 65-29. However, the
Rooks came back solidly last Sat
urday to trounce a highly-regarded
Newberg team 64-43.
The Frosh, during the past week
skimmed by Salem 55-49 and
Grants Pass 38-37, but haven't
seemed to regain their early sea
son potency. Nevertheless they
have always had just enough at
the finish to win the games which
is the deciding factor.
Still running out front in indi
vidual scoring are the two Duck
ling forwards Don Kimball and
Bill Green with 76 and 73 points
respectively. Other team counters
are distributed pretty evenly
among the other 10 men.
Following the Rook tilt, the
Frosh journey to Monmouth where
the Schopfmen wil square off with
the OCE frosh, and Monmouth
high in a twin bill. It will be the
third time this season that the
Frosh have attempted the feat of
two games in one day.
Outstanding factor in the Frosh’s
ability to win their games has been

Swimming Review-. . . Qea^e Maa^ieltead
I
By AT, PIETSCHMAN
Oregon finally defeated Oregon
State in one sport this year. That
was the decisive victory posted by
our swimmers. George Moorehead,
one of the free style sprinters,
helped the Ducks paste the Aggies;
lie won the 50 annd 100-yard free
style to take two firsts for the Ore
gon tankmen.
Moorehead isn't a novice at that
aqua sport. Since he was three years
old. he has been splashing in the wa
ter. His uncle, a life guard at Long
Beach, was the one responsible for
George's early start in swimming.
Since the youthful start, he has
been swimming in nearly all of his
spare moments. In high school he
was a member of the school team.
He enrolled at Oregon last year,
turned out for the sport, won him
self a berth on the squad, and pro
ceeded to bring home the bacon.
Oregon State's attitude at the re
cent meet in Corvallis didn't please
Moorehead. He claimed that al
though the student spectators and
team members were hospitable, the
officials and the Beaver swim coach
went out of their way to make the
Duck stay an unpleasant one.
“First of all,” George said, “they
barred us from warming up in their
pool. According to swimming
sportsmanship codes, the visiting
team is allowed to use the pool so
they can warm up, but they closed
the doors on us. In fact they would
n’t let us in until just before the
meet began.”
“We weren’t the only ones that
were disgusted,” he continued,
“even the OSC students were dis
gruntled at their officials. It looked
to me as if the officials were ex
OSC students with a real grudge
against Oregon."
He gives the State team credit
for trying hard to take us but at
tributes their miserable showing to
improper conditioning. “We wern’t
in top shape ourselves,” George
said, “until Coach John Warren
I
-started putting the pressure on.
Now. thanks to him, we are just
about in top condition.”
One or one and a half hours a day
are spent in the water by Moore
head in his practice routine.
What does a swimmer do in his
off time ? George is interested in
painting and splatters the canvas
with colors in a Salvador Dali style.
Anyone wanting a gaudy hand
painted ties might contact him. He
didn’t say if he would accept such
work, but most artists are always
glad to have their work on exhibi
tion.
A graduate of Salem high school,
George is 6 feet even and weighs
155 pounds, almost an ideal build
for a speedy swimmer.
Besides swimming, this splasher
also enjoys football, and noted that
he would have turned out for thf
team except that it didn't do his
swimming any good, so he stuck by
his first love.
Dick Wilkins . . . Oregon’s sharpshooting forward who finally found his
range to pot 20 points against Idaho last night in a brilliant exhibiSfcin
of accuracy W'hich completely stumped the baffled Vandals.
Stiff Workouts
Due Natators
Beaver-fed Oregon swimmers
resumed their daily training sched
ule Monday, and according to
Coach John Warren th#*boys are
in for some intensive workouts
throughout the coming weeks.
Warren declared that although
the squad soundly trounced OSC,
many of the times in the events
were far from satisfactory. The
aqua-men must concentrate on
both speed and stamina in their
nightly grinds as they prime for
a Washington invasion in two
weeks.
