Trailing by four points at the end of first half hostilities. 16 to '12. it looked like the Jayvees were going to have a plenty tough time taking this one from the fired-up Oilers, as the latter outsped and outplayed the obviously game weary junior team. The JVs, ragged on passing and shooting, hit for only five field goals out of 28 attempts in the opening half. After Oiler Dale Warberg’s one hander following the rest period it was exactly ten minutes before the Richfield squad managed to get in another field goal. Meanwhile the Jayvees ran rampant. Bob Don, who was high point man of the game with nine markers, put up a shot from the key that was good, e,nd that set up an attack that didn't stop until the college kids had run up a margin of 17 points. Ken Seeborg lopped in a long arching shot, and then Don came hack with a pivot shot from under the boards. From this point every man on the floor for the Jayvees managed to sink at least one bas ket. It was Warberg again who final ly stopped the JVs’ hot streak. He put up a lay-in after ten minutes, during which the only score for the Oilers was his gift toss. But the damage had been done, and the game was too far gone for the Rich field squad to make a comeback. The score by this time read 36 to 21, and the same margin was main tained until the final bell, as each outfit hit for ten points.

From the records of their pre vious games, the Rooks represent anything hut a soft touch. Bob Bergstrom's squad, in their opener last Friday night trimmed Battle Ground 36-25, and followed this by decisively stopping a 10-game New berg winning streak by a 64-63 margin.

Power-punch in the Rook lineup is evenly distributed, with one of the outstanding men being forward Warren Windnagle, a former Port land prep all-city star.

What Oregon does to Washington State, or just vice ver sa will determine Oregon’s chances for the Northern Division confer ence championship. Although Oregon is fresh from two straight victories over a hap less Idaho five, Oregon will be the underdogs in the forthcoming games. At the present moment, Washington State is red hot. They knocked off the previously unbeat end University of Washington team in two thrilling games last week, and are right in the thick of the conference fight for the champion ship. Coach Hobson changed his start ing lineup before the Idaho series in hopes of producing a winning combination. Dick Wilkins re placed Dick at forward and Bob La vey took A1 Popick’s guard slot. Wilkins was especially noticed for contributing 20 points to Oregon’s first victory over Idaho. The probable starting lineup for Oregon in tonight’s game with the Cougars will be Wilkins and Hays, forwards; Wiley, center; and W'il liamson and Popick, guards. Meanwhile, the Oregon State Bea vers travel to Seattle to face the Huskies in two games which should provide plenty of interesting bas ketball for the home town fans.
