Supplying the one-two punch in the diving contest are Benny Hoi Huskies Ready For Beavers SEATTLE, Jan. 30—(AP)—1The University of Washington Huskies headed for the basketball ramparts of Oregon Thursday well-grounded on the methods of cracking—or at tempting to crack—a zone defense. Coach Hec Edmundson’s last team drill gave the squad a lesson in zone work on the theory that Coacli Slats Gill of Oregon State might switch defensive styles when the teams meet at Corvallis Friday and Saturday nights. The Huskies, who couldn't dent it last Friday, ran wild through Gill's man-to-man defense Saturday. The traveling squad, which also meets Oregon on the trip in Monday and Tuesday tilts, includes Centers Jack Nichols, Dan Roberts, and Jim Mallory; Forwards Sammy White, Boody Gilbertson, Bill Vanden burgh, and Bob Eckman, and Guards Bill Taylor, Bobby Jorgen sen, Les Eathorne, A1 Kean, and Capl. Charles Sheaffer. ^ohn Warren . . . Swimming coach will accompany the Oregon team to fscattle where they will tangle with Washington in a crucial meet.

Coach John (Please turn to page five) Bob Wren . . . Rough-and-ready forward for the Webfoots, Wren is one of lhe members of the newly formed “Vertebrate Five.” Used at forward he is expected to see Action against the Washington Huskies next w'eek. Jayvees Provide Workout As Ducks Prep for Huskies A length scrimmage against the Jayvees featured yesterday’s work out for Coach Howard Hobson’s Webfoot hoopers. With no games scheduled until next week’s series against Washington, the squad was given a stiff running session in preparation for the fast-breaking Huskies. Coach Hec Edmundson’s Wash ington fives have long been known as “fire wagon” clubs with this year’s team built around the guards, Bill Taylor and Bobbie Jorgenson. Taylor has been labeled by Seattle scribes as among the fastest in the country, but Jorgenson thus far this season has contributed a much larger share of points. jNicnois at The wbrk of Center Jack Nich ols has also been outstanding dur ing early season games. While in the service he saw action as a trainee at USC where he held down a starting role. Top forwards on Hec Edmund sen’s quintet are Sammie White and Boodie Gilbertson. White set mid western newspapers ablaze while in the navy when he performed for the Great Lakes team. Gilbertson has shared top Husky scoring hon ors this year along with Nichols and Jorgenson. Hopes continue high on Coach Hobson's lemon and yellow cagers. Eagles Take Handball From Theta Chi Team In intramural handball play yesterday, the Legal Eagles moved in front of the pack by triumph ing over Theta Chi in yesterday’s matches. The barristers proved their mettle by capturing two of the three matches. In the singles, the Legal Eagles won by counts of 21-2, 23-21; and 21-11, 21-2. Doubles match w'ent to Theta Chi as the Eagles had no team to compete and lost by forfeit. Frosh Invade Marshfield For Cage Struggle Tonight Coach Ted Schopf will send his Frosh basketball team out in quest of its fifteenth consecutive win tonight when it tackles Marshfield high on the Pirates home court. Unbeaten in season's play, team early in the season and : over Hank Anderson's rugged 1 field’s floor tonight may make a the Ducklings met the coast squeezed out a 42-40 triumph loopsters. Playing on Marsh big difference in the outcome, Poor shooting has been a contribut ing factor in thehir downfalls sc hard work on shots from the floor 'continues. althougn r.ne r rosn nave Deen perking up in their recent games. Kimball Leads Scorers Don Kimball, Little Duck for ward, is still ahead of the pack in point totals with 102. Close on his heels is Bill Green, who holds down the other forward berth, with 94. By virtue of a 36 point splurge in last weekend’s tilts, lefty Chuck Rufner bolted himself into third place in individual scoring with 84. Pivot man Roger Mock ford has 73; Ed Gudgel 62, Rod Downey 59, Pat Wohlers 54, Elton Lantz 40, Kenny Johnson 34, Tom Patton 27, and Dom Provost 6. Marshfield, in the first tilt here, proved that it ould run wicth the Schopfmen. As the local squad banks on such tactics, a racei horse affair can be counted on to night. O’Neil and Hunt High Point-making for the Pirates is well handled by Bill O'Neal and Ken Hunt, both of whom are no slouches under the boards. Dur ing season’s play Marshfield has been a hot-and-cold quintet, but as is the case with most high school teams, the Pirates play hardest when tackling a college team. Newest addition to the Duck ling squad is Dom Provost, a guard who worked into the two Monmouth games last Saturday-'* and handled himself well on the floor. Probable opening five for the Frosh will be the “old-reliable” gang of Green and Kimball for wards, Mockford center, and Ruf ner and Downey guards.
