JVs Pluck Eagles 50-45
Ken Seeborg Leads Scoring
With 14 Points; Bocchi Has 13
By DON FAIR
Exploding in their usual fashion in the last three minutes,
the JV cagers won. a 50-45 nod from the stubborn Eagles in
city league play at McArthur court last night. The win tied
the two teams for first slot in the standings, both with six
■wins and two losses.
With Kenny Seeborg back in the lineup, following a
week lay-up due to a pulled leg muscle, the Oregon quint
looked nerkier than they have in several games. It was
their first win in the last four
tilts.
It wasn’t until 11 minutes were
gone in the final half and the
Eagles holding a 38-30 lead that
the locals started coming. Jim
Eocchi, who also had a hot eve
ning, opened the drive with a
cripple and followed this with a
gift shot.
JVs Cut Gap
Seeborg’s bucket from dead in
the corner cut the gap to 38-35
but Howie Applegate’s free toss
lengthened the Eagle lead to four
points. Bocchi let fly with an
other one, this from 25 feet out
and it spliced through.
Still fighting, Jack Hannum
of the Eagles pocketed a cripple.
Ed Devaney nullified this with a
20-footer to make the score 41
} 39 against the JVs. Coining up
with his sixth basket of the
evening, Seeborg knotted the
count 41-all. Applegate’s long
one-hander however kept the
Eagles out in front.
Jerry Switzer on an under-the
basket-scramble again tied it 43
all. Bocclii’s long looper which
bounced in and Seeborg’s lefty
shot from the corner gave the
JVs a commanding 47-43 edge. Lee
Wimberly dumped one in to make
the margin 47-45, but charities by
Switzer, Bob Don and Bocchi
clinched the decision.
Eagles Start Slow
In the earlier stages of the
court battle, the two teams
swapped baskets with the JVs fi
lially taking a 9-7 lead on a quick
dash down floor by Boechi. They
jumped this to 15-7 befoi'e the
Eagles found the range.
Coming up fast in the last
five minutes of the first half,
the Eagles finally regained the
edge 21-20 at halftime on “Red”
Maxwell's tip-in. They kept ad
ding to this until the late Ore
gon rally squelched their hopes.
Seeborg with 14 and Bocchi at
If! applied the spark to the local's
offense. For the Eagles. Chuck
Taylor, who was clipping the
twine from any and all angles, was
high man with lf>.
Midway in the final stanza,
Lynn Hamilton, local forward,
cracked his knee on the floor, dis
locating it temporarily. However
he was up and walking on it be
fore the game’s close.
Tomorrow night at 7 p. m. the
Oregon quintet will tackle the
Coos Bay Pirates.

Duck Paddlers
Slate Beavers
A return meet with Oregon
State in the Ducks pool is slated
for Saturday afternoon and the
Oregon paddlers are heavy favor
ites to administer another sound
thumping to their Corvallis rivals.
Score in the last contest showed
a 59-16 bulge for the University
stroker. Oregon times recorded
in the Washington meet indicate
another thorough dunking for the
Beavers. Several of the men post
ed their best times of the season
last Saturday night, even though
the red-hot Huskies walked away
with scoring honors.
Swimmers Work Hard
Five members of the squad have
churned approximately one and
one-half miles daily for the past
few afternoons. In order to be in
top shape in the race for title
honors. The four freestylists and
one backstrokers working out are:
Bob Hiatt, Alden Sundlie, Don
Rush, George Moorhead, and Earl
Walters.
Backstroker Johnny Miller has
shown steady improvement in the
past two ND meets and in his
daily training grind. Bill Seal,
number two breastroker, is churn
ing his lengths with the idea of
renewing his duel with George |
Lipp, top Aggie contender.
Webfoot Cage Crew Given Rest
Prior to Beaver Onslaught
Coach Hobby Hobson’s Webfoot
cagers took a well-deserved rest
yesterday following the two-game
Washington series but will return
to the court for a stiff workout
this afternoon in anticipation of
Saturday night’s Oregon State
struggle at Corvallis. It will
mark the third 1947 meeting for
the two teams, the Beavers com
ing out on the long end of both
contests.
The lemon and green hoop sit
uation looks much improved fol
lowing Tuesday night’s spark
ling win over the Huskies. Es
pecially encouraging were the
performances of Forward Eld
Dick and Center Ken Hays, both
of whom racked up 15 points
apiece in downing the Seattle
quintet.
The work of Forward Jim Bar
telt also drew notice as the husky
forward showed evidences of re
turning to form. Bartelt did not
join the team until tiie pre-season
schedule was completed. When
teamed with Dick Wilkins at the
other forward and Hays at center,
shades of Oregon’s 1945 Far
Western NCAA champion ship
quintet present themselves. This
three along with Bob Hamilton
and Del Smith were starters on
that team.
Reedie Berg at the guard spot
gave a creditable performance
and may have cinched a start
ing berth for Saturday night’s
Aggie battle. Berg at 6-2 is tall
for a Hobson guard and is per
haps the tallest to play at that
spot for Hobby since Vic Town
send of pre-war years.
With 10 northern division games
now under their belts the Ducks
have amassed a total of 535 points
as against 537 for their opponents.
Leading the Webfoot brood is the
Mighty Mite, Stan Williamson,

cMaati Review...
I
He’s from South Dakota but you
can thank Coach Howard Hobson
and the famed Oregon “Alleycata”
for Reedy Berg's appearance on the
Oregon campus.
"Basketball lured me out here,”
commented the affable hoopster. I
read about the famed Oregon teams
when I was in grade school and was
so impressed with their record that
1 decided if I ever had a chance to
play ball it would be for the Web
foots and Howard Hobson.”
The Oregon victory over Wash
ington Tuesday night wasn’t just
a fluke, according to Berg, for he
**n the comeback trail.
“Oregoh State has a terrific team,
but I think we can beat them this
week,” was his answer when asked
about the coming game with the
Aggies. “I think they are the best
team that we have met this year,
but we will stop them if we play
ball the way we can,” he added.
The Beavers have a top ball
club, true, but the Oregon guard
said he figures Williamson is the
best individual player in the con
ference.
Coach Hobson noted in his speech
at the Igloo Sunday evening, that
one of the reasons the team hasn't
lived up to expectations can be at
tributed to their desire to uphold
preseason ratings. Reedy said that
he thought this was very true, and
that he had seen tenseness among
team members because each player
was trying to live up to their world
beating reputation.
He is a pre-law major and would
normally enroll in the law school
next fall, but now he isn’t sure when
he will start the grind. He hasn't
decided between basketball and the
law school and one must go.
The guard that Reedy weaers
on his leg in every ball game is to
protect an old leg injury. Several
year ago a portion of bone on the
injured leg had to be cut away
and the ever-present pad is pro
tection against flying legs.
STAN WILLIAMSON . . . diminu
tive Oregon guard who leads all
Webfoot scorers with a total of 109
points scored in 10 games. The
“Salmon” has dropped a total of 40
field goals and 29 foul shots.
