JVs Slip by Pirates
Oregon’s junior varsity hoopster secured their first place
position in the city league last night when they knocked off
the Coos Bay Pirates, 60-58. A late rally started by the
Pirates fell short when time ran out. Despite the closeness
of the score the game was pretty much the Jayvees’. The
starting team for the junior Ducks showed more fire than it
has for some time, as it hit for eight shots out of the first
ten attempts, to lead the Pirates
16-6 with only six minutes gone.
The second squad found the go
ing plenty rough, however, and
after taking over with a 20-8 lead
at the nine minute mark, saw the
whole margin dissolve.
With the No. 2 squad taking
.the reins for the Jayvees, the
Pirates really got hot. They
scored nine straight points be
fore Darrell Robinson of the
4Vs managed to break the Ice
by potting a one-handed swish
er. Rut this slowed the Pirates,
Inil momentarily, as Ken Hume
hit for two field goals from the
side, and Dave Waite dropped
in a long one.
The collegians finally managed
to find the range themselves,
after Ken Hume and Chuck
Stamper had caged two more
goals to give the Pirates a four
point lead. Little V.lalt Kirsch
sank a one-hander from way out,
and then intercepted a pass and
cut loose on the run for another.
Just before the bell Luke Baccel
leri put up a lay-in, and this gave
the Jayvees a halftime lead of
30-28.
Starters Take Over
After the rest period the start
ers took over again. This squad
composed of Fred Wilson and Ken
Seeborg at guards, Jerry Switz
er at center, and Ed' Devaney and
Bob Don at forwards, took up
where it had left off, and racked
up nine points in a row before
the Pirates could slow them down.
A tip-in by Stamper, who to
gether with Ken Hume scored 41
of the Pirates’ 58 points, was all
the Pirates could get through the
Tonight the Jayvees play host
to the Oregon State Jayvees in
a contest at McArthur court.
Starting time is 8 p. m.
net in five minutes of the second
stanza.
After eight minutes of the
last half had gone by, the local
stars, displaying a clicking fast
break and smooth ball-handling,
had run the count up to 48-84.
In came the second squad, and
the Pirates again proceeded- to
knock them down.
The Pirates decided to run with
the Jayvees and did it so well that
within five minutes they got
within seven points of the locals,
at 58-51.
'Rally Too Late
Hume came through with a field
goal and a gift toss to further
narrow the margin, and after Bob
Amacher had registered his only
basket of the evening for the
Ducks, Stamper collected another.
But the gap had been too big, and
when Don Gassoway put up a lay
in to make it 58, the Jayvees got
the ball and stalled the last few
seconds out.

Webfoot Gagers Drill
For Aggieville Battle
By DON FAIR
Following' a clay’s layoff, How
ard Hobson’s Web foot cagers took
to the maples again yesterday af
ternoon in a session devoted par
ticularly to defense, in preparation
for the Oregon State fracas at Cor
vallis tomorrow night.
Divided into the usual Whites and
Greens, the two squads proceeded
to whip the ball around, polishing
1 up rough edges. Comprising the
first string which will probably
open against the Beavers were Ed
Dick, Dick Wilkins, Ken Hays, Ree
dy Berg, and Stan Williamson with
Jim Bartelt as alternate.
Pitted against this five were Roy
Seeborg, Bob Wren, Rog Wiley, Bob
Lavey, A1 Popick, and George
Bray.
OSC Leads SI)
Though Oregon State is perched
atop the Northern Division, Hobson
is conceding nothing when game
time tomorrow night rolls around.
In comparing the two teams, the
Oregon mentor feels that the Bea
vers successful record to date is due
to their ability to win the close
ones, while the Webfoots have
dropped four games by failing in
the final seconds.
despite the fact that the tilt is
to be played on the Corvallis floor,
it must be remembered that the
Ducks played the better of their
two games with the Beavers this
season away from home. It took an
overtime period to sink them 73-69.
Another reason lor iionson s
brighter outlook was the much bet
ter shooting and defensive play dis
played by Oregon’s quint in the
Washington series earlier this week.
The Webfoots came through the
j Husky frays with no serious set
backs and figure to be at full
| strength.
! Because of Slats Gill's strategy
i of throwing a zone at Oregon in
their first meeting this year, Hob
son has his men drilling both
against that defense and the man
to-nmn.
Although the starting positions
are just about secured for the game,
shifting of men as in the Washing
ton games will not be unprobable.
Much of the success of the Ducks
in those two games was due to the
constant substituting to keep as
many "hot" men in as possible.
Kxeuses in physical ed courses
are a "must."
Beavers Swim
Here Saturday
The first taste of intercollegiate
competition will be given local
swimming fans Saturday after
noon when Oregon’s heavily-fav
ored Ducks match strokes with the
squad from Oregon State, in a clash
set for 2 p.m. in the men’s pool.
Ralph Huestis, Pacific coast
breaststroke champ, will display
the form that gave him the title
honors in 1941 as he attempts to
outdistance his Corvallis com
petitors. Huestis had little diffi
culty in dunking the Beavers in
the opening meet of the season at
Corvallis.
Tom Corbett and Benny Holcomb
will display their diving skill at the
halfway mark in the meet, and Ray
Saunders of Oregon State is ex
pected to press the pair for top
places. Corbett, a former ND titlist,
copped first place in the fracas
with Washington last week and
Holcomb is again rounding into the
form that he exhibited in the first
state meet.
Boh Hiatt, who churned a ster
ling performance against the
Huskies will he on hand in an at
tempt to duplicate his clockings
Saturday, with Don Rush as his
running mate.
Frosh Leave
On KF Jaunt
Ted Schopf and his undefeated
Duckling's travel to Klamath Falls
today for two weekend games, one
against the Klamath Falls Pelicans
tonight, and another Saturday
night against Ashley Chevrolet, an
independent five, the proceeds of
which go to the polio fund.
Earlier this week the Frosh won
games on two double headers on
consecutive days to run their win
ning streak to 19 games without
defeat. The Ducklings have faced
a rugged schedule each week with
this one sporting a total of six.
Schopf Doubtful
Considering this fact, Schopf, not
underestimating his boys and their
prodigious 19 straight victories, is
not over-confident about the week
end contests.
Having seen Klamath Falls in ac
tion the Frosh coach has tabbed the
Pelicans as a team likely to win a
top berth in the state basketball
scramble this year. He believes the
60-50 showing Klamath Falls made
Monday against the Ducklings is an
indication that tonight's game will
be no cinch.
Guards Score Often
The Pelicans rely heavily on their
tall center, Thorn, who chalked up
nine points against the Frosh, and
LeRoy Coleman and Gene Hover,
the two driving guards, who lobbed
in 13 tallies apiece.
The Frosh are up against it on
pre-game information for the Sat
urday night game, having never
seen the Ashley Chevrolet squad in
play.
