The reserves held a light workout yesterday in preparation for today’s encounter. The varsity, however, continued its heavy training grinds with the Washington State-Oregon clash still a dav away. Dave Hayes, fast-i mproving freshman, posted a first-rate time ir: the breaststroke last night, and was given the nod over George Anderson, who will churn in the medley relay instead. Hayes will Frosh Slate Pair Today The Frosh basketball squad will defend its victory column of 20 wins against one loss when it faces Lowell and Medford high schools in McArthur court this afternoon. On Saturday afternoon the Duck lings play host to University high school with the game starting at S o'clock. Expecting strong competition from Medford, Ted Schopf, Frosh coach, rounded out a week's in tensive work with two hours of scrimmage and practice yester day. Defense Stressed Early in the week, the Duck ling mentor began to overhaul the squad, stressing defense, which he claimed had deteriorated be cause the boys had become of fense-minded in running up their winning streak. The second-stringers get the starting nod in the first game against Lowell. Sehopf will start Tom Patton, just returning from a broken finger, and Ken John son at the forwards; Elton Lantz at the pivot spot; and Pat Wohlers and Ed Cudgel at the guards. Pearpickers Rough Due for heavy action against Medford are the first stringers with Don Kimball and Bill Green at forwards, Roger Mockford at center, and Rod Downey and Chuck Rufner in the guard po sitions. The Medford Pearpickers ex perienced defeat early in the sea son from the Frosh when they lost 33-28 after leading 17-10 at the half. Medford has dumped the hot Klamath Falls outfit, which Schopf's crew barely nosed out in an overtime last Friday after having beaten them once before. be Bill Seal’s running- mate in the 150-yard event. Huestis on Sidelines Team captain Ralph Huestis will probably watch the event from the stands with a record breaking Washington Stater “Doc” Fuller entered in that con test tomorrow. Johnny Miller and Don Kess ler, a pair of backstroke special ists, are listed as the starters against Idaho. Both boys have seen action in previous meets this season. Handling sprinting chores will be free-stylers Dick Hazard, John Anderson, and Alden Sundlie. The distance races will see Pug Mayer, Paul Thompson, and Bob Ferris in action, with Mayer competing in both the 440, and 220. Hazzard Ineligible Diver Benny Holcomb, whose record reveals a second and third in intercollegiate competition will probably be Oregon’s mainstay in that event, with Willie McCul lough as the second entry on the program. Yesterday Tom Hazzard was de clared ineligible to compete in to day's meet, and one of the other sprinters will be called on to fill his slot in the relay event . GUY WICKS ... Idaho hoop coach, will send his winless Vandals against the Oregon Ducks on Mc Arthur court tonight. Pre-Season Trial Meet Has Haywardmen Working Hard Aspirants for the Oregon track team continued workouts yester day on Hayward field with short runs and exercises. Colonel Bill Hayward announced that he was trying to get all his men into top shape before the spring vacation. The first meet of the year against Oregon State on April 5th will pit both teams’ runners against each other after a week’s layoff. According to Hayward, all his men should ready their equipment and lie prepared to take workouts while they are on vacation. He emphasizes the point at this time because ire wants his runners to know what is expected of them. One of the biggest holes on the team thus far is the lack of shot putters. Hayward is disappoint ed at the lack of enthusiasm for this event and said, “There are several good men on the campus who can throw the shot; however they have given no indication of turning out. If they have any in tention of making this year’s team they must turn out now as I will have my squad picked in a few weeks.” Present plans call for a trial meet just before final examina tions, and the track coach intends to pick the first five in each event at that time.

JVs Sink Firs,70-36 To Cinch City Title By FRED TAYLOR Oregon’s junior varsity was hand ed the city independent league championship on a silver platter last night, as it trampled the Ore gon Lumber Firs, 70-36, and the Richfield Oilers obligingly knocked off the front-running Eagles lodge quintet, 47-43. The Oiler victory broke the first place deadlock be tween the Jayvees and the Eagles, and gave the collegians the title. It was the greatest number of points racked up this season by the Jayvees, as they wore but the Firs in the first half and ran away with the game in the clos ing session. Richfield had won only two games in the second half before last eve ning's contest, but had given the top clubs a bad time. The Oiler quintet with Gene Hebrard high point man with 18 counters, held off a six-point Eagle rally in the closing minutes to cop the tilt. Leading only 10-9 with 12 min utes gone in the game the Jayvees started hitting, and soon racked up a decisive lead. Jerry Switzer, Luke Bacceleri, and Darrell Robinson all hit for field goals before the Firs could break through to score. After a lay-in by Wayne Hickson for the First the collegians connected on two more to have a half-time edge of 22-13. The Lumbermen, who had two new players in the starting lineup and only one reserve, began to fade badly in the second stanza as the fast pace set by the junior Ducks proved too much. A barrage of baskets by the junior Ducks after the rest pe- ; rlod boosted the score to 51-26 : within ten minutes, and from then on the game became a rout. Lynn Hamilton sank a beauty from the corner just before the bell sounded to end the game, giving the junior squad its biggest point total of the year. Luke Bacceleri of the locals was high point man with 13 counters, while Anet of the Firs was second with 12. Lineups: Jayvees (70) (36) Firs Devaney, 6.F... 6, Montgomery Don, 7.F.12, Anet Switzer, 10 .C..10, Fox Seeborg, 9 .G.7, Hickson Bacceleri, 13 ...,G.1, Kernes Substitutions: Jayvees — Robin son 6, Wilson 5, Kirsch 1, Hamil ton 8, Holloman 3, Amacher 2. Firs —Tomich. f Webfoots Fight For 3rd Place (Continued front page one) at McArthur court tonight. Gone will be all-coaster Fred Quinn at a forward post and Bill Car* baugh, a 1946 starter at guard. Both are on the binnacle list, Quinn with a sprained back and Carbaugh with a skin rash. Another doubtful mark is Jack Phoenix, towering 6-9 cen ter. Phoenix was at odds with the Vandal chib earlier this year, and did not play in the second Oregon State game Wed nesday night. Coach Hobby Hobson issued no starting lineup, but it is expected to run much like that which an swered the opening whistle against Oregon State at Corval lis last Saturday night. That five was Ed Dick and Dick Wil kins at forwards, Ken Hays at center, and Reedy Berg and Stan Williamson at guards. Lavey, Bartelt Ready Likely to break into the start ing quintet are Jim Bartelt at for ward and A1 Popick and Bob La vey at guards. Another possi bility is the big lefthander, Roger Wiley, who has had difficulty in regaining the form displayed in former years. Lavey and Bartelt, especially, appear likely for plenty of action. Speed-demon Lavey is the only freshman remaining on the squad and appears headed for an out standing college Career. Bartel joined the squad late and is just now regaining his shooting eye.
