JVs Outbattle Varsity Quint
In Raqged Court Scrimmage
Oregon’s junior varsity hoop
squad, city league titlists, supplied
the surprise punch of yesterday’s
cage session by outscoring the var
sity in a 20-minute scrimmage.
The JVs, using a starting lineup
of Ed Devaney, Jerry Switzer, for
wards; Bob Don, center; and Kenny
Seeborg and Fred Wilson, guards;
split the varsity defense wide open
repeatedly to score quick buckets
and end on top in the abbreviated
game. Bob Amacher and Luke Bac
celeri also helped the JV cause
along.
Because of the results Of the
workout, the varsity quint will
hold another meeting- with the
JVs this afternoon in another en
deavor to get the Hobson men in
a fighting frame of mind for the
Oregon State encounter.
Trying to salvage one game from
the Beavers this season, the Ducks
have been going through rough
practice all this week. Hobson also
has made it plain that should any
of the JVs show the necessary stuff
in the scrimmage this week, they
will get the go-ahead signal to play
in the Aggie tilt.
After the half-game workout,
Hobson spent an hour with the
JVs sharpening up their set-play
offense and defensive style.
The varsity 'will be at full
strength for the Beavers next Sat
urday night, as Roger Wiley is back
in the fold and Ed Dick is gradually
increasing the tempo of his playing.
Stan Williamson, who received a
cut over his eye in Tuesday’s prac
tice, wasn't hurt seriously enough
to put him out of action.

a row. The Colonials have won
13 games and lost two in their
prep league.
In scoring the Colonials are at
the top, having scored 778 points

Most of this load rests on the
shoulders of three men. Tall Ray
Foleen, the center, leads the team
with 188 points and a little way
back are the two spark-plug guards.
Jack Keller and Daryl Nelson, with
169 and 152 points respectively.

and Rod Downey at the guards.
Below is the season scoring rec
ord as it stands now with one game
left for every member of the Frosh
team. Regarding the point totals
of the top scorers. Schopf empha
sized that they should be multiplied
by two to get a true picture of the
scoring ability of these players.
Many of the men, too, did not see
action in all of the 25 games played.
