Gridders Meet Today
A meeting of prospective tout
ball players is scheduled for 4
p. m. in Room 101, P. E. build
ing today. Coach Jim Aiken
has made an urgent plea for all
men interested to attend today’s
session.
Spring training plans and
other footbah topics will be dis
cussed. The spring training
program is scheduled to get un
derway officially April 7.
via plane yesterday afternoon,
stopping over for a few minutes
and then boarded a bus for Aggie
land. They plan some warmup
sessions to get the feel of the
Beaver court before tonight's
battle.
The same two quints will
tangle again Saturday night,
and a third tilt will be held next
Monday if necessary. The win
ner of the playoff automatically
earns one of the four positions
in the Kansas City tournament,
with this winner meeting the
Kastern title holder for the
national championship.
As Captain Dick Perry is ham
pered by a hip abcess, the Bruin
starting lineup is indefinite.
Perry may start for the Uclans
provided he gets the go-ahead
signal from the team physician.
Otherwise Doug Sale will replace
him.
Other probable starters for
John’s team are Dave Minor, John
Stancich, Don Barksdale, and Dick
West. Barksdale is the power
house for the southerners, with
his deadly shooting from the pivot
post. In 12 league tilts, Barksdale
canned 198 points for a game
average of 16.5.
At all positions the Bruins
pack a good scoring wallop^
averaging 58 points per game,
against the Beavers’ 60. High
est total rung up by UCLA in
league competition w a s 82
against California, while Ore-i
gon State hit a loop high of
81 against Washington.
Prom these comparative figures,
it can be anticipated that the 2300
lucky spectators will be in for a
treat of basket-barrage basket
ball at tis best. 500 will be
townspeople, while 1S00 students
will be admitted.
Oregon State, with a division
record of 3 3 and 3 against UCLA’s
0 won and 3 lost, will open with
Krland Anderson, Morrie Silver.
Lew Beck, Red Rocha, and Cliff
Cra ndall.
Big Roclm, center for the
Orangemen, was the leading
scorer in his league with 210
points, or a 13.4 game average.
Beck learned up with him to
form (lie most potent one-two
punch in the northern division.
Slats Gill, who has been work
ing his boys on defense the greater
part of this week, will probably
use his deliberate brand of play
interspersed with some fast-break
ing' when the opportunity arises.
UCLA will hold a slight height
advantage over the Beavers, as
the Bruin starters average 6'2"
against the Aggies O'l". However
Rocha, 6’8" at.center, holds a two
inch advantage over Barksdale,
Season’s record favors Oregon
State with 25 wins, 4 losses.
UCLA has copped IS and
dropped 5.

Hoop Favorites Picked
In State Prep Tourney
Although all the prep hoop
squads haven't qualified for the
state tourney at McArthur court
next week those favored to go a
long way in the big event are al
ready being tabbed. The battle
looks as though it is going to be
close but certain squads are still be
ing given an edge.
Because of the recent upset of
the Oregon Frosh quintet by the
Washington Colonials, plenty of at
tention is being directed toward the
Portland city team. The Colonials
were the only high school squad to
knock over the Ducklings this year,
in a season that saw the locals play
the cream of the prep crop.
The Colonials aren't a particu
larly lanky team, with the tallest
man, Center Ray Foleen standing
six feet, three inches, but they make
up for it in the speed department.
Veteran observers of the tourney
have labeled them one of the fast
est prep squads ever to hit the
courts of the event.
Another squad that is rated high
is the Klamath Falls outfit. The
Pelicans also played the Frosh
team, and gave the locals a bad
time before finally bowing by five
points. The southern Oregon aggre
gation has the tallest average of the
visiting outfits. The Pelicans ran
rampant over the Medford Tigers
Wednesday night, 57-37, to cop the
No. 4 toga and secure a ticket to
Eugene.
Hood River's Dragons turned in
two impressive wins over their di
vision opponents from Pendleton,
and are expected to show up strong
ly in the tourney. The Dragons
pack plenty of power at the back
board in big Lloyd Buettenbach
and the Woody brothers, but have
n't hit too fast a pace on the floor
this year.
Eugene's defending champs are
expected to have a pretty rough
time this year, despite the presence
Sammies Win
Handball Title
The intramural handball ac
tivity came to a climax yesterday
when Sigma Alpha Mu defeated
the Campbell club 2 matches to 2
for the championship. The Camp
bell club eliminated Sigma Chi in
the semi-finals while the SAM's
defeated Phi Gamma Delta to win
a place in tHe final contest.
Erwin ana Marvin Horenstein
of the SAM doubles team easily
defeated Elving Anderson and
Carl Backstrom of the Campbell
club to win the opening match.
SAM's A1 Popick lost to club
ber Ray Miller 21-16, 21-18 to
chalk up the only victory for the
Campbell clTib. Saal Lesser of the
championship SAM team downed
Campbell club's Ken VVollenweber.
21-8; 21-14 to win the necessary
two matches and the coveted in
tramural handball crown.
of some potent men. Gene Miner
topped league 6 scorers this year
with 103 points in 14 games, and
will be depended upon heavily.
Not much is known about the
Marshfield Pirates, Hillsboro, and
LaGrande. The perennial Astoria
Fishermen, after a slow start, de
veloped rapidly to take their dis
trict. Lebanon qualified for the big
contest with the shortest crew in
the circuit. Not one of the first
stringers reaches six feet.

with 1G9 points.
Guard Leads
Duck Scoring
With the ’46-’47 basketball sea
son tucked away Oregon scoring
statistics for the schedule show that
Guard Stan Williamson and Center
Ken Hays ran one-two in both
league and total scoring.
Williamson hit 169 in league play
and an aggregate of 280 for the 27
game slate, Oregon winning 18 and
losing 9. The little guard also led
the squad in personal fouls 75, and
free throws 84. Hays topped in field
goals with 106.
The Hobson men averaged 55.7
points per game in northern division
play against the opposition’s 54.7.
Overall average for the Ducks was
62.5 points per tilt.

Webfoot Thinclads Prepare
For Intra-Squad Time Tests
With just a week to go before
the intrasquad track meet, Colonel
Bill Hayward’s cindermen went
through hard workouts in perara
tion for their first speed tests. The
track mentor has set the day of
the races up to next Thursday in
stead of Friday. The shakeup of
dates allows the runners to slack
off just before finals.
In nearly all of iite events this
week the men have been pushed
hard by Hayward in speed runs,
and some of the runners have
shown excellent conditioning.
Hayward sent his sprint men into
short dashes and also long dis
tance jogs. Jake Leicht and Wally
Still have both displayed unusual
ly good early season, form and
should l>e set for the meet Thurs
day.
Quarter rnilers were pressed into
full distance races by the track men
tor early this week and they have
n't slackened from the stepped-up
training program. Four top 440 men
are needed for the annual Oregon
State relays on April 5 and Hay
ward expects his speedsters to be in j
top shape. The battle for the top
four positions will close with six;
men of equal caliber trying out.
Next Thursday's intrasquad meet
will reveal the men who will make |
up the team, according to Hayward.
He intends to take the first four
men in. each event and work with
them as'-.the 1947 track and field
team. Meet time is scheduled for 3
p.m. Thursday.
