Varsity Trims Frosh in Cage Scrimmage
By DON FAIR
The varsity basketball team,
.showing flashes of a scoring punch,
walked over the Frosh cagers in a
•two-hour scrimmage session yes
terday afternoon. Following the
session, Coach John Warren said
that his candidates were beginning
to get in shape for the coming sea
.son.
The contemplated shifting of Jim
■Bartelt from forward to guard was
Apparently stymied following the
.practice, when the husky Ashland
er, performing at his usual post,
took the day's scoring honors with
31 points. Bartelt had his sights
leveled, pumping in perfect swisli
ers from beyond the key.

Ducks Set
For Beaver
Grudge Tilt
Thirteen weeks of heavy prepa
rations for the Oregon State Bea

Since the practice session opened
the first of September, the Web
Soots have been quietly pointing
ttowards this weekend’s game, al
though they faced some rugged op

.Start that saw the Ducks stumble
twice over non-conference teams
-mid once over a league member
tthe Eugene eleven finally hit its
-Stride and have whipped through
five consecutive victories.
Three veteran backfield stars
.were named to captain the Web
ifoots in the “Civil War” fray Sat

Early Gridiron Favorites Fail
To Play as Dopesters Figure
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20 (UP)
—The tides of fortune in football,
just like in any other business,
move quickly.
Three months ago, Oregon State
would have been favored to whip
Oregon; Washington to down
Washington State; Stanford to
tramp on California and UCLA to
thump USC.
But the “big” games of the week
find the reverse true in every in
stance—the result of one of the
most topsy-turvy football seasons
in the history of the west coast.
UCLA, unbeaten in conference
play in 1946 and the Rose Bowl
representative, - opened the 1947
season with a resounding 22-7 vic
tory over Iowa and the Bruins
were expected to romp to their sec
ond straight Pacific coast confer
ence championship. But in Satur
day’s fray the Trojans of USC, un
defeated this year, are favored by
seven points.
California, coming off one of its
worst seasons, wasn’t expected to
have much this year—probably do
well to win half its games. On the
other hand, Stanford has rated by
many the “dark horse” of the PCC
chase. Put there is many a slip
betwe';.'- the opener and the closing
of a football race and in this in
stance Stanford comes to the game
with a record of no victories and
eight losses; California with eight
triumphs and one defeat.
Pi Kappa Phis Win
In Wednesday’s volleyball ac
tion the Pi Kappa Phis defeated
the Legal Eagles instead of the
reverse, as was reported. Playing
with only five men the victors
knocked off the Eagles two
games out of three after drop
ping tiie first. The Pi Kappa
Phis started their victory in the
second game as they knocked off
the Eagles, 16-14, and turned the
final frame into a rout, winning
15-5.
IM Playoff
Cuts Field
Of Entrants
. The first play-offs of the 1947 in
tramural volleyball season went
into the books yesterday afternoon
as two high-geared upper-division
outfits, ATO and Sigma Chi reg
istered their initial title-seeking
triumphs. The remainder of the
day’s action found another pair of
squads battling their way into the
lower-division play-off and still an
other pair writing the last chapter
of their 1947 season.
Sigma Chi Wins
Headlining the afternoon’s ac
tion was the Sigma Chi’s two out of
three game play-off victory over
the Delts. The initial tilt of the
three game set was a see-saw af
fair for the first ten points as both
squads matched point for point.
However, the Sigs pulled it out of
the fire as they battered the net for
five consecutive counters', totake
the issue 15-11. The second game
was a complete reversal from the
first as the Delts jumped into an
early lead and maintained it
throughout the battle as they won
handily, 15-7. In the third and de
ciding game the issue was in doubt
until the final moments as both
teams battled to the wire in an ef
fort to grab the bacon. It was only
in the fading moments that the
Sigma Chis registered a narrow
15-13 to take the series.
ATO Hot
The defending champions of ATO
continued to find things much to
their own liking as they trounced
an outmanned gang of Sig Eps by
15-5 and 15-9 counts to notch their
fifth straight triumph of the year
and snare their initial play-off win.
Both games were run off in much
of the same manner as the defend
ers nabbed an early lestd at the out
set of the contest, and then coasted
in.
In the lower division the Sigma
Nus gained the play-off as they
