Frigid Last Half Costs Webfoots 69-54 Game By DON FAIR Only five field goals in the second half for Oregon just about tells the story as the Webfoots bowed 69-54 to Washington in the Northern Division opened last night at McArthur court, before 6000 spectators. In the first half the Ducks were a sparking outfit, and when thev trotted off at intermission, the score was deadlocked 31-31. However three Oregon key men .Roger Wiley, Stan William son, and Rob Amacher had four personal fouls on them, and were practically living on borrowed time . Rut the last half was the payoff for Oregon. They couldn’t find the basket with a seeing-cye dog. In fact, they made only one two-pointer in the first ten minutes of the period. Huskies Quick to Pull Away The Huskies were quick to take a last period lead, when the basket drouth hit Oregon, as first Jack Nichols, who was high point man for the evening w ith 19, dropped in a free toss. Bill Vandenburgh’s corner shot, and Bob Jorgensen's one-hander ran the Washington lead to 36-31. Dick Wilkins finally hit one for the Ducks, running the count to 37-33. Front here until the 10-minute mark, the Huskies keep pouring in baskets w hile Oregon had to be content with a few free throws. . Oregon Rallies Too Late 'The Webfoots made a belated bid in the final seven minutes, trailing 58-43, and matched Washington point-for-point to the finist. Both coaches cleared the bench of substitutes, or what was left after seven men four from Oregon and three from thi' Huskies, had folded out. In the first half, the Ducks played the Seattle quint to a standstill, leading until two minutes before the end of the period. Oregon showed flashes of a terrific scoring punch as thev unleashed howitzers from all over the court, with several finding their mark. W ashington quicklv tools the lead on Nichols basket from the kev, but Jim Bartelt matched it with a long looper from the side. Wilkins followed suit with a 30 foot two-hander, but Bill Tavlor of the Huskies tied the score 4-4. Oregon Hits Seven Straight Points W ashington pulled into an early 9-6 edge, hut the Ducks hit another hot streak to pull ahead 13-11, with Wilev hitting a pair of cripples, and Kartell canning his favorite side shot. Ore gon kept adding to this until at one time they possessed a 27-19 bulge, which the Huskies slowly whittled down, after Wiley was taken out with four fouls against him. Kob Ainacher replaced the Duck center. And to give credit where credit is due Ainacher played good ball the rest of the half. He kept Xichols well in check and was trading punches with the best Washin ton could give him under the back boards. If Oregon Stays Hot Tonight the same two teams will be at it again, and if Ore gon can stav hot on the basket for both halves, the Huskies will be in for a tough evening. The referees last night left no doubt that the game was not going to get out of hand as they whistled down 32 personal fouls on W ashington and 33 on ()regon. Although the final count revealed tht both Oregon and W ashington suffered a like amouift of infractions, the Web foots were harder hit because most of theirs came in the first half while the Huskies were called down mostly in the final minutes when protecting a safe lead. Duck coach John Warren said that he would stick with the same starting lineup of Wilkins, Kartell, W iley. W illiamson, and I’opick for tonight's contest while the victorious Huskies will undouhtedlv stick with a winning combination. *MIe\ -let me in. I want to see how had I'm injured!"

In Collegiate Baseball New York, Jan. 9^(UP)— | President Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers curtly told the ■National Collegiate Athletic As sociation today to get rid of its own professionalism before worry ing about baseball grabbing col lege players. Rickey’s statement to the col lege officials came on the eve of their vote on the proposed' “Sanity Code.’’ The code, designed to elim inate existing psuedo-profession alism in collegiate sports, comes up for approval tomorrhw. The college baseball coaches repeatedly have complained that professional teams are signing their players before graduation and slashing the quality of the sport on the campus. But Rickey took a dim view of their complaints. Keep Out He told the NCAA, “You stay out of the pro field and we will stay out of the college field. If you don’t make your men profes sionals, we won’t either.” “The major problem confront Library Staff Changes Made Several changes have been made recently in the library staff posi tions. Miss Dorothy Randall, library as sistant. acquisitions department, J has been transferred and promoted; to clerk 11, circulation department.' Corwin Seitz, Jr., assistant, ac quisitions department, was trans ferred to head of the new gift and duplicate exchange department. Also transferred was Miss Deb orah Lewis, junior assistant circu lation department. Miss Lewis is now in the acquisitions department half time, and half time in the bu reau of municipal research library. The real reason Stalin is hesi tant about signing peace treaties is that he wants to gobble up Europe peace-meal. i ing colleges today is not one in volving the relations with the pro- ■. fessional game.,,. In fact, the in vasion of your ranks by profes sional baseball is very rare indeed.”""" Then Rickey struck his blow. Isi explaining why the major leagues^ tabled the colleges’ resolution ask ing for a hands-off policy on col lege players, he said: - • Colleges Pro “There isn-’t a professional club in this country which does not have written evidence—in quantity —that a great many colleges have induced boys to enter college. “Boys are then kept in college on such terms as we in the profes-"" sional game define as ‘profession^ alism’.” The Dodger general manager did, however, offer a plan whereby players generally would be retained in college. The rule would state that a player cannot be approached * ' by a professional baseball team from the beginning of his second year in college until his class graduates, with these exceptions'! Rules Given 1. If the boy becomes ineligible - for college sports. 2. If he drops out of school fot* one year. * 4 • 3. If he petitions baseball Corn; missioner A. B. Chandler, his uni versity president and his chairman of the eligibility committee antr gets a majority approval of his. desire to enter pro ball. Earlier in the day, the football coaches held the spotlight in the * NCAA meeting and Jimmy Phelan of St. Mary’s was elected president^ of their association. Harvey Har mon of Rutgers, L. R. (Dutch 'r Meyer of Texas Christian and Earl, (Red) Blaik of Army were named vice-presidents and T u s s Mc Laughry of Dartmouth secretary- - ' treasurer. ^ Lynn YValdorff of California, _ Lloyd Jordan of Amherst, Ike Arm strong of Utah, Carl Suavely of North Carolina, Don Faurot of Mis- - souri, Ray Elliot of Illinois and George Hunger of Pennsylvania were named to the board of trus tees.
