Eye Weekend Battles
Dividing the hour and a quarter
practice session into 11 scrimmag
es John Warren’s varsity basket
hull team defeated the frosh by an
aggregate count of 15G-84 yester
day, as a warmup for the two-game
series in Seattle this weekend
against Washington.
On tap for the Webfout cagers
today is another lighter ssesiqn, as
Warren is trying to have his team
at peak performance against the
touted Huskies. Currently, Wash
ington is tied for third in the north
ern division race with Idaho. But
Oregon, in the top spot, leads the
Northerners by only a scant half
game.
Assistant cage coach Don Kirsch
v ent to Sqattlo last Friday and
Saturday to scout the Washington
WSC series, and reported that the
Cougars’ tight defense held the
Huskies well in check the first
night. However, Art McLarney’s
team remedied this in the second
game to gain a split.
Stan Hot
Stan Williamson turned in an
outstanding performance in yester
day’s session, as the little hustler
v; as all over the court, retrieving
rebounds and driving in to sink
cripples. Williamson, the field gen
eral of the Webfoot first string, set
Tip the plays in his usual mechan
ical style, and fed other team mem
bers for scores.
Big pivot man Roger Wiley had
no off afternoon on his lay-in shots,
txis cripple heaves wouldn’t stay in
the basket on most occasions. Wi
ley’s understudy, Bob Amacher,
came up with one of his best after
noons of the season. Big Bob’s
shots were deadly, including' a pair
of nice pivot-hook tosses, and un
der the boards he was snaring re
bounds right and left.
Wilkins Hits
Oregon’s leading scorer in the
northern division, Dick Wilkins,
proved why in the scrimmage. He
had his two-hand, split-second set
shot working to perfection, firing
at all angles over the frosh defense.
Paul Cooper, now first alternate
at forward, caged several of his fa
vorite one-hand shots.
The starting quintet of Wilkins,
Bartelt, Wiley, Williamson, and A1
Popick was only able to ring up a
17-14 lead on the yearlings after
the first 10-minute scrimmage. But
the varsity picked up momentum
from there.
Alternating 12 men, for the big
ger share of the afternoon, War
ren's cagers went on a scoring
spree in one 10-minute fray as they
outpointed the Carl Heldt coached
Frosh 32-23. Biggest margin for
the varsity was a 22-5 edge they
managed in an eight-minute game.
In only one scrimmage, of five
minute duration, were the little
Ducks able to post an edge over
their rivals, 8-0. Once, the Frosh
were shut out, 15-0, and in the last
scrimmage sparked by Bill
Green's 11 points, managed to take
a 15-9 verdict.

Giants Get
Grid Whiz
New York, Jan. 20—(UP)—The
New York Giants of the National
Football league today secured the
draft rights to Charley Conerly,
the University of Mississippi’s
brilliant triple - threat halfback,
from the Washington Redskins in
exchange for Howie Livingston.
In addition to Livingston, who
played four seasons at halfback
for New York, the Redskins will re
ceive another Giant player to be
determined later.
I Announcement of the deal con
l firmed a United Fress report of
two weeks ago that the Redskins
would turn over Connerly’s draft
rights to the Giants as soon as
they signed quarterback Harry
Gilmer of Alabama as an under
study to the aging Sammy Baugh.
Racket League
To Start Soon
By BETH BASLER
Women’s house managers are
asked to turn in badminton entry
blanks at the cage in Gerlinger to
day'. This is necessary if the games
are to be scheduled to start Jan
uary 22, according to Manager Ei
leen Riemer.
The first days of the tournament
will be given over to singles match
es, followed by doubles. Eileen men
tioned the possibility of an exhi
bition match which could be
worked up and presented on the
program for the winter term WAA
fun night.
With the new plan for individual,
rather than house competition it
would be possible for the champion
and the runner-up to come from the
same house. As many girls may
enter the play from one house as
wish to play.

Husky Fans Heap Praise
On Flashy Forward Stai
By DICK MASE
Many University of Washing
ton basketball followers tab for
ward Sammy White as Washing
ton's seventh All-American. Gifted
with speed, ball-handling talent,
and basketball saavy, White is
one of the most promising stars
to come out of Washington in a
long while.
Sammy earned recognition last
year as a freshman by tifeing
named to the second team All
Northern Division squad. He fin
ished eighth in conference scoring
with a total of 149 points.
White Sixth
Although White hasn’t set the
world on fire with his scoring so
far, he is tied for sixth place in
the Division with an average of
nine points per game. Scoring,
however isn’t his primary function
in Art McLarney’s offense. Sammy
is the play-maker for the Huskies,
which is the job usually handled
by an older, more experienced
man. This is just an indication of
the esteem McLarney has for h
20-year old sophomore sensatioj
Active for Size
White is a crackerjack of
fundamentalist and leaves little 1
be desired in his play. He’s an e>
ceptionally pert dribbler for a ’.4
man, outstanding on backboar
control, and blessed with a knao
of knowing what to do and whe:
to do it.
Sammy White’s boosters hav
something to shout about and bi
fore his two more years of elig
bility have run out, their A1
American predictions may hav
born fruit. At any rate he’ll bes
watching.
White also is a better-than-ave
age first baseman on the Husk
baseball t§am during the spring
