Ducks Trek To Seattle For UW Tilt Squad in Condition For 2-Game Series The Oregon 12-man basket hall traveling squad leaves l',u gene at 7 :55 a.m. today enroute to Seattle, where they will meet Washington in a two game series bridav and Satui - day nights. The Webfoots will arrive on the Husky campus at 4:30 this af ternoon, and hold a short workout oi the newly-dedicated Clarence S. Edrnundson cage court tonight. Formerly known as the field house, the 12,000 capacity Washington gym was named after Hec Ed mundson, last year's Husky coach, at. ceremonies during the first Washington State contest. Team Listed The 12 Duck cagers making the js.unt are Jim Bartelt, Dick Wil kins, Paul Cooper, Bob Don, Lynn Hamilton, Roger Wiley, Bob Am acher, Stan Williamson, A1 Popick, Reedy Berg, Kenny Seeborg, and Bob Lavey. In addition, Coach John Warren announced that Trainer Tom Hughes and Manager Paul Edlund wilt go. Warren stated that his men were to ready physical condition for the tough series with tire Huskies, with trie possible exception of Cooper, reserve forward. Cooper, in a back board scramble Tuesday was kicked in the instep. In yesterday’s short scrimmage, however, he showed no visible effects of the injury. Warren Says: Warren summed up Oregon’s hopes with the statement: “The pressure very definitely is on the Webfoots. We could easily skid Horn first to last place by losing to Washington.” Scouting tiic Huskies last week end, Don Hirselr revealed that Hus ky forward Bill Vandenbrirgh played a “beautiful game both mights.” His play on flic back boards was particularly strong, as well as his basket average. In yesterday's session, Warren had the quintet of Dick Unis, A1 Reible, Jim Bocclri, Roger Mock t'ord, and Bill Green working the Washington plays against the doz et men who are making tire trip. Both teams played heated ball, with the first string of Dick Wil tons, Jim Bartelt, Roger Wiley, Stan Williamson, and A1 Popick. Williamson, wlro Iras displayed great physical stamina in Oregon’s games thus far, kept up his driving [race yesterday, and managed to sneak in for a number of good shots. Forwards Score lim Bartelt definitely showed signs of shaking his recent scoring slump, with his play on the back boards. Bartelt swished in his fa vorite one-hand toss from the sides repeatedly, as did his running mate at the other-forward, Dick Wilkins. Wiley, whose accuracy with his left-hand hook shot is getting bet ter, hawked several rebounds, and ft pped in counters with either hand. Following the scrimmage, the 12 men went to their regular training table meal at John Straub a id then were again shown movies of ttre first Oregon-Washington g une. which the Ducks lost, 69-54.

Scribe Says Husky Reserves to Tell Tale Ily DICK MASK Put a big question mark along side Washington’s chances for the coast conference crown this year. The punctuation mark would refer to what's sitting beside Coach Art McLarney when the games begin the subs. Often the difference between a title contender and just another team lies in the team’s reserve strength. Many feel the lack of adequate reserves during a long season which on one occasion called' for the Huskies to play four games in five nights was respon sible in a large part for Washing ton’s so-so showing in 19-17. A Quick Look Let’s take a look at the impor I taut reserve situation during this j year’s campaign. Norm Carnovale, a two-year letter-man, and Bob Engstrom, who fits in at either1 forward or guard, would make up a. potent front line to back up Sam White and Bill Vandenburgh. Car n o v a 1 e, a left-handed, sharp shooter, played as a regular in 1945 and as a reserve last season. Jim Mallory, willow-shaped cen ter. will have a tough time filling in the shoes of Jack Nichols. Mal l - lory is the same height as Nichols and hails from Lincoln high of Seattle where he was an all-city performer in both basketball and golf. Guards Strong Bob Bird and' Andy Opacich com bine to give the Husky adequate reserve strength at the guard po sitions. Bird is a two-year numeral earner while Opacich earned his only letter last year. Opacich is a comer and is the only player in Seattle High school history to win all-city honors three consecutive years. Another forward that is m reserve picture is Doug Kirk who became eligible January 1. Kirk was the mainstay of the Husky “B” team last season arid he is slated for extensive duty this year. No Height The chief weakness of the Wash ington reserves appears to be height. Only Mallory and 6 foot-3 inch Doug Kirk sea)-, above the six foot mark. However, what they may lack in tall firs will be made up in shooting ability and exper ience. A lot of pressure is on these boys. They may make the Huskies I conference champs. - —... ."I Bine at ninmsy Room Hours 11:30-2:00 and 5:30-8:00 Sunday 12:00-8:00 p.m. I! \W I' rankiia Phone 30 Feller Inks Fat Contract By United Press CLEVELAND, Jan. 21—(UP) — Flashing his boyish grin in obvious delight, Bobby Feller today signed his 1948 contract with the Cleve land Indians at terms that may permit him to surpass the $87,000 he made last year and perhaps even eclipse Babe Faith’s all-time high of $81,000. But in the words of owner Bill Veeck, the Indians will have to have “a phenomenally good year” at the gate in order for Feller to become the highest paid player in baseball history. Swimmers Face WSC And Idaho Cougars Rate Edge; Idaho Cellar Team With a 63-12 descision over OSC the Oreo;<f{{’\h arsity swim mers embark this morning for a weekend invasion of the In land Empire. Friday afternoon thev are scheduled to face the powerful Washington State crew at Pullman, and on Saturday they will hit the lanes against Ida ho in Moscow. The Cougars are rated as pre meet favorites over the local squad. A victory for the Paiouse Hill boys would not only virtually assure them of a runner-up berth in the ND title race, but it would also avenge the Duck win last season, which was gained via the disquali fication routs. Oregon Coach Ray Kireilis sum med the situation up by saying, “Washington State has the com plete team back from last year. Benny Holcomb, top Oregon diver, and the fourth “O” winner last year, will not compete due to a severe back injury incurred dur ing practice last week. Against Idaho, the Ducks should fare considerably better. The Van dals were soundly dunked by the defending champs, Washington, last week-end, and they again will probably be settled comfortably in •the conference cellar this season. Kirielis did not disclose the starting line-up against the Coug ars. He declared that the individual performances of the WSC strokers were still an unknown factor, and that he would not place his men in the respective events until meet time. He said that eight Aquaducks will make the three-day jaunt to Washington and Idaho. They are: Earl Walters and Pete Hill, back stroke; Bill Amburn, breaststroke; Willie McCullough, diving; and A1 Dahlen, George Moorhead, Bill Vannatta, and Paul Thompson, free-style.
