Varsity, Frosh Hoopers Drop
Three of Four Road Contests
Tired Webfoots Start Drills
For First Inland Empire Trek
By DON FAIR
The Oregon basketball team, back from a dis
astrous road trip to Seattle where they dropped two
games to the Washington Huskies, began prepara
tions yesterday for the Washington State series,
next Tuesday and Wednesday, which is the first leg
of the Inland Empire swing.
Dropping from first to fourth in Northern Di
vision standings, tne we moot uag-i
ers now have their backs to the
wall, if they hope to pull out of
the tailspin and get into the thick
of the race. Following the two Cou
gar g a m e s at Pullman the
Ducks trek to Moscow where they
meet the Idaho Vandals the follow
ing Friday and Saturday nights.
Oregon mentor John Warren
said, “I certainly don't feel that
the team is out of the title scram
ble yet, but our next road trip will
decide whatever championship
hopes we have.” Currently, the
Webfoots trail the leading Huskies
by a game and a half.
Forwards in Slump
Biggest reason for the Ducks’
failure to show in Seattle was that
the Lemon-and-Green forwards
have failed to find the basket
range consistently. Warren hinted
that he was going to experiment
with his men this week to try to
remedy the situation.
He named Reedy Berg as one
who might possibly be shifted from
his usual guard slot to forward.
Not since the second Husky con
test, have the two front men been
able to connect for pay shots.
Guards Praised
Yesterday, Warren held only a
light workout for his charges, and
commended the work of the guards,
particularly Stan Williamson, and
center Roger Wiley, for their show
ings in Seattle. Wiley, who ab
sorbed a terrific physical beating,
showed up well on backboard play.
In the session, Warren had his
men first brush up on shooting,
work on plays, and finish off with
a light scrimmage. In shooting
practice, the cagers were notice
ably missing several shots, prob
ably due in part to a natural ten
sion, following two extremely cold
nights against Washington,

Frosh Drop Klamath Falls,
Bow to Grants Pass Cavers
Coach Carl Heldt’s Oregon basketball Ducklings
are back home licking wounds inflicted on their
weekend southern invasion, after absorbing their
second defeat in six games, this time a 46-44 loss to
the rugged Cavemen from Grants Pass Saturday
night.
The hot-and-cold Frosh cagers managed an even
split in games played over the weekend, since they
_. olirvrvorl Y\\r laof vAnr's tniirn
Jack Nichols, and some spotty of
ficiating put the skids under the
Ducks.
Paul Warren was originally
scheduled to officiate the two con
tests, along with Dwight Scheyer,
but when Warren suffered a heart
attack just prior to the series, Hal
Eustis was substituted in his place.
T.avey, Millikan Thumbed
Oregon guard Bob Lavey and
Don Millikan of the Huskies were
ejected from the game in the sec
ond half, when they started to
trade swings. Nichols had another
hot evening with 23 points, the
highest scored in the Northern Di
vision this season.
Washington forward Sammy
White also had his sights eleveled,
firing in 16 points, several of them
from long range. Again for the
Webfoots it was Williamson who
carried the burden. Little Salmon
flipped in 10 markers, while A1
Popick and Dick Wilkins tallied
eight.
As evidence that the Ducks were
off in the second half are the statis
tics which show that in the last 20
minutes, Oregon hit only four field
shots out of 25 tries. For the entire
game, they connected on 14 heaves
of 56 tries. Washington converted
22 of 60 tries, for an exceptional
average of .367.
n— -
ament second-placers, Klamath
Falls, 47-44, in a close one played
Friday night.
With high-scoring forward Jack
ie Orr throwing in 22 points to
lead the way, Hank Anderson’s
crew of Cavemen came through
with a fielder in the final 20 sec
onds to break a 44-44 deadlock
and salt the game away. With five
seconds to play, the timer’s gun
blasted ahead of time and the1
crowd rushed on the floor to con
gratulate their team. The officials
refused to continue the game,
though five seconds remained on
the clock. Rod Slade, substitute
Oregon center, led Lemon and
Green scoring with 10 points.
Will Urban canned 15 counters
to pace his mates in the Pelican
game. The Ducklings led most of
the way, opening strong^ in the
last period to claim their 'victory.
Guard Don Peterson clicked for 10
Frosh markers.
Intensive drills are on taps this
week for the Yearlings, since they
have another tough weekend of
action ahead. Oregon City is slated
Friday, and the Salem Vikings
scheduled Saturday. Both games
are away from home.
