Fighting Finn Kenny Seeborg, former prep star from Astoria high and pace-setter last season as a freshman on the junior varsity hoop squad, is now battling for a varsity berth. Originally a guard, Seeborg has seen lotion also at the forward post, and may be called upon to bolster the Ducks’ weakness at this latter spot. Frosh Gird for Battles With Prep Hoop Quints After Tuesday’s lengthy scrim mage against John Warren’s var-J s-ty, the Oregon Frosh basketeersl retired to the P.E. court yesterday! afternoon to continue drills for games scheduled with the Oregon ] City ana Salem high school squads! Friday and Saturday nights. Both! games will be played on the prepi teams’ home floors. Coach Carl Heldt sent his: charges through a 2-hour session,! putting the most stress on offen sive tactics. After running through | their set offensive plays, the Year-; t ngs squared off in intra-squad contests, with the first string men < ivided among two teams. The squad composed of Bob Tag gesel, Rod Slade, Ernie Wilde, Lie toy Coleman, and Jack Keller ■ owned the team of Bob Ford. Brad Fullerton, Dick Mase, Gene Miner, and Don Peterson, S-G. Cole lan tossed in four field goals for all eight points, while Urban made four and Peterson two for tha; losers. Heldt juggled his teams around it the remaining games, in quest; ( f a potent starting quint to throw; ■ gainst the high school squads.

The committee, which reported its seedings were upset when the top-rated Gonzales failed to show, recommended that no further ac t on be taken. starting material, and the week end games may see a Frosh line up with the “new look” on the maples. Heldt hasn’t disclosed who his starters will be as yet. A final workout is on tap for the frosh today, before they depart for Oregon City Friday afternoon. Hockeyists Rejected St. Moritz, Jan. 2S — (UP) — The United States Hockey contro versy developed into a jurisdic tional dispute tonight, but it ap peared certain that all American athletes, with the probable excep tion of the hockey players, will compete in the winter Olympics beginning Friday. The new dispute arose between the executive committee of the International Olympic committee and the Swiss organizing commit tee. The executive committee voted to bar both U. S. hockey teams from the games, but the Swiss group refused to abide by the de cision and insisted that the Ama teur Hockey association team be accepted as the official American entry. Both the executive committee and the Swiss group claimed to have final power on which teams should be permitted to compete and Olympic officials forecast to night that the possible outcome would be the removal of hockey from the winter games program. Perhaps expecting such a devel opment, President Fritz Krats of the International Ice Hockey fed eration revealed that his group was prepared to hold its own inter national competition at Davos or Zurich. It also appeared probable that because the revenue which the hockey competition produces is badly needed, that the sport will be permitted at the winter games with the A. H. A. team repre senting the U. S. but that it will not be recognized as part of the official Olympic program. M. J. Sigfried Edstrom of Swed Aquaducks Face OSC At Corvallis The varsity swimmers wind up their away-from-home meets Sat urday afternoon when they jour ney to Oregon State for a return engagement with the impotent Beavers. The Ducks walked away with every first place in the first water test between the long-time rivals two weeks ago in the men’s pool and are heavy favorites Saturday. The only event in which OSC is the high-board diving. Ray Staub, last year’s ND champ, is slated to return to action against the Webfoots, and should have little difficulty in adding the top spot five points to his team's total. Coach Ray Kireilis said yes terday that a 10-man {raveling squaci will leave Eugene at 10, p.m. Saturday morning for the oornvaliey trip. The team roster includes: George Moorhead, A1 Dahlen, and Bill Vannatta, sprinters; Paul Thomp son, A1 Ruedy, and Rod Weddle, free-style distance men; Willie Mc Cullough, diver; Bill Amburn and Earl Walters, breastrokers; and Pete Hill and Walters, back strokers. Hoop Flops MakeGood SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29— (UP)—Maybe it took a few years, but a couple of basketball players who weren’t good enough to earn varsity letters in high school are mighty proud of the “block B” let ters and blankets they finally re ceived from tlieir prep alma mater, Berkeley high school. Neither was exactly a flash as a gawky high school kid, but Berke ley officials decided both had earned recognition for their later triumphs. So honorary presenta tions were made the other night to these “ugly duckling” basketball players. Their names ? Merely Don Barks dale, UCLA’s All-American of 1947, and Chuck Hanger, California's All-Coast forward and currently the scoring leader in the' Pacific coast conference. en, president of the I. O. C. insisted that “We are the supreme govern ing body for the Olympic games” and said the full international com mittee will meet tomorrow morn ing and instruct the Swiss com mittee to ban both U. S. hockey teams. Order early Thursday for Friday delivery [ ! NEWMAN'S FISH MARKET Ph. 2309 39 K. Broadway 'Bad Eyes'Plague Hoopersin Practice * Coach John Warren sent the Wehfoot basketball team through a length intra-squad scrimmage yesterday, and if the result of one of the sessions is any indication of Oregon s scoring potentialities, a long, long shooting drill is in order. In the third 10-minute game of the afternoon, the Whites, composed of Reedy Berg. Dick Unis, Bob Don, Lynn Hamilton, and Roger Moekford shellacked the Green team of Bob Lavey, Stan Williamson. Roger Wiley, Dick Wilkins, and Bob Am acher 27-0. It sounds more like a football count, but that’s Roger Wiley, center nope Tor the Webfoots, will be up against a pair of giants his own six-foot eight-inch size on the coming In land Empire swing. Vince Han sen of WSC and Jack Phoenix both are of Hot Dog’s height. Babe's Cold Puts Off Trip NEW YORK, Jan. 2—(UP) — Babe Ruth, just returned from a 17-day confinement at Presbyte dian hospital, today postponed a scheduled vacation trip to Miami Beach, Fla., tomorrow because he developed a slight cold. Ruth’s cold, according to Charles Schwefel, a close friend, is not se rious. session at McArthur court yester day. The Whites were playing alert, top-notch basketball, as they used a fastbreak to devastating effect. They caught the Green defense napping so many times, it was just a question of how many points the winners would cage before the 10 minutes were up. Don, Mockford, and Hamilton were terrors under the backboards as they slickly and repeatedly took the ball away from the taller Wiley and Amacher. Hamilton got hotter as the play progressed and wound up with 11 points. Reedy Berg,, who at one time totaled 23 points in 30 minutes, rang the net for eight markers. Little can be said of the Greens’ play except that it was sloppy. They missed eight free throws, and even Bob Amacher, who earlier had canned seven of eight chari ties, missed four from the gift line. Greens Win However tne ureen te&m got its revenge later, using Kenny Seeborg in place of Lavey. But they only won out by a 15-14 margin. In the -first scrimmage of the afternoon, the team of Seeborg, Williamson, Wiley, Wilkins, and Amacher defeated Lavey, A1 Pop ick, Don, Berg, and Paul Cooper 20-11. Wilkins threw in three one hand flick shots for six points, while Berg hit for seven. In another 10-minute fray, the squad of Williamson, Jim Bartelt, Wiley, Wilkins, and Amacher downed' Popick, Lavey, Cooper, Hamilton, and Berg 26-20. Wiley had the honors this time with nine points and the reliable Berg flip ped in eight. The latter part of the practice was spent in working against Washington State style plays, in preparation for the Cougar tilts Tuesday and Wednesday at Pull man. Prior to the scrimmage, War ren held a < short chalk-talk with the team members. CASHMERES!
