The Freshmen are then schedul ed to do an about-face and head for home, stopping at Salem long enough for a game with the al v ays-dangerous Capitol City Vik ings at 8 p.- m. Saturday.

Probable starters for the Pioneer tilt are Taggesell and Wilde at forwards, Slade at center, and Coleman and Keller at guards. This combination has been work ing well together in practice, and should see plenty of action ia both games. 1'rosli Fired UP After breaking even last week end against Klamath Falls and Grants Pass, the little Ducks have turned in three afternoons of need ed practice. Their all-round play isj beginning to show effects of this practice, and they seem to be fired up to come out a little better o i this trip. The Dan Jones-coached Oregon < uty quint should be the easiest tor the Frosh to knock off. The Pioneers, led by high-scoring Bob Hoffman, have dropped several games so far, including a defeat at tno hands of the Pacific university Frosh. Other members of the Pion eer starting five include Schnaible and Spiess at forward's, and Sane tol and Ruby at the guards. George Van Pelt, 6 foot-G incher, alter nates with Hoffman. Vikings tinted Tough Salem high’s pack m high-fly ing Vikings should give the Heldt tven quite a battle. Coach Harold Hank's crew have rolled roughshod i ver any and all Big Six league competition thus far, and a pail ! cf wins over the Willamette univ e -sity Frosh are included in their v iStory bag. Hank’s probable start ms are Carlos Houck and Keith Farnum at forwards, Jack Miller at center, and Bud DuVal and Hugh Bellinger at guards.

Lynn Hamilton, slender forward, and Bill Green, utility reserve, came up with a pair of eye-opening performances, as Mentor John Warren continued his experimenting with the cagers in an effort to find the best combination. Coming up with the day’s high of IS points, Hamilton was clicking in all departments. He ran up and down the court with the fastest of them, and his backboard play was sticky-fingered. In the first 20 Guard Little Mister Perpetual Motion, Stan Williamson, ranks third in total scoring for the Webfoots this season with 14!) markers. __I WAA Outing Club Sponsors Ski Trip An overnight ski trip sponsored by the Outing Club, is planned for > the weekend of February 21 and I 22.

There will be free ski instruction. minutes, Hamilton hit 10 markers, and added eight more in the final half. Green, who performed in the first and last sessions, pumped the net for 12 points in the 20 minutes that he performed. The carrot-topped forward racked up five baskets in the last scrimmage as his tosses couldn't miss the hemp. Scoring for the afternoon was pretty evenly distributed as Hamil ton had 18, Roger Wiley 14, Jim Bartelt and Green 12, Stan Wil liamson and Dick Wilkins 11, Ken ny-Seeborg 10, Reedy Berg 8, Bob Lavey and Bob Don 5, Dick Unis 4, Paid Cooper 3, and Roger Mock ford and Jim Bocchi 2. Bartelt on Upswing Bartelt’s performance, his sec ond such showing in as many days, indicate that the husky Ashlander is returning to preseason form. Both his one and two-hand shots were cleanly ripping the net, a feat which he has tried with little suc cess recently. Moving in line for a possible starting role, Seeborg drove in for three baskets, and added four char ity tosses. However his floor play, on occasions, fell below par. As usual, Williamson was in the whole way, maintaining his never stopping running pace. He connect ed in a pair of long cases, but most of the afternoon he continued his role as the feeder. Rebound gathering was pretty evenly distributed, with Wiley snagging the most, Williamson sec ond, and Don third. Big Roger was leaping into the clouds to dominate play on both ends of the court. Still trying to get a starting quint which will use the running system, Warren will hold a some what lighter workout today.

Warren, along with assistant Coach Don KKirsch, will depart for Corvallis tonight to scout the Ore gon State Beavers when they meet the league leading Washington Huskies. Husky-Ag Fray Billed At Corvallis By DICK MASE The first game of the anticipated Oregon State-YVashington series is set for 8 p. m. tonight at the men’s gym in Corvallis. The game definitely of the crucial variety, as tonight and tomorrow night are first place in the Northern Div ision and possibly the Division title will hinge upon the outcomes. The Huskies are currently a half-game up on Oregon State’s defending champions. The main reason is Center Jack Nichols, who plays a lot of basketball—all good. Nick has yet to suffer from a point famine, with six. league games al ready played. Nichols Nears Record He has hung up a 17.5 average and is a serious threat to the Northern Division scoring record. Coach Art McLarney’s Huskies couldn’t be classed as a one-man team, however, when such worthies as Sammy White and Bobby Jorg enson are around. OSC will be at full strength for the Washington series. Cliff Cran dall, who has been in the infirmary with a bad cold, is expected to be back in action at his forward post Center Alex Peterson will also be ready to go. He missed the first six confer ence games because of tonsilitis. His return is a morale-booster for Beaver Coach Slats Gill, because his 6 foot-5 inches of height are needed against the league leaders. Washington is the only school in the Division that holds a majority of wins over the Beavers in league play. The Huskies have 70 victories to their credit while Oregon State has come out on top 62 fames. Sports Staff Don Fair Glenn Gillespie Dave Taylor Beth Basler I RIDERS to Portland and Seattle.
