Williamson injured,
May Not See Action
Tiny Guard
Hurts Knee
In State Tilt
The Oregon basketball team fac
es the possibility of the loss of
guard Stan Williamson for the
weekend series against Idaho, fol
lowing an injury suffered on the
Falouse invasion.
In a scramble for the ball in the
f.rst Washington State game. Wil
liamson cracked his knee on the
hardwood, but didn’t suffer any ill
effects unitl yesterday morning,
when the joint swelled, making it
impossible for him to practice.
X-rays taken Wednesday re
vealed no fracture, but the actual
cause of the injury was not dis
covered. The extent to which the
I nee was damaged cannot he de
termined until today, which should
0 iso indicate whether Williamson
will cavort Friday and Saturday
nights against the Vandals.
I.avey Instead
Without the little play-maker,
roach John Warren used the start
ing combination of Dick Wilkins
ond Boh Amacher, forwards; Rog
er Wiley, center; and Bob Lavey
r id Reedy Berg, guards.
In the first 10-minute fray, this
quint defeated the "Idaho” squad
of Paul Cooper, A! Reible, Roger
tlockford, Jim Bocchi, and Dick
1 nis, 7-3. Wilkins fired in three
consecutive svvishers to pace the
i- oi ing.
Vandals Win
The Vandal team came back in
toe second round to eke out a 14-13
verdict. Mockford was high witli
; k. The third scrimmage went to
toe Webfoots over the Vandals 18
IWiley flipped in eight markers,
and Unis and Boechi six.
The quint of Jim Barfott, Lynn1
Hamilton, Cooper, A1 Popick, and.
I: occhi leveled the boom on the
si acting five in another 10-minute!
gome 21-12. This was followed byj
soother 20 minutes of playing be
fore the praetice was completed, j
The general play of 'the Webfoots
left much to be desired. Passing!
v. as sloppy, shooting was wild, and :
toe backboard-snatching of the
i giilars was lacking completely,
t nis, lioeelii Hot
l hi is and Boechi turned in a pair,
< five-star performances, giving
indications that these two guards
vmII have to be reckoned with, if j
t us is repeated many times. Both
were hawking the ball, Unis sev
i al times stealing the dribble, and
both had their eyes leveled on the
I. iskot.
I
Wilkins pumped in numerous
b ickets, but under the boards he
v as constantly being caught short,
r ainly because of the stiff play of I
Cooper, who also flashed at hand-;
i ff passes and ball handling.
The ragged playing of the Wob
fi ots yesterday may be a carry -
(. 'or from the rugged Inland trip,
with the team still recuperating!
from the long road jaunt, and four
revel-let-up games. Tomorrow,
tiie eagers will have another scrim
mage, somewhat lighter, in their
f lal preparations before the two
Vandal tilts.

Frosh Meet
HS Cagers
In Practice
In their last day of heavy prac
tice before scheduled weekend
games, Coach Carl Heldt's Little
Ducks engaged the rangy Spring
field high Millers in a lengthy
scrimmage session yesterday after
noon in the P. E. court.
The Frosh offense was clicking
consistently and the younger prep
pers wore outclassed ail the way,
but the Duckling defense needed
a bit more polish.
Heldt used a first string compos
ed of Bob Taggesell at center, Will
Urban and Ernie Wilde it for
wards, and Don Peterson and
Jack Keller at guards, and will
likely stick to he same combina
tion this weekend.
While on offense, the Lemon
and Green cagers were doing
everything right, repeatedly break
ing through for easy lay-ins. They
seem to be ready for the three
games Friday and Saturday.
Friday night, the Ducklings play
host to Harold Hank’s Salem high
Vikings, the number one team of
the Big-Six league. At their last
meeting, the Vikings outclassed
the Frosli 48-33, and may turn in a
repeat performance. Waldo, Un
ruh, Carlos Houck, and Jack Mil-*
lor are the big guns in Salem’s
attack.
Game-time Friday night is 6:15,
as a preliminary to the varsity
game at 8. Contests with Ash
land and Oregon City are se fot

Grid Policy of USF
Hit by Ex-Mentor
CHICAGO, Feb, 11—(PU)—Ed
McKeever, ex-football coach at the
University of San Francisco,
said tonight that he felt he was “i‘<
the clear” in writing a “white
letter” criticizing USF’S athletic
policy.
McKeever, now head coach of
the Chicago Rockets in he All
America football conference, ad
mitted writing a letter in which he
charged that some players were
paid “substantial sums,” and some
played despite questionable eligi
bility.
He answered with a terse “No
comment” when asked about var
ious points in the letter, but re
plied sharply to a charge by his
successor, Joe Kuharich, that it
//as a “deliberate attempt” n,
smear the athletes at USF and
the school itself.
“That is definitely not true—at
least as far as the athletes are
concerned,” he said.
McKeever declined to say why
he had sent carbon copies of his
letter to athletic authorities at
California, Stanford, St. Mary’s
and Santa Clara.
The letter was written to Father
Jerome Sullivan, moderator at
USF, and McKeever said he had
written another letter “about th ,
business of contacting boys in i
junior colleges and high schools to
get them to enroll at USF.”
“I don’t want to keep this feud
flaming,” he said, “but I wrote the
letter "so my position would bej
clear after I left. I feel that I am
in the clear.”
Charlie Harney, chairman of the.
USF board of athletic control, saici
McKeever’s letter could have
sprung only from a desire to “get'
even” with the school which vir
tually gave him his “walking
papers."
“We had made a mistake in
hiring McKeever and we were just,
beginning to realize it,” blarney
said. “He had made the situation—
and we were stuck with it.” ►
The McKeever letter was written
shortly after the Texan, onetime
head coach at Cornell and Sotre’
Dame, quit here to become coach
of the Chicago Rockets of the All
American professional footbajl
conference.
