Coach John Warren announced that the var sity would hold a scrimmage with the Frosh this afternoon, in prep aration for the two Civil War struggles with Oregon State this weekend.

If he is out for the Oregon State series, Lavey will draw the starting nod. Several encouraging signs were indicated in the Saturday Vandal contest. Jim Bartelt proved he has regained his basket sights again. Bartelt rammed six swishers from •ill parts of the court for 12 points. At one time, he had a string of four buckets in four attempts. Miiey hoi Wiley, for the eleventh time, controlled the backboards, only in a much more obvious manner. Big Hot Dog snatched a total of 30 re bounds for the evening, off both boards, and was high man of the evening with 16. Sacramento lad Paul Cooper came up with a bright performance. The deliberate forward was also hooking onto his share of rebounds, ted the ball off in his usual smooth fashion, and chipped in with a pair of dandy left-hand pivot swishers. Another Duck who broked out of a slump guard was A1 Popick, the 5-foot, 0-inch speedster hit a hot streak just before the half, which found the Webfoots leading 34-17. Lavey Good Lavey gave every indication of stepping into Williamson's shoes, when the latter is lost by gradua tion. Chipping in with the first two-pointer of the game. Lavey wound up with seven points, keep ing Idaho's ace Preston Brimhall in check, and had a big hand in the Oregon offense.
