Kirsch Runs Varsity
Thru Scrimmage
With Head Coach John Warren still in Portland attending a con
ference of coast officials, assistant Don Kirsch ran the varsity
basketball team through a lengthy scrimmage yesterday. Part of the
time was devoted to playing the Frosh, and the cagers also held intra
squad sessions.
In general, the play of the Webfoots was listless, as the hoopsters
lacked fire and finesse. Repeatedly the Ducks were caught flat-footed
under the backboards, and made wild, inaccurate passes and shots.
‘Nuggets’ Outpoint Starting Five
In the opening 10 minute fray, the “Nugget” five of A1 Reible, Bob
Charlton, Roger Mockford, Bill Green, and Jim Bocchi took a low
scoring 8-G decsion from Dick Wilkins, Jim Bartelt, Roger Wiley,
Reedy Berg, and Stan Williamson. Bocchi was high man in the practice
with two baskets.
The same varsity team of W'ilkins, Bartelt, Wiley, Berg, and Wil
liamson suffered a second successive 14-12 setback at the hands of
Yearlings Will Urban, Ernie Wilde, Bob Taggesell, Jack Keller, and
Don Peterson. Wilkins managed to shake the lid off the basket one of
the few times in the afternoon, as he scored eight points.
The team of Paul Cooper, Lynn Hamilton, Bob Amacher, A1 Popick,
Dick Unis, and Bob Don romped to a 22-10 decision over Ducklings
•Dick Mace, Brad Fullerton, Rod Slade, Eddie Artzt, and LeRoy Cole
man.
Hamilton Has a Hot F.vening
Hamilton was the hot man in this 10-myuite fracas as he dumped
in hook and pivot shots from all over the court for 10 markers. Popick
hit a pair of his one-hand jump tosses and wound up with six points.
The fourth round of the afternoon found the varsity quint of Wilkins,
Bartelt, Wiley, Williamson, and Berg gaining a revenge 18-17 decision
over the Frosh team of Urban, Wilde, Taggesell, Keller, and Peterson.
With two minutes to play, the varsity trailed 17-13, but Wiley hit a
cripple, and Wilkins, who had been trying without success, finally
bucketed a wrist-flip one hander to tit* the count. Williamson’s free
throw was the marginal point.
Under the backboards, Taggesell, Urban, and Mace were tying the
taller varsity men in knots. Wiley repeatedly had his hands on the ball
only to have the scrappier Frosh aspirants knock it away from him and
recover the loose ball.
Warren will definitely return to Eugene today, to shape up his can
didates for the Monday and Tuesday Washington State games. The
Cougars, playing in Corvallis tonight, will wind up their Northern Di
vision schedule on the Webfoots’ court in these games.
Maryanne Hansen Breaks Two
Records in Telegraphic Meet
By BETH BASLER
Two Western Records were brok
en in the first half of the Women’s
Telegraphic swim meet Wednes
day night, both by Maryanne Han
sen. Her time of 23.2 in the 40-yard
crawl beat last year’s 23.9, and she
shaved 1.3 seconds off the 100
yard crawl record of 1:14.4 for a
time of 1:09.1.
The results of the events of the
local meet are telegraphed to
Western Regional headquarters
and winners of the region go into
national competition. Last year the
University of Oregon girls were
fifth in the nation.
The 40-yard breast stroke was
won by Harriet Minot in a time of
33 seconds flat, with Florence God
frey in second place. Sally Johnson
came in a fraction of a second
ahead of Paula Castle to win the
40-yard backstroke in a time of
33.5.
Minot Wins \gain
Miss Minot also edged Florence
Godfrey in the 100-yard breast
stroke. Her time for this event
was 136.8. Almost a full length of
the pool behind Maryanne Hansen
in the 100-yard crawl were Joan
Call', second, and Birdella Ball,
third. Second and third place in the
40-yard crawl were Joan Carr and
Birdella Ball once again.
The 60-vard medley relay pro
vided a bit of variety. There are
three contestants on a team. The
first girl swims a length of back- ;
stroke, the second a length of
breaststroke, and the final member,
a length of crawl. The team of Han
sen, Minot, and Carr defeated John
son, Godfrey, and Castle—time,
0:40.0.
Referee for the meet was Miss
D. A. Outzs, and Miss J. Masilionis
acted as starter. The second half
will be run next Wednesday at 7
p.m.

Huskies Defending Title
Defending the conference crown
will be the University of Washing
ton. The Huskies, boasting one of
the most powerful squads in Nor
thern Division history, are odds-on
favorites to walk away with top
honors. Battling it out for runner
up laurels wil'l probably be the
Ducks and Washington State.
Although the Palouse hills outfit
defeated the locals in dual meets
earlier in the season, the Oregon
team appears in far better con
dition for the Saturday meet than
it was when the two crews hit the
lanes in Pullman.
A glance at past records reveals
that the Aqua-ducks have been
crowned ND champs five times
since the league’s inception in 1934,
while the Huskies possess six first- -
place trophies. Oregon is the only
school to win every first place in
the finals. They realized this feat
twice, once in 1937, and again in
1942. The Webfoots also annexed
a pair of Pacific Coast Conference
crowns, in 1937, and 1942.
