I Oregon^ Emerald SPORTS Don Fair, Fred Taylor, Co-Sports Editors | Frosh Leave Eugene Minus Key Players; Pirate Game at 7:30 With the loss of two starting players a near certainty. Coach Carl Heldt’s Frosh basketball team will leave for Coos Bay at 8 this morning, and will tip off with the Marshfield high Pirates tonight at 7:30. Jack Keller and Will Urban are the players in question, since they were both called to Portland because of illness in their families. It is doubtful whether they will return in time to make the trip.

The Yearlings ran through a light practice session yesterday af ternoon, the two new starters working with the three regulars. Heldt stressed offensive play in the workout.
