outcome of the sudden-death
struggle. A preliminary contest at
6:15 features the Frosh against
Klamath Falls.
This fourth and final Civil War
hoop warfare of the season is a
sellout, and no general admission
tickets will be sold at the gates.
Washington, by virtue of their
triumph over Idaho last night,
must beat the Vandals again to
night. If this happens, and the
Webfoots upset the Aggie pennant
dreams, the league race will be
thrown into a two-way tie between
the Huskies and Oregon State,
both with 10 wins and 6 defeats.
Cagers Still Sick
What chances the Ducks had at
stopping the Beavers received a
severe jolt, when several key mem
bers of the Lemon-and-Green
quint fell victim to the dysentery
bug. Because of this, Oregon coach
John Warren could give no definite
starting lineup, depending upon
who is on his feet when game time
rolls around.
Yesterday two Webfoot maple
performers, Roger Wiley and Dick
Wilkins, were released from the in
firmary. Bob Lavey is still down,
and his status, along with Wilkins’,
all hinges on how the two men re
cuperate within the next 12 hours.
Providing Wilkins is ready to
open tonight, the Oregon lineup
will look something like this—Wil
kins and Bob Amacher, forwards;
Wiley, center; and Stan William
son and A1 Popick, guards.
Last Game for Seniors
Tonight will also mark the last
appearance on the McArthur hard
wood for Reedy Berg, Popick, Wil
liamson, and Wilkins.All are three
year lettermen except Popick, who
has two Yellow' O's to his credit.
Going into the Mason-Dixon
clash, the Oregon five has a two
one edge in this year’s rivalry. The
Ducks captured the initial bout 42
41 at Corvallis, and added a 58-54
verdict over the Orangemen, be
fore losing to Slats Gill's gang, 50
45.
The Aggies have been holding
intensive drills this w'eek in prep- i
aration for the game, with the Gill
men relying on a starting quint of
Cliff Crandall and Alex Peterson,
forwards; Len Rinearson, center;
and Dick Ballantyne and Norm
Carey, guards.
Boasting the best shooting per
centage in the nation, the Aggies
are a bunch of ball-haw'king, yet
plenty fast cagers. From the free
throw lanes, the Beavers also have I
a highly respectable average. To
counter this, the Webfoots will j
have to turn in a strictly blue-chip'
contest to nab the verdict.
Reliable Reedy
Reedy Berg should see plenty of action tonight in the last Civil-War
battle between the Beavers and the Bucks. Berg will claim his fourth
and last varsity “O” this year.

A1 Popick is ticketed for the other guard post tonight against the
Orange. A three year veteran, Popick •will also see his last collegiate
action this evening. He is a big cog in the Oregon defensive game.
