Oregon State Downs Vandals 69-53
Beavers Fight Back
To Take Two-Game
Conference Sweep
CORVALLIS, Ore., Jan. 18
(AP) — Oregon State fought
from behind in the second half
to defeat the University of Ida
ho, 69 to S3, and win both games
of a Northern Division, Pacific
Coast Basketball Conference
series here.
It was the fourth straight loss for
Idaho since entering Oregon last
week to meet two conference rivals.
The Vandals lost both games
against Oregon last week and then
two more here.
Coach Slats Gill’s substitution of
Big Alex Peterson as the second
Iralf opened was the spark that set
off an Oregon State drive. It put
the Beavers far enough in front
that the Vandals never caught up.
Peterson banged in a goal within
one minute and in the next six min
utes had added four more while
team mates Glen Kinney and Dick
Ballantyne were helping.

Cassill Opposes
Pre-Season PCC
Cage Tourney
SEATTLE, Jan. 18 (AP) — The
pre-season coast conference basket
ball tournament, held last month at
San Francisco, is not likely to be
come an annual event, Harvey Cas
sill said tonight.
The University of Washington
Athletic Director said the tourney,
in which all conference teams ex
cept Idaho took part, probably
would not be held next Winter.
“Personally I am opposed to an
annual tourney of that kind,” Cas
sill said, “and no decision was made
by the conference at its winter
meeting."
Utah Won't Seek
To Join Ranks
Of Pacific Coast
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 18 (AP)
President A. Ray Olpin of the Uni
versity of Utah told a meeting- of
student body leaders today Utah
has not applied for admission to the
Pacific Coast Conference.
“Moreover," he said, “we don’t
contemplate making any applica
tion.” .
The question was raised after
publication last week of a sports
column in the Chronicle, student
newspaper, urging that Utah join
the Coast Conference. The column
said Utah found little competition
in the Skyline Six, of which it is
now a member.
I
Prep for Weekend
Series in Seattle
With Washington
Oregon’s varsity cagers got
down to serious work yester
day, following a light workout
Monday. John Warren sent his
squad through a long practice
session to ready them for the
two game series in Seattle this
weekend against Art McLar
ney’s Huskies.
This will be the Webfoots last
road trip, except for the short
jaunts to Corvallis later in the sea
son to meet Oregon State. The trip
could mean the difference between
a good year and a so-so one.
The Washington hoopsters, de
spite an unimpressive one won,
three lost record in the Northern Di
vision, will be tough on their home
floor, especially if All-Coast Sammy
White is ready to go.
1111(7 il. *»
The tricky forward sprained his
ankle last weekend in Pullman,
where the Huskies dropped two
games to the current leaders, Wash
ington State.
McLarney will have his quint in a
fighting mood after the Cougar ser
ies and the ensuing drop in confer
?nce standings. Washington needs
at least an even split in the series
and will be hoping for a sweep.
Warren feels that liis new-found
combination, that worked so effec
tively against Idaho, can pull in at
least one game and if the Ducks get
some breaks, might get both.
The Webfoot mentor felt that one
of the biggest factors would be
White. If he is ready to go, the Hus
kies will be twice as effective.
Lineup Set
Warren is tentatively planning on
using his regular lineup of Jim
Bartelt and Will Urban at forward,
Roger Wiley at center, and Paul
Sowers and John Neeley at guard.
Reserve strength will be in better
shape with Bob Amacher available
to relieve Wiley when the big pivot
man gets tired.
Almost certain to miss the trip,
however, will be another reserve
center, Jerry Switzer. The 6-foot
4-iiicli southpaw left yesterday af
ternoon for Oakland by plane after
receiving word that his'father had
died. The ev-Uni versify High star
has been playing on the second unit.
The Webfoots plan to leave Eu
gene Thursday and rest up in Seat
tle the day of the opening game.
The games will be played in Ed
