DUCK TRACKS By DON FAIR The Kdnnmdson pavilion jinx held again for the Webfoot cagers over the weekend. Not since 1946, when Oregon defeated Washington 49-48 on Dick Wilkins’ last-second shot, has the Duck quint been able to measure the Huskies in Seattle. Those were a pair of tough ballgames for John Warren’s crew to lost, but in the oast two seasons of conference olav. the Oregon mentor must be becoming acclimated to los ing close decisions. Currently Warren’s northern division record is 11 victories and 13 setbacks, with 10 of those de feats by five points or less! That’s enough to shake any coach’s faith in getting his share of the breaks. In the past two campaigns, the Webfoots have lost three one-pointers — 44-43 to Wash ington and 66-65, 60-59 to WS C; and one two-pointer—62-60 ART McLARNEY to the Cougars; four three-pointers—55-52 to Idaho, 47-44 to Washington, and 46-43, 43-40 to WSC; one four-pointer—48-44 to Washington; and a lone five-pointer 50-45 to Oregon State. Have Won Only Four Close Tilts The other three defeats were by 8, 15, and 17 point margins. In contrast, Oregon has been on the long end of only four close triumphs. The question now is, when does the pendulum swing our way ? By virtue of the triumphs, Art McLarney’s Huskies keep aliye their title chances. Much credit is due, in part at least, to Click Clark, the Washington trainer, who had All-American candidate Sammy White in fighting trim for the contest. Although bambo, as he is anectionateiy toasted around the Puget Sound area, was in good shape, it was Husky captain Bill Vandenburgh who took the fair-haired boy laurels for the series. Always a hard worker and a plugger, Vandy hit 36 points for the two evenings. Usually in the shadow of White’s exploits, Vandenburgh, according to Athletic Director Aft Lichtman, “played some of the best ball of his career.” Although White hit only 2 for IS for the first night, he found his eye in the second contest, and made one shot of his phenom enal variety. It consisted of three fakes and then a successful shot, all this time while he was in mid-air. Just another demon stration of his floating power. The unknown who Broke up the first game, Keith Jefferson, is a skinny left-hander, but is a con tinual hustler. He’ll make a good spot later, this season, for the McLarneymen. Edmundson Pavilion Has No Heating Facilities Since the cold weather is a timely topic, that naturally leads to the fact that Edmundson pavilion has no heating facilities. In stead the heat from the crowd attending is depended upon to warm up the gymnasium. Because attendance was off, the result was that the first half of each game was played in uncomfortable temperatures. The Webfoots sided right in with the weather, when it came to shooting averages. The Ducks connected on 32 of 158 at tempts for 20 per cent. In free throws too, Oregon had its worst series to-date, converting 21 of 39 charities. Take the case-and-point of two of the Webfoots’ more con sistent scorers, John Neeley and Paul Sowers. Previously neel ey had 17 field goals in 33 shots, and hit only 2 for 24 in Seattle. Sowers boasted 20 of 57, but clicked on a mere 5 of 44 against Washington. Never before and not likely again will these two fall prey to such disheartening evenings. Only man not to be effected by the conditions was Roger Wiley. Hot Dog bucketed 33 markers, including the last 14 which the Webfoots made the second night. The Huskies were n’t making it any easier for him either, since Vandenburgh was checking the big boy all over the floor, including back-court. Will Urban and a newcomer Dale Warburg also found the scenery to their liking. Urban was hitting his shots, and playing tough on the boards in his fast-coming fashion. Warberg show ed his worth the second night, also scrapping for those precious rebounds, and caging a couple of tip-ins. Wisconsin Selecfs Williamson MILWAUKEE, Jan 24—(AP)— The University of Wisconsin picked Ivan (Red) Williamson of Lafayette for its head football coach today and it assured him he'll be running his own show in the stormy post vacated by Harry Stuhldreher. Williamson, who is in the second year of a three year contract at the Easton, Pa., school, was named I at a special meeting of the board ! of regents. He is to report at Madi son Feb. 1. St. Louis Retains Ranking as Top Five in Country NEW YORK, Jan. 24—(AP) — Despite their loss to Oklahoma A & M, St. Louis’ Billikens still are regarded as the top collegiate cag ers in the country by the nation’s sportswriters and sportscasters.

They missed by three seconds. It is early in the season and there is still the possibility of this team eclipsing the performance of other Oregon Relay teams before too long. The final race of the day was a recently added event this year to ND Swimming, the Individual Med ley. Each swimmer swims one third of the distance in a different stroke. Walter and Hargraves for the Ducks faced Van Etten and Fuegy. Although the Beavers were counting on this event for their first place, they were denied again as before by the efforts of Walter, who swam an easy race and outdis tanced the field. The event however was a fine one as, Hargraves of Ore gon was trying to take away any seconds from the Beavers and al most did.
