Student Manned Eugene Six Shows Good Promise OSC-Husky Crucials Coming Up OREGON STATE COL LEGE, Corvallis, Jan. 26—Twc old basketball rivals, Washing ton and Oregon State, collide ir a two-game series vital to both here Friday and S a t u r d a j nights. To stay in the northern divi sion race the defending cham CLIFF CRANDALL pion Huskies need a sweep at Cor vallis as they already have three de feats against them. But here’s where the argument comes in. Ore gon State also needs two victories to remain close on the heels of un defeated Washington State. The result probably will be an other of the typical dog-eat-dog, thrill packed Beaver-Husky series. Washington closed in on the sec ond-place Orange by edging Oregon twice at Seattle last weekend by 44-43 and 47-44 counts. This gives the Huskies three wins against three losses. Oregon State has been idle since trouncing Idaho twice the first of last week and still has a 3-1 record. Split First Series The initial series between the Beavers and Huskies was a stand off -with Slats Gill’s men winning the first, 52-50; and losing the sec ond, 54^43. Biggest problem confronting the Orange is how to stop Sam White, All-Coast Husky forward who pour ed in 28 in the first meeting of the two clubs. Another dangerous Hus ky threat is big Bill Vandenburgh. He led his mates to their twin wins over Oregon with 36 counters for two nights after scoring 21 in the first series with Oregon State. Newton Spearheads Redwings; Sport Was Vetoed by School By Jim Hoffer The Eugene Redwings, since their initial ice hockey encounter at the local arena several weeks ago, have shown the Eugene sporting public that not only is hockey a spectator sport supreme but that the team packs a wallop so necessary for a winning aggregation. Hockey is'little known in this area and it was played only informally last year with two local combina tions : the Redwings and the Oregon Quacks, which was composed com pletely Of University of Oregon stu dents. They played a good game but lacked the polish needed to draw crowds and the gate receipts prov ed this fact. School Nixed Game Several months ago the Universi ty was approached on the subject of hockey as a recognized sport and after several conferences with Ath letic Director Leo Harris it was de cided that the sport would not be a sound proposition as far as the Uni versity was concerned. This was due largely to the lack of funds set aside for an expanding program and the fact that the arena seats only 600 plus spectators, far less than would be necessary to seat students and a paying public. So instead of dropping hockey the student skaters merged with the Eugene Redwings and now make up over half the team. Good Calibre Hockey In their appearances at the local arena so far this season they have proven to consistently capacity crowds that they definitely know what the game is all about, and what with the season just getting under way they are almost assured of a financial success in the game. Since U. of O. students haven’t got a team of their own to support they have been coming out to see students play on what might be cal led a representative team from all practical angles. 1 Along this line the management of the ice arena, at the request of these student players, has agreed to admit student dates on one ticket to facilitate their seeing the boys play. Newton A Jewel ' That the Redwings are not strict ly sponsored by the University does Soph Petitions Due Students interested in working on the Emerald’s feature staff have been requested to attend a meeting tonight at 7 p. m. in the shack. n’t prevent them being representa tive of the same team that would be on the ice if the school did. This, coupled with the fact that the boys are playing a flashy brand of hock ey, makes things pretty appetizing. The standout player is Roger Newton, for already this season he has tallied three goals in one game for the coveted “hat trick” and his form is excellent. Other players to watch include John Qlson, hard driving center; Frank Sauer, fast skating wizard at stick-handling; Ed Worth, Bill Wall, and Dick Runyard, rugged de fensemen; Don Severson, another front line ace; and Jim Hoffer, goal ie. Sprinkling of Canadians To complete the roster add town ies Tom Ferris, Dick and Tommy Gillespie, who make up one line and are all ex-Canadians; Gene Thies sen, the team’s smallest player and a speed-demon on skates; Bob Pot ter, another sturdy defenseman; and high-schooler Joe Worth, who can keep up with the best of them. The Redwings skate on local ice as members of the Oregon Hockey League every Sunday night at 8 and believe m# they present a ’show which must be seen to be fully ap preciated.

Bergstrom Stroms The second half was a horse of a different color, however, as Me Chesney, the only undefeated dorm team, fast broke the lawyers into submission. Bert Bergstrom was the big gun in the dormer’s attack and his dazz ling tip-ins and phenomenal shoot ing netted him 13 points. Reynolds also got 13 for the Eagles. The Beta B’s had things a little easier against Cherney Hall and rang up a 13-1 halftime margin. Beta Dominates The second half was almost a re peat performance as the Mill Race lads controlled both backboards and dominated scoring again. Dale Brueger was the leader in the winner’s attack, playing a fine floor game and scoring more than his share of points. Don Schade and Frank Loennig carried the Cherney scoring burden with one point apiece. Phi Kapps Roll The Phi Kapp B’s, inspired by Jim Cassell and Tom Juza, roared into a 12-7 lead at the rest stop but apparently used up all of their point-producing prowess in that half as they managed but three points to Nestor’s one in the third and fourth periods. Cassell sank 6 points for Phi Kap pa Sigma while Pat Hanna kept the Vets dormer’s offense in motion.
