Ducks Ready for Blackbirds Long Island Team Looks Impressive During Workout Clair Bee’s Long Island team roll ed into McArthur court yesterday and went through an impressive workout in preparation for to night's game with Oregon’s Web foots. The Ducks worked earlier, but were dressed by the time the New Yorkers arrived. The Blackbirds are carrying 17 players, their entire squad, but had to leave their trainer and manager at home. This will be their first game on a trip that will cover the country. Long Island will be the favorites in tonight’s game, boasting a height unci experience edge over the Ducks. T heir offense is built around smooth ball-handling, quick moving plays and long set shots, which is their specialty. The starting lineup Bee is ex pected to use will have Dick Feur tado, 6-feet 3-inches, Jack French, •6-feet 4-inches, and Tom Murtha, ■6-feet 6-inches in the front ilne with Sam Tolkoff and Nat Miller, both under 5-foot 10 handling the back court duties. Though Bee might well use the whole squad, Lou Lipman, the lead ing scorer, Herb Scherer, LeRoy Smith and Sherman White will def initely see action. Scherer and White both tower six inches above the six foot mark. John Warren is expected to use liis regular combination of Will.Ur ban and Jim Bartelt at the forward positions, Roger Wiley handling the pivot spot, and Johnny Neeley and Paul Sowers takinsr care of the guard posts. Also expected to see considerable action is Bob Amacher, the 6-foot 8-inch forward-center, whose height will be invaluable against the tall invaders. LIU put on quite a show during their wor kout, running through sev eral drills where the emphasis was strictly on ball-handling. They were also dropping in their long shots, mostly two-handers from behind the key, with amazing' constancy. Game time will be eight o’clock, following the preliminary game be tween the Oregon Frosli and a high ly-touted Cottage Grove five start ing at 6:15. The Ducklings will be gunning for their seventh win in eight starts.

Sc&iesi From Harvard to Hawaii ARROW WHITE SHIRTS score highest with college men year after year. Good reason, too, for Arrow's policy of finest quality, smart styling and honest value makes sense to college men. When you need a good white shirt, one that will fit well, look, wear and wash well —see your Arrow dealer. ARROW -—.
