    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.

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.
