Webfoot Prepare For Dons Series Oregon’s Webfoots will go through only light warmup drills this afternoon, resting up before their weekend series with the University of San Francisco. Yesterday John Warren sent his cagers through a regular session, complete with scrimmage. The Webfoots will have to be sharp to beat the highly-rated Dons. The San Francisco squad emphasizes ball control and de fense, and have the ball in their possession through most of their Cage Playoff Foes Selected Today All houses which have teams en tering the intramural basketball championship playoff must have a representative at a meeting set for 9 this morning in Room 143, PE building. “Opponents in the playoff will be determined," Jim Vitti, intramural sports manager said, “therefore it is imperative that each team be represented.” Houses already holding berths in the championship round are Mc Chesney hall, Delta Tau Delta, Lambda, Chi Alpha, Sigma Chi, Phi '.Delta Theta, Fizzeds, Sigma Alpha Mu, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Kappa Sigma, and Beta Theta Pi.

The Ducks, despite 6-foot 8 inch Roger Wiley, will be up against a taller front line. Both center Joe McNamee and for ward Don Lofgran are 6-feet 6 inches and the third man up front, forward John Benington, is 6-feet 3, the same height as Will Urban, second tallest Webfoot regular. Besides height, USF boasts plen ty of speed at the guard posts, where Rene Herrerias and Frank Kuzara will open. Kuzara will be moving into a regular guard spot this year, taking over for Ross Guidice on his fine showing in the last few games. Guidice is expected to see plenty of action tomorrow night, however. He is a valuable man, and was the top scorer on the club last season. The Dons will have most of their height in their starting five, with only 6-foot 9-inch Walter Olson in the towering class among the re serves. Olson has only appeared in four of San Francisco’s games so far this year, however, and will probably see little action over the weekend. Warren plans to use his regular lineup with Jim Bartelt joining Wil ey and Urban in the front line and Paul Sowers and Johnny Neeley at the guard posts. Neeley is back in! top shape and has looked very good in practice this week. His return to regular duty will strengthen the lineup.

Dick Stoinoff defeated Jack Don ald 21-9 and 21-6 in the first sin gles while Lyle Rogers drubbed Dick Daugherty 21-6 and 21-1 in the second matches. In the doubles. Ed Chrobat and Bob Harrion walloped Has Haight and Abe Johnson 21-1 and 21-2 to complete the shutout. Two Upsets Mark Intramural Action Two upsets highlighted intra mural hoop action yesterday as Phi Kappa Sigma dumped the league leading Betas from the undefeated list 13-11, and Nestor hall turned the tables on the Legal Eagles 20 12. Phi Kappa Sigma A beat Omega hall 16-8. Starting from the opening horn. Phi Kappa Sigma “B” squad kept its playoff hopes alive by bursting into an early lead that was never headed as they handed the Betas their first setback of the season. . Beta Drive Led by Will Larson, the Phi Kapps moved away to a 7-to-2 edge in the first quarter. Then a gradual Beta drive during the next two frames brought the count up to 12 ! 11 at the start of the final canto. Dale Bruegger, Beta forward, missed a free throw in the dying moments of play which would' have knotted tha score before Larson added the final point of the game. If the Phi Kapps win their Fri day afternoon game with Sigma Phi Epsilon, they will be tied with the Betas for the playoff berth. Upset Dope Bucket Nestor hall also upset the dope bucket as it posted a decisive eight point win over the previously once beaten Legal Eagles. Guided by Pat Hanna who pushed in nine points, the vets dorm five faltered only once and allowed the Lawyers to climb to within two points of the command as the third quarter ended 11-9. Then the Nestor team loosed a fast break which baf fled the Eagles and forced the lat ter into a man-to-man defense. The loss killed all Lawyer hopes for a playoff berth built up by the Beta defeat by the Phi Kapps. Phi Kappa Sigma “A” lacked the scoring punch it exhibited in its last game when it applied a 75-to-0 whitewashing to Hunter hall, but had little difficulty handing Omega hall a 16-to-8 trimming. However the Straubmen kept the score and the game hanging in the balance for three quarters before Bill Lyons started feeding Bill Juza on fast breaks to put the game out of danger.
