Ducks Bent on Sidetracking OSC
As Cage Season Draws to Climax;
Wiley Averages 14.8 |Per Game
Big Oregon Center
Sinks 413 Tallies;
Two Beavers Ailing
Pointing towards wins in
their final two games of the
year, John Warren's Varsity
cagers went through a long
drill vesterdav. The Web
foots face ()regon State College,
the Northern Division leaders,
here Friday night and are at Cor
vallis Saturday night.
The Beavers will be a little be
low top strength, with Reserve
Forward Glen Kinney out for the
rest of the season with a broken
ankle suffered last Saturday in
Corvallis.
The top Orange star, Cliff Cran
dall, has been ailing with a cold but
is expected to be ready on Friday.
OREGON STATE will be primed
to take the opener on Friday and
sew up the title. They need only
one more win to mathematically
eliminate second-place Washington
State.
Oregon’s Webfoots came through
the weekend without any injuries.
They also will be primed to win
both nights and duplicate their per
formance of last year when they
took three out of four games from
Slats Gill’s boys and threw the ti
tle into a playoff.
BOTH QUINTS will be relying
or their leaders to pace them to
victory. The Webfoot hopes will de
pend upon Roger Wiley, the top
point-maker of the loop. Oregon
State will be led by Crandall, who,
like Wiley, is almost a cinch All
Northern Division choice.
Wiley is far and away the Duck
scoring' leader for the full season,
having dropped in 413 tallies in 28
games for a 14.8 average. His field
goal average is .406.

Louis Vacates Throne
To Go into Promoting
MIAMI BEACH, Kla., Marcil 1—
(AP)—Joe Louis resigned as unde
feated World Heavyweight Boxing
Champion tonight to become a
fight promoter.
The Alabama-born Negro who
lias held the Heavyweight Crown
longer, and defended it more often,
than any man in boxing history
made his formal resignation by
letter to the National Boxing Com
mission.
He asked for and received NBA
permission to promote a match be
tween Ezzard Charles and Jersey
Joe Walcott in June for the NBA
recognized world’s heavyweight
title.
Louis’ resignation was submitted
to NBA Commissioner Abe J.
Greene, of Paterson, N, J., visiting
here, and Flamen D. Adae, NBA
President, of Miami Beach.
A new fight promotion alliance
with Arthur M. Wirtz, James D.
Norris, owners of the Chicago Sta
dium, and Louis sharing equal
ownership was formed.

Thinclads galore, some 70 of
them, answered Coach Bill
Bowerman’s first call for the
'49 track season, and the boys
have been busy whipping them
selves into shape out on the
oval during the past several days.
LOOMING AS ACE performers
on the varsity are such worthies
as Dave Henthorne and Bob Web
ber in the sprints, 880 man Pete
Mundle, Hurdler Jack Doyle, Ray
Heidenrich, discus; Lou Robinson,
javelin; and George Rasmussen and
Don Pickens in the pole vault.
The Varsity season opens April 9
against OSC at Corvallis.
Chuck Missfeldt, who shattered
all kinds of javelin records in high
school, and Jack Hutchins, who
represented Canada in the Olympic
games look the best bets on the
Frosh squad.
BOWERMAN MADE IT plain
that the gates are still wide open
to those who would like to come
out.
In his opinion, there are a flock of
boys around campus who were pret
ty good in high school and who
could develop into good college men.

Ducks buckle down to business
this week as Don Kirsch hopes
to get his charges in shape as
quick as possible before break
ing the seal on the coining cam

IT PROBABLY WILL be a full
diet of pepper games, etc. for the
boys, all of whom, with the excep
tion of the pitchers and catchers,
are just hauling out the ol’ horse
hide.
Battery men have been going
through their paces for the past
several days.
Duck prospects look like they
are on the upswing. For pitchers
Kirsch has Norm Henwood, Dick
DeBernardi, Dewayne Johnson and
Homer Brobst as returnees!"
OTHER VETERAN performers
ready to bolster the Ducks are
Dick Bartle at first base, Walt
Kirsch at second, A1 Cohen at short
stop, Don Kimball at third, and
John Kovenz, Hal Zurcher, Pat
