ed the team that, while there a ^
grudges existing between some
Oregon and OSC players, they
must be put to one side if the
Ducks are going to play winning
basketball.
Before scrimmage got underway
yesterday, Warren told his squad
that he was going to experiment
with two positions on the starting
five. The center spot, filled during
the last three games by Jim Vrani
zan, is still wide open, the head
coach said.
He also had his eye on possibil
ities for the starting guard posi
tion occupied of late by Ken
Hunt. Warren told several other
players that their shooting was
not what it should be.
In the scrimmage session which
rattled the rafters, Warren tried
out all his reserves in the two po
sitions. Against the Frosh, the
Ducks ran hard and slightly boost
ed their sagging shooting averages.
Sammy Snead
Ties Ben Hogan
Los Angeles, (UP)—Slamming
Sammy Snead shot a 66 today tc
tie Bantam Ben Hogan for first
place at the end of the scheduled
72 holes of the $15,000 Los Angeles
Open Golf Tournament.
Hogan, making one of the most
spectacular comebacks in sports
history, shot a two under par 69
in the final round to establish what
appeared to be an insurmountable
lead. Snead, starting the day
three strokes behind Hogan, was
four behind at the end of the first
nine, which he turned in 34 to
Hogan’s 33.
Snead, one of the longest hitters
in the game, got his birdie four on
the 585-yard 17th hole. He was long
off the tee on the 18th, then blast
ed an iron onto the hills beside
the 18th hole from which it drib
bled down on the green, leaving him
a 15-foot putt.
Snead studied his putt for fully
four minutes, stepped up to the
ball and tapped it in a long curve
smack into the cup.

KEN HUNT, Oregon sophomore guard, who has started several
games for the Webfoots this year, may be moving onto the bench
this Friday in the Oregon State game at Corvallis unless he sharpens
his play considerably. Coach John Warren tried several candidates
for the starting berth in Tuesday’s scrimmage.

The four-team race for the
Northern Division title doesn’t ap
pear to be duplicated among the
brother colleges in the Southern
Division.
Rather, it looks like a replica
of last year’s title race between
UCLA and SC when the cross
town foes settled the champion
ship in the last series of the sea
son. The Bruins won that one and
went on to lose to Oregon State
in the playoffs.
Last week opened conference
play for the four southern division
schools and the Trojans and Bruins
made it a bright weekend in Los
Angeles when they swept two
game series from Stanford and Cal
ifornia respectively.
BRUINS LEADERS
The defending champion Bruins,
with Johnny Wooden at the helm
have All-American candidate
George Stanich and three others
out of the standing lineup from last
year. The Bruins will be hard to
beat, and probably the only team
that can do it is Sam Berry’s Tro
jans with their great Bill Sharman.
Sharman, already the south
ern division’s second highest
scorer (Hank Lusetti holds the
record) is in for an even better
year from presen indications.
And Troy is loaded in the other
positions. Although they had a
sad night in their lone appear
ance in Madison Square Garden,
the Trojans lost only that one
game on their Eastern trip. The
Bruins also lost but one.

Gamble ND Lead
Seattle, Wash. — The amazing
University of Washington basket
ball team, sitting comfortably atop
a 12-1 season record and not so
comfortably atop the Northern
Division standings, travel to Pull
man this weekend to engage
Washington State in the first
“crucial” series of the 1950 North
ern Division race.
The Palouse invasion will mark
the first major road trip for the
Huskies, and will provide a pre
liminary answer to the question
of how Coach Art McLarney’s
young team will fare away from
home. All hut four of the Wash
ington's 13 contests have been
played at Edmundson Pavilion
w i t h t li e Huskies measuring
Sand Point Naval Air, Universi
ty of British Columbia, The Can
adian Cloverleafs and CPS on
foreign courts.
Four starting positions, accord
ing to McLarney, are set with
Duane Enochs due to open at cen
ter, Frank Guisness and Louie
Soriano at the guards and Cap
tain LaDon Henson at one for
ward. The other forward position
has expanded from a two-way
fight to a three-man battle.
Threatening to crowd both Russ
Parthemer and Hal Arnason out
of the starting line-up is non-let
terman Jack Ward, whose fine
play in the opening Vandal game
won him a first string position for
the second contest. Ward is strong
on the boards and has enough con
trol over a “line drive" push shot
; to make him a dangerous scorer
(Pleose turn to paiic eight)

By blasting St. Joseph’s of Phil
adelphia Saturday in the first game
of a doubleheader at Madison
Square Garden, the St. John’s Red
men managed to cling to the num
ber one position, in rankings in
cluding games of Monday night,
with a 13-1 slate. However, several
minor upsets caused a reshuffling
of the remainder of the top ten
hoop squads.
LONG ISLAND CLIMBS
Once-beaten Long Island U.
vaulted into second by smothering
a strong Bowling Green outfit, 66
63. The Blackbirds have won 11.
Indiana suffered its first loss
Of the season, a 69-67 defeat to
Michigan, and tumbled from
third to sixth, while unbeaten
Holy Cross (11-0), slipped to
third to make room for Long Is
land.
Perennially powerful Kentucky
rolled over Mississippi State, 87-55,
and North Carolina, 83-44, during
the week, and moved up a notch to
fourth. They were followed by
Bradley's Braves, who trampled
Georgetown Monday by a 79-39
count.
Unbeaten Duquesne, with ten
victories, was right behind Indi
ana’s Hoosiers, while North Car
olina State dropped to eighth by
losing a close 58-55 contest to
Duke. CCNY, only team holding
a decision over St. John's ad
vanced to number 9 by downing
Loyola of Chicago, 61-46, and
Cincinnati, with a perfect 6-0
ledger, was another newcomer in
tenth spot. CCNY and Cincinnati
replaced St. Louis and Missouri
in the select group.
The top record in the country at
the present time is held by little- j
known Siena of Louisville, N. Y. 1
The Indians boast 14 wins and no
setbacks but their cofnpetition does
not merit them better than 41st.
UCLA TOP COAST TEAM
UCLA remained the highest
ranked Coast aggregation, the
Bruins (10-3) are rated 18th, while
USC, tied with UCLA for the
Southern Division lead, is 28th.
Washington's Huskies, Northern
Division leaders, are 33rd, although
they may be upset at Pullman this
weekend' by Washington State,
number 52. On the record, OSC
should edge Oregon’s Ducks, but
the latter, with Paul Sowers back
in the line-up, could surprise on
Friday.
