IAMJIS SOHIANO, chunky Washington guard who aided in the double drubbing given Oregon at Seattle last Friday and Saturday. jLoule and fellow guard Frank Guisness are two good reasons why Arl McLarney’s crew now leads the Northern Division. Can Oregon stop them this weekend? Dogs Drop Drab Ducks Webfoots Near Cellar Art Mcl.arnev's amazing Huskies continued to run through ihe Northern Division, as they buried Oregon last weekend in a pair of basketball games at Seattle. Oregon’s John Warren tried every trick at his command in an effort to stop Washington, but it was like trying to plug a leak m a dike with a cork. On Friday it was a platoon system, and a new starting guard, llal Webb. Saturday. Warren tried a zone defense, both maneuvers bothered Washington only for a short while. The plav of the Huskies (now 15-2) was of division champ jonship caliber. They hit from the floor with a variety of set and jump .shots. On Friday night Frank Guis i.ess displayed a driving, jumping, underhand shot that aided him in collecting 9 of 12 shots from the field. In addition, he made 9 for 9 at the free throw line. HUSKY GUARDS SHINE Louis Soriano, Keith Jefferson, ami Marcus Metzger, all performed well at their guard posts, Soriano, frequent high point man for his club, was hampered on Friday by a couple of quick fouls. He was forced to spend much time on the bench. Kn the pinch, his replacement, Jef ferson took up the slack. Balance Lke this has aided Washington all season. The fine play of Washington's guards concealed the fact that Ore gon was able to keep the front line of the Huskies under reasonable check. Jim Vranizan, the steadily improving Webfoot pivot man did a fine job in checking Duane En tails, the Seattle squad's tall boy. Of little consolation to Webfoot supporters was the activity of Will Urban and Jack Keller. These two boys who have shown the raw es sentials that may some day make them top basketball players ,led the Oregon attack. On Friday night it was the tall, scrappy Urban pac ing his teammates, while little sharpshooting Keller found his eye on Friday night, and retained it throughout the series. Keller came into Friday night’s game when the decision to start Webb proved fu tile. Paul Sowers, ace of the Orogons in earlier competition, continued to be bothered by his back. Reports from Seattle mentioned that it was back trouble that caused him to travel, breaking up several Oregon thrusts. The rest of the Eugene squad just didn't have it. The two teams will meet again this Friday and Saturday in Eu gene at McArthur court.
