DUCKTRACKS [ By JOHN BARTON Emerald Sports Editor Student admission prices to the Bobby Riggs tour-of-the world exhibition matches in McArthur Court on Feb. 8 will be 50 cents. Considering that fans will get to see some of the best tennis players in the world, that price is reasonable to the fullest meaning of the word. Jack Kramer, Frank Parker. Pancho Gonzales, and Pancho Segura will perform in two singles matches and a doubles match at the Igloo. Director of Athletic Infor mation Art Litchman, recent ly said that the Igloo will not be at its full capacity for the matches because the folding bleachers will be opened only partially to allow room for the tennis court. The net will run across the playing floor, so that people FRANK GUISNESS * who sit m the ‘'good” side seats and will get the usual stiff neck from watching the ball zoom back and forth. ^ Closing Hours Are No Worry Don’t worry about getting the little woman home on time, men, because the matches will not run too late, according to Litchman. If it appears that the sets will stretch out too long, one of the singles will be shortened. The singles will have to go because the doubles are to be played to full length regardless of time. The doubles matches, featuring all four of the stars, will be the- feature event of the evening, of course. Coach John Warren, back from two basketball defeats at the hands of the University of Washington, rates Frank Guisness (rhymes with size-ness) as the best defensive player to ever per form for Washington. And offensively Guisness isn’t so bad. He made 27 points Friday night, mostly from one type of shot. That “specialty” shot was made by driving in from the right side of the key hole. Guisness stands out in front, Warren said, dribbling the ball and suddenly starting and stopping in an attempt to shake his defensive man out of position. Once he has done this, he gallops at full tilt in toward the basket. Keller Best Man on Floor Saturday About five feet out, he takes off and scoops the ball up with both hands, underhand. Saturday night, Warren said yesterday, Oregon’s Jack Keller was the best man on the floor. Fie guarded Guisness and held him down to a more regular pace. That’s good work, considering that Guisness stands 6 feet, three inches tall and Keller has yet to touch his head to the 5’ 10” mark. Washington will appear in Mac Court this weekend. The two men for fans to watch are Guisness and little Louie Soriano (rhymes with Soriano). All of Washington’s scoring strength is in these two men, Warren stated. Ducks Stay Below .300 Mark Honest John bemoaned the fact that the Ducks still cannot creep above a .300 shooting average. Both nights at Seattle they came close to it, but never quite hit it. Their defensive play was all that could be expected of their abilities, Warren asserted, and their spirit, after the first half of Friday’s game, was excellent. Saturday night, Warren shifted his team to a zone defense in an effort to stop Guisness from driving in with the ball and to keep Soriano from breaking past Duane Enochs, the blocking back of the Husky team. Enochs does nothing but get the ball from his post position, turn, give the ball to the guard (Guisness or Soriano) as he scoots past, and effectively stop the defensive man from fol lowing said guard. Enochs does little shooting, except from rebounds. Anyway, the Ducks went into a zone, and let Keller get hot. For 18 minutes, Warren said, it worked well, and Oregon built up a substantial lead. Then, the Huskies discovered what was up and changed their offense. This Weekend? Hmmm . . . They pulled Enochs over to the right of the key hole and put LaDon Henson in the front of the key. Soriano and Guisness shot a few long ones and Henson tried a few jump shots. At that point, just before the end of the half, the Ducks went back into a man to-man defense. Then, of course, the Washington squad went back into its original offense and scraped up a few points in the switch. At the beginning of the next half, the Oregon defensive guards re laxed slightly and boom—Washington had a lead, which Oregon spent the rest of the game unsuccessfully trying to overcome.
