Three “B" quints registered
notches in the win belt in Monday
IM hoop play: Sigma Alpha Mu,
Hunter, and Cherney.
The Sammies took a 16-12 win
over Phi Kappa Psi although the
outcome was in doubt until the last
few seconds of the game. The 9-7
half-time score favored the win
ners. Burton Gevurtz and Marvin
Brenner scored four points each for
the winners as did Pin i si roi
\vard John Locke.
Hunter doubled the score in spik
ing Sherry Ross 16-8. .At half-time
they were ahead 10-5. Don Botte
miller poured in five points for the
winners. Dick Whittaker and Brian
Teller registered four points to the
cause.
Cherney ran to a 18-10 win over
Sederstrom. Ron Sogge scored all
ten points for the losers but the
combined efforts of Bob Steib and
Bill Johnson, who tallied seven
apiece, was too much of a point
accumulation to stop. The losers led
4-3 at half-time.

National Cage Ratings
By MARTIN MEADOWS
The nation’s only major unbeat
en basketball squad, the Holy
‘Cross Crusaders, maintained their
grip on first place in this week’s
rating's as the schedule dished up
one of the busiest weeks of the
season. _
The Crusaders won three tilts to
run their streak to 17 straight
conquests. They tripped Spring
field, 62-49, edged Loyola of Chi
cago, 53-48, and smothered Brown,
83-39. Meanwhile, Duquesne and
St. Bonaventure . both dropped
their first games to leave Holy
Cross alone at the top.
Long Island U. stayed in second
place as they whipped Equitable
Life, 82-66, while St. John’s ad
vanced one to third by rolling over
Manhattan, 82-52, and Temple,
75-61. The Redmen now have an
18-2 record.
Bradley Number Four
Fourth spot was held by Brad
ley U., which picked up an 84-48
triumph from Pittsburgh for its
18th win against three losses.
Down two notches, in the num
ber five slot, came Duquesne. The
Dukes balanced their 64-58 set
back to Louisville by subduing
Cincinnati, 60-54, and Baldwin
Wallace, 78-55, for their 16th and
17t,h wins.

Statistics Dont' Lie
They Only Can Fib
Among the reams of statistics
sent in each week concerning Nor
thern Division basketball scoring
are some interesting items that are
often left out because of lack of
space. Only when there are little
white spots to fill can we let you
know that:
Top man in field goal percentage
is Gene Conley of WSC. His team
mate Ted Tappe is third. Louie
Soriano, Washington’s sharpshoot
ing guard, stands between them.
Soriano’s average is .353, while
the Cougars are shooting at .447
and .345 respectively.
Oregon's Jack Keller is the most
deadly man at the free throw line.
He has converted 20 while missing
three for a .870 percentage. Wash
ington’s other deadeye guard.
Prank Guisness, has a .852 score
with 41 gifters and only seven
misses.

smashed Furman by a 74-38 mar
gin.
The Big Nine leaders, the Ohio
State Buckeyes, boosted them
selves into eighth as they recorded
a 59-52 triumph over Purdue and
followed with a decisive 61-47
score over a good Wisconsin team.
CCNY held ninth by blasting
Boston College, 64-56, and Prince
ton, 56-46. The Beavers boast a
12-2 mark.
Kentucky Returns
Back in the top ten after miss
ing a week were the Kentucky
Wildcats, who replaced Kansas
State, which split a pair of con
tests. The touring Kentuckians
chalked up three victories over
hopped-up opposition. They eased
by Vanderbilt, 58-54, managed to
squeak past Alabama by a 66-64
margin, and hung up a narrow
61-55 win over Mississippi.
The first teams to hit the 20
victory mark were Louisville and
Hamline. Both reached that record
last week, with Louisville doing it
the hard way by pulling a mild up
set over Duquesne.
All in all, the first ten squads
registered 19 wins in 20 games
during the week. However, this
week’s schedule should provide
several upsets. Some of the con
tests include Bradley-DePaul, Holy
Cross-Rhode Island State, Indiana
Ohio State, Kansas State- Missou

Frosh Defense
Strengthened for
Rook's Invasion
“We will be playing a team
which has improved greatly since
we last met them when they beat
us 40-34, so we will be out to
avenge that defeat. It should be
a great ball game.”
Thus commented Coach Don
Kirsch when quizzed as to the
chances of his Oregon Frosh bas
ketball squad in their game to
night against the Oregon State
Rooks.
He added, “In that last game the
Rooks had the ball about 70 per
cent of the time, but our defensive
work has improved so that I’m
sure that it will be different to
night.”
Coach Kirsch plans to initiate a
“two-platoon” system. The start
ing five will consist of Barclay and
Livesay at forwards, Bonneman
at center, and Covey and Schmer
at the guards. They will be relieved
by another quintet composed of
Mickey and Johnson at the for
wards, Noe at center, and Con
chetti and Sherman holding down
the guard posts.
The Rooks, who are mentored
by Coach Paul Valenti, have split
contests with the Ducklings in
their two previous clashes this sea
son and will be out to prove their
superiority in this, the “rubber”
game. The meeting is scheduled
for 8:00 p.m. in McArthur Court.
PULLMAN, Feb. 6— (UP)—With big Ed Gayda leading the
wav the Washington State' basketball team came back from a
nine-point halftime deficit to win a dramatic 52 to 51 Northern
n;vision tilt from Oregon here tonight.
Parker Winning
With New Style
Of Tennis Play
By FRED TAYLOR
Doors at McArthur Court open
at 7 p.m. Wednesday night for the
professional tennis exhibition
matches, and students may pur
chase tickets anytime today or to
morrow to insure early admit
tance.
A large crowd is expected to be
on hand for the matches, Athletic
Director Leo Harris said Monday,
with sizable lines at the ticket
windows. Harris advised students
who were able to do so to pur
chase their ducats before match
time.
One of the stars of the featured
quartet of the exhibition—along
with Jack Kramer, Pancho Gon
zales, and Francisco Segura—is
Frankie Parker, former U. S.
singles champion and a top tennis
player for 16 years.
Parker, the oldest member of the
playing troupe at 34, won his first
national title, the U. S. Boys’
Championship, at the age of 15.
From then on Parker has been
FRANKIE PARKER
battling around the top ot the
amateur tennis heap.
Ranking among the first ten
rated amateurs for 16 years, Par
ker also numbers the U. S. Singles
Championship among his honors,
having captured the title twice, in
1944 and 1945.
Parker has been rated the most
flawless player of the present time.
Frank worked from the baseline in
his game, depending upon stamina
and steadiness rather than on the
more risky all-court game and net
attack for his points.
But since 1947, when Parker lost
to Jack Kramer at Forest Hills, its
been a new Parker on the courts.
In that year Kramer defeated
Frank in the most bitterly con
tested five-set final ever seen on
those courts.

Gadya scored lb points, au in the
last half, to help the Cougars
stretch their ND lead to a full game
over Washington.
WSC grabbed a two-point lead
15 seconds after the game started
but the Webfoots swept to a 16 to
6 lead after 10 minutes. The Wash
ington State team, including Gay
da, was alarmingly off in its shots
in the first half, making only 4, out
of 35 for an 11.4 percent average.
Oregon led, 26 to 17 at halftime.
The Cougars began to hit their
shots in halftime but the Webfoots
were doing likewise and with three
minutes left held a 50 to 41 mar
gin.
Then Gayda and company went
to work. Leon Mangis scored a free
throw, Bob Gambold got a field
goal and Gayda dumped in two
field goals and a free throw. A free
throw by Mel Krause of Oregon
left the score 52 for 51 for Wash
ington State. The Cougars froze
the ball the remaining 15 seconds.
Gayda’s 16 points were high for
the game. Krause was next with 14
and WSC’s Sophomore Center,
Gene Conley, scored 13.
The two teams meet here again
tonight.

WSC Touts
Frosh Star
Two and three year lettermen at
Washington State College are as
rare as jewels.
A tall, blond, heavy set frosh
athlete from the small town of
Wickersham looms as a successor
to such present day Cougar tri
sports stars as Fran Polsfoot,
Montesano, and Frank Mataya of
Roslyn.
Eighteen year old Don Stein
brunner, already a frosh numeral
winner in football, a definite award
winner in basketball, looms as a
prospective candidate for Jack
Mooberry’s track and field teams.
The Wickersham athlete first
brought recognition to himself for
his brilliant line play on the Dan
Stavely coached Coubabe football
team. Hard vicious blocking and
tackling distinguished him from
his frosh teammates, and set him
aside as definite Washington State
varsity material.
