Webfoots Win Sixth Game in 'Magic' Igloo Oregon’s Ducks completed1 their season this weekend in the same style they have shown since it be gan last December in Salt Lake City. The Webfoots dropped the game away from home, 42-51, to Oregon State, and came back to win their home game from the Aggies 45-40. Oregon lost every game played on the road in the 1949-50 season. At home, the Webfoots won six Northern Division games and lost only two. Those defeats were at the hands of Washington State and Idaho in McArthur Court. In the weekend clashes with OSC, the magic of the home floor paid off Saturday night to make the Ducks settle down, stop running hard at the right time, and shoot a .311 percentage, which was good enough to beat Oregon State’s .291. Fans Treated to Shows Neither game in the weekend set provided good basketball, but both gave the fans plenty of thrills, and Saturday’s was particularly rich with spills. Saturday night, when Oregon won, the Ducks got off to a good start, potting eight points before the Beavers could get a field goal. Mel Krause became burning hot in those first minutes to hold at one time a record of four field goals for six tries while the Oregon team was building up a lead. And then, just as fast and they bad leaped ahead from the start, the Ducks collapsed- With 10 min utes of the first half gone, the score lead 19-9 for Oregon. Oregon State caught fire., Ore gon went for 7'/a minutes without a point. By the time Ken Hunt fin ally sank a one-hander for the Ducks, OSC had been playing ball for about eight minutes and the score was 25-21 in favor of the Or ange. Will Urban got one free throw to make it 25-22 for OSC and the two teams retired for half-time resting and instruction. Urban scored 10 of bis 14 points on gift shots Satur day night to be top Oregon scorer. Krause followed with 12. In that first half, Oregon shot a .291 plrcentage, while Oregon State (Please hint to paae five) are you an Envelope hunter? A Do you write letters and then wonder what to mad them in?

But Leo Declares '51 Battle Here Oregon State College Officials announced Saturday that the Nov. 25, 1950, OSC-Oregon football game will be played in Portland's Mult nomah Stadium instead of Bell Field at Corvallis. At the same time, University of Oregon Athletic Director Leo Har ris said that Oregon plans no changes in the Oregon-OSC game for 1951, which is scheduled for Hayward Field in Eugene. Indications from Corvallis are that the shift to Portland for next fall’s “big” game will allow a big ger crowd and thereby increase the revenue. Work on Multnomah Stadium this summer is supposed to increase its capacity to around 36,000 spec tators. Bell Field will not hold more than 20,000 even with tem porary bleachers. To even the home game list for Bell Field, Oregon State officials plan to move this fall’s Oregon State-Stanford game from Port land to Corvallis, according to some OSC circles. The rumor that the Duck-Beaver game would be shifted next fall has been ciruclating between Eu gene and Corvallis since Christmas. There has been no talk, however, of making Portland the permanent site for the game. In light of the present out dated condition of Bell Field, state of ficials may make moves in the near future to tear down the old struc ture and erect a modern concrete football plant. However, this might raise opposition from some quart ers, where it is thought the recent construction of Gill Coluseum for OSC basketball is enough for the Corvallis school for now. Nishimoto Sets Record; Huskies Set Two And Win Oregon’s Joe Nishimoto cracked a Northern Division 200 yard breast stroke record Saturday, but his win couldn’t stop the University of Washington swim team from rolling over the Water Webfoots, 59-25. Nishimoto's new record of 2 :24.7 in the breast stroke knocked out the old mark of jack Dallas (Oregon, 1939) by 1 9-10 seconds.

Frosh Whip Klamath for 18-1 Season Record; Chet Noe Topples 1936 Frosh Scoring Mark By Jack Landrail Oregon’s Frosh basketeers Sat urday night walloped Klamath Falls high school, 70-27, to conclude their best season in many years. Individually, center Chet Noe hauled in well-deserved laurels for himself. He has scored more points in the 16-game campaign than any other yearling eager in the history of the University. The Ducklings claim a record for the year of 18 wins against only one setback, which is the top perform ance of any Oregon freshman squad with the exception of the famous 1938 team which was undefeated in 17 games. Noe, sky-reaching 6 foot. 7 inch pivot man, had rung up 202 mark ers prior to Saturday's fray, and needed 17 more to tie the record of 219 set by Laddie Gale during a 20 game season in 1936. He hit for 12 in the first half and 11 more in the second period, for a total of 23 for | the game. This broke the previous 1 record and established a new mark of 225 points. The feat was even more remark able in that his 11 field goals were j garnered on only 11 attempted | shots. Game F.von Until . . . Getting back tb the game itself, both teams battled on even terms for the first few minutes of play to a 4-all tie. However, the Ducklings suddenly got steamed up and had pulled away to a 36-16 lead when the halftime intermission sounded. During the second half Frosh Coach Don Kirsch cleared his bench of players, as did the Klamath men ter, Paul McCall, but the final out come was never in doubt. A supreme example of the Frosli defense, which has been very poor at times during the season, was shown in the third quarter when the Kirschmen rang the scoring-bell 18 times while holding the Pelicans to 2 points. Frosh Accurate Another department in which the Oregons showed vast improvement over previous performances was on the free throw line. In the past few tills in particular they have been unable to convert charity tosses with any degree of consistency, but against Klamath, the Frosh drop ped in 12 out of 14 chances. The clash was also outstanding from the point of view of personal fouls. The Frosh were whistled down only 12 times, with no more than two fouls being charged to any individual. The prepsters were cal- | led for 14 infractions, which were | similarly spread out. Noe was high point man for the Ducklings, followed by Bud Covey with S. Curt Barclary with 7, and another 6 foot, 7 inch lad, Hank Bonnemann, with 6. Tom Schubert paced his Klamath mates with 9 tallies.

Washington’s relays teams set new marks in both the 300-yard medley and the 400-yard freestyle. Aside from Nishimoto’s perform ance, the Oregon team managed to take only two other events in the meet, which Oregon Coach John Borchardt had hopes of winning. Hansen Races to Win Wade Hansen came from behind for the Webfoots in the 60-yard freestyle event to take first place. Duck Bill Vanatta, who was favor ed in the event, became fouled on one of his turns and was classed as an “also ran.” Hansen pulled ahead of both Husky swimmers to win going away in the race, the hardest sprint of the meet. Oregon also won the diving when Jim Stanley outclassed both Wash ington boardmen. Stanley is trying desperately to improve his season’s form to the point where he can de feat Oregon State’s Ray Staub in the Northern Division finals at Washington State in Pullman this weekend. Staub has defeated Stan ley twice so far this season. Huskies Relay to Record The Washington 300-yard medley relay team set a Division record of 2:59.8. The old record was held by the 1948 Husky team. In the 400 yard freestyle relay, the new record set by Washington is 3:38.6. The old record was set in 1942 by an Ore gon team, whose time was beaten 3.6 seconds Saturday. The remaining competition for the Webfoots this season will come next Friday and Saturday at Pull man in the Northern Division meet. Washington is expected to retain the title it has had for the last five years, and Oregon and WSC are ex pected to fight for the number two spot.
