Ducklings Face Rooks Friday Coach Don Kirsch’s undefeated University of Oregon Frosh basket hall squad will face the Oregon State Rooks Friday and Saturday, January 12 and 13, at Corvallis. The Ducklings will be seeking their 13th consecutive victory. The Rooks broke an 11-game Duckling streak in 1950, and they will be at tempting to perform a similar feat Friday night. The Rook club is the only squad that has defeated Coach Kirseli's charges during the past three sea sons. The Ducklings won sixteen and lost four during the 1948-49 season, and all four losses were acquired at the hands of a great Rook quintet that lost only to Salem High School. pflows Phi Delts, Fijis, SAE, Minturn, Kappa Sigs, Sigma Nu Win IM Tilts Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Nu, Minturn hall, Kappa Sigma and Sigma Alpha Ep silon notched their first victories of the intramural basketball cam paign Tuesday. Of the six contests only one was close enough to make the referees sweat. Ray Karnofski, also a defensive football player, pulled a close game out of the fire for Sigma Al pha Epsilon. With the score 14-12 in favor of Cherney hall and less than a minute left to play, Karnof ski sank a free throw and then made a lay-in to win the game for SAE. Low Scoring Fray The score was nip and tuck throughout the low scoring fray with Cherney leading most of the way. The game was knotted 4-4 at the end of the first period but Cherney moved out at halftime 8-4 and led 12-9 at the third period stop. Pat Dignan was high point man for SAE with six points. Phi Delta Theta demonstrated little pity for Pi Kappa Phi as they smashed their outmanned oppon ents 49-1 in the highest score of tiie afternoon. Sporting such prep greats as Nick Schmer, Bob Tag gesell, and Jim Nelson in their line-up, the Phi Delts failed to ex hibit any sign of early season roughness. The smooth working Phi Delt machine rolled to a 20-0 lead at halftime and were in front 38-0 at the end of the third quarter. The sun finally shone on the Pi Kap Iln U. S.

AIK rUKit pa Phi’s late in the contest wnen Garrett scored a foul shot to place the losers in the scoring column. Phi Gamma Delta encountered little opposition from Alpha hall as they trounced the men from Straub 20-9. Both teams would probably have scored more often if the style of play had been a lit tle more clean. Most of the scor ing was done in the first half which ended with the Fijis out in front 14-7. DeKoning was high point man for the winners with 8 counters. Kappa Sigs Impressive One of the most impressive teams of the afternoon was that of Kappa Sigma, which trounced Sigma Phi Epsilon 41-14. The Kap pa Sigs, helped out considerably by the height advantage of Bob Anderson and Bill Clausen, led 30-6 at the half and 35-6 in the third quarter. Both teams looked weary in the final period and the Sig Eps closed the gap to 41-14 at the final gun. Bob Anderson captured high point honors with 13 counters, followed by John Martel, also of the Kappa Sigs, with 11 points. Bowman (Please turn to page three) Basketball Captain Out of Bay Series, To Face Vandals Oregon's chances for victory in its basketball series w itb St. Mary’s college and the University of San Francisco this weekend were knocked down a notch yesterday. . . Forward Will Urban, floor captain of the squad, re-injured Ins right foot, broken last fall in pre-season practice.

SPORTS STAFF A1 Karr John Barton Phil Johnson If you decide to start on the road to thinness, here’s hoping you lose your weight. Doctors saia tne injury uus uuie is a separation of the bones in Ur ban’s right foot. The tall forward apparently suffered the mishap in the same way it struck him last fall, and realized it as it happened. He was able to walk from the floor. Webfoot Coach John Warren said yesterday the team will miss Urban, and chances for victory in the southland are decidedly lowqg, in his absence. Urban will prof^ ably remain in Eugene, going to Corvallis at least one night of the weekend to watch the Oregon State-Washington games. New Guard Warren experimented with a position change in yesterday’s workout. Mel Streeter, lanky swift-mov ing forward who played center last year, was given a tryout at a guard position. Streeter, according to his men tor, can use his terrific speed and agility to good effect from the guard spot. Warren said he has been look ing for a good “feeder,” a guard who is adept at feeding the ball to the post man in the keyhole position. Streeter may be the man, he added. Mel is also a good shot from the guard position, and is particularly dangerous in plays calling for the guard to cut by the center. Bixj jjim /1(lucked (le.Launde.'i, Six-Foot, Five-inch 'Moose' Loscutoff Excels at Scorina, Backboard Work By Bill Gurney You don't have to be 6 feet, 5 inches tall to play center in North ern Division basketball, but it helps a lot. Ask Jim Loscutoff, a big blond guy with a crew cut, who has ac counted for 128 points in IS games this season for Coach John War ren's Ducks. We were talking to Jim one night in the training room before practice. The sheer size of the man is perhaps the most noticable thing about him; his 226 solid pounds make him lugged as well as tall, and a capable workman on the backboards. Jim said his favorite shots are a long one-hander from the corner, and a whirling hook shot from the post position. Said hook is poetry in motion from the stands, besides being very tough to guard. Bay Area Man A 20-year-old Californian, Jim attended Commerce high in San Francisco, and Palo Alto high in that city, which is now his home. He was one of the top basketball players in the Bay area, while playing baseball and football as well. As many athletes do, Jim early acquired a nickname. He was play ing high school football, missed a key block, and his angered coach made a statement in which Jim was referred to as “You big moose,” and Moose they have call ed him ever since. Jim’s basketball skill was pol ished to its present luster in Cali fornia’s fast junior college compe tition. Playing for Grant Tech in Sacramento, he scored over 1000 points in two seasons, winning All Conference honors. His first year the team took sixth place in the National J. C. finals at Hutchinson, Kansas. Rivals to Friends Jim and Duck teammate Bob Peterson are former hoop rivals but are good friends now. They came to Oregon together last sum mer session, and liked it so well they decided to stay. Loscutoff mentioned that they played two games against each other in junior college. “I sorta outscored him,” said Jim. Both of the big guys seem to have taken in stride the jump from junior college to Coast con ference ball; although Loscu'R^pJ stated: “It’s quite a lot tougher up here.” Likes Jazz On the campus, you can find Jim at the Phi Delta Theta house. He likes to listen to his collection of Jazz records for relaxation; he favors the jazz philharmonic ser ies. Also he plays ping-pong; a sport at which Peterson offers “no com petition at all.” But just before he went upstairs to pound the Mac Court maple boards, he said this of the North ern Division race: I think we’ll finish close to the top, especially since we’ve got Pet erson in there.
