DUCKTRACKS By John Barton Emerald Sports Editor Washington's Coach Tippie Dye carries an averaged-sized traveling squad—but it’s a well dressed one. He takes 13 men with him, and they wear probably the most unique warmups in the Northern Division, if not in the Pacific Coast conference. jutsi jfcar, )uu 11 iriunuin:i, Washington appeared on the floor in those middie-jacket get ups—something not too popular with the fans, but which served the purpose of keeping the play ers warm at the right times. Well, this year, the Huskies are wearing warmups very similar to those of Oregon’s, but on the back of each man is his name—nice big chenile-letter writing sewn diagonally across his back. Just his last name. Looks very pro fessional and drew all kinds of remarks from the OSC crowd in Corvallis during the weekend se ries. Anyone who has attended a game in State’s new Gill coliseum will re call that the Aggie crowd is great on riding a player when it wants to. Any purely partisan crowd is, of cSurse. Webfoot rooters can be that way, too. And if there’s one guy in the entire ND who is liable to be “ridden” by the crowd, it’s Wash ington’s Louie Soriano—“Little Louie.” The OSC crowd began hooting at him the minute he came on the floor. In the past, Louie has been rattled rather easily by a mere 8,000 people shouting down his neck; But at OSC Friday night, while he did no great amount of scoring, he didn’t get a bit hot under the collar. Did foul out, but the crowd didn’t seem to b'other him like it used to. ♦ ♦ ♦ Washington opened the game Friday night with a tight man-to man defense and a three-out, two-in offense. On the offensive end of the floor, Frank Guisness (a forward on the roster), Soriano and LaDon Henson handled the ball out front, while Doug McClary and Bob Hou bregs, both 6 feet, 7 inches tall, played in under the basket. From that offense, Soriano can shobt his one-hand set shot, Guis ness can knife through the key for his driving one-handed (in the air) shot, and the two tall boys can take passes and re bounds to do most of the scor ing. At least, they did most of it Friday night—Houbregs got 10 and McClary got 14. Houbregs was a little off in getting only 10 points, but he showed that he can be dangerous when his hook shot is working. Henson didn’t show too much Friday night on offense, netting only three points. But he and Guis ness do a fine job handling the ball Jfr the front key. A little later in the first half, Washington. displayed its other offense—or rather one of its other offenses. This set-up had Soriano and Sophomore Guard Mike McCutchen playing out front, with Duane En ochs, Houbregs and McClary play ing in under the hoop. This offense, while not as spectacular as the first, is nevertheless plenty effective. It LOUIE SORIANO gives the tall men the ball, and those guys know what to do with it. All in all, the Huskies appear ed to be off their game Friday night. Observers of Saturday’s contest, which OSC won, said they appeared to be off that night also. It might have been anything —strange court, partisan crowd, or just a bad night. OSC was observing its golden jubilee of basketball over the week end—quite a celebration, inciden tally—and that undoubtedly put spirit into the game for the Aggies. ♦ ♦ ♦ Washington is a team of individ ually great basketball players, but the Huskies could stand a lot of teamwork development ... or so it looks to an observer. But any five men with the ability of those boys, put together, make up a good team. On the other hand, the Oregon State Beavers present an oppo site picture. Together, they are a darned good team, but individu ally they don’t come up to the Huskies. And that’s not intended as a slam. Probably the most talent ed Beaver is Forward Bob Paine, but he doesn’t Come up to Mc Clary or Houbregs. Dan Torrey is plenty good, but not as good as Guisness. But EVERY Oregon State play er has the one ability to play WITH his team-mates. And its that abil ity .that makes great teams out of average ball players. Don't get us wrong. We aren’t trying tp say that the Aggies are stumble bums. They certainly aren’t. They have to be good players or Slats Gill wouldn’t have them out there. But what makes them a good team is just that—Slats Gill and his coaching ability. Probably no other coach in the ND could do what he has done with the material he has had. State played its usual ball-con trol game Friday night, and the Huskies did some of it themselves. In fact, in the latter part of the game, when OSC was creeping up on Washington, the Huskies were doing more slowing down and stall ing than the Beavers. And OSC was actually hustling the ball down the court.

THE OPOSSUM . “Thereby hangs a taleT The class clown went out on a limb and tried to prove cigarette mildness by the quick-trick method! He tried the fast inhale, fast exhale test—a whiff, a sniff—and they still left him up in the air! But then he got his feet on the ground. He learned that there is a reliable way to discover how mild a cigarette can be! And that test is ... The sensible test ... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test which simply asks you to try Camels as a steady smoke-on a pack after pack, day after day basis. No snap judgments needed. After you’ve enjoyed Camels and only Camels-for 30 days in your “T-Zone” (T for Throat, T for Taste), we believe you’ll know why . . . More People Smoke Camels than any other cigarette!
