“Duck 07fi<zc&& Sp $o6i* Emerald Sports Editor 1 his is Aggie week. * To a lot of people, this week may be dedicated to different things, but to Oregon’s basketball team, this is Aggie week. Next Friday night will be Aggie night, and Saturday night will be the same. Oregon State meets Oregon Friday night in'McArthur court; Oregon meets Oregon State Saturday night in Gill coliseum. If you want a name for the weekend, you can call it Civil War weekend. In past meetings, Oregon has beaten the Beavers 53 times; OSC has won from Oregon 45 times. Last year, the two teams split, each winning twice. And last year, of course, each team won those two games play ed on its home floor. In a Civil War match, where practically nothing in the line of past re cords can be counted on, the home floor makes a lot of difference. McArthur court, which houses one of the best playing floors on the Pacific coast, is at least one strike against the Aggies, simply b^fcause it has several thousand screaming (we hope) Oregon fans sitting in its bleachers at game time. And on the other hand, huge Gill coliseum, with its thousands of whooping Beavers (with voices toughened, an Oregon man recent ly suggested, by hog-calling courses) is not the best place for the Ducks to play a basketball game. ♦ ♦ ♦ Once again, Coaches John War ren and Slats Gill will walk before the officials’ table before game time and congenially shake hands. Then, once again, they will walk back to their respective benches and try to get their re spective teams to wallop the dick ens out of the other team. This year, Oregon should have one definite advantage over the fu ture farmers. The Ducks will have backboard strength, barring any injuries between now and game time. » The plow-jockies just don’t have it this year on the boards. Bob Payne (by far the best player on the club, in our opinion) stands 6 feet, 3 inches tall; Forward Jack Orr is the same; Jim Nau, another forward, stands 6’5.” Center Paul Slipper is 6 feet, 6 inches, but he doesn’t get off the floor like Jim Loscutoff or Bob Peterson; Glen Kinney, a tremen dous if inconsistent ball player, is 6’4”; Bob Edwards, inexperienced sophomore, is also 6’6”, but if he gets in the key, he probably won’t see the ball often. Those men are plenty tall as ball players go, but they don’t (or have n’t yet) get off the floor like the Dupks can. Peterson is 6 feet, 5 in ches; Will Urban is 6,3”; Mel Street, er, Keith Farnam and Curt Barclay are the same. For centers, the Ducks have Hank Bonnemann (67”); Loscutoff (6’5”); Chet Noe (67”); and Jim Vranizan (6’4”). ♦ ♦ ♦ The Beavers are tall, they can hustle, but they don't hustle like the Duck backboard crew has thus far. Its highly probable that Web foot Coach John Warren will al low no slacking off by his tall men. Oregon should have a pretty good chance of beating OSC Friday night, in Mac court. Saturday night, at Corvallis, it could be a different story, but ’the Ducks may do it there too. A home floor makes a big difference in the Northern Di vision. This isn’t the rally boosting sec tion, but we urge, beg and ask all Oregon students who can make it to go to the Saturday game at Cor vallis. A few lusty—(the sororities are rushing that night) voices in the crowd can help more than most fans realize. Beside that, Gill coli seum is a beautiful place. The hot dogs are pretty good, too. And OSC almost always puts on top flight .half-time entertainment. Best make it, gang. ♦ ♦ ♦ Incidentally, the supports behind the backboards in the Beaver hoop house (the only posts inside the place) look a lot like goal posts, and it would be interesting to watch a bunch of fans trying to tear them down after a Webfoot victory. How ever, they're probably pretty se curely fastened in 8 or 10 feet of concrete. Elsewhere in the ND this week, Washington and Idaho meet in a series at Moscow'. Odds are that this series will merely result in pushing the Vandals deeper into the ND cellar, but after the some what surprising double victory over the Huskies by WSC last weekend, you can never tell what will happen. And don’t forget, the home floor means a lot in ND play, regardless of the strength of the two teams. Washington State, meanwhile re mains out of conference play until Feb. 5, when they meet the Web foots at Pullman. Extension Division Has Own Staff Of Teachers.Covers Many Fields “The state is the campus.” That’s the motto of one of the largest offices on the university campus, the extension division of the State System of Higher Edu cation—and they aim to prove it. Evidence of success is shown in the fact that 16,000 persons participat ed in the program last year. Located in the old YMCA build ing on Kincaid St., the office em ploys 16 civil service workers and 7 full-time staff members. The extension division is a state institution serving five Oregon col leges with a full-time staff of traveling extension teachers. The Eugene office, according to Viron A. Moore, assistant director, has four main services: state - wide classes, workshops, correspondence courses, and community colleges. This term there are 150 state wide evening classes, 20 of which are held in Eugene. A variety of subjects are offered for individuals who wish to add to their education through night classes. The workshop plan involves general and sectional meetings for one, two, or more days, followed by weekly meetings for a sufficient number of weeks to meet the hour requirements for course credit. Correspondence courses, in which lessons are mailed regularly to students, last year served 3,000 per sons in nearly every state of the Union plus several foreign coun tries. Community colleges, which re semble colleges, are part of a plan to serve the needs of high school graduates who cannot go away to college and adults who desire special training. These colleges offer a complete year of college freshman work, with the possibility of adding a sophomore schedule. Physical facilities of the local school system used for late after noon and evening classes.
