tDuc607'i&c6& ———fo&t &ant6K\ Emerald Sports Editor Washington's Coach Tippy Dye attended Tuesday night's < )regon-WSC clash. Purpose, of course, was to get a good look at the Wchfoots in action against another team—in short, lie was scouting. Dye said he flew down Tuesday, and returned to Seattle by plane yesterday morning. With Idaho on the bill in Edmund son pavilion Friday and Saturday nights, Dye said he couldn't afford more than one night away from the Husky campus. Moineone in me crown mentioned that Idaho should he an cu.sy kill for Washington on the Hunky home floor, but Dye was far from ex pressing that sentiment. He said the Vandals arc too tall and too unpredictable for any op timism on the part of his team. Karlier in the Season, the Huskies and Vandals split a pair of games In Moscow, and Washington went on to lose a pair in Pullman to Wash ington State. 'V So, while the Huskies won one and lout three in the Inland Empire, Oregon came out one better with a two-two split. Dye commented with a smile that the Huskies are still In contention mainly by virtue of their two early season victories over Oregon in Seattle. At half-time Tuesday night .after an exhibition of as near- perfect basketball as will In* f o ti n d any where in the coast by two college teams. Dye seemed just a little awed. VVSC, you'll remember was burn ing up the hemp with a .560 ah not ing average, while Oregon was smoking with a .400 good in any college league. But in the second half, when WSC finally showed that it could be off, as well as almost totally "on,'' Dye seemed a bit relieved trrsee that this sort of basketball wasn't an ordin ary thing in McArthur court. That's observational assumption on our part, of course, but he did murmur a couple of times something like, "Well, they DO miss occasionally, don't they?” Before the game, while both teams were warming up with shooting drills and so on, Dye kept a sharp eye on the Ducks, and didn't bother with a second at the Cougar end Of the floor. He paid particular attention to Duck Forward Will Urban, who has been out of play for so long now with separated bones in his right foot. A slight Injury, or even the possi bllity of an injury, can greatly han dicap a player, of com ae. You’ll re member that In the 19r>0 Washing fon State series, Big Kil Gayda wan held down mainly becauae he had a bad ankle, and could pivot only in one direction. Gayda waa usually a threat on either side. So juat how Urban is reacting to his right foot was of great interest to Tippy Dye Tuesday night Since Oregon won the game by a good margin anyway, perhaps it's logical to say it was a good thing Urban didn’t play. On the floor. Urban might have shown some little weakness one that the ordinary spectator wouldn't notice but one that Dye could see and capitalize upon, a week from Friday and Saturday. Tippy took reamH of notes, of course, ami was busy diagnosing and charting Oregon plays, as well as keeping an accurate floor chart of Just where each played was every time he shot. And he was very careful not to advertise just what he was writing in his notes of course no one in the press box was trying to peek over his shoulder. His scouting is his own business. Nevertheless, he was "covering up" his notes just as carefully as the friendless individual who hides his paper in a tough classroom test. Before the game, Dye was intro duced to University President Dr. Harry K. Newburn. Sometime dur ing a lull in the second half, New burn (sitting behind the Husky coach in a reserved seat), leaned forward to comment on something. Dye almost unconsciously slapped his open hand over his notes as he turned to speak to Newburn it must have been interesting ma terial. Dye showed several times that he has extraordinary observation by pointing out just what had hap pened in various confusing inci dents on the playing floor.
