Huskies Enter Webfoot Territory Today, Work Out^on Igloo Maple Washington's Huskies will arrive , i.i Eugene at noon today for their two-game series with the Oregon Dticks tomorrow ami Saturday r ights. Coach Tippy Dye's men will work out in McArthur court at 5 p.nt. It will be the first time this season the Huskies have used a basketball on the Igloo maple. Meanwhile. Oregon Coach John Warren gave his Webfoots a light workout yesterday in preparation for the important series, which may well determine the winner of the Northern Division this year. Light Session Today The Webfoots went through a rigorous session Tuesday night. Practice today will be of light va riety. Against the Washington squad, the Feathered Five faces several serious offensive threats. The j basket-hitting skill of Frank Gltis ness is a threat from any part of the court. Guisness usually plays on the right side, out front. From there, he can drive in rapidly for set-up shots, or stay outside and pot long shots. Guisness is number three in ND scoring. Houbregs Threat Another theat in Purple and Gold colors is Bob Houbregs, the 6-foot. 7-inch Husky center. Houbregs specializes in a mean hook shot from the key. Most coaches con sider that the only way to stop him is to keep the ball out Of the key. Houbregs at present is second in division scoring, behind Oregon's Bob Peterson. The rest of the Washington threat lies in Doug MeClary, an other 6-7 man, in the forward posi tion with Guisness. The latter plays out front most of the ume. Also out front is a little man well known in Mac court Louie Sori ano. playing his last year for Wash ington. Soriano is a dangerous set shot artist, and generally starts the Washington plays. La Don Henson fills out the Se | attle lineup at the other guard posi ; tion. He played forward last sea son, but Dye has moved him to the j front. 1'rlian Heady Good news in the Oregon camp is that Captain Will Urban is ready to i go back into action at lust. Urban 1 has been laid up a good part of the ! season with bone trouble in his right foot. Urban could be used this week i end as a replacement for Forwards Curt Barclay or Bob Peterson. It is doutbul if the lanky senior will I start either game.
