    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.

feature Sigma Alpha Epsilon
against Sherry Boss hall. Scene
of the battle will be the unfinish
ed afea of the men’s P.E. build
ing.
Led by jerry uinzoerg s rr> point
performance, the Sammies were the
surprise of the season when they
i came from behind a 33-21 deficit in
the third period to nearly tie the
score.
After barely leading 12-11 in the
first half and 26-21 at the start of
the fourth period, the Minturns be
gan to find the net and rolled up a
12 point lead early in the stanza.
Ginzberg then retaliated with a
pair of field goals to end the scoring
drouth and the Sammies were off to
,the races. Leading 36-33 with a
minute to play, the winners began
to stall but Ginzberg stole the ball
and broke through for a lay-up to
make the final score 36-35.
Tom High Winner
Joe Tom was the man who saved
the day for the otherwise cold Min
turns as he dropped in 12 counters
and was a brilliant play-maker.
Ginzberg’s 15, however, was high
for both sides.
Ray Coley scored nine for Min
turn and Jerry Barde potted eight
to gain runnersup honors for SAM,
It took an overtime period to do
it. but Alpha Tau Omega pulled
through with a 22-21 victory over
Sigma Nu.
Neither team seemed to have
luck in finding the hoop in the
rough fouling contest.
Hull Game Tight
With the count tied up at 21-21
at' the end of regulation playing
time, it was up to varsity footballer
Larry Hull to sink the lone free
throw that iced up the contest.
Both quints were overly cautious
in the overtime period and took a
few shots.
After Hull had dropped in his gift
toss the ATO’s went into a stall for
the remaining minute and 30
seconds.
Sigma Nu was trailing 21-20 with
one minute to play in the fourth
quarter but Cartlon Moran was
fouled by an over-anxious ATO and
came through with the point that
deadlocked the contest.

ATO with 7 counters while It win
Schoonover sank 6 for Sigma Nu.
