Now is tlie time for all good basketballs to come to the abf'flf
Oregon. *
A Northern Division championship hangs on the balance. If
< fregon wins tonight and Saturday "night,'the Ducks will either
have the title or will he deadlocked for first place honors, de
pending upon the outcome of the Washington-WSC double
header this weekend.
ir the ducks and Beavers divide
tiie two-game series, the crown will
go to Washington, provided that
they take both games from the
Cougars In the Husky Stronghold
at Seattle.
If Oregon State outscorcs the
Webfoots in both encounters, and
Washington wins at least one from
their I’ullman neighbors, the title,
of course, will go to the Huskies.
However, if both doubleheaders
are split, a playoff will Is- necessary
In order to determine the Northern
Division champs. The playoff prob
ably would take place on a neutral
floor.
< ♦ ♦ ♦
If Coach Slats Gill's pre-season
predictions deserve consideration,
the Beavers have more power than
their record indicates. Gill picked
Oregon, Washington, and Oregon
State as the loop's top contenders
for the toga.
Oregon State's official basketball
press book, also expressing opti
mism, stated boldly: "Oregon State
expects to be in the thick of the
Northern Division championship
race this winter.”
The wheel of fate comes to a
halt under the strangest clrcum
stanrrs. The Beaver press agents
were absolutely right—the Beav
ers are in the thick of the title
raee this weekend. However .this
Influence upon the selection of
the champions will not permit
them to s<^£c the honors for
themselves.
The past several months have not
been entirely successful from the
viewpoint of North Koreans, bas
ketball fixers, or Beavers. Omitting
the fortunes of the former groups,
which probably can be considered
less desirable than Beavers, we may
turn to the subject of Oregon State
1951 hoop activities.
The Beavers celebrated their
“Golden Jubilee" (Semi-centen
nial!) 50th yeHr of basketball by
descending into the Northern Divi
sion cellar, which they now domi
nate.
Yes, it's been 50 years, a long
time. The first Beaver quintet,
led by such onge stain arts as
“llam" Hijyeu and “Rat” Rine
hart, played OS(”s first basket
ball game, dropping a 08-11 deci
sion to Willamette University. It
*a\ns the first defeat as well as the
” worst defeat of Aggie history.
The Beavers have special reasons
for desiring a double victory this
weekend. Unless they win both
games, the Ags will finish the sea
son in the division basement for the
first time in history. Every other
ND squad has seen cellar seasons
before,
Oregon finished last with a 2-6
mark in 1923, the year that the
Northern Division was formed, and
also took last place in 1933 (2-11)
and last year (6-10).
Washington State finished last in
1925, 1926, 1928, 1944, and 1946.
Washington ended in the basement
only once, in 1949. Montana ac
complished that feat three times
( 1924 i, 1927, and lft*29) before drop
ping out of the PCC hoop ranks.
The Grizzlies returned to the ND
for one season, 1938, and finished
last again.
Idaho holds the remaining base
ment finished Although the Van
dals celebrated the creation of the
Northern Division In 1923 by tak
ing the ND and Pacific Coast Con
ference crowns, th.' Muscovites
have had few championship seasons
since then.
Idaho finished last for three
straight seasons (it is difficult to
determine a "straight” season in
these present days of ImskWball
rising), jumped up to fourth
place In 1933, and returned to the
bottom of the pile for the follow
ing four campaigns.
The Vandals then finished only
two games away from first place in
1938, but they bounced back to the
cellar for the 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942.
and 1943 seasons.
The following years- included
rather strange developments. The
Idahoans finished next to last in
1944 and gained their sixth base
ment finish in seven years in 1945.
This was discouraging, so the
Vandals took the Northern Divi
sion title in 1946 before quietly
settling down in the cellar again
for the following two seasons.
Idaho now has another oppor-;
tunity for a last-place season, de
pending upon the outcome of the j
Duck-Beaver games tonight and
Saturday. Two Oregon wins will
provide the Beavers with undisput
ed cellar possession.
One Duck triumph will mean n
Vandal-Beaver deadlock for last
place, while the unlikely event of
two OSC victories will put the Bea
vers in fourth place.
Several former Duck hoop artists
fired spheroids through iron rims
with outstanding consistency dur
ing the District Seven AUU tour
nament which ended Monday.
Former Oregon Guard Ernie
Kaldini scored 2d points during
the Eugene Itorket 61-57 quarter
final victory over the Oregon
humher Sales squad while an
other ex-Duck, Paul Stowers, was
netting 22 for Everybody's Drugs
in a semi-final 66-57 Everybody's
triumph over Copping’s Tires.
The Rockets smashed through
the semi-finals with a decisive 76
43 rout of the Florence Loggers as
Baldini sank 14 field goals and 6
free throws for 34 points, the high
est total in Eugene AAU competi
tion this season. Another Rocket,
ex-Oregon Center Bob Amacher,
scored 14 points and took a good
share of the rebounds.
The district championship bat
tle featured the performances of
four members of the 1950 Oregon
hoop squad. Everybody’s Drugs
took the title with a 73-48 win
over the Rockets as Dale War
berg and Paul Sowers spearhead
ed the attack, scoring 28 and 15
respectively.
Bob Amacher of the Rockets tal
lied 11, while Ernie Baldini pound
ed the hoop for 25 counters, giving
him a three-game total of 85.

p.m. today in the Student Union.
Since his arrival on the campus,
he has been talking to political
science classes.
When asked. Thursday if he be
lieved there was an over-emphasis
of the political aspect of the U. N.,
Bruce stated that a study of the
organization would show some very
quiet but effective work in eco
nomic and social aspects.
Bruce pointed out that three of
the five committees in the General
Assembly deal with the economic
and social phases. “Delegations are
always largely composed of eco
nomic advisors rather than politi
cal representatives,” he noted.
“The technical assistance pro
gram for under developed areas is
now' proceeding from the planning
stage to specific projects,” Bruce
related. The Economic and Social
Council, now meeting in Santiago,
Chile, is reviewing where and how
the money is being spent.
Bruce has been w-ith the sta
tistical office since its organiza
tion in 1945. Work of the office in
cludes collecting and publishing
economic and social statistics to
give a picture of current and long
range trends, thus providing a
basis for the work of the General
Assembly and Economic and Social
Council. A second purpose of the
office is the development of more
accurate and adequate statistics
in member nations.
Noting the changes on the Ore
gon campus, Bruce commented on
the number of new buildings.
“Friendly Hall was still a men's
dorm when I was here,” he skid.
"Oregon Hall was the Law' School
and Fenton, the library. Bruce, who
also received a master’s degree
from Oregon in 1934, is affiliated
with the Oregon chapter of Delta
Tau Delta social fraternity.
