Oregon's last team was fairly successful, and Hank (The Needle} Anderson was largely responsible for that success, lie sank 13 field goal- against Willamette to set an all time Oregon record which will -till stand a decade later. A sophomore guard named Don Kirsch also ‘‘sparkled ' last winter, and don t forget that obscure sub who suddenly jumped into the starting lineup and stayed there. A tall fellow they called him "The (loon." His real name \-a- W dliam Hotelier. lie was the outstanding rebounder on Hobson s "la t ten man team I ever had." Borchcr accounted for 22 rebounds in one game with Oregon State, and in 10 minutes of action against Willamette, he scored 7 points and took 11 rebounds. He seems to have a fair amount of knowledge about the game, too. An Emerald -port- editor, Jonathan K. Kahananui, missed some of his -Indies while he watched Anderson.

Marshfield’s bitterest rival, because North Bend has a habit of usually winning the district crown. To add insult to injury, Marshfield s new coach.

Hillsboro defeated Astoria 44-39 for fifth place in that tourn ament, but Maker and Marshfield both fell by the wayside in fourth place semi-finals. Kugene's state champs had knocked both Morcher s and Kirschs squads out of the running. An Oregon student, Jonathan K. Kahananui, has followed these events with interest.

The first game was a close contest, with the teams tied up I at 11 all. Then Eldon Bushnell, for j the Kap Sigs, stepped up to the : serving line and placed four i straight serves over to chalk up a win. The wind shifted in the next one and Sigma Nu tasted victory for an instant, but were unable to come through in the final game. The contest was marked with an amazing number of circus recover ies on the part of both teams. Behind the excellent teamwork of Don Berker and Donnie Krieger j the Theta Chi six posted two straight wins over Delta llpsilon. However, the Dl's put up a valiant figiit lead by Ceee Daniels. Hunter hall collected twro wins from Cherney hall principally from the serving line. In the first tilt, .Tack Neer took over and racked up a big percentage of the total points. In the second one. it was Ilex Davis, who took over the honors to bring home the bacon by a 15-0 margin. Pi Kappa Alpha added another victory when they dumped Chi Psi two games in a row, 15-12, 15-6. Both teams showed a lack of ex perience, but displayed marked im provement as the battle progressed. The games were primarily long range affairs with a lot of one handed returns. With tlie excellent all around playing of Dick Wailc, Alpha Tau Omega found little competition in the form of Sigma Alpha !Vlu, who were able to 'collect only 13 points in both games.
