'Dudk ——— I , fy &ill (fwiKttf Kmarmld Sport* Editor At tm> point, before discussing topics more pleasant, we should like to offer condolences to those among you had the misfortune to bet on Stanford. It certainly could not he said of the Indians that they were anything lc- than perfect hosts. It .appears that their approach to what in the dear dead days be fore the war was called a classic, ua- sadly deficient in some w ay. Perhaps they regarded football as just a game, and not the grim painstaking science it has become, especially in a league like the Big Ten, where a player just has to be a rather rugged operator to survive. We doubt if there was any marked differ ence between Illinois and Stanford in regard to material. The men from the mid-west w'*re simply able to put out more of what they had, and of course got more in return. In the clutch they had what was necessary, and Stanford did not. No Substitute for Victory Tin- loss made it six in a row for the Rif* Ten, 1 >tjt there Is nothing barring a Coast comeback. Tlie only thing they will need to do is shelve any extensive de-emphasis plans they might have, or else get the rest of the nation to accept them, because it is necessary to he very, very realistic, and verv, very determined to compete with teams like Illinois on even terms. I here is no substitute for victorv in present-day big time college football; with cold cadi from big gate receipts the reward for winning. And you have to spend money to make money, which puts smaller school*, Oregon included, in something of a bind. One solution, just tried by Loyola and USF, is to give your foot-: balls to the intramural department and forget the whole thing. New Seats for Students Departing from such weighty topics. Athletic News Bureau Director -Art Litchman was telling tis that the new bleachers being built on the floor of McArthur Court will enable all Ore gon students to have closeup seats to the basketball games for the first time. The new addition of bOO seats increases the capa city of the court to 8500; the fourth largest on the coast: You will notice that they are curved to make use of the corners, which is a trick that had been thought impossible with re movable bleachers until a new way of building them was de vised. New Dope Book Out Also rather interesting was the fact that the U of O ranked twelfth in the nation in basketball attendance last year with 176,000. Another boost to our collective egos should be the news that no other state west of the Rockies has two hoop pavillions of over 8,000 seating capacity to match McArthur Court and Gill Coliseum. Not even California, which is not overly modest in claiming the biggest and best of nearly every thing. Litchman, one of the coast’s most respected publicity di rectors. puts out a pocket si/ed “Duck Dope" book for every major W'cbfoot sport. IIis basketball edition, just out, has a nice yellow cover with a picture of Rill Borchcr on the cover. In it. sportswriters can find nearly anything they want to know about Oregon basketball. Form Chart One feature which is very informative is his racing form tv pc comments on each Oregon hoopster. It goes like this, starting with the forwards: Bob Peterson, 6-5, All ND; top scorer, rebcunder. Keith Farnum, 6-2, Improving, could help considerably. Mel Streeter, 6-4, Veteran reserve; has potential. Jim Vranizan, 6-4, Steady replacement; may help. Ed Halberg. 6-5, May be out with in juries. Ron Phillips, 6-1, Lacks size and experience. Doug Rogers, 6-3, Must improve to help. Centers: Chet Noe, 6-7, Talented; could be answer, llank I’onneinan, 6-7, Improving steadily, could help. Guards: Ken Hunt, 5-11, Steady veteran; fine shot. Ron Bottler, 6-1, Frosh; could break in. Ken Wegner, 5-11, Soph; fast, with talent. Barney Holland, 6-0, Soph; smart ball handler. Bud Covey, 5-10, Soph; out last year. Bob Hawes, 6-0, Soph; has good shot. Howard Page, 5-11, Frosh; fine floor man. Larry Chamberlain, 5-10, Frosh; lacks experience. And there you have the Oregon basketball team as per Art Litchman’s “Duck Dope” book. All that is lacking is whether or not the various entries can rui| hi the mudd * ’ 8 " * * ' Borcher's Ducks tContinued from pane jour) I he Iowa tilt., for the Hawkeyes broke the arena scoring record with 86 points as compared to 72 for the Ducks. Iowa could not solve the Oregon fast break in the first hall, and led by only four talliea as the intermlsseir. time found the score 37-33. Kalher than trying to stop Ore gon’s fast breaking tactics in the latter part of the contest, the llawkoyes displayed a break of tile Uebfoots off the floor. A five minute spurt in the third period gave Iowa Its commanding lead, and they kept going until they had passed the previous scoring record of US. Chuck Darling, the 6’8” Iowa center, split the hoop tor 19 of his total of 27 points in the game dur ing the second half. After losing three straight games, the Ducks came to life against, favored St. Mary’s and eked out a close 58-50 victory. Dick McLaughlin caged a free throw with seconds to go in the contest to knot the score at 56-56, then guard Ken Wegner dribbled the length of the court and layed the ball in to hlatch the win for the Webfoots. IVterson Gets 19 The Gaels led only once in the game, when they took an early 7-4 margin. Oregon had taken the lead by the end of the first stanza, arid by halftime the score had reached 33-26, for the Ducks. St. Mary's started to roll in the third period anil continued to close the gap until McLaughlin's gift toss evened the count with seconds left. Peterson garnered 19 points for the Oregonians and played his usual splendid game on the back boards. The Ducks continued their win ning ways against College of Pa cific at Stockton, downing the Californians 71-62. Coach Bill Bor chcr evidently had his charges in the right mental condition for the tilt, for they started fast and gathered momentum as the game progressed. College of Pacific never threat ened during the game, trailing by 10 or 12 points all through the con test.
