Will, it was nice while it lasted; nice to he undefeated and
leading the Northern Division with two wins and no losses. Hut
tlie picture changed and changed fast inside Washington’s
mammoth Kdtuundson l'avillion.
There are very few excuses or rationalizations one can make
for two such extremely thorough trouncings. It is an axiom in
sports that there is no substitute for class, and apparently the
Oregon hoop squad had to be victims of the proof of this old
saw. As Coach Bill Borcher puts it:
"I won’t make any excuses; we just lost to an outstanding
team. From what they showed up there it is hard to see how
any of the other teams in the division can come close to them.”
Of course, the Ducks were surely not playing nearly the
basketball of which they are capable. Borcher says they “un
questionably" had buck fever, and certainly their shooting aver
ages, rebound recoveries and general all-around play were
perhaps as poor as they have been all season.
Breather from ND Play This Weekend
"It is logical to assume," says Borcher, "that wc will do
better against the Huskies when we play them in Eugene,
(February 1 and 2), but. I won't make any promises until I
see how well we improve some of the individual mistakes we
have been making.”
Luckily, the Ducks get a breather from conference action
this weekend when they meet the St. Mary’s Gaels Friday and
Saturday nights in the friendly confines of McArthur Court.
ThH C good, because it i> rather a psychological blow to
take beatings of this variety on one weekend, and then be
forced to put the pressure on in championship competition just
sis days later. It is conceivable that some teams would react
t'> iuch thorough lickings by losing their drive and desire to
win. and the home series against the Gaels will give the Ducks
an opportunity to regain their confidence somewhat. It is a sad
thing that the schedule-makers forced f )rcgon into playing all
four games with the Huskies with only one week's rest in be
tween.
Noe Says Crowd Rode Webfoots
Chet Xoc, six-foot, eight-inch Oregon center, thinks that
the Ducks will he abb: to split with Washington at Kugene.
“They aren't that much better than we are; we just couldn't
get started, and played our worst games of the year. One thing
which was especially outstanding about Washington was their
defensive work. That full-court pressure defense of theirs Hurt
|Mii'r fast break a lot.”
“The crowd up there was really riding us all the way through
the series, which also might have had something to do with
the way we played. As to Bob Peterson. I think he just had a
bad series against them and will snap right out of the slump.
In fact I think the whole team still has plenty of spirit left.’’
Peterson suffered a severe blow to his hopes for a national
rebound crown during the series. “Cripples” Hob Houbregs
and Doug McClary, and Duane Knochs from Portland, seemed
to have the Indian sign on both Pete and Xoe, who were ex
pected to provide much Duck backboard strength.
lTi-ni^h tot pint nnrPmn for now; let us hope that in the
^ttWircthey need he less gloomy.
Anybody Here Seen Hiram?
Here is something which would perhaps be of interest;
rumors are recurrent around the campus that a new star has
entered college basketball. People tell you about him in hushed
tones. Already he is becoming a legend. Tt seems, from what
we can hear, that his name is Hiram YVonderborn, and he is
five-feet, three-inches tall in his stocking feet. He plays for
some college, we don’t know which one, and he is supposed to
have scored 73 points in an epic performance recently. What
is more, he is considered most effective on dunk shots, and is
reputed to have broken his nose three times on the rim while
swishing lay-ups.
If there is anyone at all who knows anything more about
Hiram, we would like to hear of it. He sounds like the sort of
boy we could use around here. For instance does he yell “Up,
*iip and away!" when he soars off the maple for another fabulous
shot.?

Barrister Defeats Legal Eagles
By Bill Brandsness
Height was the determining fac
tor hh French hall over-powered
Hunter hall in a clow, low scoring
battle last Friday in the Intramural
p'ay. The final score was 16-14.
Neither team seemed to be able
to get through the other's tight
woven defenses. The half-time score
was a six to six tie. French hall
kept Hunter out of the key circle
and almost all of the shots dunked
by Hunter were made from deep
court. Neal Marlett pushed up
seven points from under the basket
to load the French scoring, Lowry
Hover followed in the scoring lists !
with four. On the Hunter hall side
of the scoring ledger Farrell Al
bright scored seven points, all on
long shots. Jack Neer hit for five
and Bruce Dingier got two.

In another close intramural game
the Philadelphians downed the Yeo.
men 19-16 in an over-time tilt.
Dick Smith led the victors with
10 joints, while Smith and P*ed- i
mond tallied five each for the
losers. The score at the end of the
game was 13-13. In the three min
ute over-time Jim Hunt hit four
and Dick Smith hit two to put the
Philadelphians ahead for keeps.
Sederstrom tipped Cherney in a i
not too eventful game by a score
of 33-15. Sederstrom grabbed an
early lead and kept it all of the
way through the contest. High for
Sederstrom was Don Holt with 16
points. Mike Kilkenny and Dick
Davenport potted 10 and 5, respec
tively to add to the Sederstrom
cause. Gary Jones scored seven and
Sam Duncan made six to lead the
Cherney scoring.

Ducklings Drop
Tilt at Corvallis
Saturday night bode ill for Ore
gon’s JV’s in Corvallis as the Duck
lings absorbed a 70-43 shellacking
from OACs baby Beavers. The de
feat marked something of a re
versal in form for the Ducklings,
who up till Saturday night's fray
had been displaying a better-than
average brand of basketball.
The game was more or less a
utilization of superior height and
hail-handling by the Staters, who
controlled the hoards during most
of the game. *
Play in both halves was about
the same, with the baby Beavers
racking up a margin of 37-16 by in
termission time. The Ducklings
showed a little more fire in the
second half, but not enough to over,
come CISC's early lead.
Individual scoring honors for the
evening went to Howard Page of
Oregon with 14 points, followed by
White of OSC with 10.
Tennessee had the best major
college pass defense record in the
nation during the 1950 grid cam
| paigii.
hall transfer was high for Sherry
Boss-Omega with a fabulous 21
points, (’raven and Briggs followed
with seven each.
Stan Kay u*ed one of the fastest
breaks seen in the tourney as they
rolled up a record of 49 points to
slaughter McChesney 49-18.
Harold Starkel was the leading
punch of the fast break as he
dumped in 17 points. He was fol.
lowed by Jolly and Holloway with
nine apiece. A substitute, Frank
Maier, was fourth on the Stan Ray
scoring lists with eight points to
his credit. Melvin Westfall scored
11 for McChesney.
Barrister Takes Grudge Match
In the last game of the day Bar
rister Inn downed the Legal Eagles
14-6 in a grudge match. The game
was probably one of the most
laughable games played up to date.
The game could well be called a
comedy of errors as everything
went wrong. The Legal Eagles used
14 men while Barrister used eleven.
Bill “Bulge Bottom” Deatherage
was high for the winners with
seven. “No Shadow" Linklater roll
ed in 3. Leader and Danielson
slopped in 2 each.
Legal Eagles scoring was as fol
lows: Robert ‘‘Bones’’ Pucket, 1;
Young, 2; Sollis, 1; Riely, 1; Brand,
1.
All of the games played on Fri
day were in the A division of play.
