*Practice' Hint To Billiard Skill Charles Peterson, World Trick Phot Billiard Champion, will be at the Student Union recreation area -the remainder of this week. Tuesday's schedule is as follows: 2:30-3:30 p.m.: coeds instruction. .8:30-4:30 p.m.: men's instruction. A :30-5:15 p.m.: exhibition. 7:00-8:00 p.m.: exhibition. -#:00-9:00 p.m.: coeds instruction. f*:00-10:00 p.m.: men's instruction. Peterson says of the game, “Bil liards is a decent, fine game. And I've done my best to bring it to 'the fine people, the youth of my country. Look around the high fichools. colleges. Boy’s Clubs of America and YMCA’s and you'll agree that I have succeeded." The acknowledged number one trick billiard shot-shark of the world and father of fnter-collegiate billiard tournaments conducted by Western Union telegram began bis -career as a cuemaster at the old -ftepublican House hotel in Mil waukee in 1893. Peterson, who was ^hen 16. was running an elevator .at the time, with occasional tours off duty as an attendant in the 4wtel pool-and-billiardry. plus part - -time employments as bat boy for the Milwaukee ball team, then _ >*uartaged by Mr. Cornelius Mc Gillicuddy. Between rushing the .growler to Connie Mack's robust hoys in their hotel rooms and rack ing them up for visiting actors and drummers, Charley kept fairly; busy, but he somehow managed to | •find time to learn to shoot a good . game of pool, a low-brow word j .which he now cannot bear to hear j applied to the respectable game of jx>cket billiards. One day there -4»appened to tarry at the Republi can House a traveling man with dome time on his hands, which he put to what was then considered! expensive use by taking on young • Peterson at five cents a cue. Peterson has a one-word formula I -for his success: Practice. During! bis career he has diagrammed about 1,000 difficult shots, a great many of which only he can per form. He'll show many of them when he appears here. 071 Trounced By JVs 74-52 The Oregon Junior Varsity team administered a sound 74-52 shel -Aacking to the Oregon Tech JV -learn in a preliminary to the Ore .^on-St. Mary’s tilt Saturday night.

OSC Drops JV Quintet The Oregon J.V.’s dropped a heartbreaker to the Oregon State J.V.’s at Mac Court Friday night by a score of 67-75. Still smarting from a 70-43 shellacking at the hands of the little Beavers the pre vious week, Kirsch's kids turned in a determined game and looked as if they wouldn't be denied. The first quarter was dominated by the local boys as they chalked up a 22-15 advantage. The two Rons. Phillips and Bottler, paced the attack. The blackshirted Beavers came alive in the second stanza to pick up a 41-43 advantage. Diminutive Ron Fundingsland was the big gun in this period while Art Henrik sen. and Bud Shirtcliff had to work to keep control of the boards. j The second half was a closely fought affair which saw Doug Rogers. Ron Phillips and Keith Farnam foul out. A nice layin by Bill Choat lied the score at 51-51 in the third. Beautiful shooting by Farnam and Phillips kept the local J.V.’s in the game as the score was knotted again beginning the fourth canto at 60-60. But it was a case of the Aggies having too many scoring guns as Houck. Fundingsland. and; Shirtcliff all wound up in the teens j for scoring. With a minute and a half left in the game and the Duck-1 lings behind by 62-73 the Aggies | j used their freeze. Ron Phillips earned a spot on; the varsity lineup that night with ; : a deadeye display of shooting j which netted him 25 points. Ron 11 Fundingsland tallied 19 points to j1 take the honors for the invaders. , 1 Summary: OREGON' J Player Farnam. f .... Bottler, f Rogers, c Page, g Phillips, g Dhoat, c - Siegmund, f Byler, g .

Ducks Split Series With St Mary’s In Non-league Tilts Webfoots Cop i First Tilt 69-58 Turning back a persistent St. | Mary's college Gael quintet, the I University of Oregon Ducks notch- ! ed a satisfying, 69-58 decision over ; their California visitors in the first of a two-game setto Friday night in McArthur court. Fifteen Webfoots. led by Captain Kenny Hunt, who meshed 16 points j out-platooned the game independ-; ents who were tn contention much ( longer than is Indicated by the final score. Oregon Coach Bill Bor- j cher shuffled and reshuffled his patch-quilted line-up in an effort . to find a winning combination for this weekend's series with the Uni- | versity of Washington Huskies. Peterson Nat out Bob Peterson, once under con sideration for a Look magazine all- < American position, was exiled to the bench by Borcher for insubord ination The high-scoring forward reportedly did not suit up for prac- ' tice Thursday night and left early '•to study." Borcher said that Peterson "displayed an indifferent attitude" during the week. Playing the role of a ‘‘comeback kid," Forward Keith Farnam. who was shunted off to the Jayvees Thursday, earned another shot at a first string position and plunked Pnur field goals and a free toss ut the turn of the second quarter for a sensational recovery. The first period’s action was in decisive in so far as a trend was concerned—neither team main tained more than a two-point ad vantage. Oregon landed first on a 1.1-foot push shot by Hunt and also last with a Farnam layup for a 16 14 reading In favor of the Bucks. Art Pidoriano and Bill Halley of the Gael forces shot in a pair of two-handed tricks to establish an 18-16 count. Farnam then dumped j through seven consecutive efforts and Guard Ken Wegner pumped, in a set shot from the key and the i Ducks led, 25-20. St. Mary’s balding, red-thatched Irishman, Tom Foley, watched his J gamesters eclipse the Duck margin. • pronto. Bill Bagley. a sensational sophomore forward from Chicago, i 111., demonstrated his two-handed wizardry with a 25-foot bullseye from the left-front court which was sandwiched by a Bagley and a Ben Gibson layin. St. Mary's led 27-25 with three minutes remaining in the half. Wegned Shatters Tie Wegner shattered a 31-31 tie with a driving layup and Chet Noe and the^same Wegner topped off the half with a pair of one handers. The winners out-shot the Mora gans 21-14 in the third quarter, with Noe, Mel Streeter and Hunt showing the way with eight, seven and six point outbursts, respec tively. Noe, particularly, was ef fective with his hook shots con necting in the desired manner. Ore gon’s three quarter edge was 36-45. Bob Hawes dropped through a layin with 4:55 remaining to play to hike the Webfoots' leeway to nine points, 60-51. The Gaels re taliated with a one-handed jump shot by Joe Flores, an extra-point er by Turner and a 20-footer by Pidoriano, but the Ducks were able to break up the Gaels’ pressing, man-to-man, with lay ups by Bud Covey and Hunt.

Several times during the game the Mac Court hardwood took on all the aspects of "Pier Six" as the do-or-dle Mor agans gained a split in the two game series. Coach Tom "Red’ Kolley wisely slowed the Galloping Gaels down to a trot and the more deliberate style payed off. Despite this caution the fray was marked by several rough scraps in which* elbows swunk freely. One, between Keith Kamam and Diew Turner after three minutes of the fourth stanza had elapsed, was too much for the referee and both men were ejected. Mlrrotrr nr* iwnrr It was rup and tuck in the first quarter with the score being knot ted four time* before Mel Streeter connected on a free-throw in the closing second.* of the period to tie the score again at 14-14. During most of the second period the action at* Ju*t a* close a* neither team could gain more than a two point margin. With a minute anil a half left In the first half Ben Gibson, six-foot eight-inch Gael center, poured In two quick shots to break a 21-21 deadlock. This put the halftlmr score at 2.V 21 and gave Saint Mary’s a lead which they never relinquished. In the third canto the Moragan Maulers fattened their lead with some fine shooting. Art Ptdortano John Higgins, Bill Halley. Joe Flores. Bill Getris, and Bob Stein kamp all got into the scoring act. With ten seconds left In the period and the Webfoots behind by 45-33, Ken Hunt scored on a jump shot. As Saint Mary’s brought the ball down fast to try for one last shot. Hunt stole the ball and let fly from the center line. The gun went off as the ball banked neatly through the hoop. 1'UUI III »(UUI in r i rr/,1 With an eight point advantage beginning the fourth, the Gaels be gan an effective freeze. Chet Nojj. and Ken Hunt traded baskets with Getris and Pidoriano followed by a layin by Mel Streeter and an other by Captain Hunt after a fine steal. This left the Ducks only two buckets away from tying the game up with two and a half minutes to play. With Oregon in possession and the score at 45-49 Saint Mary's committed a crucial theft to get the ball and keep up the freeze. Art Pidoriano, a fly in Oregon’s ointment all evening, added salt to the wound by meshing a wide open layin two seconds before the finul gun. Oregon never looked good on the backboards and was unable to take control even after Gibson had foul ed out with seven minutes remain ing. Art Pidoriano was high point er for the evening with 17. Ken Hunt and Chet Noe shared the honors for the Webfoots with 15 apiece. f Please turn to patje five) Holland, g . 0 0 0 Page , g. 0 0 0 Wegner, g . 3 0 0 31 7 69 KO FT TP 3 2 8 1 1 3 5 2 12 10 2 2 10 14 2 2 6 12 4 4 1 9.. 0 0 0 Total 10 20 58 Total ST.
