*Duc6 'I'll.- man who guides the destiny of the Washington basket ImII team hit town I httr.sday with Ins charges, and put them tinough a short shooting drill to sharpen already sharp eves for the Dad's weekend series against the Ducks. Looking very dapper in his brown double-breasted suit, Tip py Dye had the usual coaches comment to make regarding the forthcoming series. He was of the opinion that the Ducks would bounce back from the pair of terrible lickings they re ceived in Seattle, and would be tough to beat. He also said that the toughest team his Huskies have played this year was St. Louis. Watching 1- rank (iiiisness, Hob Holdings, and com pan v "ami up was a spectacle of shooting accuracy. Iloubrcgs, for example, Tiit something like twelve of his renowned hook shots without a miss. Eugene's Dean Parsons Is on UW Varsity Ami a little later Dye had his freshman protege, six-foot, eight inch Dean Larsons from l-'ugene out on the floor prac ticing the same shot. Dye stood in back court and passed the leather in to Larsons, whereupon lie would shoot with less easy skill than Houbregs, but with the promise of a Lot of improvement in the future. I'or Parsons is just a freshman at Washington, and went there after being an all-American choice during his prep days at Eugene high school. It is sad indeed that such a towering basketball nugget left his own home town for fields which must have been greener. At any rate, Tippy Dye will certainly realize all his hoop potentialities and make him a finished bas ketball player; albeit one who will no doubt prove a consider able thorn in the side of future Webfoot teams. We were talking to Dean in the dressing room as he was removing hi- size 16 shoes, and he said that it was real nice to he back home. The big boy with the infectious grin says he is "learning a lot about basketball under Tippy Dye,*’ and likes Washington a lot. Duck System Depends on Ball-Handling On the other side of the fence, Oregon Coach Hill Horcher tried a new piece of strategy last night when he started Ken Wegner at a forward spot. Wegner, normally a guard, was moved to the front court in order to add speed and hall-handling talent to the Duck five, at the expense of rebound strength. “Our system depends on ball-handling," stated Borcher, “and we use constant screening to break men loose for shots. Wash ington, on the other hand, uses a stand-around offense, with lots of opportunities created for men like Guisness to shoot Jong, drive in, or pass in to Houbregs for a hook shot.” In regard to his personnel, Borcher said he places a lot of stress on defensive play—"It's a cheap way to win ball games. In fact, most of our substitutions during the St. Mari’s series were made because of defensive lapses." Peterson Led Oregon in Upset Last Year If the Ducks should come through for a surprise upset in this series, it would be a triumph of spirited desire and will to win against a team which in the last analysis has just plan "got the horses." Of course there was last year, when the Huskies came to luigene bebruary 23 and 24 with much the same team which they have now. The Ducks lost 77-68 Friday night, but boomed back Satur day to score a phenomenal 52 points in the first half and walk off with an 82-75 victory. Playing a vital part in that stirring win was Hob Peterson, then a 19-year-old sophomore. Peterson scored 28 points for an (>regon record in Northern Division competition, and included in these were 14 free throws for an other record. Here's Hoping Dads Get Treat So there is a precedent for that sort of thing. In fact, the Huskies have not swept a series from Oregon at McArthur court since 1944, and have managed just three wins in their last 14 starts on the local maple boards. In conclusion, we hope that the visiting Oregon dads, be tween spells of inquiring why Junior got that one-point, and writing checks to pay for various extra-curricular activities, will get a chance to see the youthful Webfoot hoopsters win a ball game. I Four League Togas Clinched in HH Play By Bill Brandsness Four league champions appear as the Intramural hoop play pounds into it*- last rounds.
