High School State
Tourney Discussed
In Joint Meeting
In a meeting held yesterday in
the Student Union, university and
city officials discussed problems
relating the forthcoming State
Basketball Tournament which is
to be held in McArthur court next
month. Entertainment for the
high-school students was first on
the agenda, and it was planned
that dances should be held in the
Student Union every night of the
week while the tournament lasts.
Although the tournament is held
during the week of final exams
for winter term, housing for the
visiting students has been taken
care of by the local business men.
Students can either reside in hotels
in the surrounding areas or in
private homes. No comment W'as
made about staying in fraternities
or sororities during the week.
Tourney Benefits School
Ray Hawk, dean of men, stated
that the tournament was a benefit
to the school as well as the city,
because high-school students were
brought into contact with the town
and university surroundings. In
this way, he continued, high-school
students could gain first hand in
formation about the university and
the courses of study which are
offered, besides becoming acquain
ted with fraternities and sororities.
Howard Lemons, athletic busi
ness manager, stated that the uni
versity was able to come in con
tact with many potential athletes
who are now playing high-school
ball, and thus induce them to at
tend the university when they
graduate.

Ducks Drill for Win
Over Oregon State
By John Whiffy
Oregon's hard-working basket
ball team is preparing this week
for their scries this weekend with
the last place Oregon State Beav
ers. The Beavers, who just can't
seem to find a winning combina
tion will be looking forward to an
upset victory over the Ducks, who
have managed to stay just ahead
of them in the Northern Division
standings.
Although the Oregon squad is
only one rung above the State
quintet on the ND ludder, Coach
Bill Borcher's group has a two and
one-half game lead on the lagging
Beavers
Monday night, the Oregon State
five edged out the Idaho Vandals
by a 53-49 count, and looked as
good ar, they have all year. Danny
Johnston scored 23 points to lead
the Slats till! coached team to the
win.
The Idaho quint is the same out
fit which split a series with the
Webfoots this past weekend, and
on the basis of comparative scores,
which are not necesarily accurate,
a good contest should be on the
slut*' for those who attend the two
games this weekend.
In last year's games, the Duck
hoopsters came out ahead In three
of the four tills played, while the
Beavers took one victory on their
own court by a 41-39 count.
It will lie a battle to keep out
of the cellar on the part of both
teams. with Oregon State trying
to climb out of the last spot
and the Webfoots seeking to sieze
both games and move up toward
third place.
