University of Oregon's up and

way back into the Northern Di

two teams square off in McAr

of the Idaho Vandals, who in
vade Washington’s Edmonson
pavilion for a pair of games
with the league-leading Husk
ies. If the Vandals can gain a
standoff with the men Of Tippy
Dye, things could look better
for our Ducks.
Tabbed as the division’s laga
muffins, the Cougars have hardly
acted the role. After dropping a
50-49 opener to the loaded Van

test with the Oregon State Beav

club dropped OSC 50-45.
Two of the main reasons why
the Cougars haven't fallen on
their faces—at least in confer

Coach Bill Borcher of the
Ducks, who scouted both of the
Oregon State-WSC games, rate4,
the Cougars as “Improved” and
expects “an interesting series."
Borelier's first goal is to win,
but close behind Is a desire to
give the fans interesting bas
ketball. He cited the drop of
1,500 in attendance at Wednes
day's game at Gill coliseum as
a direct result of the 31-29
“slow-motion” event.
“The fans will see an interest
ing pair of games Friday and Sat
urday because I believe Washing
ton State will run if they get the
opportunity," Borcher explained.
Mullins, Swanson, and Bennink
are expected to give the Ducks the
most trouble.

Borcher gave his charges a day
off Thursday. The Webfoots, rest
ed and in good shape, enter the
series as a slim choice in both
games. Washington State arrived
Thursday and worked out briefly
at McArthur court.
