Trailing Houbregs in scoring
are Chet Noe, University of Ore

Against Simulated Vandal Quintet
By Rick Tarr
Knirruld Sportstvrlter
Coach Bill Borcher put his traveling squad through its last workout
Wednesday afternoon before boarding a train for Moscow, Idaho this
morning. The twelve cagers who will attempt to put Oregon back in the
running with the necessary wins over the Vandals are: Alex Byler, Ken
Wegner, Chet Noe. Keith Farnum, Hank Bonneman, Bob Stout, Bud
Covey. Wayne Johnson, Howard
Page, Kit Halberg, Bob Hawes, and
Barney Holland.
Wednesday's agenda included of
fense against a zone defense (in
anticipation of the Oregon State
series i, defense against the Idaho
attack, rebound screening, and of
fense drill.
The team which has been sim
ulating Idaho in practices was
composed of Harlan Mickey, j
Gordy Green, Hay Bell, Wayne
Johnson, and Bud Covey. They
worked plays off the “merry-go
round” and “stack-up” styles of
offense taught by Vandal Coach
Jack Finley.
The latter is executed by every
one jamming into tiie key at the
same time to draw the defense in
so that one man can break clear
for the basket in the confusion.
The starting five seemed to have
everything under control, but
whether they can Co it against the
veteran Idaho quintet remains to
be seen.
So far this season against the
same opponents, Washington and
Washington State, Oregon has
fared somewhat better. Oregon
overwhelmed the Cougars from
Pullman twice in a row while Idaho
was pressed all the way to win
by a mere 49-50. The murderous
Washington Huskies took both
Idaho and Oregon but the Web
foots were harder to subdue, com
ing close to winning the first game.

Basketball Great
Fdces Bribe Trial
NEW YORK i.Pi Former Ken
tucky basketball All-American Bill
Spivey went on trial today, charg
ed with giving false testimony to
a New York Grand jury.
The 23-year-old Spivey is ac
cused of lying seven times, mainly
in denying he talked to anyone
about fixes of the point spread in
Kentucky games during the 1950
51 season. The indictment charges
that Spivey talked over such mat
ters with convicted gambler Jack
I Zip I West and two Kentucky,
teammates, Jim Line and Walt'
Hirsch.
West himself furnished the ma
jor development today as the court
went about selecting a jury. As a
witness, West balked yesterday at
testifying before a grand jury and
was given until today to change
his mind. Today, he protested that
authorities had no right to bring
him into court and was rewarded
with a charge of contempt of grand
jury procedings. At the request of
West’s attorney, contempt pro
ceedings were held over until to
morrow.
Meantime, five jurors were"se
lected before Judge Saul S. Streit
who will preside over Spivey’s trial.
By his questions to prospective
jurors, Spivey’s attorney — John
Young Brown of Lexington, Ken
tucky—indicated the defense will
confine itself to character testi
mony.
