|<X"I1S freshman basketball team runs up against the
, ks ,,f °reKon Sta‘<! tonight for the second time this season
" l u- first meeting of the two, the first-year men from (JSC
h>' »nan»noth Wade Hall,rook, sent the Ducklings
l0,lle nursing a 56-67 defeat.
It looks as if the Fresh squad has quite a job on its hands
t >t hopes to hold down the high-scoring seven-footer. Big
ax Anderson, tallest man on the Duckling roster, stands
ut a mere six-feet, seven-inches in comparison. Perhaps the
esi way to handle the big Swede is to concentrate on out
scoring him rather than concentrating on holding his point
total down.
\\<- are certainly glad to see that the University is final!v
going to take the step that will be the starting point in return-1
mg Webfoot athletic teams to their rightful places in PCC and!
Northern division competition. The point under discussion is !
of course, the recent decision of the administration and the
athletic department to increase the number of grants-in-aid to
athletes by approximately 70 per cent.
Spread Thin
hornierly, the university granted financial aid to approxi-1
rnately 60 athletes, and when it is considered that these cov-j
ered football, basketball, track, and baseball at least, it is Cvi
oent that there were not nearly enough to go around.
The present plan has provisions to grant about 100 such
scholarships to competitors in various sports, and should be
extensive enough to cover adequately the needs of the
coaches, at least as far as numbers are concerned. Perhaps
next year Coach Len Casanova will have enough men on his
football roster to fill the quota permitted for the traveling
squad. 1 his past season saw him making several trips with
less than the maximum permitted because he just could not
find enough players who would be of aid to the team to take
on the trips.
In fact, it seemed to us on several occasions that game
flayed at home found the Webfoot.-. bench containing fewer
leavers than that of the vi-itors across the field. Modern foot-!
bW/f is a game where numbers as well as individual ability i
important, and the 1952 Oregon grid squad certainly didn't
have the advantage in number' in most of its games.
Strictly Legal
Another aspect of the proposed program which strikes us
favorably is the way in which it is to be carried out. The plan
does not deviate in the least from the rules of the Pacific Coast
Conference. One of the worst things that can happen to a col
lege or university is to permit athletics to overshadow all else
that goes on around the campus, including class work.
Oregon seems to have chosen the middle road, and to us it
seems the best course. It is bad to permit the athletic side of
a school’s extra-curricular activities to wane to the point of
distinterest on the part of the students, but it is even worse
to allow athletics to dominate college life to the point where
all else is secondary.
It is to he hoped that the new program will aid in eliminat
ing one of our pet peeves in regard to sports competition with
n the state of Oregon. Perhaps one of the most aggravating
things with which college coachjias to contend is the drawing
off of the cream of the crop of high school athletes by out of
state schools.
The Old Run-out
In years past, it was almost a certainty that exceptional
high school athletes from the state of Oregon would end up at
some out of state college or university where they aided in
beating the sox off the University of Oregon and OSC. Recent
examples are A1 Hansen, sensational fullback from Grant high
in Portland, who traveled all the way to Texas to continue
his education at Southern Methodist university, and Dean
Parsons, a football and basketball star from Eugene who is
currently attending the University of Washington.
Lately, however, we have noticed a reversal in this trend,
and more and more high school ballplayers from within the
state are staying in Oregon to complete their educations. In
turn, it seems that the coaches, at least here at the Univer
sity, tend to rely more on home grown talent to fill out their
squads. Only two of the hoopsters on this year’s frosh bas
ketball team are from states other than Oregon. Kent Dor
win played his high school ball at Fremont high school in
Oakland, Calif., and Dick Schlosstein came to the U. of O.
from Stadium high in Tacoma, Wash.

free throws. A full court press was
thrown on Sherry Ross as the
French men utilized a three pla
toon system to keep the press up
to full strength.
Offensively French Hall was
not idle as they quickly went
ahead 10-0 and coasted to their
second victory. “Skip” Dalros
paced the squad with seven tallies
in their 34-3 conquest.
