(>rrg,m-currently js holding down second place in the Nor thern Division, while the Beavers are residing in the fourth slot. However, only one game separates the two. squads, so a double u in by (»SD in the weekend's games would reverse the posi tions of ttre t\VO perennial opponents. In the season opener last December, the Staters won a non league decision from the Ducks at Portland by a 72-68 score in an overtime following a one-point basket by Duck forward Ld Halberg. Due to an inadequate timing device, it was im possible to determine whether or not Halberg’s bucket was made before time was up, so the official scorer gavftjiim one point for the shot.

I he tentative starting lineup for the game tonight has 6-foot, 6-inch lex Whiteman in one of the loi ward slots and Jed Kumanoti, a 6-foot, 8-incher, in the other. I he guards will probably be Hill I oolc, a sophomore speedster from Klamath halls, and Johnny Jarboe, another sophomore from Franklin high in Portland. At center, Gill will have 6-foot, 5-inch Tony Vlastelica, the sensational sophomore transfer irom Grays Harbor JC in Washington. Big Tony dropped in 28 points in the Beaver victory over Idaho last weekend, and is always considered a scoring threat. He specializes in hook shots with either hand, and the word from Corvallis is that he has finally found him self in Northern Division competition, Behind these five, the <)SC mentor has one of the strongest second teams on the Pacific Coast. Among them are Reggie lialligan and Ron Robins, both of whom have seen considerable action lor- tho *>talei> this season. Alt-ND guard Dannv John ston is another competitor who can always be counted on to give a creditable performance, although lie has not yet ap proached his peak of last vear Same Starters ( ha-gun s head coach, Hill Borchcr. will probablv stick with the lineup he has been using for the last few games. Ivd Hal berg and Keith Farnatn will probably open the game at the forward spots, with 6-foot, 7-inch Chet Xoe holding down the center position. At guard.ixen Wegner and Harney Holland can he expected to start, but junior Hob Hawes, the sharpshooter of the Webfoot squad, w ill undoubtedly see plenty of action. It was quite a surprise to many Webfoot fans last Friday night to see that Big Hank Bonneman.yvas starting the game at center, and that Chet Noe had been moved over to forward, but a few followers of Oregon basketball fortunes have been looking for such an occurrence all season. Hank has been showing steady improvement ever since the start of the year, and he is turning out to be quite an asset to the team. We Have watched Hank ever since his freshman year, and before this season, it always seemed to us as if the big bov was out of place on a basketball court, although we admired his hustle and efforts to do the right thing. But now, we are actually glad to see him take the floor. Hank's movements are much more coordinated, and he seems to have found himself at last. Fast or Slow? To get back to this evening's contest, it will be interesting to see what Slats •Gill will do to stop Oregon’s smooth-working fast break. Will Oregon State run with the Webfoots. or will they try to slow down the pace of the game? Most of Gill’s teams in years past have relied on a slow deliberate system of ball control, but when he has had the right material, Slats has not hesitated to field a fast breaking outfit. With such speedsters and ball handlers as Toole and Robins on the roster, OSG could probably run with the Webfoots, and perhaps even run away from them, but whether they will try to or not is still a question. Usually, when a team tries to run with one of liilBRorcher’s quintets, they find themselves trail ing by a considerable margin at the end of the game, but with the material at his command, it seems as though Slats might at least experiment with the idea of trying to run away from the hard-breaking Ducks. Again, only time will tell. ~--—------rage Five StitzerSquad Bombs Merrick Dick Barnard, with fourteen points, and Gary Newton, with twelve marker,**, paced Merrick as they registered- a 33-29 victory over a hard fighting squad from Stitzer, The lead changed hands nine times with the score by quarters running 7-7, 13-11, and 25-21 in favor of Merrick.

The tournament, which will be held in Portland, will consist of entries from the various colleges, univer sities and clubs throughout the state. Although Oregon State dropped its swimming team from the j Northern Division conference one week ago, several Beaver swim mers arc expected to compete in the meet. Last year, Oregon won the men’s division and coach Bor chardt is confident the team will repeat this year. “The team should pick up most of it spoints in the distance events,” Bor chardt stated, sinee the swim mers in these events are in pret ty good shape.” Gordon Ed wards, who showed mid-season form by swimming the 1500 me ter in 20:0.1 Wednesday is tab bed to take the individual honors at the meet. Last year, Edwards was named to the Northern Di vision all star team after break ing the time in the 440 freestyle.
