1 u' ‘ Xr*Ki,n VVehfoots annually play against the Beavers of Ore
gon State,-*ml to all appearances tire contest should be a good
one. (>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. This tied the game,aU&-63^aitf.i$Dhe offer. ,

Beavers Deep
I Ins year s Heavers have an exceptionally strong reserve
^Tonp, and often Gill his trouble deciding which of his combi
nations will fare the best. 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.
