OREGON STATE—Slats Gill will be the only mentor-in
the league who will be able to pick and choose. The Beavers-* i
could open with a lineup of Tex Whiteman and Tuny~V!as

; IDAHO—Coach Chuck Finley cant seem to get much
mileage from his talent-laden Vandals this year so there’s “lit

They'll still be good with a starting lineup of Rog Lillibridge
and Harlan Melton, forwards; Dwight Morrison, center; and
Bob Falash and Tommy Flynn, guards.
WASHINGTON—It’s a lead-pipe cinch that Dye won’t
start a fivesome of Don Apelatnl and Steve Roake at forwards;
Dean Parsons, center; and Don Tripp and Roland Halle at
guards. The Huskies have a spectacular frosh scpiad and the
Northern school will dig up some junior college talent to half
plug the un-pluggable gaps.
WASHINGTON STATE—Although consigned to last,
they'll be no slouches. The Cougars can count on a starting
lineup of Bert Underwood and Bob Swanson, forwards; Bill

Underwood is currently a second platooner.
