For one thing Jack Fried’s twin fives played anything but cellar brand ball against Washington Saturday night in Se attle and had it not been for Tippy Dye’s 13-minute pause and a two-minute coal-roasting session between halves, the sleepers might have sullied the Huskies’ perfect record.

Although they clipped the runner-up Vandals, 66 GO Monday night, gaining a foot-hold on second place, they fell by the same 60-66 score the following night. Reversing the role against Oregon State, the Ducks lost the opener, then won the finale at Gill coliseum. 1‘ortland writers have ju-t about handed Oregon State the 1 ‘354 Northern division basketball flag, claiming that the addi tion of Freshman Center Wade (Swede j JiaJbrook, plus, the experienced holdovers w ill transform them into an unbeatable combination, much the same as this year's .Washington-outfit. Ducks Lost Out We'll "rant that the Heavers are the team to heat in ‘54 in a league which will he weakened seriously by the large. number of graduating seniors. Yet it will be a better-balanced tighter race; there probably will be fewer than six games sep arating the champs and the chumps. — — - .1 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 telica, forwards; Halbrook, center; and Bill Toole and Ron Robins, guards. Outstanding depth would be their number one weapon-—Ted Romanoff and |he ^ OREGON’—Two headaches arc in store fair Ihyehyi;^^, forward spot and a center.

A six-foot, five-inch sophomore center, from Compton Junior college in California, Larry Rpbetfcllidt was sot .tu .enxull fin. JEngene in April, but ,was drafted, last month. Compton, by thy way, swept the state-wide, lfvteam Sam -Barry Memorial ‘tournament last December in Glendale and Robe tel lie was, named the outstanding performer. ; IDAHO—Coach Chuck Finley cant seem to get much mileage from his talent-laden Vandals this year so there’s “lit tle reason to expect to finish any higher (if that) next season 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 Bt-hdcr, center; Bob Klock and Ron Bennink, guards. Only Underwood is currently a second platooner.
