AT SEATTLE
Oregon Team Works
On Offense, Defense

The do-or-die feeling pcr
\ aded M c A r t h u r court
Wednesday as Coach Hill
Morcher put his Oregon cagers
Lhfough their last workout be
fore entering' the lair of the
powerful Washington Hus
kies today.
There was a significant ab
sence of the usual jocular at
titude of the squad before other
games. The regulars went through
■a lengthy defensive drill in which
Hank Bonneman, impersonating
Bob Houbregs. hud a field day
trying hook shots. A spirited of
fensive woikout was followed by
free throw practice and a rugged
conditioning drill.
Danger Points Stressed
Throughout the practice. Coach
iHorcher made frequent remarks
about danger points in the Husky
offense and defense which the
Webfoots should pay special at
tention to.
“’Oregon will try to be the giant
killer this weekend as has every
—Washington opponent this season.
But with each consecutive vic
tory the Huskies look less and j
less like a team that can be upset, j
There was much upset talk
around Corvallis last weekend but.
as usual, the upset stayed in the
hopeful imaginations of Beaver
fans and didn't materialize on the
shiny Gill Colliseum floor.
Losing Streak
A bleak eleven game losing
streak faces the Ducks in Ed
mundson pavillion dating back to
19-47 when Oregon won 49-48. The
last Oregon victory over Wash
ington was in 1951 at McArthur
Court. The score was 82-75.
The difficult task of trying to
stop the unstoppable Bob Hou
bregs will fall on the shoulders of
Chet Noe, capable Oregon center.
In turn, the Washington defensive
specialist, six-foot-eight inch Doug
McClary, will probably have the
unenviable job of stopping Noe,
the league's second highest scorer
with an average of 18 points per
game.
Houbregs . . . Itecords
It looks like the name Houbregs
will be in the record books for a
long time. He now holds the rec
ords for the most field goals in a
game, the most field goals in a '
season, the most points in a game,
the most points in a season, the
most free throws in a season, and
the most points in a single1
career.
BOB HOIBRKOS
Mr. Everything in N'D
He needs only one free throw
attempt to break the Northern Di
vision season record, and 18 field
goal attempts to break the Divi
sion record.

PIRATES STILL UNBEATEN
Pressure Mounts as Seton Hall Stays on Tod
By Martin Meadows
Emerald Sportswriter
The pressure on top-ranked and
unbeaten Seton Hall is increasing
as the Pirates continue to with
stand the attempts of three other
contenders to move into the num
ber one niche. The Setonians made
it 24 straight last week by trim
ming Siena, 62-49, and pasting
Muhlenberg, 88-75.
The next three squads main
tained their position without any
change. Second - spot LaSalle
reached the 20-win mark against
two losses as it topped St. Jo
seph’s of Philadelphia, 75-63, and
clubbed Temple, 57-42; Washing
ton’s Huskies rolled on with twin
triumphs over Oregon State, 69
P3 and 73-60; and Indiana (13
2 i' held on to the Big Ten lead
following 66-48 and 65-50 deci
sions over Wisconsin and Michi
gan State .respectively.
Meanwhile, Illinois, Indiana's
nearest rival in league play, also
closed in on the Hoosiers in the
ratings by slapping Michigan, 92
162, and burying Iowa under an
80-63 score, thus moving from sev
enth to fifth with a 13-2 record.
The Kansas State Wildcats
jumped from tenth to sixth on
the strength of two victories,
74-64 over Iowa State and 84-64
over Oklahoma, giving them 12
wins to go with three defeats.
Louisiana State finally made it
into the top ten, thanks to the
fact that four teams which had
been ahead of the Tiger's were up
set during the week. The Tigers
advanced four places to seventh
as they shaded Florida, 68-56, and
nipped Auburn, 65-57, to hang on
to the lead in the Southeastern
conference. They have 17 con
quests, including one over Tulsa,
the only team which has beaten
them this season.
In the number eight slot are the
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers,
who slipped from fifth. They post
ed their 20th triumph by a 92-67
margin over Loyola of New Or
leans, bid suffered their fourth
reversal when Murry, whom they
had downed previously, turned the
tables, 77-67.
Another outfit reached the top
ten for the first time. Manhat
tan's Jaspers, 13th last week,
took over ninth with their eighth
and ninth straight wins; they
clipped New York U., 60-55,
and edged Canisius, 52-49, run
ning their slate to 15-2, includ
ing such victims as Louisville
and OePaul.
North Carolina State rounded
out the group after dropping from
sixth. The Wolfpack atoned for an
earl.er loss to Villanova by smash
ing the latter, 94-72, but then fell
before Duke in a thriller, 84-82.
They now own a 20-5 mark.
Incidentally, Duke is probably
the hottest team in the country
at this time. The Blue Devils, who
soared from 33rd to 15th in the
ratings, have won nine in a row,
the last seven over such powers as
Navy, West Virginia, New York,
North Carolina, George Washing
ton, Wake Forest, and North Car
olina State.
Oregon’s Ducks eased into the
top 50 after walloping WSC
twice. The VVebfoot* are -18th,
