As far as we can determine, big Chet Noe was the “Belle of
the Ball at Seattle last weekend, where Oregon’s tenacious
basketball quint dropped both games of a two-contest series
with the University of Washington Huskies, even though the
tall hoopstcr was a member of the losing team.
Noe Outscored 'Hooks'
Big t hot not only held the Huskies’ great hook-shot artist,
Bob Houbregs to 33 points in the series, but also nianageed to
dump in a total of 44 counters on his own during the two tilts.
?soe s performance did not go unnoticed by sportswriters in the
Seattle area either.
We quote from a release by the Athletic News Service at
the University of Washington. “Oregon’s great defensive
center, Chet Noe combined with the best ‘sagging’ defense the
University of Washington has seen this season, limited Bob
Houbregs’ scoring potential for the Huskies last weekend,
but the big pivot ace still went far from scoreless.”
I ndoubtedly, an average of 16.5 points per game in a series
<'in not be considered as going scoreless, but in comparison
wiili some of Houbreg’s other performances this year, the total
1 balked up by him last hriday and Satnrdav was nothing to
cheer about.
\\ e don’t intend to detract from “Hooks’" reputation in the
le.i't, however, hut merely would like to point out that Chet
A*,c ' accomplishment was no small thing. W hen a man who
!i.\- a 24.X points per-game average is held to 17 and 16 points
U!1 ucec.'-ive nights, and is outscored in the bargain bv his de
irii.sive opponent, it seems that said defensive opponent de
serves a bit of recognition for his efforts.
Greatest Pivot Man
I o get back to I loubregs again, however, who was described
1 hi - coach, ] ippy Dye, a> "the greatest pivot man in college
basketball," the 6-foot, 7-incher i> certainlv living up to his
chance press notices. Among other records he lias alreadv
I coken this year is the individual season's scoring mark of 265
set by Jack Nichols of Washington in 1948. At this point,
Hooks has 3/0 counters, and unless he slumps terrificallv in
the two remaining games with Idaho, he should pass the 400
mark.
Noe Also Breaks Records
His value to the team is not confined to scoring, however,
as he is the leading rebounder on the Husky squad with 292
rebounds, even surpassing teammate Doug McClary, who has
garnered a total of 267 off the boards so far this season, in
cluding non-league tilts.
It looks as if diet Noe will also break the former scoring
record for XD season play, as he has currentlv accumulated
2o0 tallies in Northern Division competition, and needs only
six points in this weekend’s games to become the second hghest
scorer in conference history.
lie has already broken the old Oregon conference record, set
at 235 by Roger Wiley in 1949. Noe will also be shooting for
the division rebound record this weekend. The present mark of
223 w as set by Bob Peterson of Oregon last year, and Chet will
have to add 33 rebounds to his present total of 191 to break the
record.
I The 1953 Webfoots as a team have also broken their share
I of records this year. They have scored more points than any
I Oregon quintet of years past, have both attempted and made
| more free throws than any previous Duck team, and their field
H^tapal average also breaks the former Oregon mark.
Oregon State’s always dangerous Beavers are on the agenda
the \\ ebfoots this weekend, and although the men of Slats
Wt .ill were upset twice last weekend by Washington State, they
are still capable of giving the Ducks all they want, and perhaps
even more. Both teams will be trying to get the advantage in
the race for the Chancellor’s trophy, and as always in the “Civil
War" tilts, previous games' results mean nothing.
Any Way You Look At It
Apparently, Oregon has the runner-up spot in the Northern
Division almost cinched, for any combination of an Idaho loss
' to Washington in the series at Moscow or even one victory
for the Ducks over OSC wll give the Oregon quint a mathe
matical certainty of finishing in second place. Even if Oregon
should drop both of its tilts with the Staters, it is unlkely that
- Idaho will come up with a sweep of the Washington series.
If Oregon does take the runner-up slot this season, it will be
* the second time they have done so in the last three years. The
1951 Webfoot quint finished'second, with Washington taking
. th title that year also. In past Northern Division games with
Oregon State, Oregon holds a 60-48 margin in games won, and
. have a 15 to 7 edge in series won, with ten ending in ties.
MEADOWS' DERBY
Top Teams Hold Positions,
But Seton Hall Due for Fall
fty Martin Maadows
Emerald Sportawritar
It’s still Seton Hall’s Pirates on
top of this week's national hoop
ratings, but file this prediction:
they are due to be upset within
the week, either against Dayton
on Sunday, or against Louisville
Monday, probably the latter. Last
week the Pirates notched two
more decisions, walloping Villa
nova, 83-68, and skimming past
Loyola of Chicago, 52-49.
That gave them 26 consecutive
wins for the season, which ties the
national record held by Holy Cross
and Long Island. The Setonians,
who will participate in the Nation
al Invitational Tournament, will
be aiming at a new mark when
Dessert Changes
Left to Chairmen
Final decision on any change in
the way desserts aie scheduled
between campus living organiza
tions will be left for social chair
men to decide spring term, i^was
decided at Monday’s heads of
houses meeting.
A plan whereby a calender of
open dates for women’s houses
would be kept in the office of
women’s affairs and men’s organ
izations would fill iri the dates on
a first come-first served basis
during a specified week each term
was introduced.
Some felt that the present sys
tem ox each house handling its own
schedule was adequate.
A letter from Tom Shepherd,
president of the Inter-Dorm coun
cil. concerning the failure some
independent dorm social chairmen
have reported in getting desserts
with sororities prompted the dis
cussion.
Jane Simpson reported the Re
ligious Director’s association was
making available a list of relig
ious speakers houses could draw
on any time they wished.
they meet Baldwin-Wallace Fri
day.
The next three teams remained
close behind. LaSalle’s Explorers
(22-2), scheduled to defend their
NIT championship, laced Muhlen
berg, 106-73, and turned in a 73
68, score over Georgetown; Wash
ington (24-1) clinched the North
ern Division title with 84-67 and
86-72 victories over Oregon; and
Indiana (15-2) neared the Big
Ten title as it tripped Wisconsin,
72-70, and thumped Ohio State,
81-67.
Western Kentucky, another
NIT entry, rose from eighth to
fifth as it splattered Middle
Tennessee, 95-57, bested Ten
nessee Tech, 74-61, and romped
over Kentucky Wesleyan, 108
57, to compile a 23-4 slate, flight
behind is North Carolina .State’s
Wolfpack (22-5), who trampled
Washington and Lee, 108-69, and
made up for an earlier loss by
bouncing North Carolina, 87-66.
Seventh spot is held by Man-.,
hattan. The Jaspers, with eighteen
wins in 20 starts, edged St. Fran
cis of Brooklyn, 62-60. and downed
Brooklyn College, 74-51, to move
up from ninth.
Down one position in eighth is
Louisiana State; the Bengals,
boasting a 19-1 record, sewed up
the Southern conference champion
ship Monday night. Last week they
registered a 71-60 conquest over
Pensacola Navy, and swept past a
weak Geoigie Tech outfit, 76-52.
Two newcomers round out the
top ten. Miami of Ohio is ninth
with 16 wins to offset three re
versals; during the week the
Ohioans measured Dayton by a
74-65 count and blasted Kent
State, 89-57. The number ten
squad is Brigham Young, the
Skyline conference leader, who
has a 20-5 mark following a 73
50 victory over Utah. Miami and
8YV replaced Illinois and Kan
sas State, who fell to the sec
ond ten.
The most unusual game of the
week saw 32nd-ranked Niagara
travel six overtimes before defeat
ing Siena, 88-81, at the latter's
court.

J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
"HURRMPH"! trumpeted Sheedy, "What a elephant time to
have my hair act up. Might as well break my date and get
trunk!" Luckily he was overheard by a Pachydermitologist who
said, "Tusk, tusk! You've got a messy big top from pouring
those buckets of water on your head. Get out of your ivory tower
and visit any toilet goods counter for a bottle or tube of Wildroot
Cream-Oil, "Your Hair’s Best Friend”. Non-alcoholic. Contains
soothing Lanolin. Relieves dryness. Removes loose, ugly dan
druff. Helps you pass the Finger-Nail Test.” Paul got Wildroot
Cream-Oil, and now all the girls tent to him more than ever. So
why don't you try Wildroot Cream-Oil? It only costs peanuts
—29f. And once you try it, you’ll really have a circus.
