Hard to Pick Winner
Although Oregon is firmly
lodged in second place of the
Northern Division, it Will -be dif

The one advantage which .
Oregon might have will be the .

Bob Edwards to the center post
and advanced Jim Sugrue into the
first string- in Edwards' forward
position.

Oregon’s Chet Noe will be mak
ing a stab at the Northern Divi
sion record for most rebounds in
one season dining the two games.
He has 33 to go before he equals
the total pulled off by Bob Peter

Boreher's probable starting
lineup will be the same as he used
at Washington: Ed Halberg and

at center, and Barney Holland and
Kenny Wegner at guards. Bob
Stout and Bob Hawes will also
most likely see plenty of playing.
