: FIVE WAY TIE
Division Teams Divide
Close Weekend Series
It games so far are any indi
cation of things to come, then bas
ketball fans along the Pacific
coast can look for one of the clos
est races in history in the North
ern Division.
< )nly six games have been play
ed in the still young pennant fight
but already every one of the five
teams has at least one loss to its
credit. At the present writing Ore
gon, Oregon State. Idaho, Wash
ington, and Washington State are
in a five way tie for first place.
Over the past weekend the OSC
Idaho and the WSC-Washington
series were both split and so no1
one team was able to gain the
upper hand in the conference
standings.
Vandals Surprise
At Corvallis, Idaho’s Vandals
surprised the experts by upsetting
Slats Gill's favored hoopsters in
one out of two games and thus be- i

came a serious threat to the Beav
ers’ title plans.
Lad by their big center. Dwight
Morrison, Cuck Finley’s quint took
an early lead over a very cold
OSC five and held it all the way
to defeat the "Big Berthas" 70-65
in their Friday night encounter.
Morrison tallied 22 points for the
Vandals which was second only to
Swede Halbrook's 32 point effort
for the losing Beavers. Halbrook
had a big night, hitting on 11 of
bis 19 shots but his scoring antics
were not enough to turn the tide
against the determined Idahoans.
On Saturday night it was an
entirely different story as the Cor
vallis bombers came back strong
to even the score with their oppon
ents by chalking up a 65-60 vic
tory. Halbrook was once again the
big gun for the Orangemen as he
dumped in 28 counters. Harlan
Melton and Bob Garrison topped
the Vandal scoring ledger with 12
apiece.
Cougars Stop Parsons
In the Washington-Washington
State games at Pullman it was
much the same story as the Cou
Duck Grapplers
Fall in Opener
The University of Oregon staged
their first wrestling meet Satur
day at McArthur Court and al
though the Ducks were thoroughly
trounced, 36-0, by Oregon Tech,
the. affair furnished some very in
teresting moments for about 720
spectators.
Oregon's grapplers, showing a
Jack of experience, pot up a spirit
ed fight in every match and show
ed that they are determined to
learn the wrestling game.
In * preliminary match the Ore
gon Frouh were defeated by Klam
ath Fall* high school, 29-6. Neil
Butler and Dave Newland scored
wins for the Frosh.

First IM Games
Set For Today
Intramural basketball season
opens this afternoon with three
“A” division basketball games.
All will be played on Court 40
In the men’s gym.
Kules for Intramural basket
ball will be. the same as those
governing intercollegiate basket
ball with the following excep
tions :
1. A forfeit may be declared
if a team is more than five min
utes late. 2. No postponements
are permitted. 3. Periods will be
five minutes long, with 'two min
utes between halves.
4. Instead of the three minute
rule, two foul shots will be
awarded during the last two
minutes of play.
Tricky forward Ron Bennink
was the big scoring leader for WS
C in their opening game win as he
flipped in 22 points. This plus the
Cougars’ ability to put the stop
pers to Dean Parsons’ high scor
ing ability was too much for Tip
py Dye’s outfit to cope with. Par
sons managed to score only nine
points, far below his 18.3 average
for the whole season.
Parsons was stopped again on
Saturday evening but forward Dan
Tripp took over the pointmaking
reins for the Seattleites and tossed
home 21 counters to pace the Hus
kies to their first win of the year.'

In 1952, a survey of colleges
throughout the country showed that
smokers in those colleges preferred
Luckies to any other cigarette. In
1953, another far more extensive
and comprehensive survey—super

based on more than 31,000 actual
student interviews —once again
proves Luckies’ overwhelming pop
