For the first time since he enrolled at the University of
Washington nearly three years ago, Dean Parsons, six foot
seven inch Husky center, received an enthusiastic cheer as he
left the playing floor late in the final quarter of -Saturday
night’s Washington-Oregon hoop contest.
Parsons has been very unpopular with Duck students and
rooters in the past because of the fact that he left his home
town here in Eugene in favor of a college education at the U.
of W. But after his great playing exhibition against the Ducks
in their recently completed series, everyone present couldn't
help but give big Dean a hearty ovation. Parsons really showed
much improvement over his appearances of last year. He tallied
32 points in the two games despite a rugged Oregon defense
and was a tiger on the backboards.
Anchored by Parsons at the center spot, the Huskies should
be a tough outfit to handle next year. Also, returning next
season will be such stalwarts as Karl Voegtlin and Bob Bryan,
forwards; and Jerry Johnson and Ron Patnoe, guards. All these
lads showed tremendous possibilities in their games against the
Ducks and should be ev.en better next season.
Ross Looks Good
*
One of the brightest lights for the Ducks in their successful
conquest of Tippy Dye’s quintet was the sparkling perform
ance of sophomore forward, Jerry Ross. Ross, a small man in
the cage game of this day and age, rebounded magnificently
against his much taller opponents and what he lacked in size
he made up for with sheer hustle.
Ross also displayed much scoring potential as he dumped in
17 big points in the Friday contest to lead all scorers. Coach
Bill Borcher of the Ducks has been working with Jerry all
season long in hopes that he would develop into a consistent
starter for the Webfoots and last weekend Ross showed that
he is definitely ready for the job.
Think Before You Holler!
Saturday night at McArthur Court we witnessed something
that amused us very much. When the final score of the Oregon
State-Idaho contest came over the loudspeaker almost the en
tire Duck rooting section let out with a loud groan. Under most
circumstances this would have been understandable, being that
the Aggies had won out, 69-53, but, in this particular instance
it was downright foolish. At least we think so.
If you Oregon rooters will stop and think a minute we believe
you will see our point. Since Idaho is still very much in the
running for the Northern Division basketball crown and has
already beaten the Aggies twice before, it would have been a
shame from the Oregon point of view if the Vandals had scored
their third win over the Beavers. Idaho has completed its sui
cide trip to Oregon and now have mostly home games left to
play. If they had won both the Oregon State contests it would
have made them definitely in the drivers’ seat as far as the
league championship is concerned.
On the other hand, since OSC did manage to gain a split
with their opponents it left Oregon very much the commanding
team with their five won and one loss record. To us this seems
much more important than seeing our cross-state rivals take
it on the chin. Now, if Borcher’s team can just gain a split with
Slats Gill’s Beavers the Ducks will still be on top in the league
standings and will be mighty hard to remove from their perch.

night and then return to Eugene

At present Coach Bill Borcher’a
Ducks have a one game bulge
in the standings over OSC and can
maintain the margin with a split
in the crucial series. Indications
are that this may be a difficult
task, however, as the Beavers
seem to have found themselves
against Idaho last week.
In the first contest the Vandals
boomed to a 70-50 triumph, but
in the second game Slats Gill
changed his lineup and mode of
attack and the Beavers came off
the floor as 69-03 winners.
Up front Gill had three big
men — Jay Dean, Tex Whiteman,
and Swede Halbrook with two
guards as feeders. This worked
with admirable success and the
canny Gill may use this setup
against Oregon.
On the season the Beavers have
an 11-5 record. Oregon's mark
stands at 13-4. Last year OSC
beat Oregon four out of five (three
out of four in conference) but
wound up two games behind the
Ducks in ND standings.
In all-time standings the Beav
ers are ahead 86-79.
