    Ducks Slate 'Civil War'
With OSC Hoopers
1 lie* top two basketball teams
in the state of Orepon will
face each other tonight, Fri
day, when the University of
. Orepon takes to the maple
boards to match baskets with
Oregon State’s powerful Bea
vers in an 8:00 o'clock fracas
scheduled for Gill Colosseum
in Corvallis.
This game will be the first be
tween the Ducks and the Beavers
in this year’s ’Civil War’ series
and will be a very important tus
sle as far as Northern Division
standings are concerned.
At the present time Oregon is
leading the league with a five won
and one lost record and Slats Gill's
courtsters are right on the Ducks’
heels with a four and two mark.
- Whoever can come out on the
lon£ end of the score tonight and
tomorrow evening, Saturday, when
. the two quintets clash at McAr
thur Court, will definitely gain
MAX ANDERSOW, Duck center,

nit out for him tonight at Cor

the upper hand in the pennant
chase.
In a preliminary to the varsity
tussle, Don Kirsch’s Oregon Frosh
hoopsters will take on the Oregon
State Rooks in a game beginning
at 6:16 p. m.
Both the Webfoots and the
Beavers showed lots of fire in
their practice sessions this week
and both outfits seem to be in top
shape for the Friday night game.
Slats Gill, who has been chang
ing his line-up around so much
lately that it is hard to tell just
who will start, has tenatively said
that he might open the first Ore
gon encounter with Tex Whiteman
and Tony Vlastellca at the forward
spots; Swede Halbrook at center;
and Ron Robins and Jerry Crim
ins in the back court.
Of these only Crimins has not
| seen starting action before and it
is quite possible that either Johnny
Jarboe or Bill Toole will get the
! first line call before the bespec
taled Crimins.
Dots of Height
j If Gill does decide to start
Whiteman, Vlastelica, and Hal
! brook it will give the Orangemen
[tremendous heigjith on the back
boards. Whiteman and Vlastelica
both stand slightly over six-foot,
five-inches and of course Halbrook
soars into the stratosphere clear
up to seven-foot, three inches.
Against this invincible OSC
five, Bill Borcher, Oregon mentor,
has indicated that he plans to
stick with the same starting play
ers who handled their jobs so
masterfully against the Washing
ton Huskies last weekend.
Providing Borcher does this, the
i Ducks will have in their opening
line-up: Jerry Ross and Ed Hal
berg in the forward slots; Max An
derson at the pivot; and Ken Weg
ner and Barney Holland at the
guard posts.
From these named players it
is quite obvious that the Beavers
are going to have a definite
heighth advantage over their op
ponents but it is also apparent
that the Ducks will have much
more speed on the floor than the
Gillmen.
This should make for a very in
teresting game in which Oregon
will probably be constantly trying
to get the Beavers to run with
them and the Corvallis hoopers
trying just as hard to slow the
Webfoots down to a walk.
On paper the two teams appear
very evenly matched with most
basketball experts rating Slats
Gill’s team a slight favorite mainly
because they are playing on their
home court.
The Ducks will have added in
Hale Kane Wins
Handball Match
Hale Kane rolled into the quar
ter finals of the intramural hand
oall tournament Thursday after
noon by defeating Phi Kappa Psi
by a 2-1 score.
The deciding factor in the match
took place in the very first sched
uled game when Coley of Hale
Kane won by a forfeit. Later on
Takano of Hale Kane bounced Gass
of Phi Psi, 21-7 and 21-14 to sew
up the contest for the winners.
Phi Psi scored their only point
in the doubles clash as the Haney
brothers, William and Robert, won
out over Graboski and Oyama of
Hale Kane.

centive to win against the Orange
because nearly all of the Webfoot
players well remember how the
Beavers, playing as a tremendous
underdog, scored four victories In
five tries over them last season.
All in all this stacks up to be the
beginping of one of the greatest
Oregon-OSC basketball series in
history of the cage game at the
two schools. It has been quite a
few years since the Ducks and
Beavers have been in the running
for the Northern Division cham
pionship at the same time and the
rivalry ought to be terrific.

Nips Phi Psi Five
In one of the most thrilling
games of the year, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon came from behind late in
the game to edge past a previous
ly undefeated Phi Kappa Psi five,
24-22, Thursday afternoon in I. M.
basketball play.
A basket by Jim Tennyson with
only a few seconds remaining in
the tussle provided the winners
with their victory margin. Pre
vious to this time the Phi Psi
team had been leading most of the
way.
Tom Moss with 10 points and
Tennyson with nine more were the
leading pointmakers for the win
ners while Bob Hazel's six coun
ters were the best Phi Pei had to
offer.
In other Thursday games: Sig
ma Chi squeaked by Sigma Nu,
31-29, in an overtime period, Phi
Kappa Sigma boomed past Kappa
Sigma, 32-16, and Delta Upsilon |
downed Phi Delta Gamma, 27-26. j
Sigma Chi had to go all out to ;
win over an underdog but not un
dermanned Sigma Nu five in a
game which very nearly rivaled
the SAE-Phi Psi game for sheer
thrills.
The contest was close all the i
way with a 16-16 tie prevailing at ‘
the end of the first half and a 27- j
27 deadlock on the scoreboard at i

Phil Lewis and Yogi Matsushima
are still slightly under the wea
ther but are expected to be ready
for the Saturday meet.
An added event will be a cen
tury race between Harry Fuller, a
swimmer from Evanston, Illinois. \

According to Borchardt, “the
meet will be close with the win
ning team ahead by no more than
three or four points.”

Sigma Nu’s with 11 counters.
In still another close game, DeW

of the way by a smalt margin.
Bob Goodwin of the losing team
was game high scorer with 42
points while Bill Norval’s eight
were tops for the DU’s.
Phi Kappa Sigma marched to
the only decisive win of the day

So ail the ducks made big
Plar.s to fly away from their own
muddy nest and have a bout
with the beavers. One observa

of encouragement, "those bea

said, “but I hear that their broad

Another duck who was really
