of contention with a 56-44 victory
at Pullman.

IM Point Totals
Phi Delta Theta and Hale Kane
continued to fight It out for the
intramural point leadership with
the completion of basketball and
handball competition. The Phi
Dells have compiled 594 intramur
al points to 563 for Hale Kane.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Tau
Omega, nnd Campbell Club round
out the top five — each gathering
over 400 points.
The SAE's started the year off
by winning the football title with
Phi Delta Theta grabbing runner
up honors. Then, Hale Kane pro
ceeded to dominate volleyball ac
tion by grabbing both A and B
championships from the Phi Delts.
Basketball warfare saw two
smooth working Phi Delt quintets
roll over all opposition with Susan
Campbell hall and Hale Kane tak
ing second place in A and B, res-!
pcctlvely. In handball play, a hard
working Beta Theta Pi team won
top honors by defeating ATO in
the finals.
Theta Chi. Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Beta Theta Pi, and French hall
complete the top nine with Phi
Gamma Delta, Sigma Nil, and Sig
ma Chi tying for the tenth posi
tion.
me vandals, until this game,
had retained an outside chance
for a tie for the conference crown
but their loss to the Cougars elim
inated them from the running en
tirely.
Only Oregon State's pace-set
ting Beavers and the runner-up
Oregon Ducks have a mathemati
cal chance for the championship.
When the two teams clash this
weekend in their final series of the
season, the issue will be decided.
In another series this Friday and
Saturday nights the Idaho five
will entertain the up and coming
Washington Huskies in a two
game set that could go a long way
in deciding which team finishes in
third place in the final standings.
Tippy Dyes cagers, after a very
poor start, have come back nicely
in their past few games, and with
a two game sweep of the Idaho
scries, the Huskies could pull
their division record to an even
.500 with seven wins and seven
losses.
Washington and Idaho will prob
ably go into the game as about
"even-stephen.” The Vandals, play
ing on their home court, will be
out to avenge two losses to the
Huskies a few weeks back at Seat
tle.
Washington State, apparently
doomed for the cellar this year, i
Is idle this weekend and will con
clude their schedule with two
games against Washington at i
Seattle Friday and Saturday
nights, March 5-6.
The Cougars were led to their j
big win over Idaho Tuesday eve
ning by their high-scoring for
ward, Kon Bennink. Bennink play
ed his usual stellar game and
wound up the game with a fat
total of 21 points. He was seconded
by center Bill Uehder with 17.
High point honors for the losers \
was center Dwight Morrison with
13 counters.

wDANE CLAnK -
Holland,
Halbrook Gel' Call
On Emerald All-Star Five
witu the basketball season'
rapidly drawing to a close the!
time comes for selecting all
- tar baskeball teams all over the
country. On the Pacific Coast
there will probably be many
varying opinions on who should '
be placed on the Northern Di-1
vision all-star quintet.
Sports Kditor Hob Robinson *
of the Oregon Daily Kmerald has1
chosen the following players as1
the most outstanding stars of the!
Northern Division this year.
On the first team Dean Parsons
and Kar! Voegtlin of Washington'
get the nods for the forward spots, 1
Wade Halbrook of Oregon State is i
the pivot man, and Barney Holl- !
and of Oregon and Hon Bennink :
of Washington State are the'
guards.
On the second five are Ed Hal
berg of Oregon and Bril Rehder
of Washington State at the for-!
wards, Dwight Morrison of Idaho
at center, and Bob Garrison and
Tom t lynn of Idaho at the guard
posts.
Picking a team this year was
difficult except for a few cases.
Two or three players were defin
itely all-star material and it was
no problem in deciding where to
put them, but, for some of the po
sitions the players were so close ,
to being equal that it was quite a!
problem to determine just which !
one deserved the spot.
Following is a run-down on the
first team and just why they are
picked where they are.
DEAN PARSONS
Parsons, the Huskies’ six-foot,
seven-inch center from Eugene,!
Oregon, was one of the most^out
standing cagers in the division
and any all-star team without him
included would be a mistake. Par
sons has been a consistent scorer
during the entire season and is the
possessor of a 15 point plus aver
age per game.
Parsons' favorite shot is a right
handed hook from the side of the
key-hole but he also shows much
4
Kkill with driving lay-ins and tip-,
ins with cither hand. Besides his
pointmaking skill big Dean is
probably the ruggedest backboard1
man in the league.
KARL VOEGTLIN
The selection of Voegtlin will no j
doubt draw some raves of disap
proval from many corners. Rangy
Karl didn’t show too much early
in the season but in the Huskies'
last six or seven games he has
really become a shining light.
Contrary to popular opinion, it j
was not Parsons but Voegtlin who i
was responsible for the sudden
surge of the Washington five late
in the season. Voegtlin has been
torrid as of late and as a result
has brought his scoring average
up to a very neat 11 per game.
Voegtlin stands six-foot, four
inches in height and has as his!
pet scoring weapon a deadly jump i
shot which he can use from just i
about any place on the floor. Karl
is only a sophomore and because
of his rapid improvement should
provide the Washington teams of
the next couple seasons with a
great forward.
WADE HALBROOK
Halbrook, seven-foot, three-inch
OSC center, is another must when |
it comes to Northern Division star
teams. Halbrook has been the
league’s leading scorer all sea
son long and at the present time
is far out in front of his nearest
competitors with an average of
better than 20 points, per tilt.
Another sophomore, Halbrook is
expected to threaten Bob Hou
bregs’ N. D. scoring record for a
single season before he graduates
Although the “Splendid Spire’’
specializes in tip-ins and close-in
shooting he also can shoot a fair
ly accurate hook shot from time to
time.
Halbrook has been the key to
the Beaver offense all season long
and he, probably more than any
thing else, has been the reason for
the successful season that Slats
Gill and his cagers have enjoyed.
BARNEY HOLLAND
Holland, the Oregon Ducks’ five
foot, eleven-inch guard, would be

thf> ideal playmaker for the mythi
cal team. Holland is a senior from
Coos Bay, Oregon, and is playing
his third varsity season for the
Ducks.
Barney has been the only Web
foot player who has played half
way consistent ball through the
entire schedule. Holland is a cool
headed competitor who neve,
shows much emotion when on the
Playing floor. He possesses a
smooth one-handed push-shot from
in front of the key and can shoot
a jump shot with the best of them.
Holland likes to drive in for rapid
fire shots at the hoop and upen
occasion this season has come up
with amazing shooting averages.
In a mid-season game with WSCJ
Barney hit on 10 of 21 shots as he
poured through 32 points against
the shocked Cougars.
RON BENNINK
Bennink, the Washington State
hustler, is one of the most unders
tated players in the conference.
Playing with a last place team,
Bennink has proved that he is just
about unstoppable from the scor
ing standpoint.
Shifty Ron, a six-foot, one-inch
junior from Lynden, Washington,
is second to Halbrook in Northern
Division scorihg and has a 37
point plus average per game.
Bennink can shoot with uncan
ny accuracy on the dead run and
is also very sharp with a one
handed set shot from far out. He
has scored over 20 points in many
of the Cougar games this year art*
has caused all the Cougars’ N. D.
opponents much grief.
