.New Percentage Marks
Be-ddes leading the team In ;
poir.tmaking, Halberg was heap
ed with more honors when it was
found that he had set two new rec- j
ords for Oregon with his deadly
shooting eye. Hy virtue of his 120
field goals In 2C2 tries at the bas
ket. Halberg compiled a shooting
percentage of .458 for lh<; Ducks'
27 games and thus broke the old
record of .420 set by Roger Wiley
In 1040.
Halberg’s backet percentage for
Northern Division play was .438
on 03 foals on 144 shots at the
hoop. This gave big Ed another
new Webfoot mark. The old record
was held by Ken Wegner who com
piled a .404 average during the
1932-53 season.
Page Hits Free Ones
Guard Howard Page ended the
season with the best fiee throw
record with a seasonal average of
.765. Page connected on 26 of 34
foul tosses. In the Ducks’ 16 Nor
thern Division games Page was
even more deadly, hitting 21 of
26, or a percentage of .808. Sec
ond place in this department went
to reserve guard Bob Hawes who
hit from the charity stripe on
32 of 42 attempts for a percen
tage of .762.
Loading rebounder of the squad
was Anderson with 147 in the
Northern Division and 254 for the
whole season. Halberg was second
with 238 grabs.
Wegner Hatchet-Man
The dubious honor of making the
most personal fouls during the
schedule went to Captain Wegner
who was whistled down for 95
Infractions. Halberg with 92 and
Anderson with 90 were not far
behind.
As a team the Ducks rolled in
1,725 points during their 27 game
slate to their opponents’ 1.710.
This gave the Oregons an average
of 66.1 talliea per game to their
foes' 65.1.
An interesting sidelight on the
team's scoring average was that
in its sixteen league games the
Ducks marked up a total of 982
points while the Webfoot oppon
ents managed to toss in 981. This
leaves Bill Borcher's team with an
average per game of 61.4 and
gives the teams who played
against the Ducks an exactly equal
average of 61.4.

means fine tobacco ... light, mild, good
tasting tobacco. Second, Luckies are ac
tually made better to taste better . . .
always round, firm, fully packed to draw
freely and smoke evenly.
So, for the enjoyment you get from
better taste, and only from better taste,
