HOME TEAM ADVANTAGE
The Beavers and Trojans will
probably go into the games rated
as even-stephen with the scales
tipping slightly in the Californians’
favor because of the fact that they
are playing in front of a home
crowd. In the 29 playoffs of the
past between the Southern and
Northern Division winners, the
home team has come out victorious
QaX 22 occasions.
f.JSoth teams have played rather
unpredictable ball duj-ing their sea
con so far and both had to come
from behind in their league races
tp earn the playoff berth. The Bea
vers trailed the Oregon Ducks
tlifough half the schedule before
finally taking over the N.D. lead
and the Trojans lagged behind
UCLA and California until the last
eefies of the season when they
downed the Bruins twice to win
the title by one game over their
surprised rivals.
OSC TALLER
Oregon State will floor a much
taller team than their opponents
but the host team w-ill have a defi
nite speed advantage. Two of the
key players in the series will be
the two opposing centers, Swede
Halbrook of OSC and Roy Irvin of
Southern Cal. Halbrook, with a 20
point plus per game average, was
picked as a Northern Division all
star. Irvin, with an average only
slightly less than Halbrook's, was
picked as a member of the South
ern Division star team. All this
points to tremendous battle of two
of the best pivot men in the busi
ness.
Coach Gill of the Beavers an
I nounced Thursday that he intended
I to start Tex Whiteman and Jay
i Dean at the forward posts; Hal
brook at center; and Bill Toole and
Ron Fundingsland at the guard
spots.

Barney Holland Gains
Spot on All-Star Five
Oregon State's Wade II al
brook and Washington State's
Ron Rennink were unanimous
choices for the Northern Divi
sion all-star basketball team
selected Wednesday.
The coast commissioner’s of
fice also announced that the
other three positions on the
team went to Dean Parsons of
Washington, Bob Garrison of Ida
ho, and Barney Holland of Oregon.

Division coaches picked Ed Hal- j
berg of Oregon and Karl Voegtlin
of Washington at the forward posi
tions; Dwight Morrison of Idaho at
center; and Ken Wegner of Oregon |
and Tom Flynn of Idaho at the
guard posts. Ron Robins and Jay

Schedule Series
The Northern Division basket
ball race will come to a close this
weekend at Seattle when the
Washington Huskies and the
Washington State Cougars tangle
in a two game series.
When the Huskies of coach Tip
py Dye take to the maple boards
to oppose Jack Friel's Cougars
the two fives will be battling to
see which one ends up in the di-1
vision cellar.
At the present time WSC Is in |
last place with four wins and ten
defeats. Washington isn't far
ahead with five wins and nine
losses. One win for the Huskies
will assure them of not ending up
in the conference basement but
two straight wins for the visiting
Cougars would give the Pullman
hoopsters the fourth place spot
ahead of their cros3-state rivals.
In their first series of the season !
at Pullman, WSC won the first
game 56-48 but lost the second
fray to the Huskies 54-44.
The Cougars will bank most of
their hopes for a sweep of the two
games on the shoulders of their
high-scoring forward, Ron Ben- i
nink, who will be out to continue
his scoring antics in the season
finals. Bennink has a per game av
erage of more than 18 points.
To counter Bennink, Washing
ton has two outstanding perform
ers in the persons of Dean Parsons
and Karl Voegtlin who will at
tempt to squelch the visitors’
hopes.
Both teams have very poor rec
ords for the season as a whole
and it is certain that both of them
will be out to salvage some blaze
of glory in their final two con
tests. A double victory for either
quintet would ease the sting of
past defeats for that team.
