Ducklings Schedule
Series With Rooks
Duck Coach Kirsch throws his
once-beaten Ducklings against
a squad fresh from their fifth
victory in a row tonight at Mc
Arthur court. Slated for 5:45. the
preliminary battle will pit the
Oregon Frosh against Oregon
State's Rooks, who whipped
Clark junior college. 66-63, Wed
nesday for their fifth win in as
many starts.
Dave Gambee, 6' 6" ex-Corval
lis high star, paced the Staters
with 22 points to bring his five
game total to 106. Gambee is the
man who the Frosh will „ be at
tempting to hold down, but
Kirsch has also expressed worry
about other members of the Rook
squad.
Haynes Hits for Rooks
Gary Haynes, standout guard
from The Dalles, has been pep
pering the hoop regularly, and
Frank Zaniker and Bill Freder
icks are top-notch rebounders.
Zaniker performed at West Linn.
and Bill Fredericks was all-state
for Milwaukie’s state champs.
Kirsch has been drilling his
crew hard on their defense, and
has "addl'd a couple of things
to the offense which should
improve post play.” According
to Kirsch. the Ducklings still
need to coordinate tlielr offen
sive patterns before they cun
realize their full potential.
Forward Bob Farris won him
self a starting spot through his
great improvement both offen
sively and defensively. In his
first starting role against West
fir Athletic club, the 6’ 2” ex
Lakeview performer dropped in
18 counters to lead the team's
scoring. .
Wanaka to Start
Starting at the other forward
post for the Ducklings will be
Dave Wanaka, second in both
scoring and rebounding only to
Paul Tuchardt, the team's spark
plug at center. Wanaka has 31
points and 27 rebounds in three
games to big Paul's 60 and 36.
Guards will l>o Wendy Kn
sor, whose deadly outside shot
lius piled up 22 points ill! on
field goals, and Wimp Hust
ings, bull-hawking sharpshoot
er from Bandon.
The Ducklings have a record
of two wins and one loss. They
whipped the Portland Police and
the Linfield Jayvees easily, then
dropped a 65-63 decision to West
fir.

Crucial OSC Tilt
By Jerry Claussen
SDX Publicity Men
The biggest contest of the
winter sports season will be
fought Saturday at Corvallis
when Oregon’s Sigma Delta Chi
team of upstanding journalists
takes on the lowly SDX’ers from
the Northern Branch in a rip
snorting basketball game.
Keturn Match Slated
The clash will be the first of
a championship series of two
games between the ancient rivals
'DucA*7'MIC&&
By Jerry Claussen
Emerald Sports Writer
It's the big weekend of the season for the Oregon Ducks
tonight and Saturday as they face the league-leading Oregon
State Beavers. The outcome of this series will pretty well
decide what kind of race is in store for the last half of the
Northern Division in the next five weeks.
Both teams are as ready for a vital pair of games as any
two clubs could be and. discounting their rather so-so
season’s record they are two of the best teams in the coun
try at the moment. Together, they have won 10 straight
games in tough conference play in the last two weeks.
Although a lot of different situations could develop in the
last half of the season, as witness Oregon's two losses to
Idaho plus one to WSC last year to drop out of titlt conten
tion late in the season, here’s the significance of this week
end’s games.
First of all, we’ll look at what will happen if the two teams
split, a likely possibility because of the similarity of the clubs.
This would give Oregon six wins and two losses with Oregon
State retaining the league lead with five wins and one loss.
In this event Oregon would be faced with the task of winning
at least three from Washington and the two from Idaho here
to keep up with OSCs likely last-half performance.
The Beavers figure to take at least one out of the two
from Washington at Seattle, three out of four from Idaho,
and the remaining pair from WSC. Counting the split this
weekend, the Orangemen would then have an 11-3 record
going into the final series with Oregon. The Ducks would
have to play exceptional ball to roll up better than a 10-4
by then. The Webfoots would then have to take both of the
final games from OSC to win the title, a tough assignment
for anybody.
Of course, if the Beavers manage to win both of the week
end's games, Oregon would be faced with the near impos
sible task of winning at least five out of the six games they
have before the next OSC series to even stay within one
game of Slats Gill’s defending champions. The improving
Webfoots could do it by beating Idaho twice, a strong proba
bility, but would also have to take all four from the slow
starting Washington Huskies.
But don't forget that the Ducks could beat the Beavers in
both games this weekend as easy as not. Man for man, Ore
gon has every bit as good a starting five as the Orangemen,
even if it’s generally hard to tell who OSC will start at any
given moment. If that happens, the Webfoots will be in the
driver’s seat and the Beavers have the pressure on them to
come back in the second half of the season.
A lot might depend on whether big Wade Halbrook will
be persuaded to mend his ways before the game tonight.
The big OSC center got susupended for not going to
classes earlier in the week and has remained a question
mark since.
This has made Oregon Coach Bill Borcher’s planning for
the series difficult since he had to work on a varying defense
depending on whether Swede plays or not. But the Ducks
are ready for anything after their unusual series with Idaho
last week and Oregon State will have to play its best possible
game to win even one. Good luck, Ducks!

and Oregon State's four-day,
four-page rag. The second game
will be played In February when
the Brass Hallers sneak down to
Eugene the day of the OSC
Oregon game In McArthur court,
Feb. 26.
The local Rhacrats have been
working hard in preparation for
the headliner tomorrow, thetr
biggest problem having been to
find enough players to go against
the toughics from Corvallis,
coached by Fred “Clasp Her"
Zwahlen. .Since the senior mem
bers of the organization have
come up with the best excuses,
The Oregon club will have to go
along with a Junior-dominated
lineup.
Rice to Star
The Shacrat teams will be
composed of such sterling ath
letes as stringbean Gordon Rice
from an unknow-n town in South
ern Oregon, leading scorer; Sam
Vahey who gets more activity
points by playing the married
and out-of-condition pair of Jerry
Claussen and Bob Robinson at
guards, the flashy Gordon Jones
at forward, and Jerry Harrell,
the new editor of the local scan
dal sheet. The team has no coach,
all the player* being stars.
Expected to represent the Ag
gie aggregation who were hit
hard by the loss of five-year vet
eran “Kupie'’ Davis, are Clifford
Y. Kuhlman, Jackson R. Rickard,
James Z. Lattie, Johnathan X.
Callarman. Tamlson Hampton
Moore. Duane I. Bodtken. Dick
"Dimples’' Coyner, and perhaps
a certain center recently re
