Oregon Coach Bill Borcher haa
been working hia chargea hard
thia week in preparation for the
vital OSC aerlea In order to
sharpen up on mlatakea which
popped up In laat weekend’a
gamea. Work on defense haa
come under apeclal acrutiny in
perfecting waya to stop OSC's
high-scoring front line of Jay
Dt;an, Tony Vlaatelica and Wade
Halbrook.
Vlaatelica la the Beavers’ lead
ing scorer for the year and his
33 points against Washington in
last Saturday's game was termed
by Oregon Freshman Coach Don
Kirsch as one of the greatest
exhibitions of shooting ever seen.
The 7’ 3" Halbrook is a doubt
ful starter at center for the Bea
vers after Orange Coach Slats
Gill suspended the giant center
earlier in the week in disciplin
ary action, presumably because
hn didn’t attend any cl aw.sen for
two days.
Heaton Records Same
Comparing tbe two teams, both
now have an 8-8 season’s record
with nearly-identical offensive
and defensive averages for con
ference play, although OSC is
the Coaat's top defensive team
for the whole season so far. Both
clubs average about 6’ 4” with
their usual starting lineups, al
though Hal brook is the tallest
player on either team with sec
ond-string center Phil Shadoin
scaling 7’.
Individually, the Ducks have
an edge boasting the league’s
top scorer and rebounder in For
ward Jim Loscutoff, who has hit
for nearly 20 points-per-game
with a rebound average of 16.2.
Max Anderson is runner-up in
the league in rebounds with near
ly 12 per game while Guard
Howard Page is the highest-scor
ing outside man in the league.

giant, Wade Hallirook, will be watching action from the standi

Halbrook Tops Scorers
For Oregon State, Halbrook'
I lea/1 a the club in conference
! scoring with 60 points in four
games followed by Vlastelica
with 51. Vlastelica has a 13.1
average for the full season to
top that department. Dean and
Halbrook are leading the Bea
vers in conference rebounds with
nearly nine per game each.
Possibly three juniors will open
for Gill tonight on the senior
dominated Oregon State team,
depending on whether Halbrook
or Shadoin, a sophomore, opens
at center. Both Halbrook and
Dean are in their second year on
the Oregon State varsity as is 6’
3” Larry Paulus from Salem, a
recent addition to the Beaver
first five at guard. Vlastelica
will hold down a forward post
for OSC at game time while the
other guard spot will be occupied
by little Hon Robins of Coos Bay.
