Webfoot Cagers Await
Crucial Series in Seattle
With all hands recovered from
injury and seasoned by a tough
series with the pesky Idaho Van
dals, Oregon's hoop performers
move into Seattle this weekend
for a pair of games with Tippy
Dye's fast-improving Huskies.
The two teams split an ear
lier series at McArthur Court
in a set of down-to-the-wire
thrillers. Washington edged
out an overtime the first night,
54-52, and the Wetofoots re
turned the compliment with a
64-63 win the following eve
ning.
This past weekend the Ducks
lost an upset decision to Idaho on
Friday by a ' surprising 65-50
count. They made up for it on
Saturday, though, with a re
sounding 70-44 win. while UW
was blasting Washington State
twice, 76-40 and 63-49.
Traditionally very tough In the
friendly confines of Hec Ed
mundson pavilion, the Husky five
is shooting for a second-place
finish in the Northern Division
race. They stand two games be
hind Oregon with a 5-7 mark
to the Webfoots’ 7-5. A sweep
by Dye's forces could throw the
two teams into a tie.
Oregon has a home - and
home series remaining with
unbeaten Oregon Stutc and
the Huskies must yet travel
to Moscow for two contests
with the bothersome Vandals.
The Webfoots previously lost
two to the Staters, while the
Huskies split with Idaho.
The Ducks will have a healthy
set of regulars, in all probability,
to throw at the Huskies. Forwnrd

If you would cut an X in your arm each time that you went
hunting or fishing, we’ll bet that you’d never die of loss of
blood. It’s just not the nature of our modern, speede'd-up civil
ization to allow us to spend much time in the outdoors.
A century ago. with fish and game in their back yards,
the pioneers didn’t need to go far to get unexcelled sport.
Nowadays you usually have to go quite a way to get good
hunting and fishing.
Because of these civilization difficulties, no longer can out
door-men be made the hard way. We can’t spend enough time
in the woods to become as expert a woodsman as our fore
fathers were—but there is another way.
Take to the Books
In this country there are a lucky few, who, having a talent
for writing, and the desire to be in the outdoors, make their
living by writing about their outdoor experiences. It is from
those men that we can learn many valuable lessons that would
otherwise take us a lifetime to acquire. Through reading, we
can take to the trails of the wild with these experts.
There are books on almost every wildlife subject, from
varmint hunting to striped bass fishing. The University
library has quite a few outdoor volumes, mostly on stack
deck five. They do not have too many new books, though,
so we would like to recommend a few.
If you’re a deer hunter, try The American Deer Hunter, by
Francis Sell. If bird shooting is your passion, Scattergunning,
by Ray Holland, is-right down your alley. For over-all cover
age on all hunting topics, Ted Trueblood’s Hunter’s Hand
book will give you a lot of facts.
Fishing Books Plentiful
For the Isaak Walton disciples, the literature is as abund
art as it is for the nimrod. Trout, by Ray Bergman, will en
dow you with a great amount of knowledge of Oregon’s pri
mary game fish. If you’re a fly fishing purist, The Practical
Fly Fisherman, by Field and Stream’s fishing editor, A. J.
McClane, is worth its weight in grey hackles. Another good
bet for Oregonians is Enos Bradner’s book, Northwest Angl
ing.
If you’re pinching pennies, like most college students,
and can’t afford a library, spend a couple of bucks for a
magazine subscription. Most of the leading outdoor maga
zines are well worth the money.
When you get those books or magazines, don’t put them
on a shelf to collect dust—read them. The other day we were
watching a fellow fly tier put the finishing touches on a dry
fl. When he was finished, we turned critic and questioned the
ability of the tier. The hackle was reversed, and the tail was
much too short to produce good floating.
Reading Necessary
He informed us that he never knew that the tail wa* sup
posed to be as long as the fly, nor that the hackle was to be
tied with the shiny side forward. Upon further examination,
we found that he had one of the best fly tying books available,
but had never read it. lie just looked at the pictures of the
flies.
Where will you get the time to read those books or maga
zines*? That’s easy, just spend one less night each week at your
favorite “tea” counter; and you’ll have a dozen books read by
the end of the winter.
