    Ducks, Huskies Meet
in Crucial ND Series
Seattle basketball farm will be
treated to a pair of hoop battle*
Ki l<l«y and Saturday night* at
KdintinilHon pavilion a* high
scorlng Center* Jim Loncutoff
and Dean Parsons lead their Ore
gon and WiiNhlngton five* into
a Northern Division aeries.
Second-place In the league
standing* I* at stake, as the
third-place Huskies are two
games back of the Ducks with
a 5-7 record against the Web
foots' 7-5. A sweep by Oregon
could give them the position,
while a Husky sweep would put
off the decision until the fol
lowing week's OSC-UO and
Washington-Idaho aeries.
Scoring Hattie Due
Loscutoff and Parsons stand
1-2 in the league scoring race
and a good series by either could
mean the crown. The 6' 5” Ore
gon star has only a 12-point lead
over the 6' 8" Husky and each
has four games left.
The two teams exchanged
thrilling wins in their earlier
meetings at Kugene two weeks
ago, with Oregon taking a di-dZ
win and the Hankie* capturing a
54-52 overtime decision.
A hopeful bit of news greeted
Husky boosters this week ar
Coach Tippy Dye Indicated that
senior Guard Jerry Joh.*. ion
would be available for starting
duty. The ace defensive veternn
has been out with a knee injury
but saw some reserve action as
the Huskies pounded WSC twice
last weekend. *
Ducks Take 12
Oregon's traveling squad of 12
men left for Seattle yesterday
afternoon, and took an afternoon
workout on their arrival, on the
roster are Forwards Loscutoff.
Duckling Five
On Road Trip
Oregon'* Frosh cagcrs head
noi th today to take on two
strong Washington foes. To
night they meet Clark JC's Pen
guin* at Vancouver, and Satur
day they move to Longview to
face the Fernandez Loggers.
In earlier encounters at Mc
Arthur court, the Ducklings
dumped the Penguins, 67-56, but
lost a 68-66 thriller to Fernan
dez.
Clark we* paced against the
Frosh by Ken Koydstun, jump
ing-jack southpaw guard
whose aggressive floor game
and accurate shooting eye were
hlg factors in giving the Pen
guins a 42-27 lend at one point
in the second half.
But Clark’s usual big scorer,
6'5” Fletcher Frazier, was ice
cold in that game, and if the
lanky center gets hot, as he did
in the Penguin's 56-51 bouncing
of Centralia JC Monday, the
Frosh could have a real battle
on their hands. Frazier collected
25 points on eight field goals
and nine free tosses.
The Ducklings will be out to
avenge a real heartbreaker when
they meet the Loggers. Guard
Boi) Ball sank two free throws
in the last seconds to win the
game for Fernandez, and also
scored 19 points for the game.
Big Paul Tuchardt will lead
the Frosh Into action. The 6’5"
center-forward did an effective
Job holding Frazier down in
the previous game, and he
leads Duckling scorers and re
bounders with 181 points and
121 swipes.
Tuchardt will start with Bob
Ayre at the forward slots in the
weekend series. Hal Duffy will
hold down the center slots while
speedboys Wimp Hastings and
Wendy Hasor operate at guards.
Flay Ball, Jerry Rohs, Ed Bing

The Liucka will be faced with

Ex-Duck Lineman
In Vancouver Fold
Chet Daniels, a 230-pound ex
Orcgon guard, signed a profes
sional football contract Wednes
day with the British Columbia
Lions of the Canadian league's
western division. A member of
the PCC championship team of
1948, Daniels achieved all-Coast
rating in 1949 and 1900 with the
Ducks.
The signing of Daniels, whose

••red. In the first Washington
«amcH, and that is to stop the
' heavy scoring of Parsons and
the two forwards, Jim Coshow
and Kail Voegtlin. And the Hus
; ky guards have been coming up
with some good scoring nights
| too, with Doyle Perkins and little
j Don Sunitsch leading the way.
Borcher is expected to stick
with his usual first five of Ross,
: Loarutoff, Anderson, Page and
McHugh as is Dye with Coshow,
Voegtlin, Parsons, Perkins, and
Johnson. But both mentors used
! plenty of substitutes in the first
series, and may have to again.
Nelson Ready
A possible ace-in-thc-hole for
1 Washington is Cary Nelson, the
7' sophomore center. He tanked
18 points in a single Idaho game
last weekend and may be ready
for more action against Oregon.
KVAL-TV, Eugene’s television
station, will telecast the Satur
day night game direct from Se
