Oregon Pavilion
May Host Playoff
Oregon's McArthur court may
be the site for the NCAA sub
regional playoff if the western
committee extends an invitation
to the University for the March
8-9 games, it was learned Thurs
day.
The Cow Palace in San Fran
cisco is the other site reportedly
being considered for the games
between San Francisco and the
Border conference champion and
Seattle university and Idaho
State.
Oregon's arena was thought to
be approved for a playoff site
by at least three of the four
schools Seattle, USF and Idaho
State. The winners of the games
will go on to the Western re
gional at Gill coliseum in Cor
vallis March 11-12.

No league title* arc on the line,
but two more hard-fought bas
ketball games are expected to
night and Saturday at Corvallis
and Eugene when the Oregin
Duck*, fighting to hold a second
place finish In the Northern Di
vision, meet the champion Ore
gon State Beavers in the season's
final series.
Bill Borcher's Webfoots wind
up their season with the two CSC
encounters, while the Orange
men will face UCLA in the
North-South PCC playoff on
March 4-5 in Corvallis. The
Staters will be gunning for a
spot In the .Western NCAA re
gional, also booked for Gill Coli
seum, the following weekend.
Gill’s five outlasted Oregon
In two thrilling games five
weeks ago by 56-53 and 56-54
scores. The first game at Eu
gene was decided only In the
flnul few seconds and It took
an overtime game to down
Oregon in the Saturday game
at Corvallis.
Oregon State has already re
tained possession of the Chan
cellor's trophy, given annually
to the winner of the OSC-Ore
gon hoop series. The Beavers
won the first two scries in 1952
and 1953, split last year and have
earned at least a split this sea
son already.
Form charts can usually be
tossed out for this slate of games,
with both teams generally rising
to the occasion and playing their
best ball of the season.
Since the first games, how
ever, the Oregon State cause
has I wen lad dered considerably
by the addition of 7’3” Swede
Holbrook, defending Nil stor
ing tltlfst, to full-time action.
Currently standing third in the
scoring nice with Washington's
Dean Parsons, the giant junior
will b« making his final hid
for the crown for this year.
Oregon's main strength, as I
usual, Is found in big Jim Los
cutoff, the 6’ 5” senior who is
second in the ND scoring totals
behind Ron Bennink of W8C but
tops in the averages. Bennink
has completed his season, though,
while Loscutoff has two games
to go.
.Max Anderson, who has al
ways had good luck in defend
ing against flalbrook, will
probably get the assignment of
guarding the Mwede both
nights. The 8’ 7" l>uck star has
been h. rival of Ifalbrook since
high school days In Portland
and has been able to hold him
down below his usual average.
Behind Halbrook, though, thej
Beaver five has many seasoned j
and usually-underrated perform
ers. This fact was demonstrated
in the first Oregon series, when
Halbrook was under a suspen
sion the first night and saw only
a quarter of play the next night.
Forward Tony Vlastelica, still
the point leader over the entire !
season, led the Staters with 24
points in the first game and little
Ron Robins dumped in a two-1
hander with seconds to go for the
overtime win.
State are Forward Jay Dean,
a rugged rebounding junior at
B’IS”; Guard Bill Toole, who
sparked the Beavers in the
Washington series; Center Tex
Whiteman, a capable “pinch
hitter” all season; (iuard-For
ward Reggie Halligan, probab
ly th«* bent-driving player the
Beavers have, and another 7
footer, Phil Khadoin.
Against this imposing array.
Borcher will use Loscutoff at
center, Anderson and Jerry Ross
at forwards, and Phil McHugh
and Howard Page at the guard
Oregon Wrestlers
On Southern Trip
Oregon's varsity wrestlers will
close out dual meet competition
this-weekend when they travel
to face San Jose Friday after
noon. Stanford Friday night, and
California Saturday afternoon.
The Ducks are back at full
strength now that Hoy Schlesaer,
far western champion, has re
turned in the 123-lb. division,
i Schlesser misaed two matches
because of a knee injury suffered
in the OSC matches two weeks
ago.
When the Ducks face San Joae
State Friday afternoon, they will
have their hands full, for the
Spartans finished second in the
Pacific coast race last year. Fri
day evening Stanford's Indians
will host the Ducks, and hold the
edge over the Webfoots because
of experience.
Saturday Bill Hammer’s mat
men will be tangling with Cali
fornia, who edged the Ducks by
»20-10 score last year, although
Oregon managed to capture four
out of the six matches.
The Oregons will return home
Sunday and then resume prac
tice in preparation for the Pa
cific Coast Intercollegiate Cham
pionshop matches March 11-12
at San Luis Obispo, Calif.

FOOD MARKET

OPEN FROM 9 A.M. Til I 11
13th at High St. Dial 4-1342
slots. This quint gave the Bea-1
vers plenty of trouble in the two I
previous games and in easily cap- '
able of turning in a pair of up- ;
nets.
Another factor in favor of Ore
gon is that the Beavers will prob
ably be looking ahead to the
playoff games with tough UCLA,
rather than concentrating wholly
on the Webfoots, figuring to
take them in stride. Their un
beaten string was shattered by ■
WSC last weekend and they no
longer have to fight to remain
undefeated.
Loscutoff and Halbrook have
never played against each oth
er except for the short time in
the second game earlier this
season and it should he quite
a meeting. The Duck stalwart
will he completing his college
career while Halhrook is at
' the peak of his season, having
dumped in over 30 points on
two recent occasions.
Finishing their collegiate ca
reers will be seniors Page and
Loscutoff, while Vlastelica,
Whiteman, Halligan, Robins,
Ron Fundingsland, Toole and
•fohnny Jarboe will be playing
their last Northern Division
game, all being seniors also.
Capacity crowds are expected
for each arena for the games.
The first two games drew 10,000
people at McArthur court and
11,500 at Gill coliseum.
In other action, the Washing
ton Huskies will pin their hopes
of a second-place finish on a
pair of wins-over the Idaho Van
dals at Moscow while they hope
Oregon takes two losses from
OSC. The UW five stands two
games back of Oregon and must
win two with the Ducks losing
two.
