By TOM CHAPMAN •Kmerulil Sports Writer There’s atellow bv tlve oatne of Allen Roth who is heail of the statistics department for the Hrooklyn Dodgers. At tlie conclusion of each baseball season, Mr. Roth sits down with the box scores of 154 panics, a pencil, and reams of paper to figure out things like: Puke Snider batted left handed 21o times with chewing gum behind his ear, and Sal Maglie threw 34 spitballs at opponents who once played for Keokuk, Iow a, in the l hree-h.ye 1 .vague. Nevertheless, it is a job that uncovers the facts, and I'suallv explains wliv the Dodgers lost, or why they won. It even works with the Oregon \\ ehtoot’s 1956-57 score be >ok. Free Throw Troubles With the ink dry on 11 games, three of which the Pucks have won. the figures reveal certain clues to success and failure. For instance. Oregon has fired 274 free throws in the 11 games, made 151 of these for a percentage of .551. Their opponents, on the other hand, shot 55S charity throws, scoring 227 points for an average of .672. The difference here is 76 points, for the opponents. These same opponents have a grand total of 689 points, so Oregon fouls have accounted for 33 per cent of their foe’s scoring. Oregon has scored 535 points for the season, and 28 per cent of these'points have been from the foul line. Int Half 2nd Half Total Average Total Points Total Points Oregon 264 324 588 53.5 Opponents 330 359 689 62.6 Oregon has scored 60 points or more only once in the 11 games, and five times, have scored 20 or le-> points in the lust hall. Ducks Tough on Defense (>n the brighter siile: Remove from the ledger those three drubbings from Portland. Oklahoma City, and Cali fornia in which the opponents tallied 7l>. 74, and 71 points and the Ducks have been consistently tough on defense. This would give the other eight opponents a 58.1 offensive average, not a huge t-»tnl for this top competition. Webfoot followers, who had read about those “icy-first halfs" but hadn’t seen one for a month, got a first look la-t weekend against Idaho’s Vandals. Both nights, the Ducks went to the dressing room with deficits ranging from eight to 14 points. These low-scoring first-halts are quite notice able in player statistics. Look at this: Player Franklin Duffy Kuykendall Bingham Hastings Morgan Moore Valentine Ronquillo McHugh Tuchardt First Half FG FT TP 30-14 26-14 5- 2 13- 7 6- 0 15 -8 6- 2 4- 4 1- 0 2- 1 0- 0 25 14 16 10 8 13 10 2 1 2 0 64 42 34 27 16 34 22 8 2 5 0 Second Half FG FT TP 31-20 26-17 5- 4 16- 7 16- 8 13- 7 18- 9 4- 3 18-11 8- 5 8- 7 Total 21 22 19 12 16 6 8 3 2 1 1 62 61 42 31 40 19 25 9 15 7 9 126 103 76 58 56 53 47 17 17 12 9 I'.leven players have scored at least once, hut only two! of these. Charlie Franklin and F.li Morgan, have tallied* more in the first half. Free throw percentage is notably bet-, ter in the second half also, .589 to .481. 'Six Different Teams' Head Coach Steve Belko has used si* different starting| combinations in these 11 games, the most popular picks be ing Charlie Franklin, Bill Moore, Hal Duffy. Wimp Hast ings and Bud Kuykendall who have started four games, win ning once. Franklin, Duffy, Hastings, Kuykendall and Jvl Bingham have started three times, and this combination has yet to win. Duffy is the only Webfoot to start in every game, j Individual statistics: FG FT FT" REB PF 'll* \vg. 133-46'64-34 .531 114 25 126 11.5 107-37 49 29 .592 134 40 103 9.4 115-35 10- 6 .600 58-22 29-14 .483 Franklin Duffy Kuykendall Bingham Hastings Morgan Moore Valentine Ronquillo Lundell G 11 11 11 8 11 10 10 7 7 .348 McHugh Costi 4 2 67-24 23- 8 50-19 28-15 .5-36 55-18 24-11 .458 26- 58-7 .875 16- 3 19-11 .579 18- 64-2 .500 14- 3 10- 6 .600 4- 0 0- 0 .000 40 19 33 12 22 17 26 29 31 23 6 12 8 10 1 5 8 10 6 0 76 58 56 53 47 17 17 14 12 0 6.9 7.3 5.1 5.3 4.7 2.4 2.4 2.3 3.0 0.0 McClure Drubs Young In IM Basketball Play McClure Hull rolled tip one of lho biggest scoring totals of the year's IM basketball play in de feating Young to highlight Fri day's intramural action.

Hale Kane topped Campbell Club 29-18, and Theta Chi blasted the ATO's 25-9. Al pha Hall forfeited to Cherney. McClure Raps Young McClure's 'A' squad roared off to a 9-0 first-quarter advantage anil was never headed as it rolled up a scoring output matched on ly by Delta ITpsilun in IM play this season. McClure showed unusual team work and ability lor a freshman team, and they fed their big. agile post man Gregg Altenhofen to the tune of 20 points. Alten hofen. an outstanding end on last fall's flush football squad, was a tower of strength on the boards and demonstrated plenty of basketball "savvy." Two more McClure men scored in double figures. Mike Zervis firing them iu from outside for ten points and Lance Tibbies tipping and jump shooting for another ten. McClure led dl-6 at halftime and 3f>-7 at the third-quarte: stop. Les Koss paced the losers with six points.

Fiji's Edge DU's Phi Ganuna Delta ‘B’ team trailed throughout the first three quarters of action, then came on strong in the final pe riod to nose out Delta Upsilon. The Fiji’s tallied 11 points in that quaiter while holding their opponents to a lone basket. Little guard Don Metz and forward “Doc" MacDonald hit early for the DU’s, and their team led 12-3 at ^halftime. The teams nearly matched baskets in the third quarter, but DU seemed to fall apart in the final stanza. Forward Bob Steinmetz hit two hook shots for the Fiji’s to make it 18-20 and then 20-all. Then Bob Baumgardner connect ed on a pusher and the Fiji’s were ahead for keeps. Steinmetz led all the scorers with nine points, while Metz got seven for DU.

Stafford Tops Sheldon A smooth working Stafford Hall class A basketball team connected from all angles Friday afternoon to sweep to a 37-23 victory over a stubborn Sheldon I-Iall entry. The winners, employing an ef fective fast bleak attack most of the way, led. from the start and steadily increased the mar gin thereafter. Stringing along with its start mg rombin.'itlon until the waning momenta of tin* third quarter, the Stafford quintet waa equal ly successful under the bucket and outside. Sandy Fraser, combining a variety of hook and Jump shots in close, was the big gun for Stafford with ten points On the other side of the ledger. It was ptimarily. the two hand set shots of guard Chuck Inskeep that kept Sheldon in the ball game. Inskeep also racked up ten di gits to tie Fraser for high point honors The triumph was Stafford's second in as many outings and kept them right at the top of the list of class A contenders.

Oddly enough. M. was guard Jack Crabtree, making his "A" debut, who proved to he the big difference. Crabtree notched eight digits, six of them coming in the fust quaiter, to nail down high point honor* for the con test. The two teams battled to a 6 6 standoff in the fiist quarter but after that the losers found the Hale Kane backboard advan tage too much to cope with.
