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:

'Six Different Teams'

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

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.

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.

gits to tie Fraser for high point
honors

second in as many outings and
kept them right at the top of
