Belko evaluates hoop prospects for season By RON BI EL Emerald Sports Writer Oregon head basketball coach, Steve BeiKo, greeted a large turn out for the opening day of prac tice last week, including six re turning lettermen, four of whom were starters last year, the nu cleus of an undefeated freshman squad, and six junior college transfers. Belko. looking forward to the coining season, said “Prospects, as far as depth is concerned, are .much better than they have been. We have a little more height and, although it might be an in experienced squad, from a poten tial standpoint it is better than in past years." Returning lettermen include seniors Chuch Rask, Dale Her ron, Stu Robertson, and Jerry Anderson, and juniors Denny Strickland and Butch Kimpton. Leon Hayes and Pudgy Hunt are holdovers who did not let ter. Moving up from last year’s outstanding frosh squad are Glenn Moore, Charles Warren, John Mack, Wally Knecht, Jolm Stevens, Dave Robinson, and Dar rel Brandt. Transfers are junior Jim Gra nada from Bakersfield JC and sophomores Nick Robertson. Boise JC; Artist Gilbert, San Di ego JC; Bill Simmons, San Fran cisco JC; Dave Ring. Harvey Illi nois JC; and Roman Jones. The Duck hoop mentor re marked, “We have four or five sophomores who will push the juniors and seniors for starting berths. Because of the inexperi ence in some key positions, we may be slow starting." However, he added, “This - year is the first time since I've been here that we have had a squad that shows real promise for the future.” ‘‘We have been working on de fense. feeling that we have to im prove in this area for a success ful season. There is a fine atti tude. the boys have worked hard, and were conditioning themselves before practice began.” The Webfoots open their tough schedule December 4 against Fresno State College in Eugene. All early season games gain add ed importance because of the fact that the Ducks are no longer members of the defunct Pacific Coast Conference, and, therefore, all contests count towards the NCAA standings for tournament qualification.

The Sigs defeated Beta Theta Pi 6-2, and the Sammies whomp ed Sheldon 20-6. SAM will meet Delta Upsllon today at 4 on the IM field to de termine Sigma Chi’s opponent in Thursday’s championship game. Sigs gain finals' The Sigma Chi-Beta struggle wai as exciting and hard fought as any game played this year in IM action. Both teams opened the game with first downs, but could not move the ball any further. Near the end of the first quarter, Sig ma Chi quarterback John Schwartz completed a 40-yard pass to Ron O’Rourke on the Beta 20. The Betas held, could not move the ball themselves, and punted to the Sigma Chi 30. Schwartz then hit Dick Manil la with aerials good for 50 and 20 yards, the second pass scoring the game's lone TD. The Betas fought back, and were marching the ball downfield when the first half ended. A n exchange of intercepted passes began the second half. Jim Josephson snagged an errant Be ta pass, and A1 Mills caught a Sigma Chi toss. After his interception. Mills took over the quarterback du ties for Beta, and passed 55 yards to Mac Carmichael on the Sig 20 yard line. Unhappily for Beta, this pass only set up a safety, not a touchdown. O'Rourke intercepted a Mills pass for the Sigs on their own six yard line. Sig quarter back Schwartz was downed on the next play in his end zone by Gene Estes for the safety which was the Betas only score of the afternoon. The Betas again moved the ball into Sig territory, but were halted on downs on the 25, from where the Sigs were forced to punt after being unable to move the ball. Beta then took possession on its own 40, and, with only two min utes remaining in the game, be gan to seriously challenge Sigma Chi’s 6-2 lead. A third-down pass from Mills to Carmichael went for 40 yards to the 20 yard line. However, this fine gain was partially nullified when Beta was called for offen sive holding on the next play. With time running out, the Betas had four downs to tra vel 40 yards If they were to defeat the Sigs. They almost did It, but Steve Cook allowed a fourth down aerial into the r end zone to go through hi* arm*. The Beta passtn gattack fea tured short passes from Mills to Hugh Springer, Cook, and Nick Utt, his three favorite receivers, although he tfid throw two im portant long passes. The Sigs re lied mainly on Schwarts's ability to throw the long pass, and the good protection he received for their offensive strength. Chris Taafc and Manilla’s rush ing of the Beta passer, especially during the last series of downs, was instrumental in the victory. Josephson played a fine defen sive game for Sigma Chi, also, knocking down many Beta pass es. The Beta defeat was no fault of Berkeley Holman and Kates, who played an outstanding game on the defensive line for the Be tas. SAM wins Sigma Alpha Mu needed one half of Its game to get started, but once started, they coasted to a 20-6 victory over Sheldon. Jerry Lyslo led Sheldon to a 6-0 first half lead with his fine play. He intercepted a Sammie pass early in the first quarter, and returned it to the SAM 17. He then guided Sheldon to Its only touchdown of the game, paalng alx yard* to Dennis Dior enfield for the tally. The PAT attempt waa no good, and Shel don held lta lead for the balance of the half. The Sammlea aolved the Shel don defenae In the aecond half, as Nell Goldachmldt, their stellar pans receiver, got behind hla de fender, and caught three aec ond half touchdown paaaea. Gil O 1 m a n paaaed to Gold achmldt on a Bleeper play which haa worked well all aeaaon, for 50 yarda and the flrat SAM TD. The Nammlcs added the win ning and Inaurance touchdown* In the fourth quarter on a two yard pass from Obnan to Gold schmidt, and a 15 yarder from Ooblrn* to Goldachmldt. Olman hit Goldachmldt for the con veralon after the laat TU. Dick Katz and Dave Rogoway helped the Sammlc victory with their blocking on the offenae. Harv Haaaon and Ron Lltt were Impreaaive on defenae for SAM. Jerry Lyalo'a paaalng the bright apot of the game for Shel don. aa hia paaaea were generally on target, but not alwaya caught. Purdue University haa been tough on Notre Dame in the paat few yeara, winning four of alx football gamea played.
