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.

Sigs gain finals; SAM wins
By WAYNE HOBSON
Emerald Sports Writer
Sigma Chi advanced to the fi
nals and Sigma Alpha Mu to the
semi-finals of the IM football
playoffs as a result of games
played Tuesday.
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.
