Oregon’s varsity hasketballers
embark on a three game road
tour into Idaho, Washington and
Portland before returning home
a week from Saturday.
Tonight the Ducks will bo at
Moscow, Idaho, facing a new and
Interesting Idaho Vandal quintet.
THE VANDALS finished next
to last in the now defunct Pacific
(’oast Conference last year when
they posted a 6-10 record. Only
Washington State and the Ducks
were below them.
This year the Moscovltes will
be interesting to watch In more
than one respect.
Last years starting five, for
one thing, is largely depleted,
with the guard Waylcn Coleman,
Jon Liveious, B. J. Schaeffer and
big Jim Prestel gone from the
ranks.
GONE ALSO Is colorful Har
lan Hodges, whose basketball pro
ductions, although not always
winning, were always among the
most colorful on the coast.
In Hodges' place at the Vandal
school is Dave Struck, a man
with plenty of ideas himself.
Strack's Jdb will be largely a re
building one this year with four
fine starters gone from last year's
11-15 club.
Brightest hopes on the Moscow
campus center around two active
young guards, sophomore Gary \
Floan and a reserve from last
year, Joe King.
THE IM CKS dropped both
contests to the Vandals last year,
bowing 64-58 at Mac Court and ;
81-75 at Moscow.
So far in the campaign the
Vandals have shown spurts of
real class bouncing back from a
close early season loss to Port
lands' dangerous Pilots to route
the same Portland club 63-45 in
the Far West Clauful
Also In the tourhejr, the Van
dal's bowed to eventual winner,
host Oregon State, by one slim
point, 49-48.
The Vandals are far from a po
lished crew yet have shown
sparks of real promise and must
always be considered dangerous
at home.
SATURDAY EVENING the
Duc ks travel ten miles across the
border Into Cougar country to
engage Washington States po
tent crew for tho third time this
year.
Both previous encounters have
resulted in resounding wins for
the Ducks, 62-48 last Monday

missed competing because of an
injury. He is in fine shape for
tomorrow, however.
KKHIDES WILSON, at 147
pounds the Ducks have a good
man in Don Hoiness who gained
a third in last year’s PCI tour
ney.
Both the Ducks and Beavers
are sending some outstanding
freshman wrestlers to Mac Court.
The Ducks have Layton Fergu
son, last year's 147 pound state
champ, wrestling at 157 and
Steve Barnett who won the Nor
thern California heavyweight ti
tle. Mike Streeter at 167 pounds
is another top-flight frosh grap
pler.
The CSC Rooks have entered
two former high school cham
pions. They are Doug Rambo at
157 and Bob Stiles at 191.
ALL IN A LI., Saturday’s ac
tion will feature plenty of tough,
exciting matches with the lai^e
number of champions and near
champions that are competing.
Toughest competition will prob
ably occur in the 130, 147, 167,
and heavyweight divisions where
there are many grapplers of out
standing merit.
night, at Mac Court and 63-4S in
the Far West Classic at Corval
lis three weeks ago.
The Cougars finished third in
the Classic, edging Idaho by two
points.
AM LOCAL. FANS discovered
last Monday at Mac Court, the
Cougars are big, not Just vertical
ly but horizontally as well. They
can be, and were Monday night, a
rough team on the boards from
time to time.
They are a young squad, big
and aggressive. One national
sports publication nas even gone
so far as to pick them as the
dark horse candidate to take the
honors In the northwest this year.
The biggest reason this pre
diction has not become a reality
so far is that the experience is
Just not there yet.
GONE FROM LAST YEAR’S
10-16 squad that finished in a
cellar tie in the PCC with Oregon,
is spark plug guard Jim Ross, the
team's high scorer and Mert Ken
nedy and Dick Axleson.
Make no mistakes about it
though. The Cougars are bigger
this year and should be tougher
on the boards than anything Tie
Ducks faced last year from Pull
man.
The Cougar atartera will prob
ably be Dwight Damon and Terry
Ball at guards, 6-5 Frank Reed
and 6-6 Charlie Sella at forwarda
and 6-7 John Marria, a two year
letterman, at center.
HKIJX, the teama leading
acorer, dumped In 11 pointa Mon
day evening and Reed, hia 6-5
running mate, banked 10.
Thla will be the aame five that
the Cougara atarted against the
Ducka In the laat two encountera.
It'a a big aquad scaling 6-5 on the
starting rank.
The records, if at all reliable
should promise an easy Oregon
win. This may not be the case.
The advantage of experience and
home court surroundings are rid
ing in the Cougars’ favor.
OTHER BOYS to watch on
this Cougar club are 6-6 sopho
more Bill McKenzie, who two
years ago led Grant High of Port
land to the Oregon State A-l fi
nals here at Eugene, and 5-9 Nick
August, flaahy junior guard.
Coach Steve Bilko takes a rea
sonably healthy Webfoot squad
on its third road trip of the sea
son, the only big question mark
being star center Glenn Moore.
OREGON'S LANKY (8-5) guard Denny Strickland aims a care
ful eye toward the bucket in anticipation of tonight's opening
road encounter with Idaho’s dangerous Vandals. Strickland carries
a fl point per game scoring average into tonight’s contest.

Nebraska football coach Bill
Jennings, a former Oklahoma as
sistant, has refused to comment
on charges that he “blew the
whistle" on a special fund for
Oklahoma football players.
Yesterday Oklahoma was put
on indefinite probation by the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Associ
ation because of the fund. The
NCAA says the probation will
stand until accounts of the fund
are produced.
THK FUND was administered
by Arthur Wood, on accountant
in Oklahoma City. Wood has ab
solutely refused to surrender his
records to either the University
or NCAA officials. Wood said he
would not show the records for
various internal revenue reasons.
The accountant said yesterday
that Jennings knew of the fund
and must have reported it to the
NCAA. In New York, NCAA se
cretary Walter Byers commented
that Jennings, “has given testi
mony to the council and we have
heard both sides of the case.”
Jennings told newsmen. "I
have said and will say nothing
but 'no comment’ to anyone.”

A Carpenter Without His Hamme
— or a surgeon without his
scalpel — is something like
a student without his book.
For books are the basic tools
of the student’s trade. Noth
ing has ever replaced the
professor in the classroom,
and nothing has ever re
placed the main tool of teach
ing and learning—the book.
You may forget, but your
books won’t. At 4:00 a.m. be
fore your exams, your pro
fessors are getting their
much needed rest. But your
books are working with you
—that is—if you have your
own books.
Presumably you are in col
lege because you want to
learn. Your books are your
tools. Don’t be like the car
penter with a borrowed ham
mer who must finish his
work at the convenience of
the man who owns a ham
mer!
