Ducks Face Stanford in Pair The Stanford Indiana and the Oregon Ducks meet tonight in the first of a pair of basketball games. The second game will be played Saturday. The series marks the start of a long home stand at McArthur Court for the Ducks who will play nine of their next ten there. Stanford comes to Oregon with a 5-5 record. The Indians’ most ■ recent game was a 53-52 victory over California earlier in the week. The Indians won even though the game was played on j Cal's home floor. Stanford has also gained a; 59-56 victory over nationally- ■ ranked Utah in the opening week 1 of the season. For the first time in many | years, the Indians have plenty of strength on the boards. Their front line consists of 6-3 John Hendry. 6-8 John Windsor, and 6-7 center Mike Ledgerwood. Led gerwood played his high school basketball at Grant High in Port land. Oregon coach Steve Belko was a little uncertain as to his start ing lineup Thursday. “Glenn Moore and Charlie Warren will open at center and forward, but I haven’t decided for sure on the other three positions,” said the affable Webfoot mentor. Denny Strickland, 6-5 senior, may move up to a forward spot, opposite Warren, for the Stan foi-d series. This would leave the guard spots open to veterans Butch Kinipton and Leon Hayes. Johnny Mack, a fast-improving sophomore, will also see some action against the Indians. Belko was more specific on be ing back home after playing sev en out of nine on the road. “We're glad to be back,” Belko remark ed. “and I'm sure it isn’t going to hurt us any to play on our own floor for a while.” Tipoff time for both games is S p.m. The Oregon Frosh will play, in preliminary games, a gainst the Oregon College JV's on Friday and against Sweet Home AAU on Saturday. Both Frosh games start at 6 p.m. Duck Wrestlers Face Utah, WSU The University of Oregon wrestlers face two of the better teams in the West this weekend at McArthur Court. On Friday, the University of Utah grapplers will be in action and on Saturday, it will be Washington State. Both meets will follow the Stanford basketball games and will last to about 10:45.

COACH MIKE REI TER is not optimistic about the Ducks' chan- i ces against these two strong teams. “We’re badly hurt by eli- j gibility losses at 167 and 177. In ! fact, we may even have to for ; feit these two weights this week : end,” Reuter disclosed Thursday. I Reuter listed Oregon's prob able lineup as: Dennis Wisby or Ken Thayer at 123; Jerry Mese cher or Tim Latta at 130; Joe McFarland at 137; Chester Scott or Lynn Mathews at 147; Don Hoiness at 157; and Garry Sten sland at heavyweight.
