Idaho Coming —With Johnson by JOE BERGER Emerald Sports Writer Coach Joe Cipriano and his Idaho Vandals are coming to Mc Arthur Court—and they're bring ing Gus Johnson with them. Johnson is the Vandals' big center, and with him in the line op, Idaho is an undefeated ball club. But. unfortunately for Idaho, the 6-6 post man can’t play every game. Consequently, the Vandals sre not undefeated Seems that Johnson's record is good enough for the University of Idaho, but not good enough for the NCAA. Therefore, any event specially-sanctioned by the NCAA is off-limits for Idaho's ' big man." THIS WAS SO in the case of the Far West Classic last month Radio station KWAX will air Friday night's Oregon Idaho game from McArthur Court. Bioadcast time will be 8 p.m. where the Vandals suffered their only losses of the season. With Johnson. Idaho is 7-0. With and without Johnson. Cipri auo’s boys are 8-2. This makes them currently the most successful of the Northwest Independents. If Johnson is as good a ball player as his coach thinks he is. spectators could be in for a whale cf a show during the two-game series. Cipriano calls him "one of the best prospects to hit the Northwest since Elgin Baylor.” IF JOHNON claims top billing on the strength of advance pub licity and a handful of perform ances on the court, the Vandals' supporting cast will be led by \ a pair of ball players who have themselves shown "moments of brilliance" during the past two seasons. One is forward Chuck White. White is averaging 18.8 points a game for the Vandals’ first ten appearances, and by the end of this, his senior year, will more than likely have wrested from ex Ali America Gary Simmons the all time Idaho scoring crown. Aside from his demonstrated talents on the basketball floor. White is also an outstanding mem ber of Idaho's baseball team and is expected to sign with the New York Y'ankees after graduation. The other proven performer for the Vandals is guard Rich Porter, one of the most prolific prep scorers in Idaho history. Porter earned a berth on the Far West Classic All-Star squad in 1961. Though his coaches feel that he "has yet to live up to his prom ise in college,” the sandy-haired backcourter is pouring in points at a 14.5 clip. TEAMING WITH Johnson—the nation’s fourth-ranking rebound er—White, and Porter to round out Idaho's starting lineup will be guard Lyle Parks and forward Tom Whitfield. For Oregon, the series with the Vandals will provide an oppor tunity to climb above the .500 mark for the year. After Tuesday night’s 62 54 win over the University of Portland Pilots, coach Steve Belko’s Ducks have a season's mark of 4-5. Oregon is in better shape phy sically than it's been since the start of the season with the re turn to comparatively good health of 6-7 center Glen Moore. Moore has been hampered by injuries all year, but both he and forward Jerry Anderson, who sprained an ankle in the Classic, should be ship-shape for the Ida ho series. TO COME out on top against the Vandals, however, even with everybody ready to go, won't be an easy task. As Belko put it, "This could be one of our tough est series of the year.-’ Belko is expected to go with a lineup of Elliot Gleason and Steve Jones at guard, Moore at center, and Anderson and Jim Johnson at forward. Jones is currently the Web foots' leading scorer with an aver age of 15.3 points a game, fol lowed by Moore with a 13 4 aver age and Johnson with 11.9 points a game. Ducks Eye Easy Win in Swim Test Swim coach Don Van Rossen ; plans on using this Saturday's 1 Oregon-University of Puget Sound i meet as a ‘•preparation” for the 1 tough season ahead. The meet opens at 2 p m. at Leighton Pool. “We are trying to lind the host combination in preparation for the Washington meet on Jan. 25 We will use the meet to iron out | any final kinks we have," Van | Rossen said.
