Our Other Cage Team By 1*1111. SEMAS Emerald Sport* Editor l.a.st year a law student named Paul Sehwabe hit upon the idea of the Law School fielding a basketball team. He (tot together half a dozen or so law students and they played a skimpy three game schedule, heating the Portland Frosh, losing narrowly to the Oregon Frosh, and getting trounced by the Oregon Medical Dental team. This year the team consists of twelve players and has a manager, a coach and an expanded live game schedule. Wendell Basye, professor of law, is the coach. Basye’s not without basketball background He played some in high school and college and a great deal in the Navy. ("Back in the days when there was a tipofT after every two points,” he says.) Basye admits there are a lot of limitations to coaching the squad "I have no grants in aid available for recruiting,” he grins “Of course, several of our players may he good enough to have academic scholarships.” The team is probably the mo t intelligent one around Every mem ber has at least a bachelor’s degree Basye',s ability to develop an offense is also limited by the fact that "I can't develop an offense around tipoff plays like when I played.” What kind of offense will the lawyers unviel when they open against the Frosh'’ ”1 don't want people like (Don) Kirsch anti (Phil) McHugh, (the freshman coaches) to get their players up too high for us,” says Basye, "but we'll run a patterned discipline offense. That is, the pattern is there Whether or not I can get the players to follow it is another question.” "I'm not like (Oregon coach Steve) Belko, you know,” he added. ”1 can’t kick my players off the team if they don’t want to play. Of course, if they don't play for me, we won't play at all.” They’re Not So Old How about thr- age factor'' The lawyers arc a good deal older than most other squads. "The Frosh may think they're playing a bunch of old men,” says Basye, "but we’re not really so old 1 played until 1 was 31, so 1 don't have much sympathy for these fellows that arc only 23 or 24 groaning about how lough it is to run a little bit. Besides, 1 find that athletes get better as they get older." Seriously speaking, the squad supplies what Basye calls "a little Law School vs Med-Dents, 1965 diversion." As one squad member put it, "for some practice is their only night out.” "It gives people who've competed at various levels a chance to play,” Basye explains. Who are these players? Here’s a short capsule on each, in alpha betical order to avoid cries of favoritism. • Hon Anderson—6'5”, played on a state high school champion ship team at Lincoln of Portland, a guard on Oregon s Liberty Bowl football team • John Bassett—mainly high school experience, a ‘ ’returning letterman.” • John Carson—the team's big man at 6’7” and 245 lbs. • Fred Hartstrom—played high school ball at Astoria and also played for the Oregon Frosh. • Tim Hindman—6’5”, played a lot of AAU basketball and played on that same Lincoln team with Anderson. • Larry Janssen—6’3”, played freshman basketball at Dartmouth before transferring to Oregon. • Butch Ogilvy—510”, an outstanding golfer here. • Stan Potter—6’3”, in his own words, “no background ” • Gary Rossi—6’1”, one of three returning starters, a starter for Oregon State a few years ago, leading scorer for the Law School last year. • Mike Schrunk—6’2”, played freshman basketball at Willamette, a letterman in football and basketball at Portland State. • Conrad Schultz—6’4”, played freshman basketball at Oregon, was a member of a national championship church team, and an all star in that church tournament. • Art Tarlow—5’9”, played one year for Whitman, high school ball at Grant. The team practices twice a week Basye praised the athletic de partment for their cooperation. “They let us use MacArthur Court and the freshman practice balls,” he said. The lawyers arc looking for a place to play a game with the Will amette law school Feb. 29 or 30. Otherwise they have their schedule set. They play the Frosh Jan. 30 in Mac Court, Willamette at Salem (Continued on page 6) Oregon Basketball Barneft Paces Shooters; Brock Heads Rebounding Jim Barnett and Bill Jennings continue to lead Oregon’s Ducks m scoring after weekend action against UCLA and CSC.

But most of the teams in the league are experienced National Rifle Association rifle and pistol shooters, and thus are more ex perienced than the Ducks. Other teams represented are Corvallis, Junction City, Eugene Moose, and Shedd. Willamette withdrew from the competition when their range was closed. The UO team shoots dail/ from Oregon's rifle team meets Oregon State today at 1 p.m. on the Eugene Moose Rifle Range. Team members should meet at 6:30 at the ROTC sup ply room. 3-5 p.m. at the Moose Range, lo cated at 12th and Taylor Court in Eugene. In addition to the regular men’s | team, there is also a group of women that shoot separate in the matches. Predicts Close Race “This year’s league action will . be very close," is the prediction I from Oregon’s coach, master sergeant Joseph Barnett. This year’s title could go to one of four teams: Eugene Moose, Junction City, OSU or possibly Oregon. Shooting for the Beavers will be Allan Bates, who turned in a 391 score out of a possible 400 in his teams first match of the season. Don Curtis, also of OSU, holds the distiction of being a "golden bullet” or the equivalent of All-American honors, from j last year’s NRA team. ORDER OF THE O MEETING Place: Beta House Time: 12 noon Date: Today GUEST SPEAKER LES TIPTON The Corvallis team also boasts a “golden bullet" in Allan Dapp. who was a member of the OSU team that won the national inter collegiate title three years ago. Refsnider Best This year’s top Duck shooter is John Refsnider, who turned in a 383 of 400 in the first match of the year against Shedd. Right be hind Refsnider are Bob Coombs, Don MacLean, Rick Watkins, and Bill Belmore. There are at least ten men on a team w'ith the best five scores being totaled up to make the team score. In the first match the team lost to Shedd, 1896-1847. Each man shoots 40 shots per match with a bullseye counting 10 points and a high of 400 points per man pos sible. Five Girls Five girls are also out for the team this year. Returning from last year is Ricky Hart, who did not compete in 1963 but did shoot in 1962; Michele Landry, a fine prospect for this year wTho did not shoot in competition last year; Lynn Humphrey; Acie Jonckner; and Mary Lake. Although most of the girls are inexperienced they will soon be gaining shoting eyes as they enter the competition. Another member of the team who is expected to help the team is Lloyd Kruse. He just got his arm out of a cast after suffering a severe break during the sum mer. This year’s team will shoot a total of 10 matches and then will enter the league tournament at the conclusion of the season.
