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

Rifle Team Best in Years
By PAUL POLSKY
Emerald Sports Writer
This year's Oregon rifle team
could be one of the best since
the school joined the Willamette
Valley league in 1956.
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.
