Oregon teams nre now'leuding both the coast, and northwest basketball conferences with only a fortnight's play re maining before the season ends. This week's series will bring Oregon and the Aggies together at Kugene Friday night. Should the Agglr-s win they will then have a firm hold on first, place, in both nces.
