Three members of the 1938 Oregon team that won the na tional intercollegiate champion ship were in Rubensteins' lineup, including Laddie Gale, Wally Jo- nansen and Bobby Anet, captain of the championship team. Immediately after the game the Oregon team boarded a south bound, train for a 7500-mile barn storming jaunt through the south, midwest and east.

When the half ended, however, the university led 22 to 21, During the first six minutes of the second- half the advantage changed three times. Jackson, who hitch-hiked about 5000 miles to watch the Oregon team last year, scored 13 points and was a factor in the univer sity's win. Gale led the scoring with 19 points.
