Hank " vuch era's quint, which bopped the Frank Brownies 53-20 in a Villa scuffle last month will be odds nn favorite to ' repeat again to night, has f'nished first in its last H games,1 "le topmost winning streak in the state. Eugene has dropped only its opening game of :he season. : ' Also heading south tonight, but with much brighter prospects in store are Herm Schwartzkopfs Junior ' Jay vees. They dumped Duane Mellem's Axemen seconds here and will be, out to make it - a' sweep. The Juniors seek their 1 6th victory against three losses for the season. "- Brown has been stressing defense-work by his guards this week, as it was the inefficiency of the back-courtsters which was largely responsible for the two setbacks at Astoria last week, ac cording to the headman. He'll like- ly start Al Bellinger and Loren lielmhout, forwards; Tom Board man, center, and Doug Gibson aid Bunny Mason ! or Al Bellinger, guards, against the ' high - riding Axemen. The game is billed for the overly-spacious Eugene nory.

Shortie sporties: Not only does Rassler Georges Dusette, whom we've dubbed "Jim Londos of the Lightheavies" have the muscles and strength for which Heavyweight Champ Jeemy is noted, but also looks quite a bit like Londos about the face. Or had you already noticed? ... Re rassters, you should see the mobs which turn out for the brawls in Eugene! Twice as many as Salem, and do they "hate" Gor geous Georgie. Wagner there! One Ivan Jones isn't any too popular as a referee in Eugene either.1 The other night when approached per sonally by a couple gents on the art of officiating bicep bees,Jones had to rap one of the approachers on the snoot before he could get to his dressing room. Which might be an inkling of what could hap- pen here should anyone' dislike Jones' work to an extremity . Not good to have to write" that about Eugene outdrawing Salem's rassles, for 'tis still another case of Eugene's athletic superiority over. Salem.

Signs of the 4imes: Outfielder Jo-Jo White signed his Sacramento Coast league contract which "amounts to the same money I made with Cincinnati last season." Who said the Coast league wasn't going "major league"? ... Wrong Beaver dept: Develops the green and yellow daubbed Beaver brought in by Oregon rooters during the UO-OSC hoop clash Saturday, practically setting the fuse for a riot, wasn't the official Oregon State "stolen" Beaver after all. We have it on unquestionable authority that the real Beaver, stolen two years ago in a property- damaging raid on Belt Field, was soon returned by demand of the U of O faculty and is still locked up safely on the OSC campus. Con sequently, the "Beaver" taunt tossed Saturday night was every bit the "fake" the OSC rooting section chorused it was. ..." . , Slats GiWt Greaten Hoop Thrill Speaking of these Oregon-Oregon State basketball binges, it was during a 1942 chapter that Slats Gill got the topmost thrill of his hoop coaching career. ' And since Mentor Gill has been bossing OSC quints against Oregon and other Northern divisioners 17 years now, the No. 1 thrill must have been a pee-dinger. Here 'tis: r ' Oregon State was en route to division championship but had to win this particular game with. Oregon at Corvallis in order to stay on top of the race. But with 13 seconds left to play OSC wasn't winning. Oregon was out front 26-25. Worse yet OSC committed a foul and Howard Hobson's herd elected to waive the free throw, taking the ball out of bounds. Oregon Captain Don Kirsch took it out, but Oregon State immediately called a time out. . " The Beavers Don Durdan, Lew Beck, -John Mandic, Don HalL Jack Mulder, Sam Dement, Paul Valenti, George McNutt, et al-nig ged up a man-to-man defense aimed at halting Kirsch's throw-in. It was so tight that Kirsch was still holding the ball after his allotted five seconds he couldn't find a 'mate free-enough to accept a pass! , Durdan-to-IIall-tah-Mandic-Victory! . i?f Durdan took over out of bounds; flipped in to Hall who in turn fired to Mandic, in the key. Mandio whirled and with a left-handed hook shot split-the basket, winning the game which now had only seven seconds left! . The packed pavilion, including Mentor Gill went " wild,'s the saying goes, and the Beavers went on to win the pennant. They couldn't get by Stanford's -great team in the northern-southern playoffs, however. . . - f - , Considering all that goes with an Oregon-Oregon State, gathering, the build-up to and the payoff following Alandic's game-winning hit must've been a nerve-j angler at that. ' Nothing is mentioned as to what it did Jo Skipper Hobson, but if he wasn't out cold, flat on his back tpn the floor; he can take it'T "i' ''".f " : .V-" "-y -": Gill can tell you what most of that championship outfit is doing nowadays: Durdan a CPO- in the navy's athletic program; Seek dn 1 army lieutenant;- Mandic. an army 'lieutenant wounded in -action but jhbw. back in the thik of it again; Muller an army lieutenant reported . missing in action in France; Dement' an army lieutenant; Valenti id the navy aboard an aircraft carrier as pharmacist mate; Hall in the navy along with McNutt, the latter also a pharmacist mate.

Cooper did not disclose the reason for his rejection, bat previously he had, been turned down because of high blood pressure. Loren Garrett was the big gun for tne winners canning 21 points, all but the one free jthrow coming on ! layins on the dead-run through a Funland defense that couldn't stop the flying GI. The Frosh wound up their schedule by tipping Chemawa 30 to 29, while General Finance sal vaged third place with a 26 to 16 triumph over Talbot's Mintmen.
