OREGON, Jan. 25 (Special) Determined to turn the tables on the Washington Huskies In their Friday-Saturday northern division basketball se ries in McArthur court this week, the University of Oregon Webfoots have been hard at work daily on both offense and defense maneu vers against the Frosh. Coach John Warren has been spending much time tightening up the team's de fense as a measure of cutting down the high-scoring Huskies. He has also advocated long and arduous offensive work, as he figures it will take many points to upset the favored Washlngtons in the annual series. " Washington last week ran up 69 49 'and 66-51 victories over the Oregon quint at Seattle. In those two games Frank Guisness, Louis Soriano, Russ Parthemer and La Don Henson took turns at spark ing the Huskies. So Warren has reminded his charges that each . . must be at his best if the Ducks re to register an upset Should the Webfoots lose both games this week they will definitely be out ef the northern division race. Warren's starting five for the Friday opener looms as Will Ur ban and Paul Sowers at forwards, the improving Jim Vranizan at center and Mel Krause and Jack Keller t guards. Keller pumped In 16 points in the second Husky fame at Seattle. Golfers Eat Tonight Kegalar monthly Feed ef the 'Salem Golf Men's elab will be held in the coarse clubhouse to night starting at 6:30. Short story: A staunch U of Oregon rooster this week buzzed us to help him get tickets for the Washington-Oregon State series at Corval lis, next week. When we asked him how come he wanted to see the Huskies play the Beavers, Instead of going to Eugene this week to watch 'em tangle with his own Webfoot team, here's the an swer we got: "Aw, I want to see them beat Oregon, State Instead of Oregon. That way I won't feel so bad about it" . . . (The truth alielp. us!) . . . Answer to Fred Sterling, who didn't put a return address on his letter: Ad Liska ' was with Portland 14 seasons, ap ": peered -in over 500 games, won 198 of them and lost 194. His age Is given as 42 and from what George Emigh tells us, Liska dlf inltely will do some pitching for the Senators ... Speaking of ' Emigh, he's landed the shortstop ' he was after. The newcomer is Kick Muti, who played with both Vallejo and Modesto of the Cal State last season and wound up with a .375. batting mark for the campaign. He comes very highly recommended. All of which means that Bud Peterson is figured as having a good chance of sticking with the Bevo varsity, or will be traded or sold, Wayne Peterson already has signed his 1950 Solon pact and will be back for second-sacking duties. Emigh also is In the midst of dickering with Tacoma for the services of Outfielder Glenn 6 tetter and Southpaw Pitcher Ray Fortler. Stetter biffed .288 last season and had 73 runs batted In. Fortler won 10, lost 16 and had an ' ERA of 6.50 per game ... Blond Bill Beard has been given the go ahead by the Portlands so that he can make a deal for himself with another club. But if the la tern-Jawed ex-Willametteer fails to do so, he might be kept by the Bevos as their No. S catcher, with duties mostly h the bull pen. . . . Northwest schools didn't do so well (again) In the annual All-America and All-Coast football balloting, but rated '. second to none as a group to provide rookies for 1150 professional touchdownlng. No less than 21 northwest players were drafted by the pros: Ken Carpenter, Ed Carmlchael, Tom DeSylvia. Dick Gray, Bob . Sanders, Sam Nevills, Woodley Lewis, Ted Meland, Darrell Robin son, Steve Dotur, Fran Polsfoot, Don Paul, Jerry Houghton, Marv Cross, Bob Gambold, Carl Killsgaard, Jerry DiehL George Bayer, Chuck Olson, Warren Wood and Tom Winbigler. The only Northwest conference grab is Wlnbiglfr, of course, and the College of Idaho galloper goes to the Cleveland Browns, along with OSC's Dick Gray and Carpenter and Oregon's Ted Meland . . . . Yet, Vlco Still Listed On Detroit Ball Club In answer to a number ef queries, now that baseball's slgn nps and holdouts are once more prominent, George Vie still la listed en the Detroit Tigers roster, right alone with the ether first sackers Dick KryhoskL Don Kolloway and Paul Campbell. When the Tires speared Kryhoskl from the Yankees, It was figured that such would amount to the demise ef the popular 1946 Senators "splits" expert who managed to hit only .190 last season. But he's still on. the club, and If he stays we'd like nothing better than to see him bust loose with a spring training effort that will give him the regular first turn Job ... Interesting note: One Joe Harris, advertised as "expert" for the S porting News' basketball pregame selections, says Oregon State will - beat Washington by eight points in their first game Friday, February S, at Corvallis, and by two points the following Saturday night. He picks Oregon over Idaho by six. both nights at Moscow the same ''weekend... .. ' y. Vlk Dottet Note Doing It the Smart Way At long last the generalissimos ef Salem Viking varsity foot- ball schedule-making have done It the smart way. Not that their previous policy of play-'em-all-blg-or-small wasn't to be admired. The Vlk bosses have always felt as If they should take en any prep school's touchdown troupe. Up to now, that Is. What with all wins and losses compiled by a team over the season tossing a definite reflection on the voting that determines district represen tation. It Is only natural that 8alem, aspiring to enter the. state . playoffs for the first time, should commence more competition with district teams and drop some of the out-of -district toughles. such as K-Falls. After all, wins ever such elevens as Lebanon and Gresham mean Just as much, If not more than the same ever the Pelicans, Ilillsboro, etc. ... Interesting weekend for Astoria's hoop fans, as all three teams to compete In the Thursday-Friday boast players who learned their The Stewart Chevrolets, who play U Friday night, are captained by Cliff CrandaH, one of the greatest Individual stars reared In the state. The Bearcats hve both Doug Logue and Pete Bryant and the Portlands list Fred (Happy) Lee, Don Turina and Dick Moore. The Astoria customers Just won't know who th' heck to root for either nijrnt ...

Overheard sn Interesting argument the other day concerning Ted Loder, Willamette's husky sophomore forward from Mllwaukle. One fellow Insisted Ted could play on any one of th northern division oulnts right now, and th other was just as sure that the rugged lad couldn't "because he's too slow," he opined. Were we to Insert our unsolicited nickel's worth, we'd say that Loder definitely could Join any one of the five ND teams, and would be welcomed royally . . .
