GATES Coach John Warren's ASTU boys had a very tough time of it Saturday night to down, a scrappy Oregon Air-Corps quintet 50-40. The game played at McArthur court before some 800 soldier fans, was on of the more "rugged" games staged on the maple of the court in recent seasons. It was "dog-eat-dog" In the first half, with neither team want ing to give the other a "bite." First the taller and more experi enced Engineers would score, then the scrappier Air-Corps boys would come right back. The Air-Corpa Jumped Into an early lead, and throughout the first half It looked as though the Meteorologists would surprise the critics and upset the applecart Enaiaeer Ken But as the gam progressed the Engineers strength became more apparent and they began to look like the better ball team. Of con siderable interest was the perfor mance of Quentln Sidesinger, for mer Oregon player, who played a good game under the backboards as well as made a nioe contribu tion in the scoring column. . Late in the half the Engineers began to roll -with lithe Bob Kramme potting long one band ers, and they were ahead 22-18 at the intermission. With their height advantage be ginning to show on the Air-corps, the ASTU built up a bigger lead and finally wound up with the 10 points separating the teams, Kramme High With IS The Air-corps were always In the game, mostly by the unceasing efforts of Billy Mitchell, former Kansas State freshman player, and bespectacled Dick Medlln, Nail and Kramme, along with Bill Moylan and Sidesinger all turned in fine games for the Army ASTU. kramme was high point man for the evening with 13, fol lowed by Nallvwlth 12.
