By RED i. 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. Mitchell
was high for the Air-corps with 8.
