Page 8 Eugene Register-Guard1, Tuesday, Mirth H, IMS icn CLIMBED By DICK STK1TJS Al Aklna, on of the beet all around athlete la Pacific ooeei conference history, at leaat at "modem" times, traveled a long way to watch Jack Friers Cougars take a fil-41 whipping at tne hands of John Warren's Webfoote. Aldus, who probably ranks with UCLA's Jackie Robinson as a four-sports letterman, was nat urally disappointed, but at the same time saw big things for fu ture WSC basketball. Akins, who played basketball and football for Washington as a marine trainee, is now stationed at North Carolina and expects to be shipped overseas soon but he plans to return to Pullman after the war. At 23, and lord knows what his age will be when this war ends, Al is planning to play another season of basketball, an other vt baseball, two of track and two of football for the Cougars. He says that Gail Bishop, the great Cougar scorer, will also re turn, along with Scotty Witt, the longview kid, and Bob Sheridan, de-Athertonized Webfoot. Along with Vlnce Hanson, Friel will have quite a ball club. Actually Akins best sports were track and baseball. He Is a swift sprinter and a heavy-hitting out fielder. Hanson, by the way, was kept out of competition last year just to Insure Frlel that the 6-foot, 8-lnch center would have one sea son of play with Bishop, Akins & Co. Maybe you haven't noticed It, but Hanson's last name has sud denly been spelled with an O In stead of an E, although he is a Norwegian instead of a Swede. The spelling change was made when his great grandfather came ;o the United States from Nor way. His name was Hans, so his son took the name of Han-son. AU of which doesn't make the big fellow any easier to check. Hanson's new conference scor ing record of 253 points for 16 Barnes looks like it will stand for ever, but Captain Bob Hamilton of Oregon predicts that It will fall whenever all five teams In the northern division employ fast breaking attacks. Nick Weddle, Oregon's All American manager (with apol ogies to Hal White), furnishes us with some interesting statistics from last Saturday's game. Here are some individual figures:. WSC S M BB Joslin 11 4 11 Gregg . . 2 0 5 Hanson .......... 16 6 7 G. Hamilton 15 2 3 Rennlck . 13 5 0 Jorrison . . . 3 0 0 Waller . 1 0 0 Johnson .......... 4 12 Noteboom 0 0 1 Kellinger 0 0 0 OREGON S M BB Wllklns 13 0 11 Smith 10 1 Hays 8 2 10 Bartelt 12 5 8 B.

Except for Cbuck Stamper's last-minute tip-In of Ed Allen's inlssed freethrow which gave the sub center-forward a shooting average of 1.000, Reedy Berg haad the best mark at .500. Jim Barielt had .417, followed by Bobby Ren nick with .385, Hanson with .375 und Bob Hamilton with .333. Mort Joslin was the only Cougar to hold up with the Web foots In the important backboard recovery department. He had 11, Iho same as Berg and Wilkins. Hays had 10 as compared to Han son's 7. . . and the Webfoots 61 individuals and two team recov eries as compared to WSC's 28 In dividuals and nine team takes. The Cougars would do well to watch Dick Wilkins in the game here Friday night. A hoopster of his scoring ability should be hot after missing all of 13 attempts in the last game. Oregon ulso held an edge over Washington Slate in team shoot ing. The Cougars hit 8 of 31 shots in the first half for a .258 mark as compared to Oregon's 6 on 30 shots for a .200 mark. The second half was different, however, Ore gon hitting 12 of 31 for a .387 average as compared to WSC's 10 for 34 and .203 mark. The game totals showed Oregon hitting 18 of 61 for .295 as compared to WSC's 18 for 65 and .277 average. Pleasant Hill Beaten 37-29 in Final District T Hoop PfaJ Braves Enter Stale Tourney By DEAN WELLER ROSEBURG, March 13 Coach Jack Plug's Reedsport Braves were state tournament bound to day following a surprise 37-29 victory over Pleasant Hill here Monday night.

DeWItt hit for a freethrow with 2 minutes 10 sec onds gone to put the Braves ahead and they remained ahead. Jim Thornton, another 6-foot-3 player, tossed in a basket from the key to put the Braves 3 points ahead. Harrell Smith and Dick Mooncy each hit for goals on long shots from near the cen ter line to run the Reedsport score up to 9-2. With 4 minutes 45 seconds gone Gale Kimball struck for a basket, but Smith countered with another goal Braves Take 13-4 Lead Thornton tossed in a basket with score 13-4 for the Braves at the end of the first quarter. The Braves were hot with their fast break and excellent rone defense which stymied the Billies. DeWItt started tilings off for the Braves In the second frame with a basket from the key. With 2 minutes gone diet Hutton found his aim for a goal. Gale Kimball followed with a foul conversion. Mooney came back with three baskets In two minutes to bring the count 21-7. Guard Bill Coll ver converted a foul shot at 5:35. Hutton made a freethrow and Dick Casey tossed in a basket to bring the Billies within 11 ct the Braves. Thornton and DeWItt each made a basket and Dick plunked In one for the Billies in a torrid 40 seconds of play. Just as the half ended Hutton tossed in a gratis shot and the half ended with the Braves holding a 26-13 lead. The Billies came out a rejuvin ated team in the third pealod at least for a while. Hutton and Casey each made baskets in the first 25 seconds of play. DeWItt potted one from the key on a backhand shot. Don Kimball made his only basket of the game shortly after DeWItt made his second of the third period. With 4 minutes gone Gale Kimball sent one In from the side and then converted a foul shot. Gale scored again to bring the Billies within six points of the Braves. Smith tallied a two-pointer and DeWItt made good a foul shot to end the third quarter 33-24. Victors Freeze Ball Hutton started scoring In the final frame with a gift toss which he followed up with a basket some 25 seconds later. The Braves held on to the ball, making no attempt to score even though there were over 5 minutes left in the game. DeWItt scored on a cripple. Collver was fouled with 2 minutes, a seconds remaining and the Braves took the ball out of bounds. On the toss Into the court the ball was tipped to Mooney who waited under the basket and tipped it in for Reeds port's final score. Dick made two gift tosses to end the game's scor ing, with a little over a minute remaining. Summary: nr-r.ospoRT ai so ft rr tp nowitt.
