Webfoots Face Nebraska Oregon State Beavers Open Series With Indiana Quintet Thren undefeated collegiate basketball squads clash in dou blcheaders at Gill Coliseum, Cnrvallis, Monday and at Mo Arthur Court here Tuesday niRht with a total of close to 20,000 fans expected to witness the four contests. The schedules: Gill Coliseum (Monday) Oregon vs. Nebraska 7:30 p.m. Oregon State vs. Indiana 9:15 p.m. McArthur Court (Tues day) Oregon State vs. Indiana 7:30 p.m.; Oregon vs. Nebraska 9:15 p.m. The Corvallis games will have the SRO sign hung up. The twin bill here is ex pected to have several thou sand general admission tickets available. Coach Branch McCracken's Indiana Hoosicrs, NCAA cham pions last year, and Slats Gill's OSC Beavers, unbeaten TCC title contenders, will risk their unbeaten records in the feature skirmishes. Coach Harry Good's Nebraska Cornhuskers, beaten by Minne sota and 83-55 by OSC last Sat urday, will challenge Bill Bor- 'in p d Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. 2B Mon., Dec. 21, 1953 cher's unbeaten Oregon Web foots. Oregon will likely be without the services of Jerry Ross, who dislocated a knuckle last week. One of the side attractions in the Indiana-OSC series will be the individual performances of two touted centers Don Schlundt, 6-foot, 10-inch jun ior who was a second-team Ail American last year for Indi ana's title team; Wade "Swede" Halbrook, 7-foot, 3-inch OSC sophomore. After the Indiana fracas, the Beavers will head cast for Co lumbus, Ohio, and a scheduled game Saturday night with Ohio State. From there they will go to Raleigh, N. C. to play in the Dixie Classic next Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. Oregon, Washington and Idaho also will be on the road. Oregon plays UCLA at Los Angeles Saturday and Monday nights, Washington will com pete in the Big U tourney at Kansas City next weekend, and Idaho goes to Missouri for games next Monday and Tues day nights with Montana. The Washington State Cou gars, who dropped three straight on last week's trip to California, will be idle until Jan. 2 when they will be host to Eastern Washington College. HIGHLIGHTS by Don Fair fr Tuesday night's Eugcne-Corvallis struggle took its toll with delayed effect when the two teams went into action again Friday. The Axemen followed that close 50-49 victory by bowing B5-52 to Grant a team which earlier had lost 69-37 to Hank Kuchcra's lads Corvallis' return to action was a narrow 57-56 verdict over Seaside, a team that wasn't given an outside chance , That makes it evident that both the Axemen and Spartans went all out" in their game with the resultant letdown. Grant's court, large by Portland standards but small when com- nareri with those in the county, bothered the Axemen no little. The Generals must be credited with making good use of their ad vantage . . , Speaking of gyms, the Axemen s new court promises to be the noisiest around. It was only about half-filled for tne Cor vallis game, yet the din was deafening. It's a classy layout, never theless, and needs but one improvement the center stripe is so narrow it's almost invisible. Why not widen the line? It won't even take much paint. Kalom rnach Harold Hauk is expected to have one of his tough est seasons in Big-Six League competition. In 15 years with the Viking cagers, Hauk has never had a team finish lower than second In Big-Six action. And he's won or shared title honors for the past even seasons. This winter Eugene, Corvallis, and Albany, in par ticular, are expected to sorely test Hauk's ability to keep Salem from slipping below a runncrup position. This year's Salem team doesn't boast as many good big men, hut Hauk has another aggressive, ball-hawking crew led by Gordon Dnmnpalla. Jim Knaoo. Tom Pickens and Larry Springer . . . Hauk doesn't know if he will do any more basketball coaching when he takes over as athletic director next year at the new South Salem high. Details aren't worked out yet, but the veteran mentor gave us the impression he will give up the cage chores but will keep the baseball coaching reins. fc A couple of low foul contests have been brought to our attention. When Oakridge nipped Crater 48-46 two weeks ago, only 20 personals were whistled 10 against each team. In Maple ton's recent 50-48 overtime decision over Mohawk, there were 22 fouls, 10 on the Sailors and 12 on the Indians . . , Incidentally Coach Pave Woodruff, whose Mapleton team shares the "B" lead with Coburg and Lowell, became a father for the third time when his wife gave birth to a girl early Wednesday morning. Kent Hotaling, the only senior member of the Eugene basketball team last year, is a starting guard for the Willamette University frosh and recently was high-point for his club . . . Harlcy Sittner, 6-7 Axemen eager who was overshadowed by Dean Parsons during his playing days, is back from the service and has added some 35 pounds. The extra weight is likely to make him a strong college basketball prospect. Eugene radio station KUGN is broadcasting all Springfield basketball games with Woody Slater at the mike. The cast will be heard at 8 p.m. over FM with a 10:30 rebroadcast over AM , . . Until Willamette's 81-50 win over McMlnnville Friday night, official Bob Shisler could almost expect that any game he whistled would be torrid one. His four assignments prior to that "easy" one included Oakridge's 80-76 nod over Pleasant Hill, Triangle Lake's 34-31 over time victory over Siuslaw, Mapleton's 50-48 overtime verdict over Mohawk, and Eugene s 50-49 squeaker over Corvallis. Oakridge center Paul Tuchardt continues as the top individual acorer in the area with 137 points in five games. Pleasant Hill's LcRoy Carlson has 85 in four starts and Crcswcll's Joe Burris 96 in five games. For consistency, it's hard to beat Junction City's Ralph jonnson wno nas mane exaciiy iz points jn each of his three, performances. k When checking those gifts next Friday morning, mav the coaches each find a championship, the players plenty of victories and our hard-working correspondents several good stories. It's a little early, hut our only chance to wish them and many oi nur oeipiui inenns merry unnstmas! Pete Fleming Wins Twin Cities Tourney WEST MONROE. La.
