off with Ohio State Monday night.
The final game is to be played
on the Northwestern University
court at Evanston.
The reasons for the far vests
confidence that the fast-breaking

national title lay in Oregon's per-
formance against California, Texas
and University of Oklahoma in the
western play-offs and in Ohio
States record against Pacific coast

foot-eight center and left the gates
open for Johnny Dick, Gales run

ed 80 per cent of the Sooner plays,
and scored most of their points.
