the smooth ball-handIer and
dribbler, has been placed at
left guard where his floorwork
can be used to the best ad-
vantage.
Ernie Perrault will take care Of
the right guard spot, Harry Lang
at right forward. and Sig Sigurd-
son will retain his center position.

With Victory

OF Oregon basketball team opened
its conference season here last
night in defense of an assortment
of titles-including national, North
west and Pacific Coast conference
by humping the University Of
Idaho Vandals, A to 80.
1t was Idaho's third straight
loss. The vandals dropped two
game series to. Oregon State last
weekend.
While their debut was Inn
pressive, the Webfeet were
fought every inch Of the way
by a stubborn contingent Of
bssketballers from Moscow,
Ida. who refused to give up
until the final whistle.
The two varsities hammered at
each other point for point before
5000 customers, and after nine
minutes of play the count was
knotted at nine-all.
Gradually, however, the fast
breaking champions took COM
mand and ran the road-weary
Idahoans breathless to hold a IT.
10 advantage at halftime. In the
last half, Idaho was no match for
the Oregonians.
Ted Sarpola, rugged Oregon
wingman. took high scoring
honors with IL points. Hilton,
6-foot 8-inch center, tied with
his Vandal team-mate, Ramey,
at 10 points for Idaho honors.
The teams will meet here again
tonight for the second of their
two-game series.
