Huskies Rank
Among lop 10
U. S. Teams
By the Associated Press
Washington's ranking among the
top 10 basketball teams of the coun
try gets an acid test this week as
the Huskies go up again two strong
outfits in enemy territory — St.
Louis and Minnesota
The Huskies didn't hurt their
sixth-place Associated Press poll
listing any over the last weekend
when they scored a two-game sweep
over the California Bears. That
gave Washington five wins out of I
six starts — three of them on the
road.
But the going gets rougher in
Wednesday night’s meeting with
the fourth ranked St. Louis Bil
likins and Saturday night’s go with
the Minnesota Gophers. It was
the Gophers who upset Kentucky,
minus its ace. Bill Spivey, last week.
Washington scored a decisive 65
to 43 win in its second game with
California Saturday. Meanwhile,
Idaho marked up its eighth victory
in nine starts by edging Memphis
State 51-48 at Moscow.
Washington State lost in the last
, four seconds to the Montana Griz
zlies 52-51 after snatching an over
time victory from the Montana
school the previous night. Oregon
State also lost to a team it had
beaten the previous night. The
Portland University Pilots free-;
wheeled over the Bears 75-48.
This weekend Oregon State and
’‘Orep'orr meet Intersectional oppon- 1
ents. Oregon State travels south
for a two-game stand with Califor
nia. Oregon, idle last weekend, en- ;
tertains Wyoming Friday and Sat- !
urday.
Idaho plays Gonzaga University
at Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Tuesday
and the Caterpillar Tractor Com
pany at Peoria, 111., next Sunday.
WSC has a busy week, meeting
Eastern Washington at Cheney
Tuesday and entertaining Montana
in a repeat series at Pullman Fri
day and Saturday.

Lumbermen Take
Douglas Huskies
En Thrilling Game
The scrappy Douglas high school
quintet almost engineered an upset
last Friday night against the sec
ond place Columbia Lumber five
when their late rally fell five pain -
short ar » they went down to their
third uefeat of the season, 31 to 26.
The under - estimated Huskies
controlled the ball most of the first
period but failed to capitalize on
many easy shots. Despite their in
accuracy, they held a slim 6 to 2
first quarter lead. In the second
quarter Graves and Asp found the
range and hit for 11 points to put
the Columbians ahead 13 to 6 at
halftime.
They increased their lend to 23
to 14 during the third period. But
in the last quarter Jensen and
Isaak combined for 12 points to
narrow the gap to 31 to 26. The
Lumbermen held their five point
lead by some excellent ball handling
in the closing minutes despite close
checking by the Huskies.

The second game of the evening
saw two winless teams trying for
their first victory. The Storis drop
ped their sixth consecutive game to
the Country Club 48-40.
The Country Club slowly pulled
ahead from the start of the game
and were never headed throughout
the contest. Paul was high for the
Country Club with 13 points while
Carr hit for 12 to lead the Tars.
Although the Storis crew is on
the bottom of the league standings
they rate high in sportsmanship.
On two occasions they have allowed
their opponents to use players who
had gone out on fouls so that they I
might field a complete team.
Tuesday's games in Douglas will
match the Douglas Huskies against
the Storis in the opener at 7:30
p.m. The Columbia Lumber quintet
meets the Alaska Road Commission
in the second game.

Another Reason Why'
You’ll Prefer Budweiser
Year in, year out, we pay premium prices
for a special type of brewing barley. Then,
as good as it is, only the plumpest grains
are selected for malting.
Choicest hop blossoms and rice are added
in the costliest brewing process known.
Then come two fermentations and much,
much longer-than-average ageing. ..and
you get Budweiser.
