hook shot by Vasterling at the
close of the period sent the In
dians into the second frame
sporting a 10-point lead, 21-11.
The Wolverines, who naa usca

first quarter, began to slow
down their offense in the open
ing minutes of the second pc-
riod. They continued to use a
full court press against the In
dians and the two teams ex
changed baskets during the
first half of the second period.
With three and a half minutes
left to play in the half, ihc

an equal number of free throws
to cut the margin to 32-31.
With two seconds left in the
half, O'Neil stepped to the free

out in front 34-31. Then, in one
of those thrilling desperation
last-second shots, Willamette
fired at the basket froi., behind
mid-court, and in it went, leav
ing the fans stunned and the
Indians leading by a lone point,
34-33.
Build Back Lead
The Tribe opened the second
half by settling down to regain
its margin, pouring in five
quick points to move out in
front 39-33. After an exchange
of baskets, Vasterling, O Neil
and McKee hit three in a row
to put the Tribe out in front
again, 45-35.
The remainder of the quarter;
saw an even battle, with Wil
lamette cutting down the mar
gin by two points. It was dur
ing this period that Heeter
proved to be a real workhorse
on the backboards.
The battle continued on at an
even cup during the opening
minutes of the final period, with
Roseburg holding a 58-49 lead
with 3:50 left in the gam e.
Stahel and Lee Merwin cut that
lead to 58-53, before O'Neil
