Oregon Quintet Sweeps California Series for Coast Honors
Bears Beaten Twice
At Igloo in Thrillers
Championship Is First for University
Since 1919 Season—Twenty Long Years;
Scores Are 54 to 49 and 53 to 47
Twenty long years!
That's exactly how long the University of Oregon has had to wai
for a second coast conference championship in basketball.
And Friday night, as the final gun clinched the coast title for th<
Webfoots, McArthur court was a bedlam. Over 6,000 wild fans "broke'
an uproar that told a story of a deep satisfactions, of a great desire
and of delirious joy.
The Ducks had done it. The>
had battered' a gallant California
team that found it hard-pressed
indeed to keep up with the dashing
Ducks for two nights, winning 54
to 49 and 53 to 47.
Priestly Insults ’Em
They had answered California's
graduate manager, Ken Priestly
who said during the playoff mix,
“It looks like Oregon doesn’t want
to play us.” And they had become
the first Webfoot team to win the
coast tiara since Dean Walker
coached Eddie Duruo, Nish Chap
man and the rest of the 1919 “Im
mortals” to a coast crown.
What’s more, they scored over
50 points twice against California,
the first time this year that an
opponent has been able to do so
against the tall Bears who aver
age better than the 6-foot 3-inch
mark.
The first game saw both teams
jittery at the start, with Oregon
leading 20 to 19 at halftime. But
in the second period, the Ducks
bewildered the Bears with a driv
ing, whirlwind attack that liter
ally swept the California repre
sentatives off their feet.
Stage Big Spree
From a tie at 21 to 21 after three
quarters of a minute of play in the
second half, the Oregon boys, sud
denly displaying the driving fire
they had lacked' in the first half,
in 7% minutes rolled up to a 16
point advantage.
The Bears kept threatening afte
that, but the damage was done
and Oregon coasted in.
In this game, Laddie Gale, dis
playing his scoring form of las
year, rang up 18 points to lea<
the Ducks.
California’s Golden Bears waste<
no time in going to work the see
ond night, running up a 9 to I
lead on beautifully timed plays
The Ducks’ captain, Bobby Anet
called a time out, and the tall Fir:
settled, down to their task. A
halftime, they led £> -to 23, am
never were headed after that.
John Dick and Slim WintermuL
led the Duck scoring parade wit!
16 points each.
