Gebert had a busy evening at the hoop pouring through 10 points. the deceptive dribbling of Gebert and the withering shooting of Gebert and Akins, found itself surging ahead, 31 to 25. The Ducks doggedly pursued, Fuhr man pouring the ball through for the Webfoots’ twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh points. The Cougars, li o w ever, . weren’t to be denied. After a number of melees under botii baskets, they were ahead, 3G to 29, and Oregon deserted the man-for-man defense for a zone. But where Washington State had knifed through the Ducks’ man-for-man screen, they now heaved shots over the zone, and the Webfoots were no better off. With 10 minutes remaining in the game, WSC had forged ahead, 44 to 33. Oregon was able to match the invading outfit basket for-basket for a time but was unable to make up the deficit to any noticeable degree. Cougars Clinch It With but 4 minutes 30 seconds remaining, Washington State was maneuvering out of sight and reach—53 to 42. Bishop kept the Cougars out there, 55 to 42, then Johnny Hooper joined in to make it 57 to 42. Andrews powered into the key and scored, but Hooper roared back—59 to 44. A few trips up and down the boards, and WSC was gone, 61 to 45. Both teams meet again in the Igloo tonight to finish one half of the 4-game series. Box score follows: WSC (Gl) Akins, f ...

SUah hesie 'ft tkete By FRED TREADGOLD It was a confident, but certain ly not a cocky bunch of Cougars that pinned down the Ducks, 61 to 45, at the Igloo last night. These youngsters of Jack Friel’s knew their way around the floor and also knew how to “get rid” of that sphere through the hoop. They whipped the ball around with lightning-like dispatch, typically Washington State , fashion, and their fast-breaking always-moving attack caused no end of trouble for the Web foots. Yes, despite their inex perienced sophomore - studde#-^ squad, the Cougars certainly did 'not lack in confidence or play excellence. Considered pretty much of a dark horse earlier in the season, last night’s performance can be said to classify them right up there with the title contenders. Oregon couldn’t seem to stem the tide of the Cougar baskets ^ which flooded in from all sides. Whenever the Webfoots would shove in a cou ple, the Staters would counter with a flock of baskets. They just couldn’t seem to miss . . . 25 field goals in all. Porky Shines Porky Andrews, Oregon’s Can adian captain, was the shining light of the Webfoot offensive, with 17 gold-studded points. Tossed in no less than seven field baskets all of which were diffi cult. Perhaps his outstanding ones were the long howitzer which he flung in from mid-floor half-way through the first half, bringing the Ducks up within one point of the Cougars, 14 to 13, and the fancy bit of dribbling in which he eluded three State defenders to wriggle under the basket for a lay-in shot during, the closing minutes of the game. Ducks “Dang Tough” Captain Kirk Gebert, smooth operating back-court man, said after the game down in the Cou gar dressing room, that the Ducks were “dang tough,” and had a good defense for such big fellows. ** Oregon was said to be the best team that the Cougars have run up against this year, according to Owen Hunt, regu lar guard, who turned in an ev tional bit of ball handling. “We had to win the hard way, but we were out to win from the beginning, the Cougar veteran declared. Praise for the brilliant playing of Oregon’s captain, Porky An drews, was voiced by Marvin Gil berg also said he was glad that Washington State got off to a good start, evidentally visualiz ing the stand which the Cougars must make in defense of their northern division title.
