Huskies Nip Ducks 60-58 By BERNIE HAMMERBECK Sports Editor The University of Oregon’s stuttering Duck fell short again last night as the invading Washington Huskies stalled out a 60-58 win at McArthur court. It was the first win for the Huskies on their four-game swing through the Oregon country and firmly entrenched them in the third spot of the northern division race. The Huskies led through a majority of the game after taking over the lead at the 8-7 mark when Forward Sammy White connected for a lay-in. From there the Huskies com menced to romp as Bill Yandenburgh hit on another lay-in and Guard Bobby Jorgenson, high-point man for the evening with 17, connected with a pair to bring the score to 14-7 for the winners.

The Huskies dominated the first half play, as early in the contest they split the Oregon zone de fense and then continued' their of fense with equal success when the 7 7 6 3 0 1 3 5 6 8 .875 .700 .545 .333 .000 Ducks shifted to a man-to-man. They stretched their lead to 26-16 at the 14:50 mark and retired at the half on the long end of a 34 25 score. It was a revitalized, scrapping Webfoot five that took the floor in the second half, as they rallied to knot the count four different times in eight minutes only to falter miserably in the final three minutes. Iten Hays started the first Oregon rally as he canned three field tosses and A1 l’opick added one before the Huskies could hit for a second half field goal. Then the scoring leveled off until the 7:30 mark when the Ducks hit again with Dick Wil kins, Stan Williamson, and l’opick dunking from far out to knot the count at 45-all. The Washington quintet bound ed back into tire lead each time the Webfoots evened the count, however, with the score tied at the 48, 50, and 52 marks. A. long howitzer by Wilkins at the 17:00 mark brought the Ducks to within one point at 57-56, but there the Washington quintet steadied to stall out to viewy. The lemon and green Ducks had their final ohanee to tie the count with a minute to play as they twice took the hall out of bounds—on Washington fouls. Their final effort went awry as l’oplck’s pass hit Hays in the face amt the Huskies took over. A one-hander by Jorgenson and a long set shot by Ed Dick brought the count to G0-5S as the game ended. The Huskies’ Jorgenson was high for the evening with 17. fol Geology Article Printed “Steens Mountain,” an article by Warren D.
