    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.

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
