Webfoots Crush WSC, 73-54
♦ ♦ ♦
Everyone Hits For Points
As Cougar Hopes Killed
By DON FAIR
Lots of things happened at Mc
Arthur court last night, as Oregon
shook a slump to wallop Washing
ton State 73-54. Dick Wilkins, Web
foot forward, set a new all-time
Northern Division scoring record,
the Cougars were rudely bounced
from the Northern Division title
picture, and John Warren’s Ducks
played their best game of the sea
son since the second Washington
contest, before 6500 fans.
The Oregon cagers were deadly
in all departments—from the floor,
from the foul line, and under the
Division Standings

backboards—as they polished off
WSC, to narrow down the league
pennant chase between Oregon
State and Washington. Saturday
night the Webfoots may again have
the opportunity to play a wrecking
crew role when they meet the Ag
gies.
Wilkins Sets Record
High Oregon man for the eve
ning with 15, Dick Wilkins made
a niche for himself in ND records
at 5:50 of the second half, when he
swished home a two-hand 30-footer
to eclipse Red Rocha's total scoring
mark of 634, set last year. Wilkins
now has 639 markers to his credit,
with the lone Aggie game ahead ot
him.
Warren pulled another rabbit out
of the hat last night, when he
started Kenny Seeborg at the for
ward spot, although Seeborg is
normally a guard. And the change
was just what the doctor ordered.
Seeborg Starts
Seeborg flipped in seven points
in the first three minutes to start
the Webfoots off on a scoring spree
which the Cougars couldn’t match.
The Astoria lad started the ball
rolling with a running one-hand
shot from the side which WSC
matched.
Then Seeborg, cleverly switching
his dribble going through the key,
canned a left-hand lay-in. He fol
lowed this up with an underhand
flip from behind the backboard, and
added a charity to put the Ducks
ahead, 9-2.
From here on in, the rest of the
Webfoot team took up the slack,
although the battling Cougars
made a game of it throughout the
greater part of the first half. At
the 13-minu'te mark, the WSC quint
tied the contest for the fifth time.
23-23, which was the last time they
really got close to the determined
Ducks.
Bartelt Hits
Jim Bartelt took over at this
point and hit a long beam-scraping
two-liander, added a free toss, and
dunked an over-'the-head toss from
five feet distant. Bob Amacher,
who again played a dynamite game

University, Hendricks Meet
For Girls' IM Hoop Pennant
By IN >
Harriet Minot of University
house topped the scoring' column
and lead her teammates as they
edged Highland house 35 to 30 in
the last round of the girls’ intra
mural basketball semi-finals. Uni
versity house will play Hendricks
hall this afternoon for the cham
pionship.
Miss Minot made 32 of her
team’s 35 points. The game became
a duel between her and Willie
Earnest of Highland house, who
was never behind though Highland
never behind although Highland
narrowed the margin to one point
several times and once tied the
score. They were unable to muster
offensive strength to take the
lead, however.
Highland's biggest push came in
the third quarter with the score
27 to 25 for University house. Miss
LbUl IK'Ol CIUIIIV UUU III_*11I Idl'nc 111 III
tie the game at 27-27 but a free
throw put the winners back in a
lead they never relinquished.
In the fourth quarter. Highland
matched University house basket
for basket until Miss Minot made
two field goals in rapid succession
to give University house five
points that won the game.
With three minutes to play,
Highland's Hazel Peterson went
out of the game with a leg injury.
The first half of the game was
uneventful, with University house
leading IP to 1G at the break. The
second half moved more rapidly as
Highland tried desperately to win
the game that would give them a
berth in the finals. Speedy ball
handling and good passing among
the forwards characterized the
winners, although the victory was
due to Miss Minot’s shooting.

Frosh Take Marshfield
In Third Stanza, 62-45
By GLENN GILLESPIE
Playing under the handicap of a
home crowd’s jeers and boos, the
University of Oregon Freshman
basketball team defeated Marsh
field’s defending champion Pirates,
62-45, last night at McArthur court,
in a preliminary battle before the
varsity game. This was win niim
ber 15 for the Frosh, against four
defeats.
It was Marshfield’s third defeat
this season, and the second time
that the Frosh have beaten them.
The Heldtmen took a 57-47 win
from the Pirates last Saturday
night at Coos Bay.
It was the sharp shooting of Dick
Mase which kept the Duckling
score jumping in the first half, and
Don Peterson warmed up after the
intermission to bang in all 15 of his
points. Mase, who started last night
for the second time this week, is
the most improved ball player on
the Frosh squad. He collected 13
points, mostly close in and played
a hard game under the boards.
Along with Urban and Taffesell,
the Frosh had the backboards un
der control most of the way.
Monty Hot
Rangy Bob Montgomery, a
tricky ball-handler, hit three field
goals in the first quarter to lead
the Pirates. He topped Marshfield
scoring with 12. Mase and Brad
Fullerton led the Frosh to a 18-11
first-quarter margin, with eight
and four points respectively.
Both teams cooled off in the sec
ond quarter, the Frosh scoring only
three points, and Marshfield eight.
Scoring came thick and fast in
the second half, with both squads
going full steam. Peterson, Fuller
ton, and Jack Keller did most of
the Frosh point-making, while
Montgomery and Don Bruce kept
Bill Borcher’s preppers in the con
test.
Frosh Spurt
The Yearlings started pulling
away in this half, and the younger
Pirates just couldn’t keep up. Tihrd
quarter score was 41-32, Frosh.
Peterson was high for the Frosh
with 15 second-half points. Mase’s
13 and ten each by Keller and Ful
lerton tells the story. Mase and Ful
lerton led the Frosh in the first
Marshfield game, scoring 21 points
between them.
Marshfield took 57 shots from
the floor and hit 15, for a .263 per
centage. The Ducklings cast off 78
times and connected tor 26 baskets,
a respectable .333 percentage.
One of the metal hoops gave up
the ghost after the first half, and
it flooped around loosely when hit
by a ball. It was repaired between
games.
Spectators, mostly Oregon stu
dents, gave their Frosh team an all
around bad time. It seemed like the
game was being played <?n Marsh
field’s home court, with the ma
jority of cheering for the high
school lads.
