Redwings Crush
Corvallis, 18-6
Slamming home goals almost as
fast as they could get tlieir sticks
on them, Eugene’s Redwings
brought the curtain down on the
first half of the Oregon Hockey
league season with a loud thud here
'll Hiursday night by crushing Cor
vallis, 18-fi.
Two Redwings, Roger Newton
and Tom Gillespie, bettered the hat
ttrick by one in knocking four goals
apiece, but it remained for Joe
Worth to really take the night’s
honors.
Worth Totals 7
The young wing pushed in two
goals and added five assists for
seven points.
To add insult to injury, John Ol
trc n and Don Severson turned the
1 at trick for the locals. For the
battered Beavers, Jim Rodgers
came through for three.
From the very outset Corvallis
Goalie Bob Honan was aware that
he was in for a rugged evening.
Bead From Start
tn the initial canto the league
leading Redwings stepped out with
a 5-2 advantage, and their attack
never relented.
The victory left the Redwings
four points ahead of'second-place
Salem.
Wiley Tosses in 19 Points
While Gayda Stymied
By DICK CRAMER
Oregon’s scrappy Webfoots, paced by Roger Wiley’s stellar
19-point performance, handed Washington State’s defensive
minded Cougars a 49-38 trouncing on McArthur Court last
night. The loss dropped WSC to second place behind idle Ore
gon State.
Wiley was the big cog in the Duck win, whirling in 10 points
in the first half and nine more following intermission. The scor
ing duel between the Webfoot star
pivotman and the Cougars highly
rated forward, Eddie Gayda, fail
ed to materialize. Will Urban stuck
to Gayda like glue, and all the 205
pound junior could get was four gift
tosses. He didn't get a single field
goal.
f
‘Hot Dog’ Hot
Big Rog was strictly on the hot
side, hitting seven for thirteen from
the field, for a very good .539 aver
age. He also hit five out of six free
throw attempts.
The splurge, along with Gayda’s
lack of points, gave W iley a 53 point
bulge over the Cougar. He lias 1G3
points in 11 contests for a 14.8 av
erage, compared to Gayda’s 110 in
9 games for 12.2.
Johnny Neeley, who was able to
play only briefly, under doctor’s or
deis, hit the first bucket of the
game in the opening 10 seconds and
the Webfoots were off and never
headed or tied.
Ducks Slowly Build Lead
The game started slowly, with
the Ducks gradually building up
their lead. Five minutes had gone
by before Bob Gambold canned the
first fielder for the Cougars, and
t he narrowest they were able to cut
the Oregon lead after that was to
three points.
The VVelifoots won the game in
the first half, leading 30-19 at in
termission. Washington State was
able to clbse that margin in the
second half, but Oregon came back
to win by the 11 points they had
built up in the initial period.
The Cougars opened up their at
tack a little after halftime, with
Bob Elliot canning two shots in the
first minute.
Cut 13-Point Swarth
Three minutes went by before
Paul Sowers dunked in a one hand
er for Oregon’s first talies, but
Wiley added a fast break lay-in and
Sowers dropped in two from the
gift line for a 13 point margin.
From there WSC closed it down
to five points, at 3(5-31, with Leon
Mangis’ long two-handers doing the
dirty work.
Two field goals by Wiley, one on
a nice pass from Bob Lavey, plus

there.
Charity Tosses Help
Washington State- had a better
percentage from the field, .313 to
.291, but Oregon had one more
bucket and nine more free throws.
The Ducks were more proficient
at foul shooting, canning 17 of 27
tries to 8 out of 16 for WSC.
Sowers chipped in with 10 points
and played a fine floor game.
Gayda, though held down from
the field, did well on the boards,
outplaying everybody else in that
respect. Elliott, with eight, and
Gambold, with seven, were tops for
the Cougars in scoring.
WILEY GOES WILD — That’s
the story of Big Roger Wiley’s
five-star performance against
Washington State last night when
he dropped in 19 points. In his
last three games, “Hot Dog” has
rimmed 58 tallies, shoving him
far in front in ND scoring.

Settecase, Chaney Come Through
Phil Settecase ended the Duck
ling scoring drought with a left
hander from the key, and sub center
John Chaney iced things with a
field goal and a pair of free throws.

away for the visitors, as Guard

Duckling Forward Bill Clausen
promptly banged in a one-handed
push shot from the corner to keep
his mates in the game at this point.

make the score, Morris 9, Frosh 8.
Clancy Hultgen, starting his first
