USF Cagers Edge Webfoots, 62-58 Late Duck Rally Falls Short; Squads Collide Again Tonight A whirlwind second-half rally al most netted John Warren’s scrap py Ducks a win over highly-rated University of San Francisco, but the ball-handling of the Dons al lowed the Bay area quint to eke out an exhausting 62-58 win. It was big Roger Wiley leading the Webfoots in the second half, after a miserable opening period. The Webfoots tralied at half by 17 points, 35-18, but hit .457 from the field after intermission to outscore the visitors 40-27 in the second stanza. “Hot Dog” was having a miser able time getting anything through the hoop before halftime, dunking only one out of seven attempts. But he added seven field goals and four free throws, 18 tallies, to bring his total for the game to 20, a tie with Dan Lofgran for high point honors. The Dons gave a good indication of why they are rated eighth in the nation when they started out with a bang. Wiley gave the Webfoots their only lead of the game on a tip in in the first 30 seconds, but limber Lofgran canned a push shot and send USF on their way. Paced by Lofgran and pivotman Joe McNamee, the Dons rolled up a 16-4 lead and wouldn’t let Oregon get any closer until the final min utes of the tilt. With six minutes gone after in termission, USF boasted their longest lead, 49-28, and looked ready to increase that margin. But the Ducks rallied, with Wiley show ing the way, to close the gap stead ily to the final four-point differ ence. The linai points ui me game: came on a long one-hander by Paul Sowers with over two minutes left. From there on out, the Dons stalled and kept the ball most of the way despite frantic Oregon at tempts to get it. The VVebfoots rolled up nine fouls in that brief period, with three Ducks picking up their fifth personals. USF was paced in scoring by their two big men, Lofgran with 20 and McNamee with 15. Little Rene Herrerias, who is 22 years old but looks about 15, sparkled for the Dons with his ball-handling, be sides dropping in four of five shots from the field, all long one-handers. Urban was the big show for the Webfoots, when he finally got roll ing, Little Bob Lavey helped the Box Score SFU FG FT PF TP Lofgran, f .7 Benington, f .0 McNameee, c .6 Herrerias, g .-4 Kuzara, g .2 Giesen, f .1 Guidice, g .1 Totals .21 6 0 3 2 4 1 4 20 4 0 2 2 4 1 5 18 20 0 15 10 8 3 6 62 Oregon Urban, f .

Duck pivotman spark the attack, winding up with 10 tallies, the same number as Paul Sowers who was also instrumental in the Oregon second-half surge. The Dons, who usually have about a .240 average from the field, hit one of their hot nights and wound up with .368. Oregon, after hitting for only .200 in the first stanza, blistered the twine for .457 and wound up with an overall aver age of .329. It might well have been a differ ent story if Wiley had hit in the opening half as he did after inter mission when he got his seven field goals on 13 shots, but they just wouldn’t stay in.

The first half was close, with (de fensive play predominating. It end ed in a deadlock, 19-19, after four previous ties.

While the Beavers were blanking all the other Washington Staters, though, Gayda tossed in 14 points in the first 11:15 minutes of the second half. Oregon State mean while made 15 and held a 34-33 lead. The Beavers never lelinquished it. With 5Vi minutes to go the Ore gon State edge was only 43-41, but then free throws moved the mar gin slowly up to four points. Har vey Watt, reserve ecenter, drop ped in a field goal to make it 50-44. With 3:45 minutes remaining, Oregon State began stalling with a 50-46 lead. The maneuver was suc cessful.
