Crandall Sinks
29 in Sparking
Overtime Win
By Dick Cramer
Oregon State’s Beavers, kept
in the game by Cliff Crandall
and sparked to the eventual win
by Tommy Holman, walked off
with the Northern Division title
by downing Oregon’s Web
foots, 79-72, in the second over
time period.
Crandall played sterling ball
throughout the game, chalking up
29 points to easily top all scorers.
He was the key man in setting up
plays and, except for Holman's bril
liant performance in the closing
moments of the tilt, would have
been the hero supreme among the
Orangemen.
THE CHUNKY GUARD entered
the game for the first time with
only around five minutes remain
ing, stole the ball and dropped in a
lay in, cutting the margin to 60-55
for Oregno. A minute later, with
only 10 seconds left in the regula
tion time he dropped in a long two
hander and then stole the ball, hit
another fielder, was fouled, and
•canned the gift toss to tie the game.
• The two quints battled on even
terms throughout the first extra
period, which ended 69-69. But in
ttie second overtime Slats Gill’s
boys hit for seven straight points
for a 76-69 lead and they coasted
from there.
Roger Wiley was the big Web
foot star, dumping in 25 tallies to
break his own Oregon record for
one season, 223 points compared to
the 219 record he set last year.
THE GAME was the best seen on
McArthur Court this season. Both
teams played outstanding ball, and
the shooting was terrific. The
Beavers hit from the field at a .457
clip, while the Webfoots were shoot
ing at a .406 average.
The game opened slowly, with
the score tied at 5-5 after five min
utes. Blit after that the pace quick
ened, with both teams hitting very
well. Oregon slowly pulled ahead
With Johnny Neeley and Paul Sow
ers shooting over the zone and hit
ting well.
The Ducks held their longest lead
ot the evening with eleven and one
half minutes gone, 23-15. Crandall
and Harvey Watt closed the lead,
and the Beavers finally tied up the
game at 26-all when Crandall drop
ped in a gifter.
»» IIjCji PUT the Webfoots two
op with two gifters and Sowers
canned a long one-hander to make
the margin four points. Hay Sny
der countered with a pair of free
throws and Crandall hit a push
shot to tie the game at 30-30.
Bartelt countered with a one
hander and Neeley drove down on
•he fast break to give the Webfoots
a 34-30 lead they held at half.
I'he second half opened slowly,
with Wiley getting one and Will
Urban two gifters to open the scor
ing. Crandall got two field goals
u th one by Bartelt in between, to
ei t the margin slightly. Then a
ft -e throw by Paul Sliper and an
other by Crandall cut the margin to
three points.
I UK I.KAII stayed with Oregon
for ttie rest of the regulation time
with margins from three to six
p> ints, until Holman put on his
whirlwind act.

Each squad tanked 10 points in
the third period, which was featured
by the scrappiness of the Warriors,

the aid of a good fast-break and
fight under the backboards.

Boh Patterson with 11 and Joe Ab
