Lead From Webfoots
Oregon Drops
First Tilt, 74-36
By RickTari
Tlic University of Oregon
varsity basketball team suffer
ed its worst defeat of the season
at the hands of the Washington
Huskies in Seattle hriday night
bv a score of 74-3<i. Previous to
the Kdmundson 1 ’a\ i 11 ion dis
aster, the greatest margin of
points over the \\ ebfoots was
seven when they were dropped
bv Wyoming.
The unbelievable 38 point margin
racked up by the Huskies came as
a surprise even to the most con
vinced Washington supporters.
Oregon has never been any farther
‘ off while Tippy Dye‘s outfit was
as hot as the well known two-bit
pistol.
Good Defense
With the score at 6-5 midway in
the first period. Guinness & com
pany went to work and decided to
make three buckets to Oregon's
one. The opening period score of
14-6 gave an indication of things
to come. Coach Borcher began try
ing every possible combination as
all twelve of the squad saw action
during the course of the night.
From the start it was evident
that the Washington defense was
taking no chances with the pre
viously dangerous Duck fast-break.
They employed a full court press
ing defense highlighted by the hall
hawking genius of Joe (ipriuno.
Center Doug McClary carried out
his task of controlling Oregon's
ace Bob Peterson so well, that the
big boy tanked only two field goals
duiing the game. It was this glue
like defensive game as much as
the Oregon team's sub-par shoot
ing that accounted for the low
score.
HI' Solves Defense
Ironically the Huskies found Ore
gon’s alternate zone and man-to
man defense just to their liking.
Shots came in from every angle,
making the secretly practiced sys
tem look harmless.
With tiie score 33.17 at the open
ing of the third period, Washington
came out best in a wild flurry with
three baskets in approximately
thirty seconds. Almost every time ;
the play got wild, a Washington ,
man would lie found all alone un
der the basket for an easy shot.

Ilorcher Experiments
Faced with a 57-2r> deficit start*
I ing the fourth stanza Borcher
j settled down to trying as many
^ combinations as possible. Nothing

their superiors.
Frank Quisness was top man for
the Huskies with nineteen. Duane
Enochs, the long-shot marksman,
was second with fourteen. The
two injured Washington men, Doug
McClary and Bob Houbregs, re
covered miraculously just before
the game to aid greatly in ruining
i the hapless Webfoots.

UW Repeats
With 64-39 Win
By Larry Lavelle
What promised to have been
a touch and no Northern Divi
sion race took on tlx- aspect
of a walkaway following Uni
versity of Washington'-, 64-3')
[rout of the visiting University
of ( >regon Ducks Saturday j
night in KdinumDon I’aviltion,
Seattle.
A near turn-away crowd of 12,- j
000 muw the home-town Huskies
break a relatively close game wide
open in the third quarter, to win
going uway. The victory completotf
u disasterous two game series
which saw the winners vault into
1 the league lead with 5 wins and
1 one defeat. Oregon toppled from
first into third, a full game behind
the University of Idaho
Full Court Defense
Coach Tippy Dye of the Huskies
utilized the same tactics which
produced a surprisingly easy, 71
30 decision over the Ducks the
previous evening. Dye stymied the j
Webfoota’ fast-break by employing
a pressing, full-court defense which
continually harried the frustrate! j
Eugene team.
By double -1 earning Oregon's ace,
Bol» Peterson, the Huskies bottled
up the nation's lending rebounder;
it was not uncommon for (lie Wash
ingtonians to take four and five
siiots in a row at the bucket, thanks
to the work of Duane Enochs, Doug
Mct'lary, and Bob Houbregs.
Houbrrgs and McClary seemed to
l>c fully recovered from their "leg
Injuries,’’ which only added to th"
miseries of the woeful-shooting
Ducks.
The Ducks pestered the new
pace.setters, opening up a quick
4-0 lead before Frank Guinness
could add the first of his 17 points
which was high for the night's
work. Chet Noe, Duck center,
potted a hook shot for on 8-6 lead,
but Guisness meshed a free toss
and a slippery one from Nooksack
valley, Guard Joe Cipriano squirted
through for a lay up and a 9-8
Washington margin.
Huskies I-cud at Half
Moments later Bottler tacked uj*.
two points on a set up but a bucket
by Mike McCutcheon and two more
charities for Guisness handed the
Huskies a 15-11 reading at the
quarter.
The two maintained the same
ratio throughout the second period,
the point spread never exceeding
seven points nor dropping under
four markers. Washington led 2,r>
19 at the intermission.

period. Jlfter that the Ducks’ fu- 1
: tillty was apparent. (iulsness and

out the duration of the canto; only 1
McClary’s hook interrupted the
: monotony. Washington led by an
insurmountable 41-27 tally enter
ing the final ten minutes.
! Twelve Oregon fouls in the finale
i added to the Puget Sound gang's
upsurge. Both coaches substituted
' freely in what was a ragged ex
hibition of basketball.
St. Marys Next

Washington Huskies in McArthur
court. It is a must series for the
