The defeat all but stifled what ever championship aspirations the Chicks entertained, and coupled vavith University of Idaho's double ^triumph over Washington State •(college, threw the division into a ■Cwo-hor.se race.

As Frank Guisness dominated *the earlier, series at Seattle, so also •did Bob Houbregs, Washington's elongated twist-shot magician. The ^six-foot, seven-inch. 19 year-old •junior from Seattle’s Queen Anne Jhigh school established a new Mac •court record for total points in a •two-game series—58. Twenty-Eight More Houbregs tossed in 28 points in -4he finale, including a pair of hook .alBhots and an easy set shot at the -outset of the fourth quarter to *|-ivp the Huskies a 10-point, 61-51 (lead with five minutes and 30 sec onds to play. Until then the Ducks ••remained in contention, their max «traum deficit being seven points. Referees John Green and Tim ■ ^McCullough had a troublesome evening chasing down violations, ^separating would-be fighters, and -avoiding being kicked in the seat of the pants. McCullough enacted 4(he finishing touch in the last 50 seconds of play by accidentally ««fcayoing Forward Frank Guisness. BOB HAWES, Sophomore Duck guard who played a good game Saturday, netting 12 points. During a brief time out. the referee backed up on the unaware Mr. Guisness and sent him sprawling. The all-American possibility was removed, free from serious injury, but a bit chagrined. Coach Bill Borcher's Webfoots stunned the Washingtonians twice in the first half by running up a 12-6 lead and then slipping behind by eight points, only to score 11 consecutive digits against the pace setters. Blazing the Oregon trail was pivot-man Chet Noe. who scored 20 points on nine field goals and two free throws. Noe manufactured two-thirds of the Ducks' first quar ter output of 12 on four buckets. Guisness and Houbregs crashed a couple of field goals and Captain Mike McCutchen connected with a jump-shot from the free throw line for a 12-12 quarter score.

NEW Taylors Campus Coffee Shop Washington capitalized on Ore gon's inept rebounding and poor ball-handling to draw away at the 5:00 mark by a 22-14 count. Ron Bottler thereupon went berserk, registering three quick casts for three quick buckets. Guard Bob Hawes broke the deadlock with a 10-foot push and added an extra pointer. Gulsness banked a lay-in for the Huskies before the gun. Oregon led. 28-27 at the half. The visitors almost immediately took the lead from the Ducks and gained a near static, four to six point edge througout the third quarter.

The Ducks collapsed after Houbregs dumped in a couple of lay-ups and Doug McClary did likewise. Washington stalled out the re maining five minutes and 40 sec onds, drawing Houbregs out from under the bucket and making the Ducks' task an impossible one. Washington notched 25 of Its 74 floor attempts for a 34 per cent ration. Oregon succeeded on one third of Its shots.

Matthews Takes Over By halftime, with Caldcrwood leading the way, they rolled to a 34-19 bulge while holding the Ducklings to eight points. With Calderwood being somewhat cool ed from his hectic shooting in the first half, Matthews took over the scoring punch in the final two heats by netting 14 points, all of them being field goals. Besides being second In scoring with 20 counters, Matthew proved to be a stellar backboard man, grabbing off most of the rebounds for his team.
