Webfoots Spill Santa Clarans
An alert, ball-liawking band of
Ducks from the University of Ore
gon stunned the University of San
ta Clara Broncos, defending NCAA
Western champions, 65-62 Wednes
day night in McArthur court.
Barney Holland, who only a
couple of weeks ago exchanged
his moleskins for a casaba outfit,
set a torrid pace for the Webfoots,
bucketing 11 points in the second
half while his teammates erased
a 35-34 edge and built up a margin
of their own.
Coach Bob Ferrick’s , Prune
valley lads showed how they
knocked off the University of
Wyoming and UCLA at Corvallis
a year ago in the district finals,
by building up an 11-3 cushion
after five minutes of action. The
Webfoots, apparently awed by
the Santa Clara story, looked
ed.
ragged anil conipliktply out-class
But the tale quickly changed
with Ken Wegner adding a 20-foot
push, a free throw by rangy Ed
Halberg, and a tip-in and lay up
by Bob Stoutt, interrupted by Dick
Garibaldi’s charity shot, narrowed
the gap to 12-10. A smooth left
hand hook shot by Chet Noe and
an all-alone lay-up by Holland
knotted the count at the quarter,
14-14.
The second period was touch and
go most of the way. Santa Clara
took an 18-14 lead but the Web
foots tied it. Ken Sears then hit
with a one-hand jump shot to put
the Broncs in front 20-18. And the
Saints retained their edge for the
remainder of the first half.
Rebounding by Noe, who grab
bed 20 of them off the back
boards, was a great assist to the
Webfoots in the second half. A
rebound shot by Holland put Bill
Boreher’s crew in the lead for
keeps early in the third-quarter,
89-37. Although never headed,
the yV'elifoot margin was often
precarious. Three baskets apiece
by the two-hand set expert Jim
Young and the six-foot eight
inch Sears in the final 20 minutes
kept the Ducks on edge.
Oregon led 53-51 at the outset
of the fourth quarter. After Sears
had hooked in a two-pointer to
bring the Broncs to 55-54 the Web
foots quickened the pace. Bob
Hawes let fly with a jump shot
from the free throw line, Holland
counted once, and Halberg racked
up a tip in on Hawes' archer and
then hit for a 20-footer. Only Sears'
foul shot interrupted the barrage
and Oregon led 62-55 with 3:50.
Sears counted twice close
in set shot and a lay up and the

AAU Quintet
In Preliminary
The Oregon Frosh repulsed a
strong second half bid by Hewitt's
Market and went on to win, 68-58,
in the preliminary to the Santa
Clara-Oregon clash at McArthur
court Wednesday night.
Jack Keller, an ex-Oregon hoop
er who plays for the local AAU
entry, topped scorers with 17
points, followed closely by 67”
Frosh center, Max Anderson, who
potted 16.
Coach Don Kirsch's freshman
scored first and ran up an early
8-1 lead on free throws, and
lengthened it out to 32-21 at the
half.
Hewitt's, however, came blazing
back after the intermission and
with Keller, Krause, Jack McEl
vary, and Paul Souers hitting from
all corners, narrowed the count at
the .end of the third quarter to
16-44.
The AAU team, with two min
utes gone in the fourth quarter,
closed the gap entirely to 46-46 as
Gene Hebard scored from five feet
in front of the basket, but Dick
Schlossteni put the Frosh back in
the lead to stay with a lay-in just
five secohds later.
The margin wavered between
thre and six points after that, but
fine shooting by Dick James and
John Foster built a final ten-point
spread.
Outstanding for Hewitt’s were
their two guards, Keller and
Krause, while Max Anderson was
the top scorer for the Frosh and
hauled in many rebounds.

Ducks Twice Tip
Visiting Cardinals
University of Oregon's scrappy
basketball quint turned the tables
on an invading tribe of favored
Stanford Indians lust Friday and
Saturday night and instead of fall
ing to the Cards the Ducks won
in the two close frays, 73-68 and
74-64.
It was mostly the efforts of e
longated Chet Noe that the Web
foots emerged victorious. In the
first encounter, the senior center
dumped in 22 tallies; while the sec
ond game saw him garner 19.
On the other hand minute Kon
Tomsic wedded a potential war
club for Coach Bob Burnett's tow
ering Indians. This 5 foot. 11 inch
guard led a determined Stanford
rally in the first contest which
missed by only seven points, and
kept the losers in most of the game
the following night.
All told, his exertions provided
13 points for two games—a com
mendable total, considering to
day’s emphasis on the tall men.
In the opening home-stander,
Coach Bill Borcher's basketeers
put on a sparkling first half of
basketball before 6,000 cozy spec
tators, leading at the intermission,
14-28. But behind Tomsic, who
potted five straight field goals, the
opponents closed the gap to 64-62,
just as the last period was opening.
It took an effective stall and
some accurate shooting by Kenny
Wegner, Barney Holland and Bob
Hawes to salvage the contest for
Oregon.
, The Saturday evening brawl saw
more of the same rugged tight ac
tion. Stanford clamped a tight zone
defense on the Ducks and it wasn't
until the last quarter that Oregon
pulled even. At that point Chet
Noe put Oregon in the lead for
good with a gift toss that broke
a 50-50 tie.
