Close Call
In their Friday night clash with
the Huskies Oregon had as close
of a call as is possible, winning by
a narrow 77-76 margin. But on
Saturday it was a different story
as the Webfoots took command
early in the game and ran to a
decisive 64-48 win.
Tippy Dye's Washington five
opened the Friday evening clash
in such impressive fashion that it
appeared for awhile as if they
were going to run the Ducks right
off the floor. Led by forward Bob
Bryan and center Dean Parsons,
the Huskies jumped ahead and
midway in the first quarter they
held a comfortable 21-12 lead.
This nine point lead was to be
the high water mark for the visi
ting five, though, as just when
things were looking the darkest
for the host crew they began to
find the range. Ed Halbcrg, Bob
Hawes, and Barney Holland hit
quick buckets and Jerry Ross ad
ded a free throw in the waning
minutes of the initial stanza and
at its conclusion the Ducks were
only down by four points, 23-19.
Ducks Take Lead
Washington's lead lasted only
about thiee minutes into the sec
ond quarter as the Oregon quin
tet continued to hit from all ang
les. Ken Wegner's left-handed
hook shot from the side put his
team in front 26-25 and from here
the Huskies didn't catch up until
late in the final quarter.
By halftime the Ducks- were on
the long end of a 40-31 score and
appeared to be on their way to an
easy victory.
If the Webfoots had any easy
game ideas, though, they were to
be rudely shocked by the determ
ined Huskies in the second half.
After playing on even terms with
the Ducks in the third quarter the
Dycmen began to creep up in the
last ten minute chucker. Sopho
more forward Karl Voegtlin and
guard Don Tripp began to hit
from far out and with the help of
reserve Ron Patnoe the Huskies

With about four minutes left,

made it 68-65, Oregon, but Voegt

the key to pull the visitors within
one point of their opponents. One
minute later it was a new ball
game when Dean Parsons brought
his team even with the Ducks
at 70-all with a hook shot.
From here on in it was a dog
eat-dog battle. Ross and Wegner
hit two points apiece but with
only forty seconds remaining
Washington fought back up to
only trail by a 75-74 tally. With
Oregon trying to stall the game
out Halberg was fouled with less
than twenty seconds to go. The
lanky Duck forward had plenty
of pressure on him but showed lit
tle effects of it as he swished both
of his foul tosses and iced the
game for the Webfools.
Two free throws by Patnoe just
before the final buzzer caused
much excitement among game
spectators but it didn’t change the
outcome of tire fracas in the
