inc Oregon .State Beavers vault
ccl into a tic with the University |
of Oregon for the Northern Di
vision leadership Friday night,
January 29, when they thorough
ly trounced the loop leading Ducks,
52-41, at Gill Coliseum in Cor
vallis.
The Orangemen took command
of the game early in the second
quarter and were never threaten
ed by the outplayed lads of Coach
Bill Borcher.
In the final analysis of the!
game Oregon State’s zone defense, j
which is as tight as a drumhead, i
proved to be just a little too much
for the Oregons to penetrate. Go
ing into the tussle with an average
of better than seventy points per
game the Ducks were held to by
far their lowest point total of the
season.
OSC outscored their opponents
in every quarter except the final
one, when the Ducks racked up 16
counters to the Beavers’ 12. Whe
ther this is an indication that the
losers had finally found themselves

occurred with only a minute hav
ing been played in the second stan
za. With the Ducks in front by a
17-10 score, Borcher had his team
go into a deep freeze stall. And
what a stall it was! Guard Bar
ney Holland stood near midcourt
with the ball under his arm and
one hand on his hip and literally
waited for the Beavers to come and
get the ball.
Beavers Battled
The Beavers were so rattled by
the stalling antics of their oppon
ents that they failed to make a
-‘■ingle field goal in the whole sec
ond quarter and as a result found
themselves trading at halftime
23-17.
Oregon continued to pull away
in the third quarter until at one
time with about six minutes left
in the period they held a comfort
able ten point cushion, 33-23. This
margin was short lived, though,
because at this time the visitors
began to find themselves.
Big Tony Vlastelica hit with a
hook shot and a free throw and
Halbrook dunked in his first two
baskets of the game to change the
complexion of the contest. Ron
Robins connected from far out
with a two-hander and the Gill
men were only in arrears by a 33
32 count. Anderson hit a hook
shot to break the OSC spell just
at the third quarter buzzer and
the Ducks held a three point lead
35-32.
Wild Last Quarter
This set the stage for the don
nybrook last period that was to
follow. Paced by Anderson and
forward Jerry Rosa, Oregon man
aged to stay in front until there
were less than five minutes re
maining to play when a free toss
by Vlastelica tied up the ball
game, 37-all.
Ed Halberg jumped one in for
the Ducks and Halbrok hit on a
charity pitch for the Beavers.
Then came the most important
basket of the game. It came on a
scramble under the OSC back
board. Halbrook and Anderson
jumped for a loose ball. They both
got their hands on it but not for
long. The ball bounced off their
finger tips and right into the bas
ket. No one is quite sure just
which one of the boys the bucket
should be credited to, but, at any
k rate was two points for the
Ducks and in the end was to mean
( the ball game.
Satchel Paige, who has probably
k been in organized baseball longer
than any other player, was given
his unconditional release from the'
Baltimore Orioles of the American
League. No one but old "Satch”
knows just how long he has been
playing baseball, but it is undoubt
edly a record.
or Oregon State was just begin
ning to coast with their big lead is
something no one is able to know.
Althougn Halbrook’s scoring
was a big factor in the final out
come of the game, it was by no
means the only thing which made
the Beavers superior to their foes.
Probably of even more importance
was the tremendous rebounding
strength of the Staters’ three big
men, Halbrook, Dean, and White
man. They showed a definite edge
over the Ducks on the backboards
and this enabled the Beavers to
take many more shots at the bas
ket than the shorter Webfoots.

Webfoots Jubilant
After OSC Win
All was jubilant in the Univer
sity of Oregon dressing room after
Saturday night’s thrilling basket
ball victory over the favored Ore
gon State Beavers.
Weary, but happy, the Oregon
players all wore wide grin9 on
their faces. Most of them still
couldn’t quite believe that they
had actually downed Slats Gill s
giant Orangemen.
Another individual who showed
an overjoyed expression of relieved
tension was Webfoot coach, Bill
Borcher.
When asked wnat he thought
was the turning point of the ball
game Borcher replied that when
the Beavers came out of their
zone defense in the second quarter
it was a move the Ducks had been
hoping for all evening. He said
that this put pressure on
ponents and also put pressure on
the Beavers’ giant center, Wade
Halbrook, who was forced tc
guard the Ducks’ Max Anderson
man for man.
Borcher wouldn't name any one
player for special mention, be
cause, he said: "I just can’t name
one man. They were all great.'’
Everyone present in the dress
ing room was in complete agree
ment that this was the most im
portant win the Ducks have scored
all year. long. If Oregon State had
won their second straight over
| Oregon with a victory, Saturday
night, odds definitely wcuM have
been against the Ducks in their
driving hopes of winning the Nor
thern Division championship this
year.
