Duck Matmen
Fall to WSC
Washington State came out vic
torious in their wrestling, match
with the University of Oregon by
a 28-3 score at McArthur Court
Wednesday afternoon.
The two teams had to cancel
the final two grapples that were
scheduled because of a time con
flict with the Oregon Frosh-Lin
field jayvee basketball game
which had to get underway at
5:45 p. m.
The Cougars, who are known
all over the country for their
strong wrestling teams were just
a little too strong for the deter
mined but sadly outmanned
Ducks. Bill Hammer’s boys put
out all they had and in some of
the bouts came very close to win
ning but only one Webfoot was
able to pick up any points for his
team.
The one Oregon winner was
Bob Reid, who won his match from
Don Parachini in the 157 pound
class.
Ducklings Rap
Linfield Quintet
The Oregon Frosh rolled to a
lopsided 79-47 win over the out
classed Linfield JV's in q_prelim
inary game Wednesday night.
The Frosh broke t$e game wide
open in the second quarter after
a slow first period, and increas
ed the margin steadily as the
game progressed.
After trailing 18-15 at the end
of the first stanza, the Ducklings
came on to score 21 points in the
second period while holding Lin
field to 11, and led 37-27 at half
time. Frank Werner and John
Lundell accounted for 16 of the
points in that period.
Linfield started four men in_the
second half who hadn't been off
the bench in the first half, and
they responded by-going scoreless
in the four minutes they were in
the game. By the end of the
period the Frosh led 56-33.
Bill Moore, the former all-state
center from The Dalles, led all
scorers with 14 points. Werner
was second with 13, ar.d Havener
led Linfield with 12. • Jack Mc
Clenahen, who came in in the final
period for the Frosh, scored 11.

Cougars Upset
Oregon Cagers
A rejuvenated Washington
State basketball team pulled
one of the biggest upsets of
the current season at McArthur
Court \\ ednesday night as
they led almost all the way to
defeat Oregon’s highly ' fa
vored Ducks 74-68.
The Cougars scored their
spectacular win despite one of
the greatest individual perform
ances seen at the "Igloo" in many
years. Guard Barney Holland of
the host team hit the net from all
angles on the floor and wound up
the evening with a tremendous
total of 32 points. Holland hit for
12 field goals and added eight foul
tosses in as many tries in marking
up nearly half' of the Oregon
points.
HOLLAND SETS RECORD
Holland's scoring outburst set
a new record for Oregon players
in Northern Division action. Bob
Peterson held the old record of
28 points which he set against
Washington in the 1951 season.
Jack Friel's Cougars won the
game mainly as the result of
some brilliant passing and faking
which literally tore the Webfoot
defense to threads. Time and time
again WSC players broke loose for
easy lay-in buckets as a result of
their tricky floor manedvering.
After spotting Bill Borchers
crew an early first quarter lead
the Cougars took command of the
game midway in the second period
and after this time were never
behind. Score at halftime was
36-28 fo rthe lads from Pullman,
Washington.
Most of the spectators in at
tendance expected the underdog
Cougars to fold-in the final two
quarters but it was not to be.
Washington State continued to
dominate play all the way through
the third ten minute session and
at its conclusion had a very com
fortable 53-41 lead.
DUCKS RALLY
The Ducks, finally realizing they
were very definitely in danger of
losing their third conference game,
came to life in the last stanza. Led
by the shooting of Holland and
some nice ball hawking by Bob
Hawes the Webfoots began to
creep up on their opponents.
With only 71 seconds remaining
