Highlights of the Oregon-WSC series: Oregon increasing
its win streak to three straight with the twin victories over
the Cougars ... Jim Loscutoff getting 25 and 26 paints in each
of the two games ... The big forward's 12 field goals Tuesday,
tieing an Oregon Northern Division record set by Barney
Holland last year when he made the all-time Oregon high
with 32 points against the same Cougar team . . .
Oregon’s effectiveness on their fast.break for the first time
since the Seattle game . . . Loscutoffs seemingly impossible
shots that brought the usually-quiet crowd up roaring . . .
Loscutoff private cheering section in the east floor bleachers
. . . Rav Bell’s great defensive play against Ron Bennink oi
\YSC, holding the ace guard to a measly two field goals in two
games . . .
Pair Out-rebound Cougars
Bell’s seven baskets in 10 shots in Monday night’s game.
. . . Loscutoff’s 10 free throws in 11 tries Monday . . . Max
Anderson’s fine work on the defensive boards . . . Loscutoff
and Anderson out-rebounding the Cougars, 72-63 for the
series ... Transfer Guard LeRoy Nelson’s three out of three
from the floor in his first appearance for the Webfoots Mon
day. ..
An improved shooting average for Oregon from both the
field and the foul line . . . Howard Page's fine leadership on
the floor in both games, including his great shooting Tuesday
following a so-so Monday performance . . . The team’s great
defensive play, in holding the Cougars to only three baskets in
the first half of Monday’s game. . .
Some low spots of this week’s games:: The sloppy play by
the Ducks when they had a lead . .. The poor defense by Ore
gon around the center which let Center Bill Rehder slip
through for several easy lay-ins .. . The poor shooting by Max
Anderson Monday when he dunked only one basket in *10
attempts. ..
benmnk Inaccurate
The disappointing shooting by Bennink who got only two
baskets in 14 attempts for the series . . . The dullness of watch
ing the Cougars substitute like a pro football team, first the
offensive and then the defensive • ..
In the “Looks Fishy to Us” department is the explanation
from Oregon State officials how Dave Gambee, ace Rook ■
center for freshman Coach Paul Valenti, got eligible at the
last minute for the Rooks’ two games last weekend after
previously being declared ineligible. It seems that a pro- i
fessor’s marking mistake was discovered in a class for which
Gambee had been given an F for fall term.
Anyway, the grade was changed to an incomplete on the day
of the first Rook contest and the scholastic committee de
clared him eligible for the game after the big Corvallis center
had made up the work only hours before game time. C.ambee
came in handy, getting 27 points in Saturday’s Rook win.
Comment of the week:: Did Jim Loscutoff really say, ‘‘He
needs a glass of water,” to Referee Al Lightner when WSC
Center Al Kamps was lying on the floor after being injured
in Tuesday’s game.
Castellani Grabs
12-Round Victory
CLEVELAND (AP) — Rocky
Castellani Wednesday night won
a unanimous decision over an
unhappy Holly Mims who car
ried his objections into the dress
ing room and almost engaged the
winner again.
The victory virtually clinched
Castellani another crack at Bobo
Olson’s middleweight title.
Mims, along with his manager,
Nick Trottao, and his trainers
started yelling in the dressing
room that he had been butted
during the fight and rubbed
along the ropes.
Castellani and his entourage
took offense, and for a few brief
moments it appeared the battle
would begin again.
But Castellani’s manager, A1
Naiman, blamed the fuss on “the
heat of battle, and disappoint
ment.”
“Everything’s ironed out now,
everybody’s happy,” he said.
Last August, Castellani lost a
15-round title decision to Olson
in San Francisco’s Cow Palace,
flooring Olson once and going
down once himself.
A crowd of 5,348 saw Mims
take the offensive in the early
rounds, while Castellani cau
tiously bided his time.
The route of the li-round ring
battle seemed to turn after the
fourth round when Mims came
out of a clinch, dabbing his glove
at his right eye, as if something
were in it.
Castellani stepped up the pace
in the sixth, flurrying and land
ing several good blows. In the
seventh he changed styles with
the rushing Mims, wrestled the
other man to the ropes and
tumbled out of the ring with him.
Referee Tony la Branche, trying
tp help them, landed on top.
After Mims was dumped in the
eighth, it was Castellani all the
way, although Mims landed hard
punches in almost every round.
