Oregon and Washington fought
to a basketball standoff In a
rousing pair of games played
over the weekend at McArthur
court, with the Huskies taking
a 54-52 overtime decision Friday
night and the Ducks winning
Saturday, 64-63.
With the split Hill Borcher's
Webfoots remain in second place
in the Division race, four full
games behind the unbeaten Ore
gon State Beavers. Washington
came out of the cellar with tin*
split as Idaho was losing twice
to OSC at Moscow.
A second-half comeback Fri
day almost netted a win for the
Ducks, but Washington hung on
for a tie at the end of regula
tion time, 49-49. A field goal and
| three free tonnes gave Tippy
Dye's forces the win, with Ore
gon’s Jim Loscutoff making it
close with a final tipin. The 6’ 5"
Duck star was high point man
over UVV's Dean Parsons, 27-26.
Oregon led throughout the
first half Saturday, but suf
fered a shooting drought early
! in the second half and lost their
J6-29 halftime lead. But How
ard Page's fine hall-hawking and
Max Anderson's clutch foul
shooting gave Oregon the game
, in the final minute. Loscutoff had
20 to lead all scorers.

Washington's control of the
backboards and Oregon's in
, efficiency at the free throw line
combined to give the Huskies an
<*dge, but the issue wasn’t de
jcided until Luscotoff's final des

at the overtime horn.

apiece, Oregon's Jerry Boss <

by Guard Doyle Perkina’ jump

foula, with Ftoaa making one and
MAX ANDERSON
Two for the Money
Washington's Don Sunitsch
counting two.
Loscutoff tipped a stray shot
in to put his team two points
back, but several more Duck
shots were off, and the Huskies
had the game.
The end of regulation play
was equally tense, as Sunitsch
just missed a long set shot after
a two-minute stall situation. An
derson rebounded and passed to
Ross, whose final heave at the
basket was way short.
Parsons, a nemesis to the Ore- !
gon zone defense all evening, tal
lied two quick layins with 6:21
to go and gave Washington a
49-38 lead. But Loacutoff led the
way back with a pair of foul
shots and a driving baseline lay
up.
Loscutoff Ties Game
Anderson tallied a free throw
and Page dropped in a jump shot
to tighten the gap. A fast break
allowed Guard Phil McHugh to
speed in for a layin and he drew
a foul from Washington's Jim
Coshow in the process. The foul
shot was no good but Loscutoff
tipped it in to knot the game.
Then came the Husky stall.
Early in the first half, Wash
ington scored ten points in a
row to move into a commanding
lead and they held that margin
for most of the game. Both teams
were shooting poorly, with Ore
gon slightly hotter, .292 to .244.
The Ducks scored 21 for 72 from
the field and the Huskies had
18 for 74. But from the foul line
Washington netted 18 for 24
while Oregon could only manage
10 for 27.
Loscutoff produced his 27
markers on 11 field goals and
five free tosses, while Parsons
dropped in eight baskets and 10
foul shots. Sunitsch, a 5’ 8” dyna
mo at a Washington guard spot,
had eight points, while Ross and
McHugh scored six apiece for the
Ducks.

Oregon 64, U. of W. 63
The Ducks took an early lead
Saturday but were forced to
fight for it at the end. Washing
ton staged a comeback and went
ahead near the final horn but
fell short.
With 8:08 remaining the game
was tied at 50-50, and Oregon
went into a quick 60-54 lead be
hind some nice shooting by An
derson. But the stubborn Huskies
came right back as Perkins and
! Sunitsch kept scoring. Then Page
got Oregon’s last field goal on
a jump shot.
Voegtlin drilled in two free
throws and Coshow canned a
Jumper from the foul line to give
Washington the lead. But the
6’ 5” Husky forward fouled An
derson under the basket and the
Duck center was equal to the
task in sinking two free shots for
the win, though two shots by
UW’s Mike Monroe came very
near to going in before the horn.
McHugh Sparks Rally
It was the early work of Mc
Hugh that got the aggressive
Ducks off to a fast start. He reg
istered three quick baskets as
Oregon jumped into an 11-4 lead.
They boosted the margin to 36
29 at halftime but three jump
shots from 20 feet out by Vogtlin
drove Washington into a 42-42
I tie before the final hectic min
| utes.
Scoring was well balanced on
both sides, with Loscutoff
matching his 20 rebounds with
20 points. Parsons had 14, Co
show 11 and Perkins and Voegt
lin 10 each for Washington. Mc
Hugh with 12 and Anderson with
11 followed Loscutoff for Ore
gon.
The win probably cost Oregon
the services of Ross for the Ida
ho series next weekend. The
speedy junior was bumped by
Sunitsch on a desperate attempt
for the ball late in the game.
Later examination showed an
ankle sprain.
After the Idaho series here
next weekend the Ducks will
travel to Seattle for a pair with
the Huskies before returning for
the final home-and-home pair
with Oregon State.

Beavers Continue to Romp;
UCLA, Stanford Tied in SD
Oregon State utilized the scor
ing strength of Swede Halbrook
Friday and Saturday against
Idaho as the Beavers rolled on
for two more wins in their un
defeated Northern Division sea
son. The Aggies took a 59-52 de
cision Friday and won 69-63 Sat
urday.
The victories at Moscow put
the Beavers into practically an
untouchable lead in the league’s
last season before the PCC merg
er in 1956. With Oregon and
Washington splitting a pair, OSC
now boasts a four-game lead
with only six counting games re
maining.
Friday night the Vandals gave
the league-leaders a real battle
before succumbing in the final
minutes when Halbrook returned
to his 1954 form and knocked
down three quick layins for the
victory. Halbrook tallied 21
points for the game’s high-point
honors with Idaho's Jim Sather
next with 14.
Whiteman Leads Comeback
Saturday night the Orange
and Black team gave a repeat
performance before the 4000 Ida
ho fans as reserve Tex White
man led a last half comeback.
Halbrook was in his old form as
he scored 27 points for his best
1955 effort, while Harlan Melton
was high for Idaho with 24.
Washington State was idle in
conference action over the week
end but will get back into play
tonight with a game against Gon
zaga in Spokane. Weekend action
finds the Cougars at Seattle
against Washington with Oregon
hosting Idaho. OSC is idle but
takes on Idaho next Monday and
Tuesday at Corvallis.
SOUTHERN DIVISION STANDINGS
UCI.A 5 1 .833 460 384

USC 2 4 .333 403 435
California 0 6 .000 372 445
Stanford and UCLA continued
to dominate the hotly-contested
Southern Division basketball
race Friday and Saturday as
both swept to double victories
with the schedule hitting the
halfway mark.
Both the Indians and the
BrSins had an easy time of it in
winning their fourth and fifth
victories in the SD's hot hoop
chase. Stanford posted two wins
over the defending champion USC
Trojans at Palo Alto to shove the
1954 title-holders deep into third
place while UCLA was mauling
California twice at Los Angeles
to leave the Bears winless and
in the cellar with half the con
ference season left.
Tomsic Sets Mark
Friday night Stanford romped
to an easy 92-78 win over USC
as Guard Ron Tomsic set a new
division scoring record with 40
points with Chet Carr getting 18
for the Trojans. Meanwhile UC
LA was downing California 83
64 with Johnny Moore bagging
21 and Don Bragg 22 for the win
ners. Big Bob McKeen got 26 for
the losers for the game’s honors.
Saturday night is was the
same story with Stanford win
ning 76-60 and UCLA triumph
ing 84-63. Tomsic was again the
high-scorer with 27 markers with
Dick Welsh canning 18 for USC,
Ron Bane 25 for the Bruins, and
Mike Diaz 22 for California.
Tomsic’s 67 points in two
nights lifted him into the league’s
top spot in scoring with 134
points, an average of 22.3, and
gave him a new career record
formerly held by the great Hank
Luisetti. McKeen, the former
leader, dropped into second with
his weekend’s total of 44 with a
six-game average of 21.5.
