    Frosh Hoopers
Record Victory,
Lose Saturday
Oregon’s Ducklings put on a
allow of real basketball power hh
they swamped Moore's Drlve-in
at Vancouver's Khumway Junior
high gym, Wl-69, Friday night.
But the Frosh had to be content
with a apllt on their Washington
Invasion, for the experienced
Fernandez loggers came from
behind to clout the Ducklings,
fcl-72, at Longview Saturday.
Frosh 96, Moore's 69
Dave Wanaka hit the hoop for
II field goals to pace the Frosh,
and three other Ducklings hit in
double figures.
The AAU five, moved In as a
replacement for the previously
scheduled Clark JC Penguins,
kept Is close throughout the first
half, mostly on the efforts of
Guard Karl Enos. Hut Wanaka
was unstoppable on jump shots
and layins, and the intermission
scoie favored the Frosh, 47-39. !

Oregon's comeback Ducks kept
their precious second-place posi
tion In the Northern Division
last weekend after splitting a
series with Washington at Seat
tle. losing the first game. 80-00,
and winning the second, 60-59.
The split left the Wcbfoot
hrropers with a two-game bulge
over the Huskies in the battle
for second place in the fast-clos
ing conference chase. Oregon
State, meanwhile, was dropping
its firi* conference game in 14
starts Saturday night to WSC
at Pullman with a last-second
basket by the Cougars' Ron
Rennink pulling out the 68-66
win. OSC won Friday, 73-61.
The weekend’s action set the
stage for the final week of
Northern Division competition
before the coast playoffs between
UCLA and OSC at Corvallis.
WSC and Idaho square off Tues
day in the reason's last game
between those old rivals while
Oregon plays Oregon State and
Washington meets Idaho Friday
and Saturday to wind up 1955
conference action.
Oregon's split with Washing
ton gave the clubs two wins
apiece in their season's series
with Oregon not having lost a
series yet this year. Jim Loscut
off paced the Ducks with 37
potnts for the two-night stand
with Howard Page and Jerry
Ross each having a good week
end with 26 points each.
Huskies 80, Ducks 60
Washington put on a terrific
second-half rally while Oregon's
shooting eye grew dim in the
final period to enable the Hus
kies to pull away for the 20-point
victory.
Both teams played on fairly
even terms through the first half
with the Dik-ks taking an early
lead but losing it again midway
through the period. The score
was tied 15-15 when Dean Par
sons put the winners ahead with
s. short jump shot. Oregon
couldn't catch up and Washing
ton lead 36-33 at the half.
Parsons scored 17 points In
that first half but other Hus
kier. took up the scoring load
in the disastrous last half as
Oregon dropped behind steadily.
Oregon went ahead on two free
throws by Max Anderson with
16:80 remaining hut then the
roof raved In.
Doyle Perkins, Karl Voegtlin
and Parsons combined to score
I 19 points in five minutes to run
up an unbeatable lead. Oregon
put on a short rally but they
didn’t have the horses and Wash
ington won going away.
For the game Oregon shot a
mediocre 27 per rent from the
field while Washington made
S« per cent of Its shots. A big
factor in the win was in re
bounding where the Ducks had
one of their poorest nights of
the year, getting only 37
swipes to 56 for the Huskies.
"Individually, Loscutoff broke
the Northern Division rebound
record for a season, surpassing
the mark with hia 18 swipes. Par
sons got 20 rebounds and led
Husky scoring with 25 points.
Four other Washington players
also hit double figures.

the Saturday game between Ore
gon and their Seattle rivals as
the Ducks took the lead midway
in the first half and held on right
down to the final horn.
Washington started off fast
with an early 7-2 margin hut
then the Ducks found their
shooting eyes and Loscutoff
