Idaho 64, Ducks 46 An utter lack of free-throw accuracy rout the Ducke any tilirn hope of a win on Friday.

Kranklin and Mc Hugh kept the Webfoots in the game in the find half, Charlie hitting six out of nine from the foul line and McHugh the only Duck to make more than one field goal in that half adding five points.

Finally, Brent Thomson ended the Vandal drought v/ith a jump shot, but Moore countered with a nice hook Idaho maintained their four-point lead until nine and a half minutes remained, when Wimp Hastings bucketed two free tosses to bring the score to 10-38 Idaho's Jim Branom broke through for a layln to make it four points again, but free throws by Franklin am Moore cut it down to one and a jump shot by the agile Franklin put the Web foots ahead for the first time.

Hastings. McHugh and Frank lin were doing most of the hall handling during that cru cial, ininute-and-a-half stall, but It was Duffy’s rebounding that saved the day. Three times during the final 10 seconds the big center cleared the hoards to keep the hall in Oregon's possession, once to start the stall after Idaho's Jerry Jorg enson had shot and twice after missed Oregon free throws. Duffy played the last 12 min utes with four fouls riding on his shoulders, but he still managed to play a whale of a defensive game. He grabbed off 16 re bounds. Oregon outshot the Palouse kids, .286 to .241, and also had the boards on the taller Vandals, clearing 45 to Idaho's 33. The Webfoots had only 12 field goals to 13 for Idaho, but Oregon's vastly improved foul shooting spelled the difference. Franklin played most of the grime with a bandaged forehead, having been injured in an open* lng-minute collision.

The experienced Webfoot var sity men took the usually strong I^ewis and Clark squad by a 28-6 count, losing only two matches, both of those by decisions. The Frosh squad, still hurting for men, went down l»efore the Strong Hud son Bay squad, 2.VI6. Lee Allen, J. D.

The only los ers were Bob Stevens in the 123 class, who dropped a close 3-2 match to two year state champ Keith Schrock and sophomore Bob McCullough, who lost to coast champ Mike Clock in the unlimited division, also by a de cision. According to coach Bill Ham mer. all the men did exceptionally well, and he could not single out any one man who did an out standing job. since they all per formed so well. Hammer felt however, that the big job of preparing for the de fense of their coast conference dual meet crown was a big factor in determining how the squad will faie in the forthcoming PCC mat action. With three consecutive eon ferine-*- matches against Wash ington State, Oregon State, and the University of Washington on the agenda. Hammer said that he thought they would do a good job if the squad con tinued to work as hard as they have so far this season.
