Free-throw* dominated Ore
gon's inltliil home hoop aeries
with Idaho Friday and Saturday
nights. The two teams each grab
betl their flint PCC win, an Idaho
took Friday's game, 64-46, and
Oregon rebounded to a 00-48
triumph on Saturday night.
Idaho 64, Ducks 46
An utter lack of free-throw
accuracy rout the Ducke any
tilirn hope of a win on Friday.
Though Oregon led In field goal*,
17-15, they were strictly cross
eyed at the rharlty-llne, connert
ing on 12 of 31 trieH. The Van
dals, meanwhile, had plenty of
chance* and gave no quarter:
they hit on 34 of 46 for the win.
Friday’* outing wan nothing If
not ragged; neither team ever
really got wound up a manner
calculated to thrill the 400o sper
tatota on hand. A tight Idaho
zone kept Oregon from moving
In close during the first period,
and gofai *hot* were at a pre
ml'.im fluring the game for both
group*.
Oregon grabbed the opening
tip, and it wasn't long ere ('hur
tle KrunUlin pushed In the
night’s fir*! wore, hut hence
forth Idaho and/or missed free
throw s left them behind. A
pusher by Bud Kuykendall
with 13 minutes left brought

Sharp-eyed Bill Wilson started
the; period for Idaho by driving
for a pair of point*, and two free
throw* and a jumper later, the
Vandal* hail advancer) to a 36-18
edge, a* 16 minutes registered
on the clock. But then Bud Kuy
kendall culminated a wild scram
ble for the rebound with a Jump
shot and Wimp Hastings stieak
ed in for a layup moments later.
The crowd Hen Bed a rally, and,
, they were right for a wnile: Kuy
, kendall and others moved to
38-82 at 12:00, before Wilson hit
a one-hander to end a alx-minute
Idaho drought.
The gume see-saw ed for a
few minute* until Oregon
threatened again. This time Kd
itlnghain and Hal l>uffy put
the Ducks In jump-position at
t**»-t0. ,%t this point, Idaho's
venerable coaching staff (even
the manager had gray hair)
called for a rest before Oregon
caught up.
Seemingly refreshed, the Van- 1
dais, lea by exceptionally acu-i
rate Hill Wilson, caught fire, and ^
the Ducks were never close again j
Idaho continued their good free- i
throw work until the count was j
58-55 with three minutes re- j
maining.
Vandal guard Wilson paced
both trams, with 14 of 17 gifters
and three goals for 20 points.

Ducks 50, Idaho 48
Oregon's performances in the
first half on Saturd. y night was
little better than it was Friday
evening, but this time their sec
ond-half comeback was success
ful. Charlie Franklin and Bill
Moore were the heroes of this
contest, with Moore scoring all
of his 13 points in the second half
and Franklin executing a neat

fake to drop in the winning bas
ket.
Idaho built up a 28-22 halftime
lead, dividing the acoring exactly
in half between Hodge*’ find and
second unit*. 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.
Moore runf to life In the
H<-<on(i half, for the first time
this season—at least point also
—since the Wiehita game. He
Hot Oregon scoring off to a
second-half start with a free
throw. Then he combined with
Itnffy and .McHugh to close
the gap to 82-29 before Idaho
could find the basket again.
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.
The lend changed hands three
more times. Idaho leading twice
and Oregon once before Frank
lin's layin made it 49-48 with
1:49 showing on the clock.
The the tension set in, and it
must have been especially hard
on Coach Belko, who had run a
fever the night before and had
gotten up off his sick bed to
coach the Webfoots to their first
conference victory.
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.

Drub Lewis and Clark
The Oregon varsity wrestling
•quad racked up their second
consecutive victory last Satur
day against I^ewis and Clark,
while the Frosh absorbed their
third loss in as many starts as
they went against Hudson Bay;
High of Vancouver.
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. Griffith, and
Howard Timmons all contributed
falls to the Oregon effort, while
Jim Beaton won by a decision
and Dave Newland and Ken Ke-,
sey won by forfeits. 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.

Oregon Frosh Down
Hennen-Vos, MAC
By BOB MI LLIN'
Emerald .Sports Writer
Oregon's well-rounded fresn
rnan basketball squad displayed
an aggressive offense and a sharp
defense when needed as they de
feated Henr.on-Vos 59-54 on Fri
day night, then rolled over the
Multnomah Athletic Club Sat
urday night 89-72.
Everybody got into the act
with Jerry Anderson and Chuck
Rask sparking the Ducklings'
Friday night, and Dale Jones and
Stu Robertson leading their Sat
urday night victory.
Rally Stops Hennon
A distastrous first half almost
cost the frosh their game against
the Eugene AAU quintet. Hen
non-Vos charged back from a 3-2
deficit with center Boyd Jarman
doing most of the damage to
build up an 18-9 lead midway in
the period.
Oregon came back strong in
the second half and led by Ander
son's two field goals and four free
throws, grabbed the lead for
keeps, 35-34. with 10 minutes re
maining, but not without a few
anxious moments.
It was Rask's unerring play
that kept the Ducklings ahead in
the second half. Rask tallied 14
points in the second stanza and
added his defensive tactics to
Hennon’s woes.
Rask and Anderson led the
scorers with 19 and 18 points re
spectively. while Jarman also
’connected for 18 for the losers.
Frosh Outscore MAC '
All five Duckling starters
34-16 lead with seven minutes re
against Multnomah in their big
gest scoring splurge of the sea
son. Jones and Robertson did
most of the damage as they
scored repeatedly on feedins
from guards Lundstrom and
Rask.
The Frosh were never behind
and were tied only and 2-2.
From there Oregon hit with every
shot in the book and built up a
scored in the double figures
maining in the first half.
MAC made a slight comeback,
but Rask swished a long set shot
as the half ended to give the
Frosh a high-scoring 45-34 lead.
After intermission, the Duck
lings built their lead to 60-37,
with Jerry Anderson, Robertson
and Jones hitting continually
from in close.
Jerry's brother. Max Anderson,
high scoring center from last
year's Oregon varsity squad, led
the Multnomah squad to an 11
point splurge and eventually
closed the margin to nine points
twice during the second half.
Jones and Robertson netted 25
and 21 points respectively for
the Ducklings for high-scoring
honors. In the personal Anderson
dual. Max. who was MAC'S high
scorer, topped Jerry 20 points
to 14.
The two weekend victories
boosted the Ducklings' record to
four wins and no defeats. The
freshmen face a rematch tilt with
tough Hennon-Vos this Friday
and meet Fernandez Loggers
Saturday. Both games will be
piayed at McArthur Court.
Ces'lfariiia Bears
Lead Coast Race
By the Associated Press
Until Friday, at least. Califor
nia’s Golden Bears will continue
to lead the Pacific Coast Confer
ence basketball race, chiefly be
cause they don't play their next
conference game until then
against Stanford.
California and UCLA remain
the orly undefeated teams, but
the Bears have one more victory
j than the Bruins, who entertain
Oregon State in Los Angeles Fri
day and Saturday.
