REMEMBER WHEN Upset at Berkely! The date was March 7, 1^58. The scene was the University of California campus in Berkeley. The event? A basketball game between Oregon's so-so \\ ebfoots and California’s steady, favored Bears. The 1957-58 cage season w as nearly over, and Steve Belko’s Ducks had won only five games in Pacific Coast Conference play w hile losing nine. Bears in 1st place The Bears, fighting to hold down first place, and hoping to get the NCAA Western Regionals. had an 11-3 mark, and a weekend victory over the \\ ebfoots would just about wrap things up for Pete Newell's team. But Oregon, alw ays a tough nut for Cal to crack, was de termined to upset the Bears’ hopes for national honors. Franklin paced Ducks The \\ ebfoot lineup included Charlie Franklin and Dale Herron at forwards, Hal Duffy at center, and Chuck Rask and Rttd Kuykendall at guards. California started George Sterling and Boh Dalton at for wards. Don Macintosh at center, and Karl Robinson and A1 Bitch at guards. The Bears had everything. Height, speed, a tremendous defense, and a couple of good scorers, while the Ducks, -with sophomores Rask and Herron lacking experience, could onlv point to the high-scoring Franklin as a definite threat. The Webfoots knew they wouldn’t have many chances to shoot against Cal. so they played a cautious game, waiting for good shots. Some hot shooting '1 hey must have found the openings, because, during the course of the evening, the vi.-itors pumped in an unbelievable 67 per cent of their shots and established a new all-time PCC accuracy record from the field in the process. They broke the old mark by better than four percentage points—a remarkable effort, especially in light of the fact that their total season's shooting percentage averaged out to only .382 per game. But, even in the face of this red-hot Duck team, the Bears maintained a three to five point margin throughout most of the game, and seemed to have it wrapped up until the Web foots came on strong in the closing moments to take a 62-60 lead. Only a few seconds remained when Macintosh, whose 20 footer in the la-t 10 seconds at Ivugene beat the Ducks 61-60. in an earlier game, scored to tie it up once nn/re. Ducks wrap it up The \\ ebfoots, quickly putting the ball in play, moved into front court, and pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the college basketball season as Kuykendall connected on a 25-foot set shot from out in front. The clock showed only one second left when the ball land ed in the net. A tremendous effort earned the Webfoots that victory. California went on to crush Oregon State in a PCC playoff and went to the XCAA Regionals, where they lost to a Seattle team, led by Elgin Baylor, that almost won the national title. It took desire for the Ducks to win—so much desire that they had little left the next night when closed out the season at Stanford. The Indians, not a reallv good team, belted the Ducks, 74-53. lime aps Emerald Classifieds Call Ext. 618 Frosh grapple at Clark JC today Mike Reuter’s small ( five mem bers) freshman wrestling squad will get its first dual meet ex perience of the season this after j noon against Clark Junior Col lege.

STREETER wrestled Bell In a first round match which the man from Clark won by a fall. The only other match Saturday be tween a Duckling and a Clark grappler was in the 177 pound class. Clark's Ridley decisloned Decker 2-0 In that encounter. Oregon will be hampered in this afternoon's meet by their | manpower shortage. Clark will automatically gain 15 i>oints be cause the Ducklings will be un able to enter men in the 130, 147, i and 191 pound divisions. Fortu nately, CJC has no 137 men. as ! is the case with the Ducklings, so neither team will have to forfeit in that weight. COACH REITER plans two exhibition matches using JV grapplers this afternoon. Sopho more Ken Thayer will wrestle at 130 and junior Lynn Mathews at ' 147. Saturday, January 16, the Ducklings will wrestle a prelimi nary match against the OSC i Rooks in Corvallis. The match' will precede the Duck-Beaver en counter.
