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.
