68-46 win Ducks nip Idaho By PAUL HANSON Emerald Sports Writer After a slow start Saturday night, the Oregon Webfoots cracked a tight Idaho zone de fense and easily registered a 68 46 victory over the Vandals at McArthur Court. THE DUCKS were immediately caught off-guard as Dave Strack's well-coached quintet sur prisingly opened the game with a puzzling “wildcat" zone de fense. The hustling Vandals out scrapped and out-rebounded the Ducks in the early action, and with seven minutes gone in the contest were enjoying an 11-6 lead. It was here that Coach Steve Belko called a time-out for Ore gon. and evidently gave the Ducks the right advice, because in the next five minutes, fielders by Rask, Warren and Moore, and free throws by Herron and Strickland tied up the game at 18-all with six minutes left in the half. Captain Chuck Rask then hit a driving jump shot from the key to give the Ducks a two point lead, but Idaho's Rollie Williams hit two gifters to tieup the game for the third time. THEN, with 2:35 left in the half and the Webfoots holding a scant 25-24 lead. Butch Kimpton came off the bench to replace Rask. and gave the Ducks some needed fire. Kimpton immediately tipped in a beauty, and fired in two 25-foot junipers from the cor ner to give Oregon a 31-24 half time advantage. Strack realized the zone de fense was tiring his boys, and switched to a man-to man de fense to open the second half. This didn't have much effect, however, because Moore. War ren and Herron were able to manuever for several easy buc kets, and the Oregon lead was soon expanded to 45-27 with only seven minutes gone in the sec ond half. KEN MAREN then hit from the key to break the Idaho bas ket-drought. but Herron. Moore and Rask retaliated for the Ducks to run the score to 50-29. and it was here Belko inserted his sec ond team.

Belko, fearing a complete lapse by the reserves, hastily substitut i ed Moore, Rask & Co. back into ! the game, and three minutes lat | er the Oregon lead was again up to a comfortable 17 points. Belko and Strack let the reserves finish up the game, and reserve Bill Simmons and center Wally Knecht looked particularly im | pressive for the Webfoots. THE WIN was an important ; one for the Ducks as it kept j alive their chances for a berth in the NCAA Western R eg i o n a 1 Playoffs. With a 16-8 won-lost record for the season, the Web foots go into the final two game ! series with Oregon State next weekend at Coi-vallis Friday night 1 and McArthur Court Saturday j night with the second-best record on the coast. Oregon shot .458 from the field for one of the best game perform ances in many weeks. Oregon's tight defense, which is tenth in the nation, held the Vandals to a miserable .278 shooting percent age. The loss brought Idaho's season record to 10-14, and was the second loss in a row to Ore gon. a reversal of last year, when the Vandals won both meetings.

It was the first U.S. hockey gold medal in Olympic history. Figure skaters Dave Jenkins and Carol Heiss won earlier gold medals. THE WIN was a fitting climax I to an 11-day session marked by ' disputes, parking problems, a ■ snowstrom .and various protests. A feeling of international unity \ had somehow grown at Squaw Valley, a feeling that nations j could forget their ideological 1 conflicts and gather in peace for athletic competition. It was a i feeling that perhaps the prob j lems of the world aren't so big j after all. As expected, Russia walked off with the unofficial team cham pionship at Squaw Valley. THE SOVIETS piled up 16S's points, more than double the total marked up by runner-up Sweden, j Sweden had 71points to 71 for the U.S., a surprising third. Ger many was fourth.
