79-54 and 70-49 Indians Rout Ducks Twice “We really missed the big guy.” said basketball coach Steve Belko Sunday after returning to Eugene from a disastrous week end trip to Palo Alto, Calif. He was referring to Oregon center Wally Knecht. injured late last Wednesday afternoon and unable to play Friday and Satur day against the Stanford Indians. HE WASN’T kidding either. With his 6-foot-6 pivotmnn at home listening to the game on the radio. Belko’s Ducks took it on the chin twice 79-54 Friday night and 70-49 Saturday. And it was Stanford’s talented sophomore center. 6-foot-8 Tom Dose--the man Knecht would have been assigned to stop- who led the Stanford scoring and re bounding assault both nights. Dose scored 52 points in the two games, and the Ducks grabbed 15 less rebounds than their taller foes. STANFORD’S front line had two players who stand 6-foot-8 and another 6-foot-4.

The latter victory was par-1 ticularly* pleasing to coach Mike Reuter since this represents Ore- ( gun's first win in history over the MAC team. Captain Joe McFarland led the weekend assault with a double win at 137 lbs., gaining a fall at Pacific and a decisive 13-0 win over Tony Russo of MAC. Russo w on a close decision over McFar land last year. Six sophomores from last year’s Frosh team—Dennis Rad ford (123 and 130), Doug Muck and Charlie Warren (147), Bruce Glenn (157), A1 Lamp (167), and Bob Kenney (177)—started their varsity careers with outstanding performances. Bob Keeney met the strongest individual opponent, three-time coast champion Autrey Ehler. In the last 30 seconds of the match, Keeney threw Ehler on his back from the standing position, but did not get credit for the result ing predicament situation since there was a disputed decision. Ehler barely won the decision, 5-4. Steve Barnett. Duck All-Amer ican Tackle and heavyweight is expected to join the squad today and strengthen the heavyweight division.

But lack of height wasn't all that troubled the Webfoots. They were the victims of theii own mistakes, losing the ball 35 times in the two games, due to faulty ball handling. “We made lots of mistakes the first night," said Belko. “We didn’t play a very good ball game. But Saturday, I was proud of the way they played the first half. They just ran away from us in the last 10 minutes of the game that night." he said. OREGON meets Idaho at Moscow this weekend. Will the Ducks have a chance? It depends. Belko expects to receive a report of Knecht’s progress toward recovery of a sprained ankle this afternoon. And besides Idaho is no Stan ford. talent-wise. Coach Belko rates Stanford along' with Oregon State and USC, both ranked in the top ten teams nationally. The Indians have yet to play USC this sea son, but their only losses came at the hands of OSU, both on the Beavers' home court. One of the losses was by a single point. The Webfoots met Idaho in the semi-finals of the Far West Classic at Portland—and wen. But that was with Wally Knecht. Charlie Warren was the only Webfoot who was able to score consistently against Stanford. He potted 18 points in the 79-54 loss and 20 more Saturday night.
