Webfoofs Earn Spilt in Bay Area By PAIJI, POLNKY Astoflalr Sports Kditor Tho Oregon Ducks winged home Sunday after Nplitting a pair of engagements in the Bay area With a 65-63 win over Cal, after dropping a 81 64 decision the night before to the Stanford Indians, the Ducks return with a 3-3 league mark. After having second half diffi cultics at the Stanford Pavillion Friday night, the Ducks traveled to the Berkeley campus and sub dued the Bears. The line shooting of John I'inkstalT, especially from the foul line, and the drives of Jim Barnett proved too much for the Bears. The Ducks put on a gritty per formance in the face of a chal lenging Bear attack at the end of the game as Cal tried to come from five points hack with only two minutes remaining, but couldn’t do it. The game on the whole was a very roughly played match as fouls were frequently called with the two teams looking sloppy at times. In the end it was the su perior foul shooting of the Ducks that pulled the game out. In fact, they had the one and one situ ation whistled in their favor a full three minutes before the Hears got the opportunity, The j Ducks cashed in their opportuni ties and hit 13 of 15 in the sec ond half to only seven of nine . for the Golden Hears. The first half ended in a 33 33 , tie Just as it did the night before ' in Palo Alto. Each team had leads I but neither one was able to take : a distinct advantage. In the second half the fouls started mounting up and the Hears began to pull behind a little bit at a time. The Ducks got hit hardest and also first via the foul route as Jim Harnett fouled out mid way in the period. It was at this point the night before that the Ducks succumbed to the Indians pressure and lost. Bar nett had IB points, identical to his previous night's efforts at the same stage of the game. From the time the Duck star fouled out the rest of the team seemed to take up the scoring slack and seemed much more de termined than the night before when they seemed to fall apart. Tiredness Hurts Swimming Times By GORDON ROSENBERG Sports Writer "We were tired and down psy chologically," explained Oregon swimming coach Don Van Rossen. This statement pretty much ex plains Oregon's activity in Fri day’s two meets. The Ducks fell to tough Arden Hills swimming club of Sacra mento, 52^12, and were tied by surprising San Jose State, 47-47, in action at Leighton I’ool. Against Arden Hills, a group of high school whir kids from all over northern California, the Ducks got off to a disastrous start John Kerris, a super swimmer who deserves every accolade he receives, keyed the Arden Hills burst. He opened a big lead in the third leg of the 400 yard med ley relay as Arden Hills won the event by eight seconds in 3:50. Greg Anderson and Mark Shelly kept things rolling with a double in the 200 yard freestyle, and Tom Fairbanks won the SO-yard free style. Ferris Wins Three Ferris, Arden Hills' answer to Ratinan, followed up this victory by winning the 200-yard indi vidual medley in 2:07. Ray Ri vero, another super star, finished second to give the visitors a 28-0 advantage.

Ferris came back to sweep the butterfly with case and Rivero won the backstroke easily. After this event, the youthful invaders from Sacramento held a com manding 47-21 lead. As it turned out, they needed almost every one of these points to win. Ironman Monty Holding started a Duck revival by winning the 500-yard freestyle in a fast 5.09 8 ‘ Holding turned in a good performance," stated Van Ros sen. (Continued on page 7) Duck Rugby Team Scores 11-8 Win A second half rally by West ern Washington fell three points short Saturday as the Oregon rugby squad narrowly escaped with an 11-8 victory. The win gives Oregon a 3-0 record in the Northwest Rugby Conference, strengthening the Ducks' grip on first place. The loss was the Vikings’ second with out a victory. The team had a balanced scor ing attack with Barnett's 18, PinkstafT with 12 and most of those coming in the closing min utes when the Ducks needed them most. Bill Jennings had 11, Nick Jones and Dave Kafoury both had seven while center re serve John Franz had six and Bill Thomas had four. The Bears, depending heavily on their amazing sophomore guard Iluss Critchfield who scor ed 21 points, got into serious foul trouble. Each of their five starters had four fouls and then late in the game two of them fouled out. Bruce Steckel fouled out with 14 points and soon after team mate Charlie Perkins followed him to the bench with nine count ers. Rounding out the scoring were Bob Wolfe with 12 and Steve Smith with seven. The loss dropped Cal into the PAG basement, all alone with a 1-5 record. The previous night at the Stan ford Pavillion the Ducks got into foul trouble and lost the game as the Indians took advantage of a loosened defense and a cold shooting spell to dump the Ducks. The score at the half was 33-33 and the Ducks had surprised a lot of people as they showed them they could play good basket ball. After trailing by seven at the onset the Ducks slowly but methodically cut into the margin and finally tied the score with 2:55 remaining on a 20-footer by Dave Kafoury. The Ducks got the ball back with 2:02 remaining and held it until :02 remaining but a shot by Jennings was off the mark and the score remained even. In the second half everything went wrong for the Ducks. The Indians got seven quick points on free-throws by Harris and Kosanke, on Pinkstaff’s fourth and fifth fouls within a 25 second time period, and two lay-ins by Bedell. From this point on the Ducks were never able to re cover. Barnett finally got the Ducks on the hoard but it was too late and too little. He fouled out with 7:05 remaining and that was the game. Kosanke and Bedell were dead eyes for the Indians as they had 23 and 24 points respectively. They also kept the pressure on the Ducks with fine hoard play and continually dominated the defensive boards. The Indian defense was superb throughout most of the game. Coach Howie Dalmar employed a four man zone and a one man-to man style defense in the second half with Harris on Barnett. This worked effectively as the Ducks couldn’t hit from the outside and kept them away from the boards too. The final rebound statistics showed the Indians much in com mand with a 56-44 advantage. They also shot 43 per cent from the field compared to the Ducks meager 35 per cent. The Duck scoring was led by Barnett with 18 and Nick Jones with 16.
