Cal Cools Off Cal hit a hot .500 from the field in the first half, but cooled to only 212 in the second half when the Ducks applied more defensive pressure. Oregon shot .414 for the game, hitting 24 of 58 shots from the field. Duck coach Steve BclKO, wno celebrates his birthday Monday, was pleased with the second half of Saturday's game, but thought the Ducks were a "little flat" in the first half. "We hurried our shots a little in the first half, but the defense stayed in there and took care of our shooting." Helko remarked. Oregon shot .355 in the first period. ‘•Shuffle Offense” "I thought Kafoury did a fine job guarding Critchfield," Belko said. "He did a good job on him down at California, too. He’s more tenacious than some of the other boys. "California runs a ‘shuffle of A Irnjtr ami a wi ii up their hand* and go into a zone defense when they play against this type offense." Boiko said it’s a lot like the Air Force offense with a few variations." Air Force ruined Duck defenses in the Far West Classic with a similar offense Helko, who was running a tem perature of 101 degrees during the game, said he didn’t think the team "let down" any after the Stanford game "They're all im portant now." Helko replied The Ducks have now won their last nine home games They were Ixaten in the lirst game at Mc Arthur Court by Idaho, and have won all home games since 'w >r w w ^ Pinkstaff Aids Indian Fall By LYNN MUCKEN Sports Writer They grow 'em tough in Ore gon. Sophomore John Pinkstaff proved it Friday night in McAr thur Court as the 6 7 center from South Eugene manhandled Stan ford's veteran pivot man, Kay Ko sanke, and led the Ducks to an important 57-66 victory over the Indians. “I thought Pinkstaff played as good a game as he has all sea son, and against tough competi tion.” said smiling Webfoot coach Steve Belko. "I can't say too much for him.” Pinkstaff was in control for the entire game, holding the 6 9 Ko sanke to nine points and 12 re bounds, while scoring a game - high 10 points and plucking off 17 rebounds, 11 of them in the first half when they were need ed most. Quick Seven Points The Indians started out like they intended to duplicate their 81-64 victory of the previous weekend After Pinkstaff dump ed in a rebound to give the Ducks a 2-0 lead, Stanford ran off a quick seven points on the shoot ing of Bob Bedell and Art Har ris. The Webfoots came right back, however, and tied It up at 9-9 when quick Nick Jones stole the ball from the Tribe's Bob Young and completed the play with a sensational two-handed stuff. The Indians quickly respond ed by leaping out to a lead they held for the entire first half, and which, at two points, was stretch ed to eight counters. The Tribe several times threat ened to break the game open as the slick Harris poured in 15 points, but couldn’t manage the feat as Jones and Pinkstaff kept the Ducks within distance. Field ers by each of this duo and Pink staff’s brace of charity tosses brought the Oregon squad with in one, 30-29, as the halftime buzzer rang. Barnett Helps In the second panel, Oregon’s first half heroes continued their scoring, but with the welcome help of Jim Barnett. The usually-effkient Barnett UO Mafmen Blank California The Oregon wrestling team in creased its record to 9-3-1 Friday in McArthur Court with a 35-0 blanking of a visiting Cali fornia squad. The Bears, giving up one weight class by forfeit and another by default, lost two falls and five decisions to the Ducks. Oregon’s Grant Henjyoji scor ed the Ducks’ first decision, a 7-2 win over Barry Masuda in the 123-pound weight class, and put the Webfoots ahead for good. Doug Robertson picked up his 11th win of the season, pinning Cal’s Stuart Crymes at 2:59 in the 130 class. After* a forfeit at 137 to Ore gon’s Curt Scott, the Bears dropped behind by a 16-0 count when Kim Oiler lost a 10-3 deci sion to Oregon’s Steffen Criner at 145. Criner increased his sea son’s record to 8-5 with the win. Craig Caster gained the most lop-sided decision of the meet in the 152-pound division as he bested Cal’s Alan Seigel, 21-8. The loss was Seigel’s second in ten starts. Caster led 5-2 after the first round, 11-4 at the end of the second, and added ten points in the final three minutes for the victory. His scoring came on two near falls, two predicaments, three reversals and a takedown. John Malpass picked up his fifth victory for the Ducks with a 6-2 win over Don Schlotz. Al though the match was knotted at 2-2 after two rounds, Malpass gained the advantage with a re versal ten seconds into the final stanza and, with two riding time points, gained the win and push ed Oregon into a 22-0 lead. Cal’s Bernie Vancil began his 167-pound bout with Oregon’s Bob Mitchell but, after an appar ent leg injury in the first round, defaulted half way into the sec ond round. Mitchell was leading, 8-2, at the time. Kent Studebaker remained un defeated since his return to var sity action a couple of weeks ago as he decisioned Cal’s Mark Het er, 9-2. The Oregon 177-pounder improved his record to 3-0-1, pil ing up a 7-2 lead at the begin ning of the final round and hold ing on for the victory. Heavyweight Bob Lawrence closed out Oregon’s scoring, pin ning Linn Montgomery of Cali fornia with eight seconds re maining in the match. Lawrence, who had been leading 4-0 when he scored the fall, improved his won-lost mark to 7-6. picked up three quick fouls and was benched with about 12 min-' utes left in the first half He more than made up for it in the final 20 minutes, however, as he pumped in his game-total of 18 points, mostly on long jumpers from the corner and outside. His layin with 6:36 left moved the Duck sharpshooter into third place in all time Oregon scoring, as Koger Wiley and his 1,161 points fell to Barnett's steady climbing up the scoring list. The Indians never had a chance in the second half. With Jones and Barnett dropping in points with machine like regularity, the Ducks forged ahead, 35-30, and although the Tribe knotted the score at 41-all, they never led again. Three Share Scoring Jones, Barnett, and the ever - present Pinkstaff took care of all the Oregon scoring in the second panel, with the blond sophomore’s three-point play with 6:52 left, proving to be the final deterrent to any comeback hopes the Tribe cagers might have held. That scor ing burst shoved the Webfoots ahead, 55-47, and the Indians never threatened thereafter. The Ducks, with the aid of Barnett's 7-for 8 performance in the second half, shot .406 for the game despite a frigid .308 aver age in the opening panel. Stan ford hit for 24 field goals, two less than the Webfoots, while shooting 429. The two squads came out dead even in the rebound battle, 39 39, with Kosanke's dozen grabs leading the Indians. Jones' 10 counters aided the efforts of Harnett and I’inkstaff, while Harris' 24 points led all scorers. Forward Hob Bedell was the only other Indian in double figures.
