Even though the game was closely contested throughout, it w as an extremely dull game with many, many fouls being whistled. Twenty-four personal fouls were charged to the Ducks, and many of these were of the charging variety, a type of foul which has come to be one of the hottest disputed rules in basketball. After the game Oregon coach Steve Belko, hesitantly, said, "The most abused thing in our referee ing this year is the offensive foul.” Belko went on to clarify his statement with. ‘'There are two different rules in the book, one is for when you have the ball and the other when you don’t, but 1 guess that means nothing in our conference.” Belko was particularly incensed with two calls by the officials that gave the Huskies possession when charging was called against Jim Barnett and one time against John Pinkstaff. Late in the game Barnett was called for charging into a Husky (He was ‘caught" when he had a step on his defender.) Pinkstaff was charged by a Husky late in the game under the Washington basket. After having his hands in the air and his position the officials "got" him for charging the offensive man. It was Pinkstaff’s fifth per sonal. The first half was a seesaw af fair for the first 10 minutes until the Ducks hit a cold spell after tying the score at 14-14 with 10:57 gone. At this point the Ducks found 1 themselves seven points back be fore they scored again on a free throw with 6:54 showing in the first period of play. Jones Scores Two However, the Ducks quickly got a basket from Nick Jones on a drive, and a singleton on Bar nett's conversion of a technical called on the Huskies’ Gord.v , Harris. They then trailed by EMERALD SPORTS three, 21-18. After Harris got a fallaway j jumper from seven feet, Jones hit for the Ducks on a one hander from 10 feet on the left baseline. Carr got one for a five point lead at 25-20 with 4:05 showing and then the Ducks hit ofr three on a jumper by Bob Craven and a free shot by Bar nett, making it 25-23 for Washing ton. After the Huskies scored two more on a jumper by Levi Kis cher, the Ducks went ahead with 1:28 remaining on a 15 footer by Craven, two free throws by Bar nett and another pair by Pink staff. With a second showing on the clock Carr tied the score at 28 28 with one of two gift tosses from the line. Second Half Like First The second half was much like the first. Neither team was able to pull away with the Huskies biggest margin being six and the Ducks' two. The Huskies moved ahead once by five with 7:01 remaining, but the Ducks came scrapping back with fielders by Barnett and Craven and a free throw from Barnett, to knot the game at 51-51 with 5:55 to go. The Huskies rallied again and with 2:12 to go had another five point lead at 60-55. Again the Ducks ran back with a Barnett charity toss and a Jones fielder before the Huskies got their last point, the fatal one, with :42 sec onds remaining on a free-throw by Steve Olsen. The Ducks got a Gymnasts Take 2nd Place OREGON gymnastic team’s second-place finish in the Pacific Northwest gymnastic championships Saturday in McArthur Court was bolstered by third-place spots in both the side horse (left) and floor exercise. The Duck side horse team amassed 18 75 points and the floor exercise squad 22.90. Jim Chaskin Photos By DICK JONES Sports Writer The University of Washington gymnastic team added to their trophy case as it won its seventh Northwest Gymnastic Champion ship in eight years Saturday night in McArthur Court. The Huskies took first place in six of the eight events as they > amassed 180 points for first place. The remaining top place was nabbed by Oregon’s Ducks as they won second-place honors over Washington State, 155-153. The Washington frosh were fourth with 148 points, and East ern Washington had 141 points for fifth place. The Oregon frosh finished last in the nine-team meet with 73 points. Mike Flansaas. whose wife was top gymnast for the 1964 Olym pic team, barely edged two of his teammates for the all-around title. Flansaas finished first in the parallel bars, and second in the side horse for 52 points. Lovell Wins Two His teammate. Mike Lovell, won both the horizontal bar and floor exercise competitions, but was one point behind Flansaas for second place. A third teammate, Eigil Flaathen, had 49 points for third place. Oregon won the trampoline and long horse events. Team captain John Turchi placed first and Tom Ileinbegner third to pace the Ducks on the trampoline. Art English added his points to give the Ducks first place in the event. John Palmer, coach Dick Smith’s only three-year letter man, combined his efforts with those of Don Cooper and Jim Huston to give the Ducks first place on the long horse. Besides the two first places, the Duck team took third place in the side horse, floor exercise, and horizontal bar. A fourth place finish on the parallel bars, and an eighth place on the still rings completed the Duck scoring. Third Place Finishes Leading the Ducks in their third place finishes were Turchi, floor exercise; Mike Olsen, side horse; and Allen Amsbury on the horizontal bar. Jim Civey was high point man for the Ducks on the parallel bars, and Cooper topped the Duck competitors on the still rings. This was the highest finish for the Ducks in their third year of competition, and their first de feat of Washington State. 25-footer by nmoury «< * left but couldn't get the ball back again. The statistics were very odd in many respects Keen though the Huskies got 23 Holders to the Ducks' 25. they had the extra chances at the line Hut they hit only 15 of 32 at the charity stripe. In addition, the Huskies had 17 ball control errors, which in most cases would be enough for the other team to win the game. Ducks Shoot .391 The Ducks, who were out re bounded by a margin of 50 41. had 25 of 64 from the field for ,391 average. The Huskies hit at a 434 clip The Ducks got 10 of 15 free throws but didn't have the opportunities to win at the line like the Huskies did The Ducks were guilty of only eight turnovers. Barnett. PinkstafT Foul Out Even though troth Barnett and PinkstafT fouled out, their pres ence was not missed noticeably because of the lateness of the game when they left Harnett went out with 147 to go on an offensive foul. He had 18 for the game which was high for both sides. PinkstafT fouled out with eight points, and the clock show ing 04 to go Hounding out the Duck scor ing was Hob Craven with 14, 10 of those coming in the second half when he pul on a fine show of shooting ability, and 10 by Nick Jones. Bill Thomas, whose best play is on the boards (he had seven caroms), had eight points along with PinkstafT and Kafoury had two to round out the Oregon attack For the Huskies, Dave Carr had 16 for high honors, followed by Gordy Harris with 15, and Steve Olsen with 12. Olsen's play JIM BAKNKTT Score* 18 in l.oss in the- second hall was a vital pari to the Washington win as he hit consistently from the out side to ruin the Duck zoning tac tics Both Dave Hovde and Doug Westlake had seven, with l.evi Fischer netting three and Boh Johnson one to make tit points for the winners The loss all but eliminated the Ducks from any title hopes as their league record is now, 0 5 They are 13-10 on the year Ruggers, Kickers Halt' Opponents The Oregon rugby and soccer clubs each recorded a victory Saturday, but that was about all they had in common. The soccer team didn’t even play a game to score its win. The opposition was to be the University of Portland, but they never showed up. Coach Jan BroekhofT, disgusted with the Pilots, said that their excuse for not traveling to Eugene was that “they couldn't find their uni forms." When BroekhofT offered to lend them some of Oregon’s equip ment, the Portland club replied that they couldn't find their coach, either. “I’m afraid they were a little bit scared,” Brock hofT concluded. The forfeit gives Oregon an 8-0 season slate. The University of Victoria rugby team did show up, how ever, and they jumped ofT to a quick 3-0 lead on a penalty kick by Dave Clark. The rest of the .contest was all Oregon, though, | as the* Ducks won, 12 3. After knotting the score at 3 3 on a |>enalty kick by Ian Steven son, the Ducks broke loose in the second half to wrap up the victory Stevenson booted a 25 yard field goal, and wing Warren ilainill anti forward Hon Larsen each scored tries.
