SEATTLE (Special)—The Ore
gon Ducks dropped a 61-60 game
to the Washington Huskies here
Saturday night in anything but
a thriller.
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

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

floor exercise. The Duck side horse team amassed 18 75 points and the floor exercise squad 22.90.

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.

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

Both Dave Hovde and Doug
Westlake had seven, with l.evi
Fischer netting three and Boh

for the winners
The loss all but eliminated
the Ducks from any title hopes
as their league record is now,

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. Mainill co\ ered
25 yards, while Lai?'*n ran 15
yards for the scores
Oregon coach Hruce Howe
thought his best performers wen
forwards Larsen and Hruce Morn
son and back Don Simonson Ian
Stevenson also played well for
his first game." the coach added
The second rugby team de
feated Salem, 190 Hack John
Taylor scored two tries and "all
the seconds really looked good,"
according to Howe.
The rugby squad nest week w ill
face a very determined Oregon
State team which the Ducks de
feated last Saturday The soccer
team will battle Lewis and Clark
