Mark Falls-Oregon Wins. 107-68 By JACK HALL Emrrald Sports Wrttrr What promised to be a good, tight basketball game between the Oregon Ducks and the Idaho State Bengals turned into a bun dle of surprises as the Ducks dc fanged the Bengals 107-68 Wed nesday night. The 107 points was a record breaking performance by Steve Belko's Ducks, b it they got lots of help from the Idaho State Ben gals and its coaching staff. ISC coach Claude Retherford— a spiffv dresser if ever there was one—got into it with referee Burt Burr over a goal-tending call and the result was that Burr called a technical. As Oregon captain Nick Jones stood waiting to shoot the free throw, Retherford had a few more comments to make and Jones got another free shot. Gives "Salaams" Not satisfied. Retherford gave Burr several big "Salaams” and earned a one-way ticket from the court. Jones sank both free throws, the Ducks had a 64-50 lead and the next two minutes of play did the Bengals in. Jones canned another free throw, John Pinkstaff hit on a lay-in and Bill Thomas dropped in three quick baskets to run the count to 75-54 for the Ducks 1Treasure Looted: Wrestlers Whale Oregon’s freshman wrestling team demonstrated why they are so highly touted Wednesday when they defeated Treasure Valley Community College 41-6 in McAr thur Court.

It was the second time the two had met and each felt that things had changed since the first time. “I feel like I’ve improved more than he has,” Gorton said after ward. Bryan had the same feeling and thought Gorton might have won. “He was a little too con servative,” he said. “If he’d have been shootin’ more it might have been different.” “He’s gotten a little smarter and a lot stronger,” Johnson not ed, but he was more concerned with his condition and that of the team.
