“LEAPING LARRY” HOLLIDAY Sophomore grabs ten rebounds in losing effort Huskies edge Oregon cagers By JOHN ANDERSON Of the Emerald SEATTLE (Special) — The Oregon Ducks, unable to main tain a consistent offense or steady defense with play maker and leading scorer Billy (laskins riding the bench with the flu, fell victim to conference basket ball leader Washington 60 54 here Monday night. The Webfoots, plagued by turnovers and missed free throws all game, fell behind 19-17 with 7:40 remaining in the first hall and never again were able to close the gap. It was Oregon’s fourth straight conference loss and evened their season mark at 7-7. Washington, 9-4, is still undefeated in Pacific 8 play with a 4-0 mark. Ouiek lead The Ducks jumped off to a quick lead, and maintained a slight advantage until Rafael Stone’s 20-foot jumper with 8:30 gone put the Huskies on top 12 11. The score see sawed hack and forth until Dave Willenborg hit a ten-foot jumper with 7:40 to go jn the half. Pat Woolcock's shot from the base line three minutes later gave Washington a four point advantage and they in creased it to seven at the half, 32-25. Outside shooting by Rick Abrahamson kept Oregon within eight points of Washington for most of the second half, but in consistent shooting and rebound ing by the rest of the Ducks left IM schedule BASKETBALL 8:35—Court 40- Chi Phi A vs. Delta Chi A Court 43—Station A vs. Heads A 4:20—Court 40 Philadelphia A vs. Six Packs A Court 43—Saints A vs. Margin al Products A 5:00—Court 40 College Inn A vs. BSU Panthers A Court 43 -Cupertino Comets A vs. Fall Honor A HANDBALL 8:35—Delta Tan Delta vs. Sherry Itoss 4:10—Delta Chi vs. ('arson Grads the Huskies in the lead. The Ducks closed within five at 2:48 on a 20-foot swisher by Abrahamson, but then Oregon had to take to fouling to get the ball back against a Huskie stall, and time ran out on the Web foots. Holliday scores ten “Leaping Larry” Holliday paced Oregon in the first half with nine rebounds and nine points—-he finished with 12 and 10 respectively — while an effective Duck zone held the Huskies at bay. But turnovers cost the Webfoots several points and the zone began to fall apart. Oregon switched to man-to man, but Washington effectively worked against it to build a sub stantial lead. The Ducks had several oppor tunities to score late in the game, but once again turnovers —Oregon committed 17 to Wash ington’s eight—and muffed foul opportunities were the differ ence. The Webfoots hit only 10 of 23 free throw chances as com pared to a school record 15 of 16 Saturday at Washington State. “We can’t get over the hump,” lamented Oregon Coast Steve Belko. “We kept missing free throws in the clutch, one after another. And every time we missed they’d get the rebound. "This is the most frustrating darn thing I've ever been through,” the Webfoot mentor continued. “Why do we have to get the flu in the middle of the year like this? There is not much to say—I’m very, very upset about it. We need some time in our favor. Gaskins, Henry (Jim) and Abrahamson are all sick.” Oregon outshot Oregon outrebounded Wash ington 44-36, but were outshot from the field with a .489 to .458. Stan Love led Oregon scorers with 17, and was followed by Abrahamson with 12 and Holli day with ten. All five Washington starters scored in double figures, led by Woolcock with 13.

Dirksen and Preston, who qualified for the NCAA meet in the 1650 freestyle, highlighted the two-day meet, which saw 11 swimmers qualify for the na tionals. A high school All-American from Roseburg, Dirksen swam the 200 yards in 2:16.3 to be come the first breaststroker in the nation to break the 2:16.7 qualifying time. Dirksen number one Because of his effort, Dirksen is now rated as the number one 200 yard breaststroker in the country. Drake, who is rated fourth in the nation in the 1000-yard freestyle, qualified for the 1650 freestyle in the Sunday evening finals with a time of 17:34.8. The Oregon swim team, which faced three days of competition this weekend, swept the Men's Association Swimming Cham pionships scoring 217 points, 152 points ahead of second place David Douglas High School, which had 65 points. Oregon State was third with 58 points. Although Drake qualified for the NCAA’s, he finished sec ond in the 1650 to Chuck Kreg of the Willamalane Swim Club, who won the event with a time of 17:25.0. Team Co-captain George Gir vin won the 100-yard butterfly event with a time of 54.3, edg ing out David Douglas' Rick Foreman by .2 seconds. Dirksen also won the 100 Washington Pups upset Ducklings SEATTLE (Special)—Wash ington’s Fi'osh, minus their two top players, overcame a five point Oregon lead in the wan ing moments to score a stun ning 73-68 upset of the Duck lings in a Monday night basket ball game in Seattle. The Pups nibbled away at the Oregon lead until moving in front for good at 64-63. From there the Ducks were forced to play catch-up ball. Oregon had several chances to regain the lead but turnovers and “stu pid basketball" as Coach Frank Arnold summed it up spelled the Oregon downfall. When Steve Hawes and Paul Tillman fouled out with 7:30 remaining and the Ducklings ahead 58-53, it appeared the Frosh had it cinched. But Ore gon miseues, combined with the offensive lapses, stopped the Ducks completely. Hawes, who canned 20 of his 29 points in the first half, gain ed high point honors for the Pups. Three men claimed dou ble figures for Oregon, with Rusty Blair’s 17 leading the pack. Steve Smith and Bill Drake followed with 12 and 11 respectively.

Before the 400-yard indivi dual medley, Duck Coach Don Van Rossen hoped that Pat O'Malley could qualify in the event for the NCAA meet, how ever, he expressed doubts that O’Malley would have the com petition or the strength after the long gruelling weekend, to qualify. As it turned out, O’Malley did have the competition, how ever, it appeared that he didn't have the strength to qualify, which he failed to do, as Da vid Douglas' DeRoost set a new meet record of 4:24.9 and qual ified for the NCAA's.
