“LEAPING LARRY” HOLLIDAY
Sophomore grabs ten rebounds in losing effort
Huskies edge
Oregon cagers

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

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, Drake qualify
for NCAA swim meet
By CRAIG EVANS
Of The Emerald
Oregon freshman Mike Dirk
sen became the first swimmer
in the country to qualify for
the 200-yard breaststroke as the
Duck swim team walked away
with Oregon Association AAU
swimming title this weekend.
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.

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.
O’Malley was a close second
