Huskies surge in stretch for 77-70 Pac-8 win By JOHN HENDERSON Of the Emerald SEATTLE — The Washington Huskies may have convinced people that they're the sixth best team in the country, but in the aftermath of their 77-70 Pac-8 win over Oregon Thursday night, Oregon Coach Dick Harter said they re due to be knocked down a peg "Washington s a fine team, but they're ripe to be taken," said Harter. “I’ll be sur prised if Oregon State doesn't put them away easily.'' emerald $ sports 1__j Lary out for season Randy Lary, the Oregon gymnast hurt in Wednesday night s meet against Louisiana State, is out for the season. Lary suffered a multiple fracture of the knee when he landed off-balance after his second vaulting attempt. ‘ We hate to lose him," said Oregon Coach Bill Ballester, "That's no way to end a college career. But he s going to be a coach someday—and he's going to be a darned good one." Lary, a senior, was the Ducks' No. 2 man in the vaulting and high bar events. Ducks nip LCC, 39-38 The Oregon women s JV basketball team squeezed by host Lane Community Col lege 39-38 Thursday night to even its re cord at 1-1. Joanne Bellom led the Ducks with 10 points. With their first win over the Ducks in five meetings, the Huskies stand as tall as the space needle with a 3-0 Pac-8 record and 14-0 overall. "The intensity was there but we didn’t react when we needed the big basket,” he said. “We had a couple of interceptions slip from our hands and we gave up some easy baskets on the half-court trap.” The Ducks were hurt the most in the mid dle, where seven-foot James Edwards and 6-10 Lars Hansen had a field day. Washing ton had few problems working the ball to the two big men as Edwards was 7 to 12 from the field for 20 points — 13 in the second half — and Hansen was 6 for 7 for 15. Harter tried freshmen Dan Hartshorne, Danny Mack and Gary Nelson on the Washington duo, but could never come up with the right formula. "We didn't get any inside help," said Har ter. "We had some tough calls when I thought we had position. But both Hansen and Edwards are fine ball players.” Washington took advantage of its height late in the first half after two Ron Lee free throws tied the score 30-all with four mi nutes left. Hansen hit a hook shot, Clarence Ramsey made a three-point play and 6-7 Kim Stewart hit a short jumper to put the Huskies ahead 37-30 with a minute left. "We felt our guys were more experienced and could get the ball inside," said Washington Coach Marv Harshman. They were fronting us so we could always go over the top. It's tough to get help from the back because the check is always late." Lee, who finished with a game-high 25 points, was pulled when he committed his third foul shortly after he sank the two tying free throws. Ron s third foul was the key play in the first half," said Harter, whose Ducks now stand 1-2 in conference and 8-8 overall. “We were in our four corner offense but we had to come out of it and got disorganized.” The Huskies could have put it away in the second half at the free throw line but could only hit 19 of 33 for an atrocious 58 per cent. Hansen kept the Huskies a safe distance ahead, however, as his lay-in and two free throws gave Washington its biggest lead, 52-42, with 11 minutes left. Then, the Ducks started chipping away. Lee went on a scoring binge, hitting six jumpers and a free throw to close the lead to 67-63 with 2:40 left. Edwards, however, hit two free throws, followed by a pair of back-to-back lay-ins by Ramsey and Stewart to go ahead 75-66 with 46 seconds left. Washington hit a sizzling 65 per cent from the field, mostly from the inside. “Oregon's missing a center,1' said Han sen. Gerald Willett was an obvious center last year but I think Hartshorne will be good. He’s pretty tough." Oregon's major weapon in offsetting Hansen was Lee. The 6-4 senior hit 10 of 16 shots and kept the Ducks in the game in the second half with his outside shooting. OREGON 32 38 -70 WASHINGTON 37 40 -77 OREGON >70) — Ballard 15.

Southern Cal 80 From AP reports PULLMAN, Wash. — Oregon State set up a battle with undefeated Washing ton for the Pac-8 lead Thursday night with an 82-73 win over Washington State. George Tucker displayed outstanding ball handling and also led the Beavers with 19 points as Ralph Miller’s bunch had relatively little trouble with the Cougars. OSU led 45-34 at halftime and expanded its lead to as much as 20 in the second half. Five Beavers hit double figures. Be sides Tucker, Lonnie Shelton had 18, Don Smith and Paul Miller 15 apiece and Rocky Smith 11. Cal, 81-80 Jay Young hit a free throw with 51 seconds to go to lift California to its first Pac-8 basketball win of the season Thursday night. Young missed his second shot of a one-and-one but an offensive foul by tne Trojans Casey Jones with 23 seconds left and a missed a shot by Bob Trow bridge with 10 seconds killed USCs final hopes. Rickie Hawthorne, Cal's quick senior guard, led his team despite a sprained ankle, pumping in 22. Carl Bird hit 21 points. Hawk says R-G wrong about 3 A.D. finalists Has the University's search committee really narrowed the list of candidates for athletic director to three? The Eugene Register-Guard says yes. But Ray Hawk, University vice-president of administration and finance, says no. The Register-Guard reported Tuesday that the eight person search committee had submitted the names of Norm Van Brocklin, Forest Evashevski and William Cobie to Pres. William Boyd. Hawk, however, told the Associated Press Wednesday that the Register-Guard has gone on a fishing expedition. Hawk said the committee is still in the process of identifying the finalists. "Part of the story has substance," Hawk said, "But it is incorrect in naming those three as our finalists." While Hawk admitted that Evashevski had been inter-1 viewed on campus, he said neither Van Brocklin nor Cobie had ever been contacted about the job. He was unavailable for further comment on Thursday, having left for the NCAA convention in St. Louis. Arthur Mittman, head of the search committee, refused comment on the matter. V.
