Of The Print CCC STUDENTS Much like the weather in recent days, the CCC men’s basketball team experienced somewhat of a cold streak last week, dropping two important league contests. Last Wednesday the Cougs were in the state’s capital to take on the Chemeketa Chief tans. The Cougs fell behind early in the game and found them selves having to play catch-up. After trailing by as much as 14 points in the first half, the CCC eagers managed to cut the lead at the break to eight, 53-45f At the 12 minute mark of the final period, the Cougs managed to tie the score at 63. At this point the Chieftans went into a controlled stall game and were able to gain several buckets on layins as well as for cing numerous fouls. The CCC netmen were able to keep the game close but could not overtake Chemeketa and lost the game, 92-88. Dan Alexander tallied 36 for the Cougs in a losing effort to -léad í alii scorers. Johnrayt Williams chipped in 23, while Eric Bailey led the Chieftans with 29. The hoopsters returned home Saturday to take on Lane Community College and the results were comparable to Wednesday’s as the team wound up on the short end of a 105-97 score. Again the Cougs started slow, missing on six out of their first seven shots while Lane hit on five out of their first seven. Lane went ahead 17-3 witl only five minutes expired in the first half, but the CCC mel came back to trail by only six with 10 minutes left in the first half. I LCC remained dominant! throughout the second half leading by as much as 19 poin ts. The Cougs then incol porated a full-court press an cut the lead to eight, 94-8® with just over two minutes to play. The momentum had seemingly swung to the Cougs when Rob Anderson was tagged with a questionable foul call while chasing down a loose! ball with Lane’s Jerry Zal nekee. Anderson was also hit with a technical foul for slam-' ming the ball on the floor,! which eventually led to three points for Lane and the ball out of bounds. The sudden shift in momentum back to LCC helped the visitors hold on for the win. CCC’s Rob Anderson led the way with 20 points and 11 rebounds with LCC’s Don Beil, and Kurt Ruter tossing r 15 each for the victors. Darren! Slusher and Bernie Pliska were also in double figures for tin Cougs with 14 apiece. At press time, the Cougs' were in Pendleton for a make up game against Blue Moun tain, so no score was available for that game. Regularly scheduled contests this week I include Central Oregon in Bend on Friday and Mt. Hood Saturday at Randall Gym. | Both games will begin at 8 pm. 1 Intramurals I As the intramural basketball season nears the midway mark of thè season, the team of Siri and Eric Walker continue to be the dominant force and unquestionably the team to beat. Siri’s team, made up mostly of former CCC players, gained an easy win over a scrappy Hackett squad, 91-48, on Tuesday to put their overall record at 3-0. In the other game of the day Frank Harlow’s team was able to fend off a valiant comeback try by the team of Vaught to preserve a 79-75 win. In last Thursday’s action The Print fell to Vaught, 74-42, and the Brown five blitzed the David Long squad by 30, 69-39. Clackamas Community College
