On one occasion it was the ap pearance of Percy Carpenter on the floor that stopped an apparent walkaway for Puget Sound. But at the final turning point It was yoang Bud Rleke who went in and hot the field goals that tucked the game away, after Jim Bur dette, another reserve tossed into the fray In its final wild moments, had scored to put Willamette Ahead for the last time. Loggers' Fast Break puget Sound's dazzling fast break system baffled the Bearcats during part of the first half, and loss of both Willamette forwards on personals appeared to be a fa tal blow later on. But these diffi culties along with the enormous total of 23 personal fouls called en the home squad, were all final ly surmounted. Willamette ieo, v 10 j, in ia early minutes of the game, but once Puget Sound got the range, the lead changed sides, with ev erything the Loggers threw at the basket going in. Coach Roy Sandberg's men cut loose with one handed overhead shots which couldn't miss their mark. The Loggers led 16 to 11 and then 19 to 13. Percy Carpen ter then entered the game and at ence drew a foul and brought the count up. The score unouea ai 11-all, but the Loggers burled an other shot in the basket to get a Jl-to-19 half-time lead. The ball was moved speedily bout the court the first half and fouls were numerous. The Loggers maintained a tight defense which beld the Bearcats at bay most of the time. Paget Hound Takes Second Half Lead The Washington men boosted their lead to 26 to 21 at the start of the second half, but just then Percy Carpenter steamed up and cored a couple of field goals. On one of the plays he thundered dnmn the. sidelines and sprang high in the air to spear a ratter running pass and cut under the basket for a cripple. Faber played a speedy game while In, but was the first to go out on fouls. Benjamin was the next Willamette player to succumb to the lure of hacking and such tactics, but meanwhile Gagnon and Command went out for Col lege of Puget Sound. The score once more knotted, at 28 this lime, and Puget Sound gain took the lead. Roy Benja min tied the count shortly before going out and Jum Burdette, sub forward, brought Willamette to the lead at 32 to 30. McCoy con verted a foul for the Loggers and ' then Rleke put in another to put the game on ice. The Bearcats used a semi-stall to maintain the lead during the last three minutes and to save themselves for tonight's struggle.

And what happened? -Hack Wilson, who in 1980 had led both leagues in heme runs and driven in more runs than anyone had ever driven in before, proceed ed to fall down en the job com pletely.

II (AP) -The Washington State college Cougars faltered In their cham pionship stride here tonight and dropped a Pacific Coast Confer ence basketball game to the Uni versity of Oregon. The score was 34 to 32. Oregon led 19 to 11 at the half. Oregon is the only northern di vision team that has been able to overcome the Cougars this season. Washington State rushed Into the game and ran up a three point lead in the first two minutes of play. Then the Webfoots came to life and ran their score to 15 be fore the Cougars found the basket again. After that Oregon was nev er headed. The Cougars gathered their forces in another thrust early in the second half and tied the score at 19 all but three field goals in rapid succession put the Web foots well in front once more. Oregon was leading, 33 to 26, 1 C0JLW COMMENTS We've been getting lots of variety in the wrestling game here this winter. Of coarse Robin Roh1 and Ernie Arthur repeated, but nobody minded that. Next Tuesday the menu Will be headed by old Henry Jones, the strawberry king. and Snarling Wolf, a total newcomer. The latter is a young Indian from Glendive, Mont. It's said that Snarling Wolf was taken In hand by Chief Mon- tu, famous Indian wrestler of an earlier decade, at the tender age of seven years, and was brought up on wristlocks and toeholds. And yes sir, there's going to he a fight card next week too: Tooghy Wing, the comeback kid. Is billed with Ad Cadlna, Portland speed merchant, in the main erent. Nobody doubts that Toughy Wing knows the mitt-game from A to Izzard. Some fans perhaps may figure that his comeback isn't coming so well. We don't profess to know but Harry Plant Invites and doubters to visit the Capital Athletic club gymnasium any night at 7:30, see Wing work out and judge for them selves. Wow, what a basketball game! None of that stall and wait stuff for Willamette or Paget Sound either. The Bear cats didn't know, for most of of the first half, what to do about a fast break that rarely was a fast break. ItH be hot and furious again tonight, with the Loggers hold tng a little better chance because they'll be used to the floor. It took them several minutes to get the range last night. Oregon may be down toward the bottom la the Coast con ference, bat anyway it eaat get less than aa even break with the probable champions. Husky Noses Out Win Over Vandal SEATTLE.
