' A late surge by the Badgers turned a runaway game into a terrific battle. The visitors from Salem had piled up an apparently comfortable 30-15 lead by half time. They preserved a big mar gin throughout most of the sec ond half, and with just five min utes remaining, it was 44-33.. Then the Badgers j began to boom. Pacific pushed in! four Quick baskets, two of them by Ed Roon ey, to draw up to within 3 points of the leaders, 44-41. With exactly two minutes re maining, Joe Moran -flipped in a free throw (for Pacific and Wil lamette led by only 2 tallies, 44 42. Moran, eager to get a chance to tie the game up, fouled Willam ette's Hugh Bellinger while mak ing a grab for the ball. Bellinger made good on two chances from the foul line to give the 'Cats a 46-42 advantage. Bearcat guard Lou Scrivens fouled Moran with 45 seconds left and Moran connected with a pair of gifters. That made it- 46-44, Willamette. The game then assumed a wild and furious pace; at times, the antics of the players were not un-i like those of rasslers in a battle .royal. Ted Loder finally managed to break loose with the spheroid and lay up a basket for Willamette with less than 5 seconds to go. The game had started out like a rout, with Willamette leaping into an 11-1 lead after a few min utes.' Dick Brouwer and Doug Logue led the way during the early Bearcat pace. Rooney topped all scorers for the evening with-16 points, 12 of them jin the second half.

Idaho managed to stay out front all the the way to rack up a half-time lead of 24-23, but each time the Vandals bucketed one, the Ducks retaliated with a counter of their own. The Ducks from Oregon tried to make a game of it during the second half but the combination of Idaho's, man to man defense and their own poor shot average was too much for them. Ida.no Reserve Forward, Dick Reed, who fired a 17-coin t bar rage in last night's game could make only 5 tonight but he was the Vandals' defensive kingpin.

The United States sled, led by Stan Benham, Lake Placid, N. fire chief, had to take second place after the two opening runs down the treacherous 16-curve course. It was the renewal of a tense ri valry between Benham and Feier abend, who battled for the title last February at Lake Placid, with the Americans coming out on top. Then, Benham captained the No. 2 UJ5. sled, while Feierabend had to take third place. Only one UJS. team is here. This time,. however, with three new crewmen riding behind him down the icy, treacherous slopes, the Swiss pilot steered his sled across the finish ine n record time on the second run. The time was one minute, 21.64 seconds. It gave Feierabend and his mates a total time of 2:44.64 for the double run down Cortina's twisting course, considered one of the best, but most , hazardous in Europe. But right behind them, and still with a chance to hold the title which America won at St. Moritz at the 1948 Olympics and since has held, was the Benham sled. The time for the Americans was 2:45.91, and the final two runs tomorrow will tell the tale.
