By Tom Yates A ganfr of rebound conscious Linfield Wildcats handed the Wil lamette Bearcats their first home defeat in Northwest Conference play this Keason, 71 to 65, last ni?ht in the Willamette gym. ine win boosted the Wildcats into a first place tie with Willamette in the final league standings. Both teams ended with 10-5 records in N. W. play. . The game was in doubt right up until the final buzzer, although the visitors did lead throughout ,the final ten minutes of play. Wil lamette led at halftime 39 to 36. Midway through the second half, with the Bearcats leading 52 to 47. the Lin fields went on art eight mint scoring spree which netted them permanent lead, much to ll ahf nf aKnnl half nf the near capacity audience. Ole John son started the Wildcats on their way with a field Koal and a free throw, and then little Ad Rutsch man tied the count on a fast break bucket. Rut schman came right back and dumped in a shot from the key, followed by a free throw to- give Lin held a lead of 53 to 5Z The locals were unable to cut the Wildcat lead to less than two points during the rest of the game, but kept the fans on the edge of their seats with many desperation shots. It was Td McKee who did the most to protect the lead, push ing through six points in a two minute period just prior to fouling out of the game with seven min utes remaining. j The Bearcats started out the game as if to make it a rout, forg oing into a 16 to 5 lead at the end of the first eight minutes of play. However, Linfield tied it up four minutes later at 20-aty, and the score was tied five times more before, the Methodists moved into their halftime bulge j of three points. i Larry Smith opened the scoring, hitting a :lose in shot on an in bounds play to boost the Bearcats Jnto their early lead. Smith team ed with Ted Loder to move the locals into a 7-1 margin before McKee finally scored, a field goal for Linfield. The first half was a scoring duel between Loder and McKee, with the Beaccat coming out on top, 17 to 12, by virtue of a pair of goals in the final two minutes. Lo der scored eight buckets in 16 at tempts in his torrid first half, but was unable to maintain the pace in tiie second neriod. However, he was the high point man for the gim.- with 23 points. McKee w.as next in line with 19, while Rutsch man and Johnson each had 17. The Linfield backboard play was phenomenal, and the Wildcat victory can be directly attributed to that department. Led by McKee and Jack Leonard the visitors cleared he ball off the boards re peatedly getting as many as six consecutive shots at the hoop. As a matter of fact, the Bearcats took 15 fewer shots than Linfield. The Wildcats hit true eon 3a of 76 shots at the iron ring for a .395 average. Willamette made 25 of 61 for .410.
