Newspaper Page Text14 Th StfrttTwm, Salem, Oregon. Sandcry, December 9, 1851 ill.M It M U TO! I ' v Stop By Jerry 8tone Willamette's Bearcats made a clean sweep of their two-game hoop aeries with College of Puget Sound's Loggers Saturday night in the WU arena as they, notched a hectic 72-65 verdict but winning, the final joust of the set from the die-hard Tacomans proved a much harder chore for John Lewis' courtmen than was the case in the Fri day night opener. i fK- Cain-riaY eve fray ' brawlish affair in spots was in doubt almost to the final gun, but a burst of points wun oweu -,,,t lpft brouzht the Methodists through to their second victory of th young campaign as a&uust equal number of setbacks. John Heinrick's Loggers were in the bal' game aU the way and when Center Don Maitland and Guard Jake Mayberry led the men th north to within two noints at 61-63 with 2:10 left, you would nave xounu w wager either, way on the outcome. Lanky Doug ixgue, uie rtonrinnt of the evening with 23 points and a great job at -the backboards, popped in a lay-in on a nice pass from Larry Smith to up the WU margin but Mayberry back with a 12-foot push shot from the right side, putting the count at 63-65 with iuu re maining. Cats Sew Up Game Then came the Willamettes' cli mactic and winning point burst. Dick Hoy, the driving freshman guard, sneaked through for a cripple and then Larry Smith, tak ing over after Dick Mase went out on infractions early in the fourth quarter, hit two quick field buck ets one a 20-foot toss to spring the locals into a comfortable 71-63 m argil with less than a minute to go. Daryl Girod plunked a gifter and Russ Wilkerson canned a long desperation heave for CPS to com plete the scoring. The Loggers were a much im proved outfit from the one of Fri day night, both under the boards and at jamming up the WU offense with a zone barricade. But even so. the Lewis bunch was behind only once in the ball game and that in the first seconds when Maitland holed a 15-footer to open the scor ing. Willamette had a 20-14 lead at the first-quarter buzzer, was on top 36-28 at the intermission and had the long end of a 54-49 count when the third period wound up. Lorae Hits 'Em Logue was the big man for the 'Cats in the initial half, whipping in six baskets and three charity tosses for 15 markers in the first 20 minutes in addition to working his six-feet, six-inches to good ad vantage on rebounds. Mase con tributed 10 points to Willamette's first half attack. Forward Dwayne Westlin, the Loggers' main gun of the evening, pulled his. team back into the thick of things in the third quarter as he dumped in 13 tallies in that period alone. He got 16 for the night. Ope troublesome factor for the Bearcats was wild passing which gave the ball to the enemy on no few occasions. Mase was next to Logue in the Willamette scoring column with 16 points, and Larry Smith followed with 10. Next to Westlin for Puget Sound was Mayberry with 14. A total of 45 fouls were whistled during the contest, in addition to a couple of technicals on CPS one of 'em being charged to the bench for yowling at the officials.

Bob Peterson, big Oregon forward, was next with 21. The underdog Ducks, behind 35-31 at the half, found their shooting eyes in the third quar ter. With Guard Ken Hunt held out in the first half because of an ankle injury, and Forward Keith Farnum hitting uncannily from the field, Oregon moved to a 52-46 lead midway in the pe riod. Guard Paul Shrum sparked a comeback that pulled Utah into a tie early in the fourth period. The score was knotted three times aft er that before Shrum and Smith hit for the clinchers.
