S3 Sll M "02 ' 455 Gale Bishop was verv nnnnnnlav with the ardent Oregon basketball tans among the 6900 SDectators at McArthur court Tuesdav nieht. which, from the standpoint of his spectacular performance, was un justified. His unpopularity was based on the damage he did to the Webfoots virtually whiorjinc By DEWEY RAY Coach Henrv Kuchera's Eucene 3 5M 4M I high Axemen had a scare thrown wo 5" 545 ; into mem at tne armory Tuesday night by the Junction City Tigers but pulled the game out of the fire in the last quarter, winning 42-38. It was the seventh straight District 6 victory for the Axemen against no defeats and moves them another step toward repeat ing their 1945 district champion ship. The Junction City club save the Axemen their second tough eve- them single handedly by scoring j ning this seasort. The Tigers play 32 points in a 68-61 victory for his wasnington state college Cougars. It was the highest scoring game in the northern division this season. The same two teams meet arain Wednesday night, starting at 8 o'clock. Bishop, who is still officially in the U. S. army, showed the skep tics why he is an All-American hoopster. He did evervthine. in cluding point-making, with ease. Ana because of Coach Jack Friel's unit substitution system and the fact that he fouled out in the last three minutes and 43 seconds, the former Fort Lewis Warriors' star played only about 30 minutes of the 40. Had he been in the game throughout, he might have shat tered the northern division scor ing record held jointly at 34 points by teammate Vince Hanson and Don McMillan of Washington. Hanson set his mark last season against Washington, and McMil lan two seasons ago against WSC. Title Ropes Sidetracked But Bishop's performance wasn't as important to Oregon fans as the defeat. Although still mathe matically in the race, the Cougars are still in the cellar with seven defeats and virtually out of con sideration. The Webfoots, how ever, were hoping to move into a three-way tie with OSC and Idaho on the strength of two wins over the Cougars. The loss sidetracked Coach Howard Hobson's hoopsters and they now trail the leaders by a game and a half. Washington State had too much Bishop and too much height which gave them command of the back boards at strategic times in the game. Oregon, attempting to stop Bishop and Hanson with a zone and "sluff off" system in the first half, changed to a man-for-man with little success in the second period. The Webfoots were also far off on their shooting at vari ous times of the contest. One period, in the second half, they went exactly seven minutes and 45 seconds without a score from the field that was when WSC broke their backs by taking a 16 point lead with only five minutes of play remaining. Nearly a minute and a half elapsed before Bishop's freethrow broke the scoring ice, but the Webfoots managed to tie the count at 4, 6 and 8 points before the Cougars boomed into a 15-10 lead after nine minutes. It was then that Friel sent his first unit sub stitution into the game. Oregon rallied immediately, and a shot by Bob Hamilton two and one half minutes later gave Oregon its only lead 16-15. Big Tiny Arndt had just put WSC ahead 18-16 after lUi minutes when Friel sent his regulars back. The score was tied at 18 and at 19 before Han son's gifter gave WSC a 20-19 lead an advantage they never relinquished. But from there on in the Cougars battered the back boards and came out of the half with a 35-25 lead. Webfoots Set Terrific Pace The Webfoots started the sec ond half at a terrific pace, scor 'ing nine points to WSC's four in the first three minutes to cut the margin to 39-34. The advantage varied between five and nine points until Stan Williamsons freethrow closed the gap to four points, 47-43. A minute before Marv Rasmussen had scored from the field, but it was 14:45 before he tallied again for Oregon's other two-pointer during the long stretch. Bishop followed with a fielder and freethrow for the 16 point margin. Oregon kept whittling at the lead, but was too far behind to seriously threaten the Cougars who played safely. . The closest margin came in the last minute when Wilkins' tipin made it 67-61. WSC even took a freethrow at tempt out of bounds to retain pos session of the ball.
