Handcuff
Bearcats
By DAVE BARROWS
Willamette University basket
ball championship hopes suffered
a tremendous set-back as ' the
Bearcats were defeated by the
Linfield College Wildcats, 60-58.
Gene Small, ex-Stayton High
ball player, calmly netted two
free-throws with six seconds re
maining to give Linfield the win.
This defeat inuves Willamette
out of the top spot for the first
time this season and leaves the
Bearcats in a tie for second place
with Whitman. The Lewis and
Clark Pioneers are now leading
the conference, a half a game in
front
Gave Up Constant Lead
Willamette led most of th4
game and even led most of the
final quarter, which started 47-42.
The Wildcats finally caught Wil
lamette at 58 all as "Bud"
Walsh, third string freshman
center, dropped in two charity
shots to tie the score with about
two minutes left on the clock.
Linfield worked the ball around
for a minute and a half, trying
to get a shot. With 21 seconds
remaining, "Lefty" Shield inter
cepted a pass and the Bearcats
moved down the floor. The ball
was fed into center Tom Good
ing, but "Big Tom" missed the
shot and Small took the rebound
for the Wildcats. .A few seconds
later he was fouled by Jerry Mc
Callister and then sank the two
points that proved to be the win
ning margin.
Dick Hoy passed into Pete
Reed at the center line and Wil
lamette quickly .called time out.
The scoreboard showed five sec
onds remaining. Willamette still
had a chance to tie it up. Hoy's
pass inbounds was blocked and
Frosh Johnny Cavener came up
with the ball. He dribbled the
ball around the floor until the
gun went off.
Frosh Appear Twice
Getting beat was hard enough
fo swallow, but getting beat by
the same players who also beat
the Frosh was just a little too
hard to take, for it was Small
and Walsh and Cavaner who had
beaten the Willamette Bearkit
tens in the preliminary, 69-62.
Both teams had a lot of trouble
finding the range and it was not
a well played game by any mat
ter of means.
High man for the evening was
Bill Colvard, Bearcat forward,
with 14. Pete Reed, another Wil
lnmmette forward, had 12. Ray
Olson and Milt Kruoger each had
10 to pace the winners. Dave
Sanford, Linficld's "big gun"
and top sore-head, had another
top evening against Willamette,
this time scoring not a single
point.
An incident involving Sanford
and Colvard marred the sport.
With 30 seconds remaining in
the third quarter, Colvard went'
up for a lay-in and after the shot
already had fallen through San
ford drove Colvard into the wall.
He also grabbed Colvard's arm
and when the Willamette player
tried to get his arm free San
ford appeared to get steamed up.
Took Swing at Colvard
Both players were surrounded
by other players and the offi
cials at this point and the whole
group started walking up the
floor. Sanford then took a swing
at Colvard, who made no at
tempt to swing back. The offi
cials removed both frm the
game, causing Willamette to lose
its hottest point-maker at the
time.
Tomorrow, the Bearcats will
leave to play Whitman on
Wednesday and College of Idaho
Friday and Saturday .Willamette
must win at least two of the
three to remain in the running
for the title.

Rutschman One
Of Coast's Best,
Durham Claims
Ad Rutschman was one of the
best running backs on the Pa
cific Coast last season, Paul Dur
ham of Linfield college told the
Salem Breakfast club this morn
ing nt the Senator hotel.
Durham, athletic director and
football coach, said that his full
back has conferred with the De
troit Lions scout and also had
an offer from Toronto of the
Canadian league. Durham said
he saw only one thing which
might be to Rutschman's disad
vantage in pro ball a tendency
In be injured around the head
and neck. He said Rutschman
had not made up his . mind
whether to try pro ball or take
up high school coaching. He
could be with the Lions for the'
all-star game.
Durham, moving to baseball,
sain tne ivortiiwesi conterence is
one of the toughest on the coast
in the diamond sport, with, pitch
ers who could hurl regularly for
I he PtC teams. He cited particu
larly Willamette, Linfield and
Whitman pitchers.
Touching on officiating , of
basketball games, Durham point
ed out the disadvantage faced by
Whitman and College of Idaho
when they have to make two road
trips and face "home" referees.
"They are set psychologically to
expect to be gypped by officials."
As for the officials, "it is im
possible to satisfy the fans and
