C. JONKS ' Capital Journal Sports Editor This is the week that tells all for Linficld and Pacific, the ortly contenders left in the Northwest conference's vale of tears. But all has been told as far as Willamette university's championship chances, are concerned. They finished going up in smoke here Saturday night against Linficld, For the past two months the six-team circuit has been setting up leaders and knocking them off but now the fate of the two would- be champs rests on the basketball temperaments of Willamette and Whitman. Pacific, with one less loss than I.inlield, has two games left tonight at home against the lowly Whitman, and one Saturday night at Willamette, which isn t lowly, just unlucky. Linficld can hang up its smelly gym shoes now and put on. its spectator glasses, because Its season is over. There's Still Life There still is life in the Bearcat, though, with Lewis and Clark as opponents this Friday night at Portland before the finale Satur day. So lively was Willamette against Linficld that it enjoyed a , seven-point lead early in the sec ond half and didn't lose it until the last nine minutes. , As could be expected, it was the loose-jointed, skinny Bjll Mac hamer who hit the particular bas ket which put the visitors ahead, SP-65. Then, after Vic Back lund countered for Willamette, Machamer did it again, 68-67, and the pesty runt, S-foot-8 Jack Riley, sidle the fall for a lay-In that established the lone of the Lin field rally. Only a Frcshmnn I It's rough to think about having the energetic, hard-driving fresh man guard to contend with for three more seasons. He scored 25 points by hitting 11 of 16 shots for a .6R8 percentage, topped only by Machamcr's 26 on 12 hits in 28 attempts. , Machamer is used to this thing called scoring. He bears a 2.1.4 average in the conference by be ing able to pot them from all angles with his quick flips o( the wrist on jump shots. Four Bearcats were 13 points or better, Backltind and Neil Causbic making 18 apiece, Don Hoy in and Eddy Grosscnbnchor IS.

But six big-time college coaches have something that Tar Heel Coach Frank McGuire would give a lot to own a berth In the post season NCAA University Division tournament. To make the NCAA event, the Tar Heels must take the Atlantic Coast Conterence tourna ment March 7-9. It's a sure bet McGuire. would swap a defeat in either of UNC's Iwo remaining regular season games for that prize. Pressure Too Great McGuire has said that ho feared going into the tourney unbeaten, because the pressure would be too great. Such a dilemma! Coaches at Connecticut, Canisi us, Kentucky, Miami of Ohio, Southern Methodist and Idaho State can rest easy until the NCAA tourney. The same goes for Manhattan, Seattle, Memphis State, Dayton, Cincinnati and St. Bonavcnturc, who have accepted 0 of the 12 spots in the other ma jor postseason circus, the National Invitational Tournament. Connecticut wrapped up the Yankee Conference snot last week, Canlsius accepted one of ine seven at-large bids Saturday and the other four NCAA starters locked up slots that night.
