Coast conference basketball race
Friday night by drubbing -. the
University of Washington 54-46.
The resurgent Idaho Vandals,
meantime, erased any mathema
tical chances the University of
Oregon had for the title by up
setting the Ducks 53 to 47.
The games shuffled the stand
ings with only WSC standing
firm in top spot. Oregon State,
idle last night, took possession
of second spot as Washington
tumbled 27 percentage points
down. Idaho moved out of the
cellar with Its win over Oregon.
Idaho overcame an early Ore
gon lead to run the Webfoots
into the dust during the first
half. The Vandals at one time
held a 23-13 edge.
Oregon came back strongly in
the second half to knot the count
at 40-bII. But Idaho's Bob Pritch
ctt connected with a long, left
handed shot to put the Vandals
ahead for keeps.

Dusette And
Atlas Paired
Promoter Mack Lillard an
nounced yesterday that he has
succeeded in matching ueorges
Dusette and the Great Atlas for
the feature match on Thursday
night's armory wrestling card.
They will meet over the one
hour route with two out of three
falls deciding the issue. There
will also be two other matches
on the program, starting at 8:30
pm, Lillard said.
Both Dusette and the Atlas are
full nelson experts but differ
greatly in their wrestling siyie.
Dusette prefers to use legitimate
holds and to stay well within
bounds of the bonk of rules while
the sclf-slylcd Mr. America re
sorts to any means to gain the
nod and almost always seeks to
disable an opponent beyond the
necessary amount when gaining
a fall.
The match has long been
sought by Lillard and is one
which local wrestling fans have
been waiting to see for a long
lime.
The other two matches will
probably be announced tomor
row. Jack Burke Sett Pace

that was not decided until me
final minute and a half of the
igame.

Free Throws Help
Free throws in the last min
ute and a half of the eighth grade
game by uregory and Huber pro
vided the margin of Medford vic
tory. Klamath led the first quar
ter 9 to 2, and 22 to 13 at the
half but Medford was on top 27
to 23 at the third and 31 to 29
at the automatic timeout.
Tight man-to-man defense by
both Klamath teams seemed to
slow the Bulldogs in the early
parts of both games but after
they solved this riddle Mcdford's
two quintets rolled along. Klam
