Both clubs last night utilized a tight jamming, choking zone de fense, a tactic which had en abled the Raiders to hold down Linfield with sufficient effect iveness in the series opener. Linfield, helped principally by long range cannonading, grab bed the lead in the first half. Southern Oregon, with a rally begun late in the initial half and carried over into the second, pushed on top. Then the Wild cats cracked the SOC zone for close in shots to go back on top. Free shots in the final min utes boosted the McMinnville team's final margin. Halftime score was 18 to 15. Didn't Get Shots Southern Oregon couldn't find the hoop with the regularity of Monday night, nor did the Wild cats give the Raiders the shots they had in the previous por tion. And the Raiders didn't show quite the drive of the first engagement. " After establishing .their lead in the final half, the Wildcats played for the sure shot in semi stalling tactics. The Raiders came out of their zone to get the ball. More often than not they got it, but erratic play and missed shots spoiled the chance to overtaking the -visiting quin tet. . Bill Machamer of the 'Cats was the game's high -point man with 12 counters, eight on free shots. Russ Koffard of Linfield put in nine tallies and Dale Bates of SOC and Don Porter of Linfield each night. The Raiders' Bill Hollingsworth, who had 29 on Monday, was held to six. SOC was in front 2 to 0 and 4 to 2 in the opening minutes of the fray. Linfield went on top 5 to 4 on Porter's field goal and free shot. Hal itus knotted the game at 5-all. Porter's tip in bucket, two free heaves by Machamer and Van Dolah's key shot gave the 'Cats an 11 to 5 spread but Titus and Bates com bined shots to cut it to 11 to 9. SOC Goes Ahead After 15M minutes of play Linfield was up to an 18 to 11 margin. Shots by Lloyd Hoffine and Bates from fairly close in the last moments of the half brought the count to 18 to 15. Pairs of free shots by Hollings worth and Bates and jumper from the side by Bates shoved SOC ahead 21 to 18 in the second half and two more free goals by Hollingsworth made it 23 to 18. Koffard and Hollingsworth traded buckets. Then Linfield's rally through the SOC defense began. With Porter working the post well, with other play ers driving and with some good rebounding, the Wildcats work ed up to a 31 to 25 bulge with nine minutes left to play. Ted Tenney scored for the Raiders on a fast break for 31 to 27 but the Raiders never got any near er. Linfield ran "the margin to 36 to 27 before the Ashland club could again score. Widest spreads for the visitors during the night were 39 to 29 and 41 to 31. :: LINE-UPS . .
