hassle on Monday which South
ern Oregon had won 93 to 62.
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. ::
