Pel Enstern Oregon 8 2 .800 Portland Slate 6 4 .600 Oregon Tech .. 6 4 .600 Southern Oreeon .... J ft inn Oregon College 0 8 .000 La Grande - Larry Apple gate, Eastern Oregon college's talented southpaw who wreck ed the Red Raiders of South ern Oregon college by scoring 36 points Friday night, fired in a jump shot with only three seconds left to hand the Moun taineers a thrilling 76-74 comeback triumph over the scrappy Raiders in an Oregon Collegiate conference battle here Saturday night. The pair of wins for the Mounties boosted their league- leading win-loss record to 8-2, while the defeat for SOC pushed them deeper into fourth place with a 4-6 league showing. Applegate, the conference's top scorer and second-ranked in the Northwest with a sea son total of 455 markers, tal lied 23 Saturday night but it was his final two counters which spelled defeat for the victory-hungry Raiders. SOC has now lost its last six games in a row. Coach Ted Schopf's Redmen trailed 43-31 at halftime and fell back by as much as 15 points early in the second half. But a successful full court press highlighted a sparkling comeback as the Southerners chopped away at the Mountie margin to finally tie the count at 72-all with 1:32 left in the heated con test. Big John Payne calmly canned a pair of free throws to earn the tie and veteran Gordy Carrigan, the game's top scorer with 26 counters for the second straight night, jumped in a fielder from the base line to give a 74-72 lead to the Raiders with 1:09 re maining. Tied Again Tom Neel, the Mounties' second-best scorer behind Ap plegate, tied up the game again with a long jumper with 57 seconds left. But EOC gain ed control of the ball seconds later after a missed Raider shot and immediately called time out. When play was re sumed, the tactful Mounts played ball-control, waiting for one last shot. They got it, when Applegate found the mark from the side with :03 left on the clock. The never-say-die Raiders, playing their best all-round game of the season, got the ball in bounds in time for one last shot - by Carrigan. The two-time all-conference guard cast off with the desperation try from over half court and the ball was in the air at the buzzer. But the ball hit on the front rim and bounded away. Eastern led 70-60 with 4V& minutes left when the Raider rally got underway. Payne and Carrigan dropped in field goals and Carrigan a free throw to cut the EOC lead to five. Payne then came through with another from the field, followed by a bucket by Hughes 'on a steal and the score read 71-70 for EOC with 3:03 left. Neel hit a slot try from the foul line to up the Mountie lead to two, but Payne tied the two teams with his pair of charity tosses. Southern Oregon never led In the game until the 69 sec onds to go mark. Carrigan, who scored 13 of his total in the opening half, hit two free1 tosses to gain 2-2 tie with EOC but the Mounts grabbed the lead until the Raiders' second half uprising. SOC fired at a .468 pace on 29 to 62 shots to the Mounts' .472 mark on 34 of 72 tries. But the Raiders hit on 16 of 20 casts at the charity stripe while EOC was connecting on only 8 of 17. Rebounds favored SOC by a 36-33 margin with Dave Hughes, who also helped the Raiders' cause with 14 big points, the leader with 12 grabs. Sophomore Bob Jensen drew praise from Schopf as did Payne, who totaled 22 points for the night mostly on jumpers from the key. Jensen was assigned the job of check ing Neel, who scored 29 in Friday's game. The Mapleton youngster held Neel to 3 points the second half. Tuesday SOC hosts Oregon Tech in an 8:15 game at the Raider gym. soc KG Hughes 11-6 Vannice 2-0 Payne 16-9 Shults 6-1 Carrigan 16-9 Hennen 0-0 Tichenor 4-2 Jensen 6-2 FT RB PF TP 2-2 12 2 14 0-0 4-4 2-1 10-8 0- 0 1- 0 1-1 3 3 22 2 3 3 26 0 0 1 4 0 5 TotaU 62-29 20-16 36 14 14 FT KR PF TP 1- 0 2 2 8 6-2 9 3 14 0-0 10 3 14 2- 2 3 2 12 4-3 2 3 23 0-9 13 4 4-1 6 0 1 EOC FG Olingcr 7-4 Neel 13-6 Arritola -.15-7 Hunt 10-5 Applegate 15-10 Holmes 4-2 Turley 4-0 Tntals 72-34 17-8 31 16 76 Warriors' Nip KCnicbs?
