Central Washington Cagers
Top Southern Oregon 87-81
ASHLAND Surging ahead
to stay on the clutch scoring ot
Jim Clifton, and using (rce shots
to pad the margin and with
stand Raider rally efforts, Cen
tral Washington College basket
b a 1 1 team clipped Southern
Oregon College 87-81 here last
night.
The Ellensburg, Wash., aggre
gation fell behind Southern Ore
gon by nine and eight point gaps
in the first half but never trailed
after once going on top in the
second. CWC rolled up 11 points
while SOC went scoreless at the
outset of the second 20 - minute
session. That gave the Wash
ington the lead by five coun
ters. They expanded the spread
to eight points then had to break
away from a 85-all deadlock be
fore assuming permanent
charge.
Ccnlral (timed in a steadier,
surer overall performance, had
a 13-rchound advantage on the
backboards and cashed in on
free line opportunities to win it.
Southern Oregon had more field
goals and matched the Wash
ington crew in full-game shoot
ing average but encountered dif
ficulty in connecting when in
desperate need of goals.
Cox Scores 32
Browny freshman Mel Cox
of CWC marshaled the parade of
scoring with 32 markers. Clifton
had 22. For the Raiders Jack
McWhortcr netted 27 and Royce
Kiser 23.
The conflict had entered its
fiKal 10 minutes when a basket
by SOC's Paul Munson pulled
the clubs even at 05 apiece.
However, Cliflnn hemped a lonR
jumper and a pusher from the
side for 119-65 to halt SOC's up
ward climb.
Bill Franks goaled from Ihe
fop of Ihe circle for the Raiders.
Cox tallied from the free
stripe. After a McWhortcr buck
et off a Franks pass, the Wash
ington edge was just 70-69. But,
Clifton again came to the rescue
with a pair of goals for 74-69.
Then, he traded goal for goal
with McWhortcr. That was the
last field counter for CWC. Its'
final 11 points were from the
free line. And, the victory
would have been a bigger dif
ference had the visitors hit bet
ter on second charity chances.
With the score 78-73 and
around three minuets left, Cen
tral turned to ball conlrol. SOC
fouls enabled Ihe Washingtons
to stretch to 82-73. Baskets by
Tom Bornol and Charles Pom
eroy cave Ihe Raiders a ray of
hope. But, five more Rift throws
provided CWC lis widest Rap
10 points at 87-77. Goals by

well at the buzzer decided the
issue.
Stanford led 57-49 with about
four minutes to go, but then

LONG BEACH, CaW. (UPD
Washington's Huskies, who
made it into Wednesday's Rose
Bowl game on the strength of
a running attack built around
the fullback position, received a
belated Christmas present with
the news that their No. 1 boy,
Junior Coffey, might see action
against Illinois after all.
Husky hopes for a victory in
the New Year's Day football
classic received a jarring set
back Dec. 21 when it was an
nounced that Coffey had broken
a small bone in his left foot
and would miss Wednesday's
game.
But five days later it was an
nounced that Coffey's break
was not as serious as believed
at first and that the jarring
201-pound Unesmasher might be
available for use against the ll
lini. Coffey missed the first four
games of the 1963 season with
injuries to his right foota Wash
ington lost three of those con
tests. '

Even if doctors have to re
vise their opinion at the last
minute and decide that Coffey
can't play against Illinois, the
situation might not be as disas
trous as would seem at first
glance.
For oddly enough, Washing
ton also boasted the No. 2 full
back on the West Coast in UPI
balloting Charlie Browning.
He will step in to replace Cof
fey Wednesday if the Dimmitt,
Tex., tornado is unable to play.
Browning had some very im
pressive statistics of his own
during the regular season, in
cluding an average of 5.0 yards
per carry.
The Huskies also have one
other break going for them
Wednesday. Two players who
missed most of the season be
cause of injuries gr illness are
apt to see a lot of action
against Illinois.
Battle Back

guard Rick Sortun managed to
battle their way back to the
second string during the pre
bowl game practice period
which began Dec. 16.

fans will see anything Wednes
day resembling last year's high
scorin scrap that kept them on
the edge of their seats to tha
final second.
Illinois, the Big Ten champi

grudging defense which
forces iU opponent to play tha
same kind of game.
During the regular season. Il
linois ran about three plays for
every pass, scoring 16 touch
downs rushing and only three
on passing, and Coach Pete El
liott expects to play Washing
ton in the same fashion.
"We can't change," he said.
"I just hope that our execution
will be good and that we can
play up to our normal form."
Short On Drills
The lllini had five days of in
door drills at home before tim
ing to California, and Elliott
complained that the sight-seeing
and enlertainment schedulo
left him only one day (nB dou

"But maybe Ihe lack of work '
