and took a 27-18 half-time lead.
The Huskies could seem to do
nothing but foul in tlvat period.
They walked off the court for
tlie intermission rest a dejected
group of lads. But they came out
with fangs bared in the second
half and began to work mora like
tliey were capable of working.
Smith began hitting from out
side wliile Hill began to draw
tlie fouls and got hot from the free
throw line as he hit nine of 11 in
the second half.
Hill hit one free tlirow to tie
tlie game for tlie first time at
31-31 and his second shot gave tlie
Huskies their first lead at 32-31
with two minutes gone in the
fourth period. They had cut the
margin to 31-30 by tlie end of the
thud frame.
Smith then hit on a fielder for
a 34-31 lead but the Pirates fought
back. But Merrill's press, which
the Huskies had begun midway
through the third period, was
bothering the Pirates. The Pi
rales then began to set up the
blind screens and came back to
nly to see that effort fade into
lefeat when Cascade Locks' Ron
Jensen hit on a pair of charity
losses with 11 seconds left to
give tlie Pirates a 48-47 win over
the Huskies.
It was a heartbreaking loss for
the Huskies who had fought back
so valiantly from a first half def.
icit of nine points and had taken
he lead. But starting guard Bob
Moore fouled out and was re
placed by sophomore M a r 1 i n
Barnes. Barnes was the victim of
a blind screen and he fouled Jen
sen coming down court at the
mid-court line. Jensen, who had
twice only minutes earlier missed
on one-and one-shot situations
made good on both this time for
the victory.
The game was far from being
one of Merrill's better games of
the Season. They apparently had
tournament jitters or just one of
those cold nights that come along.

However, they had more bas
kets than the Pirates but lost the
game at the gift line. Cascade
Locks hit only 14 of 43 field shots,
but connected on 20 of 38 tosses
from the line for the win. Merrill
hit only 15 of 28 giflers for .536
per cent.
Ken Smith, Dave Hill and Bob
Moore led the Huskies. Smith
made seven of the 16 Merrill
baskets (or 15 points. Hill also
tallied 15 markers, but he got
11 of his from the charity line
where he had 15 attempts. Moore
netted 10 points before leaving
the game on five fouls
Fouls hurt the Huskies from the
beginning. Larry Conner, the fine
sophomore forward, had four fouls
in the first half as did Hill. Hill
managed to remain in the came
hut Conner finally fouled out. The
Huskies were whistled down 25 1
times and Cascade Locks 22
times.
Coach Jerry Grocneveld's learn
was extremely cold in the first
period. The Huskies didn't make
a basket until there were 2:33
left in the quarter when Smith
popped one from tlie top of tlie
key. The Pirates had jumped to a
9-2 lead when Smith connected. He
and Hill combined to pull the
Huskies to within one at the pe
riod, 9-8.
- Merrill opened up the second
period with two quick points
when Moore took the tip off and
was all alone. But this was the
period which hurt the Huskies.
The Pirates began to hit from all
on another two chanties. But
Kurtz sliced the margin to one
point on a swisher from the top
of the key-
Sid Nolan put the Pirates into
another throe - point lead on a
jump shot with 2:45 left. But
Moore dropped in a long jump
shot with 2:36 left and was fouled
after the shot. He had two shots
but hit only the first one to tie
the game at 43-43.
Smith and Moore were doing a'
beautiful defensive job out front
by slapping the ball away from
tlie Pirate guards and stealing it.
Smith did this again and laid it
in with 2:26 left for a 45-43 Merrill
lead. After Jim Stewart had
missed a one-and-one situation
Nolan hit a jumper for the tie at
45-all.
Smith hit anotlier cluu.-h jump
er for Merrill's final points with
51 seconds remaining in t h e
game and a 47-45 lead. Tilings
began to look good for the Hus

a bad pass and it was stolen by
Moore with 30 seconds left
The Huskies called time out.
They decided to stall, but tlie
I Pirates began pressing. Moore

but lost it to Bonta and fouled
Nolan trying to get tlie ball
back. Nolan made tlie first shot
for a 47 - 46 Merrill lead and
missed tlie second, got the re
bound, shot, missed and Barnes
rebounded for tlie Huskies and
things still looked good.
Barnes was fouled with 16 sec
onds left and had a one and
one. But he missed the first one.
Cascade rebounded and then the
blind screen foul on tlie pressing
Barnes finished the Huskies.
