Grandview played a tight de.

the Bulldogs apparent loss of

deliberate, slow offensive game,
but usually making their shots

At the three.quarter point the

Contributions to the Feed
the Ducks" fund in Richland
have topped the $12O mark.
Don ]. Seidel reported that
more contributions came in Fri
day to boost the total. The coun.
Gilman has been heading up the
drive to buy feed for starving
ducks and geese.
He reported that another 500
pounds had been purchased
with newly raised funds and
were available at the Richland
Supply company at the corner
of George Washington way and
Lee Boulevard.
Seidel emphasized that it was
important to keep feeding, now
that ducks had formed a habit
of grouping in the feeding areas.
He said as long as the cold wea-
ther and snow-covered ground
continues the danger to the wa
terfowl will continue.
The Richland Rod and Gun
club was also busy this week
feeding ducks and geese along
the Columbia river in the Mel
son slough area. Lowell Johnson,
president, reported the club was
also feeding about 500 pheas-
ants in one area, and hundreds
Of quail.
A total Of 2,7O0 pounds of
cracked corn has been purchased
to date, Seidel said.

night. .....~
Reserve. forward Dick Reed
scored II points to lead Idaho
to it's first win in six games
but it still left the Vandals in
the Northen Division cellar, a
full game behind the fourth
place Ducks.
Idaho played Oregon off its
feet on both offense and defense.
The Webfoots made only three
field goals in the first IA min
utes of the second half and when
they finally began to connect
they were hopelessly behind,
81 to %.
The Vandals drifted through
the Oregon defense at times
with almost no resistance on
set plays.
The Ducks, who were never
ahead, crept within three points
at 1920 on Viii Urban's tip in
a few seconds after the sec.
ond half started.
The Idahoans opened up with
an offensive the likes of which
Vandal fans haven't seen all
season. Dick Geisler, Bob Sheel-
er and Bob Pritchett stormed the
Oregon goal and built the Ida
no advantage to 80 to 20 with
five minutes gone.
It was 38 to Is a few minutes
later when Idaho opened up
again. Geisler, Sam Jenkins,
Wheeler and the little sub, Reed,
led the Smelling this time as
the Vandals rolled on to a 81
to % bulge. The 22-point mar.
gin was Idaho's biggest of the
night.
In the six minutes that fol.
lowed, the stunned Ducks were
able to recover somewhat and
cut the lead to the final 10
points.
Reed, a substitute for two
years, was a surprise starter and
he played the whole game for
Idaho. Only 5-feet, 8-inches tall,
he was a thorny problem for
OREGON every minute.
