Corvallis Freezes Ball, Jesuit Slips From State Tourney BOB McCABE stands by as his opponent bites the dust. Jesuit entered the State A-l Tournament sporting a 15-game winning streak and a newly won league crown. The Crusaders lost a 48-42 thriller to the Corvallis Spartans in the opening round and the following day lost to Lake Oswego, 53-42. The Green Machine nursed a four to six point lead through the first half of action against the Spartans leaving the floor with a 23-18 advantage at halftime. Corvallis came on strong the third period of play, however, taking a 34-31 lead. In the last period Corvallis stalled and took only choice shots. With 1:40 left to play Brian Doherty made a layup to put the Crusaders ahead 4240, but two turnovers and a double dribble call stopped fur- ther Jesuit scoring. Taking advantage of Jesuit miscues, Cor- vallis scored eight more points to win 48-42. The following morning the Crusaders met the Lakers from Lake Oswego. A combination of a cold start and too many fouls gave the Crusaders their second straight loss and sent them home from the tournament. The Lakers jumped to a first period lead, 16-8, and kept it throughout the game. The Cru- saders pressed the Lakers last period and scored 18 points, but to no avail. Brian Doherty led the scoring for the Crusaders with 15 points, scoring 14 from the held, and Leo Bauer fol- lowed with 13 points. The two losses forced an early retire- ment for the Wilco League champions. WITH BOTH FEET being stepped on, Jeff Walter falls aimlessly to the floor in the Corvallis game. USING HIS HEIGHT to his advantage, Bruce Harrington comes down with the ball as Jeff Walter l30l and Brian Doherty l20l give assistance.

Under pressure in the second half, they edged Central 71-70. Mitch Leary clinched the game with a thirty-foot shot with only 15 seconds remaining in the final quarter of play.

'Alf the team members think that the season is just beginning after the last game, they will go a long way, said Mr. Kevin Clarke, S.J., at the end of his first year as J.V. coach.
