HUSKIES IN
WIN AGAIN
OYER PITTS
(By the Associated Press)
Washington’s Huskies marked up
victory No. 6 last night — a 74-55
conquest of Pittsburgh. In the mid
west, Washington State’s Cougars
got a merciless 71-48 defaning by
Illinois.
The two teams were the lone
northern division Coast Conference
quintets to see action. Only one is
scheduled to take the floor tonight
—Idaho’s potent Vandals moving
into enemy territory against Utah
State.
Contrary to the previous night
when the weaving Pittsburgh at
tack befuddled the Huskies through
out the first half, Washington took
control of last night’s encounter
right from the start. They were
never headed. Halftime score was
29-16.
Frank Guisness spearheaded the
Washington attack and led both
teams in scoring with 19 points, 14
in the final half.
Washington State, whether weary
from their road trip or because of
the Illinois power, fell apart in the
second half. They trailed orJy 28-22
at the intermission.
