Ducks Hope to End Streak In Portland The Ducks basketball team will journey to Portland tomorrow night in search of a much needed victory that would break a two game losing streak and make their seasonal record look a little more worthwhile. Steve Belko’s Webfoots have fashioned a 3-5 won loss record to date but have done so against some pretty rough opposition. The Ducks have been forced to go up against the likes of Stan ford and California, who are among the three or four best on the Coast. Oregon is probably among the! most underrated teams on the; coast and it looks like a few op posing schools may get a surprise or two once, and if, the Ducks begin shooting with the accuracy with which they are able. The Ducks have proven already this season that they are a hus- \ tling, fighting team that won’t quit. This is little different from I New Zealanders Top Duck Milers The University of Oregon relay' team was defeated by the New Zealand quartet of Bill Bailie. Murray Haiberg, John Davies and Peter Snell in a four-mile relay j race at Nelson, New Zealand. The Duck quartet of Vic Reeve. Archie San Romani. Dyrol Burleson, and Keith Forman, j which holds the world four-mile! relay record of 16:08.9 clocked j well over their record time in 16:20.6. The New Zealanders posted a 16:20.2 in their winning effort. The contest was typical 01 other Webfoot "down-under" per formances with a strong wind blowing as spectators saw the lead change hands several times. Each of the four miles ended with a lap under the 60-second mark. | Throughout the first two legs Vic Reeve and Archie San Ro- j inani handed the baton to give the Webfoots a slight lead. In the third leg. Dyrol Burleson was assigned to give Keith Forman a fat lead so the latter would be able to stand off world record holder Peter Snell. Instead Burleson slowed and 250 yards from the finish line Davies took the lead. The mile was a slow 4:11.1, but Davies turned in a 53.3 on the last lap. Bill Bowerman, Oregon track coach, seemed disappointed with the way the race was run. par ticularly with Burleson’s mile. The other Webfoot miler, Clay ton Steinke. who will stay in New Zealand for two months, finished third in .a fast 3,000 meters .steeplechase with a clocking of 9.00.9. Tongue In Cheek Radio broadcaster Tom Har mon was discussing the Rose Bowl game on his show the other day. After explaining that the game was as long as it was and that after dark no body could see what was going ; on because of the archaic light ing system, he asked Oregon's Len Casanova what he thought of the game. Said Cas, “It was pretty good for a twi-nite double-header." OHBJOBS better products 'lower prices _ dverlising works for you! EMERALD D( 2-1411 Ext. 618 some of the Oregon teams in the past several years who were long on ability but a little short on desire. The Pilots will be looking to avenge two defeats last season at the hands of the Ducks. It was in their first meeting that Oregon star Charlie Warren set a school JIM JOHNSON Improved play sparks Ducks single scoring record of 36 points to lead the Webfoots to their win. Belko will be looking for a better shooting effort from his team. The Ducks have been get ting as many shots as their op ponents but have been unable to score consistently Belko has moved Steve Jones back to guard in order to pick up a little shoot ing strength from the outside. Jones is Oregon's leading scorer. Another reason for the shift in positions is the tine play of Jim Johnson. Johnson has begun In play up to his potential and his improvement should add the extra bit that the Webfoots need to become a winning ball club. With Johnson performing as well as he has been, all the Ducks could ask for more would be a better scoring and rebounding from junior forward Jerry An derson. Anderson is not scoring as well as he did last year and his ability to put the ball in the basket is needed to give the Webfoots the balanced scoring that they need in order to become a threat. After six-foot seven-inch center Glenn Moore, the fourth Oregon starter, Belko begins having prob lems. The Ducks have some tine defensive guards but none who can provide the necessary scoring punch to go along with their de fense. Elliot Gleason is the best scor ing guard after Jones with 38 points, but after him the total drops off to a mere 13 points for Bob Yates. Whether or not one of the guards can find his scoring touch will be another of the keys to Oregon's basketball record this year. After tomorrow night’s game in Portland, the Ducks will return to McArthur Court for a weekend double-header with the Idaho Vandals this Friday and Satur day. After the three games this week, fans and Steve Belko should know which way the Web foots will be headed for the re mainder of the season.

Ducks Garner Close 15-13 Wrestling Win Over Central by JIM WILLIAMS Emerald Sports Writer Strength in the middle weights proved to be the difference as the Duck grapplers gained a slim 15 13 decision over Central Wash ington State College on the home mats Saturday afternoon. Mike Reuter’s squad used their middle-weight superiority to ov ercome a pair of CWSC pins in recording the win. In the 147-pound bracket, Char lie Warren whipped Lamoine! Merkley 10-5, to record his first | win of the year. Warren did not make the trip to the University of Washington Invitational meet held before Christmas which was the only other action the Duck grapplers have faced this season. John Polo, senior letterman wrestling at 167 was the only one of the “middle three" to drop a match as he lost a 4-1 decision to Bill Burvee Bob Keeney, the 177 pounder, took a 6-2 win over CWSC's Ken Sayler. The Ducks lost but three of the eight matches enroute to the win In addition to Polo's loss in the 167-pound division, the Oregon matmen dropped matches via the pin in the 123 and heavyweight classes. All of the Duck wins came on decisions. Palling behind 5-0 after the first match, Coach Reuters team jumped to a 12 5 lead on the strength of four consecutive decisions before finally dropping another bout. Central Washington narrowed the margin to 12-8 and after los ing the 177-pound class to the Ducks, came back to pick up the pin in the heavyweight class to make the final score as close as it was. After the meet. Reuter stated that he thought Monrad Bjorge, Charlie Warren and Doug Muck, who just before the meet was elected team captain, and Bob Keeney all looked good in win ning their bouts. Muck, a junior who Just got married yesterday, proved his worth by winning his match 5-1. Reuter also had special praise for senior John Polo who, despite having lost 15 pounds in the last four days, did a good job, even though he lost his match.

Despite the fact that nearly 400 fans turned out for the meet, Reuter was somewhat disappoint ed in the crowd, saying, "Wo Boosters to Meet Basketball coach Steve Belko heads the speaking list at the first Oregon Club meeting of 1963 Wrestling coach Mike Reuter and swim mentor Don VanRossen will also give short talks Belko will speak on the prog ress his Ducks have made and give his preview of tomorrow night's encounter with the Uni versity of Portland The meeting will be held in the Eugene Hotel. hope wc can do more in turning out a crowd in the future." Reuter also expressed hope that with the return of heavyweight Steve Barnett sometime this week and with the scholastic reinstate ment of 123-pounder Dennis Rad ford, the Ducks would be some where near full strength. Reuter did not know if Barnett would be ready to go in time for the meet with the University of Washing ton. He did say that Washington has its best squad in years and the Ducks will have to be on their toes if they want to win North Edges South 20-13 In Hula Bowl HONOLULU (UPI) The North rallied for two touchdowns in the last seven minutes to defeat the South 20 13 in the Hula Bowl game at Honolulu.
