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

race at Nelson, New Zealand.
The Duck quartet of Vic

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

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

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

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."

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.
The Wildcats from Central i
Washington gave up only three
bouts, all on pins to the OSU |
Beavers just last week, even

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

He did say that Washington has
its best squad in years and the
