Ducks DroD PAC
Hoop Openers
From AP Reports
The Oregon Ducks returned to
Eugene Sunday afternoon, the
victims of a double blitz, at the
hands of L'SC and UCLA in PAC
action over the weekend in Los
Angeles.
Friday night the Ducks were
buried 92 66 by powerful South
ern Cal and then went across
town to Westwood where the de
fending NCAA champion UCLA
Bruins did the same thing. 97
65
Steve Belko’s young quintet
came out a much wiser group if
nothing else as the induction
in the '66 league play gave them
some idea how Southern Califor
nia schools play basketball.
Against the Trojans, or should
it be John Block and the Trojans,
the Ducks were never unable to
get untracked in the first 20 min
utes. Even with the return of
Jim Barnett the Ducks seemed
wide-eyed and awed at the Tro
jan's ability. They were Hat. list
class, outclassed by the faster,
more poised Trojan squad.
Block Uses Moves
All-American candidate Block
just out-maneuvered and out
scored the Ducks. The 6-9 giant
from Glendale used fine moves
and his height and weight advan
tage to ruin any chance t h e (
Ducks had at an upset.
Block led all scorers with 24,
points, most of them on easy lay
ins, and retrieved 10 caroms. The
Trojans as a team completely
dominated the statistics with a
459 shooting percentage and a
big margin in rebounds with 62
to the Ducks' 36. The Ducks shot
.367 for the game.
The Ducks never led in the
contest as the Trojans jumped out
to a quick lead on baskets by
Dillon and Block and led 7 6. All
of a sudden the Ducks couldn't
do a thing right and the Trojans
went wild with a 12-point spree
and hiked the score to 19-6. From
there on out it was no contest.
The Trojan horse then ran to a
20-point advantage at the half,
4020, and was never headed.
Ducks Improve
The Ducks played much better
in the second half as Barnett,
Dave Kafoury. John PinkestaiT.
and Bob Craven kept the Ducks
from falling into oblivion.
Coach Forrest Twogood of SC
took out Block with nine minutes
left in the same but his reserves
continued to hold their own
against the slower Ducks and
Oregon was content to keep the

Split Tank Meets
By GORDON ROSENBERG
Sports Writer
Oregon’s youthful swimming
team gained a split in last week
end’s activity, losing to strong
Stanford. 65-30. Friday night and
coming back to topple California.
51-44, Saturday afternoon.
In dominating Friday’s meet,
Stanford issued a strong warning
that they are ready to vie for
the league title this season.
“Stanford is much stronger
than they w'ere last year,” em
phasized Oregon head coach Don
Van Rossen. "Their sophomores
have really improved their team.”
Led by senior captain Bill Schu
bach and sophomore sensations
Mike W’all and Mark Parmely,
the Indians picked up first place
in eight of the eleven events.
Wall, a veteran of the 1964
Olympic Games, placed first in
both the 200- and 500-yard free
style events. Parmely took first
in the 200 yard medley’and sec
ond in the 500-yard freestyle, and
Schubach was first in the 200
yard backstroke and swam the
opening leg of Stanford’s winning
400-yard medley performance.
Greening. Holding Star
Sophomore Jay Greening was a
stand-out for Oregon, swimming
to first place in the 50-yard free
style in a time of 22.5.
Junior Monty Holding took first
in the 200-yard butterfly with a

good time of 2:04.8, and sopho
more Bruce Hess won the 100
vard freestyle in 51.2. Senior Dave
MacKenzie finished a close sec
ond in 51.3 seconds.
But these performances just
weren’t enough to keep the Ducks
close to the powerful Indians.
“Stanford will be competing
with USC for the title this year,”
stated coach Van Rossen.
Two meet records were broken,
both by Stanford performers. Bill
Momsen finished the 200-vard
breaststroke in 2:18.6, breaking
the record set by Stanford's Ilka
Suvanto in 1964 by nearly five
seconds.
“Momsen’s time in the breast
stroke is excellent,” stated Van
Rossen, “especially for this early
in the season.”
Record Broken
Stanford’s Parmely swam the
200-yard individual medley in
2:05.6 to break another record
set last year by Suvanto (2:08.2).
The California meet went more
favorably for Oregon. It was a
tight battle all the way, and
wasn’t decided until the last event
ended in favor of the Ducks.
“I think we had a little first
meet jitters against Stanford,”
explained Van Rossen. “The boys
were much better Saturday.”
Van Rossen praised Hess’ “fine
performance” in the individual
medley. The sophomore from
Medford finished first in 2:09.7.
He also finished in a tie for first
in the 100-yard freestyle at 50.7.
But an official decision gave first
place to his California opponent
Wood Improves
Also turning in an improved
performance was senior captain
Dale Wood, who cut nine seconds
off his Friday time in the 500-yard
freestyle and three seconds off his
200-yard freestyle time. Wood
finished second in both events.
“Dale’s improvement is very
satisfactory,” stated Van Rossen.
“He did well in both events.”
Greening captured the 50-yard
freestyle again (22.7), and Hold
ing easily won the 200-yard but
terfly again (2:08.2).

score as respectable as they,
could.
For the Ducks, Barnett, s o r e ,
finger and all, led the scorers j
with 16 points followed by Ka
foury with 13, PinkstafT with 11.
and Craven with 10. Craven seem
ed to play one of his best games
for the Ducks as he rebounded
well against his taller and quick
er opponents. However, this was i
not enough to offset the Trojans
blistering attack.
Besides Block, Harvey Dillon.
Bill Westphal. and Doug Bolcom
were in double figures for the
Trojans who showed a well
rounded attack.
UCLA
Saturday night the Ducks be
came the Bruin’s 35th consecutive
PAC victim. The Ducks have not
beaten UCLA since 19™
The Ducks were no match for
the fired up Bruins, who took u
minutes in the first half to nin
in) a 25 point lead and then hold
the Ducks at bay for the rest of
the game, except for a brief in
terval after intermission when
the Ducks got within 10 at -17
The same game pattern devel
oped as the previous night against
SC. The Ducks just couldn't gel
untracked to make an attempt at
an offensive attack In fact, the
Ducks hit only two Held goals
in the first 12 minutes, one by Ka
foury and the other by I’ink
stall. ,
Again the only bright spot for
the Ducks was Barnett, the
game's leading scorer, but he got
absolutely no imp «rom the n-st

Wrestlers Stop Huskies
By RANDE WILMARTII
Sports Editor
Oregon wrestlers nabbed their
first dual meet win of the season
Saturday night in McArthur
Court—thanks to a 15-12 loss the
night before to Western Wash
ington.
Washington’s Huskies fell to
the Ducks by a huge 41 0 margin
and caused new varsity head
coach Art Keith to remark: "That
first match Friday night helped a
lot. For most of the team it
was the first match of the season
It was a good one to get under our
belts."
The Washington win was also
the first victory for Keith in his
collegiate coaching career: he's
been tutoring the Ducks officially
since Thursday after a successful
nine years in prep coaching ranks.
And, according to Keith, the
Oregon grapplers looked much
better 24 hours later in the Husky
match. “Washington wasn’t near
ly as tough as Western Washing
ton but we were shooting more
and weren’t being controlled from
underneath as much.”
Keith Pleased
Keith added that he was also
pleased with the Ducks’ ability
to get underneath the opposing
wrestlers on tries for takedowns
Four Webfoots gained victories
during both matches. Curt Scott,
a 137-pounder, nabbed 5-3 and
17-2 decisions. “I was real pleased :
with Scott,” said Keith. Scott
picked up three takedowns and
a couple of near falls Saturday
in his big win over Washington’s
Dan Smoots.
Although 160-pound Craig Cas
ter of Oregon officially won one
match by decision and the other
by a forfeit—one of four forfeits
the Huskies surrendered — he
wrestled an exhibition bout
against a Washington opponent
and gained one of four falls pick
ed up by the Ducks Saturday
night.
After scoring a 6-4 decision
against Western on a switch re
versal in the third round, Caster
used a three-quarter nelson on a
takedown in his exhibition match
against Washington to set up a
fall at 4:33. “Caster looked real
good,” mentioned Keith.
Bruce Glenn, 177, and Bob Mil
chell. 1(57, also picked up a pair
of victories apiece in the two
meets, each winning by fall in the
W ashington meet
Mitchell, a defending AAWU
champion, put together two re
versals and two riding time points
for a 6 2 decision over Western's
Harry Smith, and then wrapped
up his weekend competition with
a pin at 7 25 over Washington’s
Charles Locke Mitchell was lead
ing 7 2 at the time.
Wins by Falls
Glenn controlled both of his
matches, scoring a 14-3 victory
Friday and a fail in the second
round Saturday "Bruce looked
good,” added Keith
Although I) tick heavyweight
Bob Lawrence split a pair of
bouts, Keith seemed quite happy
with the sophomore's perform
ance. "I was real pleased with
Lawrence. I like a big guy who
can move and he competed real
well He hasn't had much prac
time "
Lawrence lost a 5-2 decision to
Western Washington’* Terry Lane
after Lane reversed Lawrence
early tn the final round of their
match But Lawrence's Husky
opponent, Jerry Houde. was no
match for the Duck grappler as
Lawrence held a 5 0 advanta
when he gained his pin at 5:31
One aspect of the Washington
meet pleased Keith and that was
takedowns There were a lot
more takedowns,” the coach said
"They hustled and worked hard "
Statistics point this out as six
oi nine Oregon grappler* gained
at least one TI> Saturday, while
only three Ducks could pick one
up a day earlier.
The only other win for Keith's
crew over the weekend went to
152 pound sophomore Steffen
Criner, who nabbed a 11-6 deci
sion over Washington's Dale Har
less.
