By LYNN MUCKEN
Sports Writer
The University of Hawaii Rain
bows were hit by a double dose
of Duck last night at McArthur
Court, losing 82-47.
Not only did the Ducks ser
iously threaten to double the
score on the outmanned Island
quintet, but they hit them with
Duck Judo Men

tion tournament.

two seconds, and one third in the
afternoon's competition

division went to Pat O’Kief of the
Ducks The freshman has a first
degree brown belt rating
Second place went to Judo Club

who holds the second degree
black belt rating. Yasumoto lost
a decision to Gary Motonaga, a
first degree black belt, but later
in another match threw Moto
naga for second place

third place after losing to O'kief
and Yasumoto
In the heavyweight division,
freshman Bill Montgomery of the
Ducks, a first degree brown belt
er, won the meet.

Duck. Jim Sindberg, who is a first
degree black belt. Sindberg's only
loss in the competition came at
the hands of Montgomery.
Third place went to Floyd

two squads that scored with equal
ease as they ran up their highest
point total of the year.
The game was only about 10
minutes old when Webfoot Coach
Steve Belko began pulling his
regulars. Only Jim Barnett of the
starters played as much as half
the game.
But it was the eager reserves,
led by Kenny Smith and Jim
Jones, who proved to be the show
stopper. The reserves unleashed
a potent, if sometimes erratic,
offense as they ran off a 43 point
second half against the inept
Rainbow defense.
Hawaii led only once, 21, on
a short jumper by Bruce O’Neil,
a former Roseburg prepper, as
the Webfoots opened with their
coldest shooting demonstration of
the season, missing eight of their
first nine shots.
Once Dave Kafoury broke the
ice with a driving lay-in, how
ever, the Ducks couldn’t miss.
Two lay-ins by Kafoury, a pair
of jumpers by Bob Craven and
Nick Jones, and a Barnett steal
shoved the Ducks into a 15-4
lead. After that it was no con
test.
The Webfoots continued the
mismatch for the entire first half,
consistently scoring a brace of
fielders for every solo bucket by
the Island squad
The second half was almost a
solo show by Jim (Seldom) Jones,
the spindly-legged hooper with a
real Webfoot waddle. He hit five
for 10 from the field and con

DAYS OF OPERATION
JANUARY 1966
All facilities are in operation
i staidly set up teammate Kenny
I Smith with his quick passes
This duo, with more-than ade
quate help from Don DuShane,
Mike Nicksic. Bob Craven, and
Dave Romppanen, ran the Rain
bows olT the court. The closest
Red Rochas squad could come
in the second half was the 18
point margin that panel started
with.
The game even had its humor
ous moments, l.ate in the first
half. Jim Jones caught Barnett
wide open under the basket and
the usually-dcadly forward blew
the shot. The ace scorer, amid
hoots from the crowd, turned a
shade of red rivaled only by San
ta’s Noel suit.
Later in the second half, little
Mike Nicksic brought the crowd
off their chairs with his hust
ling ball-hawking, only to throw
the ball away when he finally
reached the front court.
Coach Belko. though obviously
pleased with the work of his
charges, refused to find fault
with the Hawaii squad.
‘ You’ve got to admire that type
of ball club," he noted "You
can't win a game without ammu
nition, and they keep going out
there night and night."
Red Rocha, the former Oregon
State player and assistant coach,
didn't make excuses, but did
point out that his players were
pretty tired after a long tour of
the mainland In addition he men
tioned the youth of his squad,
"In two or three years Hawaii
will have a pretty good hall club,"
said the lanky Island mentor.
Belko, however, was more in
terested in the task facing him
this weekend when he takes on
California and Stanford in the
Bay area "Stanford will come
at us with blood in their eyes
after those two losses last week
end," he noted. "I’d rather face
any other ball club in the l’AC
than Stanford, They won't shoot
25 per cent for three games in a
row.”
Commenting on Barnett’s miss
ed shot near the end of the first
half, Belko said, "Jim (Jones)
made a heck of a play. Before the
second half began I told him,
Jim, you go punch that Barnett
on the nose."
For the game, the Ducks shot
a hot handed .447, including a
472 second half performance
The Rainbows registered a frigid
.259 Rebounds favored the vic
tors by an overwhelming 62 32
margin.
The Wcbfoots placed four play
ers in the double figure column.
Kenny Smith notched 18, while
Barnett, Craven, and Jim Jones
garnered 12. 11, and 11 respec
tively Dick Treglown led Hawaii
with 12 counters

Rocha Heads Lunch Topics
By DAVE BARONTI
Sports Writer
Hula girls, pro basketball, jelly
beans, and Oregon State coaches
usually aren’t discussed at Ore
gon Club luncheons.
Monday’s Oregon Club was dif
ferent.
The reason (except for the jelly
beans) was Red Rocha, guest at
the luncheon, and head basket
ball coach at the University of
Hawaii.
Red coached both profession
ally and at Oregon State before
going to Hawaii . . . hence the
hula girls, pro basketball and
Beaver coaches.
’Tve always been close to Ore
gon," the former Corvallis sym
pathizer grinned. "But when I
come to Eugene, I feel like the
black sheep at a family reunion.”
"Things are looking better,
however. I feel more at home
now than I’ve felt here in years
Really, I never used to feel safe
coming to this place."
His experiences with the Ore
gon-OSU rivalry were nearly al
ways pleasant, however. In fact,
he had only complementary su
perlatives to describe the situa
tion. “There is no better rivalry
in the country,” he said. “Fierce
competition with good sportsman
ship—that’s been my experience
with it.”
The business at hand, however,
was his basketball team—and he
was not overly optimistic.
“We're short and we’re slow,”
he said.
Then, before anyone asked it,
he answered a question.
“We’re playing this kind of
competition mainly because it
helps our recruiting program
That’s really the first thing an
outstanding prospect wants to
know . . . who we’re playing.
Basketball players, believe it or
not, are vain. They want recogni
tion.”
“Wait until we get a good
team,” he cracked. “Everybody
will want to play Hawaii—as long
as its an away game.”
Oregon coach Steve Bclko
could not be expected to share
Rocha’s pseudo-defeatist attitude.
And he didn’t.
“Hawaii gave Washington a go
of it for about fifteen minutes,”
he testified . . . “and unless we’re
at our best, they can beat us.
That goes for any team.”
The Oregon mentor expressed
more concern over the two teams
the Ducks meet this weekend—
Stanford and California. Stanford,
Hockey Meeting Set
A hockey orientation meeting
will be held Wednesday at 7 p.m.
in the Student Union.
Purpose of the meeting is to
find out how many are interested
in participating in the program.
This year, according to George
Wardinski, the hockey team will
have financial support from the
Student Union.
Additional details can be ob
tained by calling 344-0649.
he predicted, will he "mad" after
playing two had games and losing
to Arizona and Arizona State.
"They're (Stanford) the same
team that beat UCLA," he noted
"Besides, they won't be shooting
25 per cent forever.”
He also reaffirmed his view
that the present I’AC basketball
race is a healthy one, predicting ;
that the race will last at least
until "Valentines Day.”
"Despondent” freshman basket
ball mentor Jerry Anderson, in
his first year coaching at the U
of O, was also at the luncheon
along with several of his play
ers, whom he introduced
"We lost all our freshmen from
last year's team,” he moaned.
“This is a rebuilding year."
He does have a few real prob
lems . . . not the least of which is
height. His tallest player is 6-5
Neither have the traditional
"coaching ailments” by-passed
him. "You have all heard about
coaches problems—heart trouble,
ulcers," he told the club "Well,
I'm here to verify every bit of
it."
"One of my principal prob
lems.” Anderson concluded, “is
that 1 have a tendency to expect
too much of my players.”
Bill Bowerman, who spoke
next, didn’t ijuite agree
"I say these boys expect too
much of us coaches . and that
goes for the parents ami athletic
directors, too."
One of Bowerman's trackmen
500 yard runner Jere Van Dyke
—won his race at the Portland
Invitational Track meet over the
weekend “He’s coming along,"
noted the coach
Swimming coach Don Van Bos
sen reported the results of his
jelly tiean experiment over the
weekend The result, he said, was
the "tremendous beating" of
Washington
"There were kids who bettered
their best previous mark by sev
eral seconds,” said Van Rossen.
"They were really up for the
occasion ”
