McHuah Claims UCLA Is Human Derailed by Indians at Stanford Junction By DAVE BARONTI Sports Writer Basketball coach Steve Belko was absent from yesterday’s Ore gon Club banquet at the Eugene Hotel, but his assistant. Phil Mc Hugh, gave a pretty good account of where Belko is and what he's thinking. “He’s up in Seattle to scout the UCLA-Washington gam e,” Mc Hugh told the club. “And I’ll tell you one thing ... if the kids are just half as excited about meet ing UCLA as Steve is. they've got the game in the bag " UCLA, said McHugh, is “hu man” now. “This conference race is much closer than the stand ings indicate. Any team is capable of beating any other. Washington State proved that (the Cougars beat UCLA 84-83 over the week end). Front-running Oregon State, he said, is in "great shape. But they’d better be ready for an upset." Stanford, Cal Again However. Oregon’s opponent this weekend is not UCLA or Oregon State, but Stanford and California again, this time at home. “We're going for a clean sweep this time," predicted McHugh. Against Stanford, the Ducks played what McHugh called a "good" game, even though they lost 81-64. “Playing in that gym is really something,” he said. "And that crowd. . . He related an inci dent which he felt was "indici tive” of the game. “We hod the ball with less than 30 seconds remaining, and we re trying to work it in for a final shot at the buzzer. The crowd EMERALD SPORTS Hamill Dashes Lead Scrummers Past Western Washington, 11-8 By DICK DENNIS Sports Writer A second - half rally by West ern Washington fell three points short Saturday as the Oregon rugby squad narrowly escaped with an 11-8 victory. The win gives Oregon a 3-0 record in the Northwest Rugby Conference, strengthening the Ducks' grip on first place. The loss was the Vikings’ second with out a victory. Oregon scored in the first half on a penalty kick by Barry Ward, tries by Vic Gronn and Warren Hamill. and an extra point kick by Ward. The Ducks carried an 11-0 lead into the intermission. The score by Gronn came on a short run following a perfect re verse-field handoff by Pete Raven. The Viking defenders were un able to change directions quickly enough to prevent Gronn from crossing the goal line. Hamill had several long runs in the game. He scored on a 20 yard spriht down the west side- 1 line, and he often pulled Oregon j out of a hole with his dashes. Oregon coach Bruce Howe be lieves the sophomore “could be one of the greatest wingers I’ve ever seen. He's really a deter mined runner. Not only is he fast, but he's very deceiving. Warren has shown tremendous improvement this year.” Howe also noted that “the for wards deserve a good deal of credit for their work on the line outs — especially Bill Strachan, who was jumping well.” The second half was controlled by Western Washington, as the Vikings scored on a 50-yard try by speedy A1 Anderson, and on a penalty kick and an extra point kick by A1 Needier. The ball was in the Oregon end of the field most of the second half, but Western was unsuccessful in over taking the Ducks. Howe attributed the unexpect (Continued on page 7) Volkswagen Specialists • Low Repair Charges • Workmanship Guaranteed • Factory Trained in Germany • Fully Equipped to Handle All German Makes GERMAN AUTO SERVICE 2045 FRANKLIN BLVD. 342-2912 began counting ofT the seconds— only trouble was, they got about 10 seconds ahead of the actual count. When they were yelling ' one" Jennings went up for a lay-in. But the cannon sounded. Yet nine seconds still remained. There was a big discussion. Steve wanted the basket to count . . . Dalmar (Stanford coach) wouldn't go for that, because no basket was made. Oregon wound up getting the ball inbounds.” “Good” Game With Cal Against California, whom the Ducks beat 65-63. Oregon played another "good" game. The main problem there was turnovers — the Ducks were guilty of 12. "They really hung in there tough," said McHugh. “California plays a screening offense . . . the defense has got to be willing to get hit a little. The boys were.” He had equally good words for sophomore center John Pinkstaff, whose last second free throws won the game. “Cal called a time out just be fore John was to shoot them,” related McHugh. “I’m sure the coach was thinking, a sophomore . . we'll let him think about those two for awhile.” "But pressure doesn’t affect John, and he made them." Next week, he said, Oregon will just have to play the same type of ball game against Cal •They’ll hurt us, but we can win.” Being confined to his bed with a virus, track coach Bill Bower man was also unable to attend the luncheon Assistant mentor Jack Berg took the trackmen up to the Seattle Invitational last weekend. Payne Second His two entrants in the 500— Gordon Payne and Wade Bell— he said ran well, despite the fact that Bell was out of the money. "He’s not used to running in doors," explained Berg. “He al ways insisted on running to the inside and consequently got boxed in.” Payne was second in that event. "Another yard,” said Berg, "and he would have been first."

And on the boards, that’s really something." grinned Berg. Van Kossen Perturbed Swimming coach Don Van Ros sen, after a disappointing ses sion with California teams, could only laugh at some of the prob lems he and his athletes encoun tered. "When we lost to Arden Hills, we were competing against some of the best age group swimmers in the United States. Still. It’s pretty tough on our boys to see little 16-year old punks, whom they could wrap a blanket around, make them go all out, and then beat them at the end." Of his tie with San Jose, Van Rossen could only "If.” "I can see a hundred places where we could have picked up the point to heat them . . . hut we didn’t ” "That bus we have to travel in is really something" he pointed out to athletic director Leo llar his. “Hold tires on slippery roads. I should get some flight pay.” To which Harris replied, "Keep on tying San Jose, and you won't get any pay." Wrestling coach Art Keith was the only other mentor to speak And Keith was still beaming over his team’s weekend wins over Cal Poly and Fresno State "If we wrestled like that against Oregon State, wo would have beaten them,” he said. More than Just a few perform ers earned his plaudits. Grant Henjoyji, Curt Scott. Doug Rob ertson, Steffln Criner, Bob Mit chell, Bruce Glenn and Kent Studebakcr were all singled out.
