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

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

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 freshman Roscoe Devine's

‘‘Roscoe ran a 4:08- -his best

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

"We’re going to be ready for

Feels that the immediate problem is a lack of interest in student
government. Many students have the feeling that student govern
ment is ineffective. A solution to this problem would be for the
Senate to TAKE A STAND ON OFF-CAMPUS ISSUES. Also IN
CREASED CONTACT BY SENATORS WITH THE STUDENTS. These two
proposals should raise the level of student interest and participation
in student government. With these issues in mind
