Hoop Team Hosts Bears, Indians Nasty Savages, Anyway! By BILL MORRIS Sports News Editor Coach Steve Belko was optimis tic this week about his team’s chances in the PAC. "We’re not out of the ranning for the top spot yet.” Belko said. "Right now' I would say that on a given night any team in this confer ence can beat any other team." This was exemplified last week end when Washington State slipped by top ranked UCLA, and knocked the Bruins out of the top position in the conference. "It’s not who you beat now,” Belko added. “It’s how many you win. This week should untangle the conference a little, but I sus pect it will go down to the last week.” Oregon faces the two teams they faced last weekend, Stanford and California—only this time the Ducks will have the McArthur Court advantage. Friday at 8 p.m. the Ducks face Stanford, who beat them, 81-64. at Palo Alto last Friday. Oregon stayed with the Indians through the first half, but Oregon main stay Jim Barnett fouled out with seven minutes remaining in the game and Stanford quickly pulled away. “We'll have to have a better effort on Ray Kosanke and Bob Bedell.” Belko said, recalling Stanford’s win. “We’ll have to bottle up Kosanke in the middle of the floor. Board Play Vital “Board play will be a key fac tor against Stanford,” Belko add ed. ‘They are one of the best in the conference on the boards this year.” Kosanke and Bedell got 23 and 24 points respectively for the In dians last weekend, accounting for 17 of the Indians 56 rebounds. Saturday night at 8 p m. the Ducks face what Belko terms as one of the fastest teams on the coast — California. "Outside of UCLA, they're the fastest team EMERALD SPORTS PAG Hoop Stats SCORING FG FT Block, USC 45 51 Harris, Stan. 44 31 Barnett, Ore. 40 38 Lynn, UCLA 43 23 Kosanke, Stan. 38 31 Harris, Wash. 36 29 McKean, WSU 36 23 Critchfield,.Cal 35 19 Hovde, Wash. 36 17 Bedell, Stan. 37 14 Pts.

"We played one of our best games defensively against Cal," Belko added, "and they w c r e rough because they were so fast. “That Critchfleld (Russ) is one of the finest shooters in the country,” Belko declared. "You can defense him real well and he'll still hurt you They set screens for him mostly, but he's so fast he can score on his own a lot too.” The 5 10 Critchfleld scored 21 points against both Oregon and Oregon State last weekend, de spite both teams setting their de fenses against him. Belko reflected on the Ducks season record, and said he thought the beat games Oregon j has played this season were! against Washington and Oregon State. "We've come a long way since Barnett has decided he doesn’t! have to carry the team," Ilelko said. "Now he is setting an exam ple for the other players with his passing and lloor play, and sev eral of them are following suit, ; Dave Kafoury has been doing a good job at setting up plays and Nick Jones is beginning to do the ! same.
