Wrestlers Split Beaver, SJS Meets By KAN1)K WILMARTIt Sports Fdltor (live or take a match and the Oregon wrestlers might have re versed the split they scored in this weekend’s two meets. Or even Improved upon it. The Ducks gained decisions In the last two bouts Friday in Mc Arthur court to edge San Jose State in a come from-behind 17 14 victory and then won only four of nine matches Saturday in Cor \allis and suffered a 19 12 defeat at the hands of Oregon State. The split moved the Duck's season record to 10-41 and con cluded the team’s dual meet sea son Next competition will be March 4 JV in Seattle when the Webfoots will enter the AAWU tournament We were hoping to get one more win," said Keith of the OSU meet, "but they wouldn't let us have it We won the four we ex pected to win, but we just couldn't quite do the job." Those four wore the Ducks with the best season's records-—Doug Robertson, now 13-3-2, defeated Ron Iwasaki at 123 pounds, 0-2; Curt Scott, 14 2, crushed Matt Dunckel at 130, 10 2; Bob Mitchell, 10-4-1, edited Jim Quinn at 180, 3-2; and Bruce Glenn, 13-0, de feated Jeff Smith at 107, 3-0 Keith, obviously, was happy with the quartet. "Curt and Doug looked good, and Dunckel's been doing real well for them. Mitchell did a good job, but he hasn't com pletely recovered from the flu Glen looked good in the first round; he got the takedown and lots of riding time." The Beavers picked up a couple of pins for their seven-point mar gin. OSU's Steve Woods, 137 pounds, pinned Mike Buck in the third round, as did Robin Bolton when he met Oregon’s Steffen Criner. Bolton picked up four quick point* in the first round on a whi/.zer and hip lock combination for a Tit and predicament, but L'riner moved within two points at 5-3 in the third round with an escape and a strong riding time advantage. Then, according to Keith, Criner "went in for the takedown late in the third round and Bolton caught him” for the fall Same Thing Friday If one match could have changed the final score Saturday against OSU, then the Ducks were in the same position Friday dur ing the Spartan match. Loren Miller's 100-pound 14 2 decision over Oregon’s John Mai pass left both teams in an identi acl position with 11 points, each squad having won previously two bouts by decision and one by a fall The meet took the same static appearance during the next match as Mitchell and Cy Lucas fought [ to a 2 2 standoff with only sec onds remaining. But Mitchell, on the offense, lost control of Lucas at the buzzer and the Spartan gained a slim 3-2 decision. That gave San Jose State a 14 11 team lead, which only seemed safe for about two minutes into the next match. Oregon 177 pounder Kent Studebaker scored a TD in the first round of his match with Paul Hatling and went on to a 10-3 win. Heavyweight Bob Lawrence wrapped it up for the Ducks with a convincing 12-4 win over Rich Popejoy. “Worried for Awhile” “Bob (Mitchell) was trying for the win instead of the tie,” said Keith. “He should have played it safe. I was worried there for awhile, but it came out alright. That Lucas was good, though. He's a strong kid.” Oregon moved into an early 8-0 lead on the strength of a 12-1 de Frosh Foes Harsh In Weekend Games !1> l»AVK RARONTI Sport* Writer There have t*een better week ends than the last a* (ar a* fresh man s(M>rt* are concerned Four yearling teams went into action five times and on each oc casion met with a convincing de feat, The first to go were coach Jerry Anderson * hoopsters. Visiting Multnomah Athletic Club, using a IB point perform ance by former Webfoot all American Chuck Bask, snapped the froah winning streak at seven, 81 72. despite a 29 point eflort by Duckling (lien Campbell MAC, which had "just too much rebounding strength" for the Ore gon youngsters, roared away to a ten (xiint advantage early in the first half, led 4133 at intermis sion, and coasted in from there The only other freshman to hit double figures was guard Rick Abrahamson with 13 “Roughest Croup" Abrahamson added 28—-high for the game—the following after noon, but the frosh still lost, 102 89. to what Anderson called the roughest group his team has played all year — undefeated Claudia's, champions of the Port land AAU league. SC Stops... (Continued front pone 4) night And with Jones hitting for only four points, equalling his season's low effort, the Webfoots j were dead. If the Duck guards were be low par, the forward duo of Jen nings and Thomas came into their own. Although performing in the shadow of Block’s fantastic exhi bition, these two combined for a 15 for 22 sHooting mark, in ad ] dition to grabbing seven rebounds apiece. Obviously disappointed in the loss, Belko seemed relatively sat isfied with the play of his charges. “The kids worked hard,”, he said, "if only we could have i gotten within three or four, then we could have settled down and played basketball. As it is, we: had to go out there and try to catch them. They (USC) did everything we thought they would, and they hurt us with it.” Coach Praises Teams Twogood, the personable Tro jan boss, was laudatory in his remarks about both teams. "1 thought we played one of our better games this year,” he not ed. ‘‘I thought Oregon played great. We just traded baskets for a while. Steve’s club is 100 per cent better than the one we play ed before. They owned the corner shot, the toughest one in bas ketball.” “I’m not a believer in all-Am erica teams,” said Twogie in ref erence to Block’s outstanding play, “but if that kid isn't all Am erica, there is no justice.” Claudia's boat the Ducklings in almost exactly the .same fashion as Multnomah Athletic Club did the day before by building up a 12point first half lead, and then keeping it between six and 15 the rest of the way to win. Three players.including for mer Oregon State star Frank Pet ors had at least 25 points for the winners. Former Beaver all American Jim Jarvis added 10. Orwyn Sampson's gymnastics squad, minus their most valuable all-around performer, Wayne Noecker, received a surprising performance from Brian Tallman i but still lost to host South Salem Friday night, 5846 Tallman filled in for Noecker by taking the all around event in addition to placing second on the parallel bars, horizontal bar, and third on the side horse. Kisslrr Wins Spence Kissler did what he usu ally does on the still rings—win— for the only other frosh success. Another weekend casualty was the wrestling team, which suc cumbed 31-0 to the same Oregon State Rook team that beat them 39-2 four weeks earlier. The visiting Webfoot matmen were, in coach Don Hoiness’ words “way down.” Not one particular ly satisfying performance could be had out of the whole group, he said. The freshman swimmers, even with the help of their coach, na tional champion and Olympian Jack Kelso, couldn't beat their j varsity counterparts. Kelso won two events for the frosh—the 200 yard breaststroke and individual medley—in a meet that saw only one "legitimate” freshman win. That man was Wayne Schwandt, who edged out Parry Folinsbee of the varsity in the diving competition. ^'726*7412 EucemE II CldWIlD OH UIHllft flVC IIVffffR IICII1 a>4 Srn»t/IHD PRIVE-IH ^ITMIATRI ^ Open 7 p.m. Two chillers to turn your dreams to screams!
