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

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.

Then Craig Caster put the

Gary Scardina in the 152-pound

two takedowns, two reversals, a
predicament, a near fall and an
escape.
Keith was pleased with Caster’s
win. “Caster throws everything at
the right time. His timing is ex
cellent; we’ve been working on
our throws.”
