ances.”
And so it went, with the win
t»r sports spotlight centering the

Smith Pleased
Smith was very pleased with
bis gymnasts. His frosh and var
sity had a “tremendous” meet Sat
urday: he termed it the “best
intersquad meet ever held at Ore ,
gon.
“We’re much better than we!
were last year and next year
1 >oks very good with a lot of help
c iming from the freshmen," he
said
Van Rossen buggled over j
with enthusiasm about Monday j
right’s frosh-varsity encounter.
“The freshmen are that out-;
standing; they could upset the
varsity.”
Van Rossen is also looking for
ward to hosting the PAC cham
pionships here for the second
tune in three years. He rates the
Oregon facilities of the “best on
the coast.”
Oregon Popular
“We did such a good job last
time, many people are actually'
looking forward to coming back j
again,” he said. “A lot of the
kids from other schools and their
coaches want to come to Oregon.”
Van Rossen has also lined up
a topnotch schedule which in
cludes home meets with Okla
homa. Stanford. New Mexico.
Utah, and Washington, some of
the best teams in the nation.
Keith was the least optimistic
of the coaches for the present,
but feels that after this year, “a

building year, the grapplers win
be able to hold their own.
“We have two seniors, two ju
niors. and the rest are sopho
mores," said Keith. “We'll have
a real rough year, and will be
lucky to break even.”
However, he looks to the future.
“In a couple of years you'll see
the results.” Keith added.
The frosh went to Gray's Har
bor for a tournament and came
away with four champions.
Turning to basketball the var
sity went to the midwest, the
heart of basketball country, to
tangle with the Nebraska Corn
huskers and the Kansas State
Wildcats.
Although the Ducks lost 79-56
and 52-47, Belko said, "We were
not happy about losing, just dis
appointed. but not discouraged.”
Nebraska Praised
“Nebraska was one of the best
teams we've encountered this
early in the year. They have great
speed, and are faster than the
UCLA team, speed-wise, that won
'the NCAA championship," said
Belko.
“Our defense was good, a little
tense against Nebraska. We hurt
them on their vaunted press which
was supposed to be so impres
sive." he added. "We hurt them
twice, bad. and got some cheap
baskets on them.”
Belko was very pleased with
the board play Saturday evening
against K-State, a faze of the
game the Ducks have worked hard
on during practice.
The Ducks open their 1966-67
home slate against the Idaho
Vandals Wednesday night and
then meet the touring Australi
an national team in an exhibition.
Friday evening.
