No love lost for Love
Stan Love, still the career scor
ing leader and Oregon basketball
standout between 1968-70. found
himself jobless Monday when he
was put on waivers by the Los
Angeles Lakers.
Love still holds many Duck
career records, but his profes
sional career in the National Bas
ketball Association has never
been so glorious Love leads all
time scorers with 1,644 points,
career average with 21.1, field
goal percentage (.493), total field
goals (629), and free throw at
tempts (546).
Among Love s season records
include highest average (24.6),
field goal percentage (.518), field
goals made (247) and a game re
cord of 40 points. Love likewise
holds many Pacific-8 records
under the Oregon banner.
In the pros, the 6-foot-9 forward
began his career with a 7.9 and
6.4 average in his first two years
with the Baltimore Bullets before
being traded to the Lakers, where
he was primarily a reserve averag
ing 5.6 last year and 7.2 this sea
son.
Love was named to the all
tournament team three straight
years at the Far West Classic, and
was the most valuable player in
1970 Also that year, Love s team
best USC and UCLA back-to-back
at home, a feat since unheard of.

Why Cal has an advantage
Gone for two weeks are the whistles, the curses
and the perpetual pressure. Let the scoreboard re
main motionless for the time being. McArthur Court
needs a rest.
Bring on a subtle sport. One made up of the
grades and skills of a well-tuned human body. Add an
easy-going audience. Call it gymnastics. The old
grey ivy-covered building can take that. And continue
to be a showplace of the nation's best athletes.
Wien Oregon and California square off in com
pulsory competition Thursday night at eight, and
By KEN MAYS
Of the Emerald
again in optionals Friday night along with Stanford,
the fans here will be treated to the finest gymnastics
the country has to offer this year Oregon gymnastics
coach Bill Ballester calls his team and Cal both
members of the "half dozen or so teams capable of
winning it all. The Flying Ducks are currently rated
fifth in the country with a 214.0, and Cal is typically a
late comer The Bears are perennial winners of the
Pac-8 title, seven in a row to be exact.
Too many people will stay away from the meet
because they have no idea what a 214 8 means
Even many who do come will have to wait for the
meet's end and the voice of the announcer to tell
them who won, and even then they won t know why.
In gymnastics, there are no statistics to tell you who
won the battle of the boards, who shot better from the
field, how many first downs or runners left on base
there were So the average fan sits back to enjoy the
sheer grace of it all, applauds Leonard Henderson s
double back and Japanese handstand, and enjoys
all the amazing things a body can do after it trains
three hours a day for five years.
But if Eugene can appreciate track, an
individual-team sport with similar scoring and lineup
strategies, it can team to appreciate gymnastics
With meets that the gymnastics hotbeds of the coun
try would love to have in their home courts, we owe it
to ourselves. After all, Eugene is fast-becoming one
of those "hotbeds”.
The lineup stragy in particular is interesting for
the Cal-Oregon meet, which will be a preview of the
Pac-8 meet in March. At this point, it’s hard to tell who
holds the advantage Probably Cal, because the
Bears go with three Oympic-caliber all-around men
in Tom Weeden, Steve Posner and Tom Beech. The
Bears fill the remaining two “specialist’ positions in
most of the six events with other all-arounds Since
Berkeley's all-around men are all quite good, the four
counting scores in each event should all be dose to
nine or over. In fact, all five competitors in each event
for Cal can score in that range, giving the Bears a
little margin for error.
Ballester’s Flying Ducks don’t have that. Oregon
has some of the best specialists in the country. In
fact, the Ducks could win every event, but lose the
meet. While the first and second scores might be 9.6
and 9.3, it's the third and fourth scores you must
watch for, where Oregon’s good all-around men will
duel Berkeley’s great ones And if all the Ducks can
muster is an 8 3 and an 8.5 to go along with the 9.6
and 9.3, then Berkeley still wins with its 8.8, 8.8, 9.0
and 9 2.
To put it into more concrete terms, Oregon will
probably go with Steve Roskam, Bob Rikli and Scott
Phillips as all-arounders. Good as that trio is, it is not
as good as Berkeley s trio of Posner, Beech and
Weeden, all of whom may end up in the Olympics. So
Oregon must score consistently close to nine with its
all-arounders, then use its superior specialists for the
winning edge Namely Leonard Henderson in floor
exercise, Joe Percival on side horse, Scott McEl
downey on nngs, Randy Lary in vaulting and high bar
and Mark Stone on high bar
Those performances, along with a few sparkling
routines by the all-arounders and Berkeley's three or
four specialists, will be the kind o^ 9.4-9.6 marvels
that bring down the house. But the coaches eyes will
be on those third and fourth place routines, where the
real contest between the two teams will be decided.
In the UCLA Invitational two weeks ago, Cal broke a
few pommel horse routines and Oregon won. As
Ballester puts it, “with two teams so evenly matched,
it just depends on the day...and the attitude One
broken event can blow the meet"
So the pressure will be there, but it will be of a
quiet sort. A chess game.
After last weekend, it might seem a little like
