Kramer out
as Ducks
host finale
Oregon s chances of knocking
off eighth-ranked Cal Poly-San
Luis Obispo tonight in the Ducks
last home wrestling meet were
dealt a serious blow when
158-pounder Kevin Kramer came
up with a hip pointer in a mid-week
practice session.
"We're definitely in the hole,"
said Oregon Coach Ron Finley,
"but I expect us to compete pretty
well, even with the team we have.
Tonight's meet will mark the
final home appearance of NCAA
heavyweight runner-up Greg
Gibson and 134-pounder Shuichi
Shoji. I d like to make it a special
tribute to those guys, said Finley.
Shoji holds a 23-4-3 record while
Gibson is 19-3-1
Freshman Gary Bailey will sub
stitute for Kramer. Tim Stroble,
meanwhile, is dropping down a
weight to 167 to replace injured
Randy Besaw and freshman Brian
Dunagan will wrestle in the 177
bracket.
With the Pacific-8 Champion
ships just a week away, Joe Sade
(126) will be held out. Dewey
Travis will replace Sade, as he s
done most of the season
"It s a move we have to make
with the Pac-8s only a week
away," said Finley,. We just can t
take a chance on these guys get
ting hurt anymore.”
Cal Poly 12-2-1, has only lost to
second-rated Iowa State, and
third-ranked Oklahoma State The
Mustangs tied fifth-rated Ok
lahoma.
Charles Harmon will be
Gibson s opponent and through
the Washington meet had posted
a 14-6 record.
"Shoji and Randy Robinson
should do a pretty good job for
us," Finley estimated. “I expect
Randy’s match (against Ron Mc
Kinney) to be a pretty close
match."
The 190-pound bout could very
well be the best match of the even
ing (and pivitol if the Ducks are
within striking distance), pitting
Cal Poly’s Chris Anaya against
Bob Bragg. In their first meeting
Anaya humiliated the junior col
lege transfer, 10-0. Bragg was in
jured at the time, but will face the
Mustang at full strength tonight.

Oregon made a strong case for
being the nation’s best collegiate
gymnastics team Thursday night
at McArthur court, putting together
a near-perfect performance to
bury top-ranked Arizona State
216 75-211.65.
“That’s gotta make us No. 1
said Coach Bill Ballester. “We've
beaten three top-ranked teams in
the country. If we can compete like
this at the NCAA Meet, we ll win
it.”
The Flying Ducks' 216.75 total
ranks second in the nation only to
the Sun Devils’ 217.60 set last
week and tops Oregon s previous
best this year of 210.55.
The meet, as 2,500 psyched-up
fans will agree, was nothing short
of awesome. “I've never coached
a team that put together such a
perfect performance,” said Balles
ter. “We just didn t break. Not
once.
No less than 28 performances
were rated 9.0 or above and an
incredible 10 performances
scored higher than 9.5.
The Flying Ducks set three
school records. Tom Truedson hit
9.65 in the pommel horse, Scott
McEldowney scored 9.65 on the
rings and Bob Rikli and Mark
Stone upped the high bar record
to 9.65.
“I’ve picked an outstanding
gymnast every meet,” said Balles
ter. “Tonight I’d have to pick the
entire team.”
The Flying Ducks won every
event except the parallel bars,
where Arizona State's Larry Cox
took honors with 9.6.
