mKamikazes snapped back to reality | Huskies halt UO’s 9-game streak, 67-62 By BOB WELCH Of the Emerald Surprise — the Kamikaze Kids are human. Nearly invinceable for the last month, able to beat UCLA fcy 20 at Pauley and leap through thousands of fans at the airport, Oregon fell victim to eighth ranked Washington 67-62 Thurs day nght at McArthur Court. Washington," said Oregon Coach Dick Harter, "played a good basketball game, especially in the last four minutes. Pacific-8 conference UCLA Washington Otegor.

They (Washington) made the intelligent plays,' said Harter, "and we made the defensive mis takes that let them get those bas kets at the end Stu Jackson, who hadn t con nected on one of his seven field goal attempts, then muscled in a couple of shots underneath to brinq the Ducks within one, 61 -60, at 47. Dorsey, however, countered with a pair of free throws, Lee s driving eight-footer was hard off the bade board and that was that. The win boosts the Huskies to 9-3 in the Paafic-8 play — tying Ducks face OSU tonight By GREG STILES Of the Emerald CORVALLIS — Oregon and Oregon State, who recently battled it out in the Pacific-8 wrestling finals, will meet again tonight as the Ducks and Beavers compete in their second dual wrestling meet of the season. The Oreqon mentor sees the Ducks with a good chance to avenge their 21-11 loss to the Beavers at Mac Court last month. I feel we II be stronger than we were the first time, said Finley, "It still should be a close meet." A quick look at the form chart shows the Beavers to be one point favorites (17-16) entering the meet Two matches which could prove to be pivotal are the 134 and 167 matches. Shuichi Shoji will get a chance to redeem himself after a disappointing Pac-8 fourth place showing. He will be matched up with Oreg on State s 134-pounder Joe Kittel The second pivotal bout will be a rematch of the Pac-8 177 finals, pitting Oregon's Buck Davis against Mike Dillenburg. Davis defeated Dillenburg, 12-5 but has only wrestled twice since returning to the line-up after a six-week layoff because of a broken arm them with Oregon State for sec ond — while Oregon dropped to 8-4. "Patience was a virtue,” said Washington Coach Marv Harshman, speaking of the Hus kies' ability to wait for the good shot toward the end. “In the first half, Oregon defensed us well. We knew they liked to run and get in a guys face the minute he got the ball so we planned on throwing some cross-court passes. They played good help defense the first half, better than anyone we've played. The game left a strange quie* in Mac Court, as Oregon s nine game winning streak came to a sudden, painful halt. Befoe the opening tp, how ever, the Pit rocked to its usual high ptich of pandemonium — maybe higher. Some of the Kamikaze's relatives drew roars of sp proval — Grandmother Lee taking top honors here — but it was a Washington trick that took the cake. Six Huskies ecu ntered Oregon's traditional pre-game staredown by donning Groucho Marx masks and staring the Ducks down nose-to-nose. X “The guys wanted to do it last year but someone forgot to buy the masks,” said Harshman. "We've always thought it was kind of funny, Oregon staring down teams like that, and this year Chris Parker went out and bought 'em. I thought it was kind of funny. If no thing else, it kept us relaxed and gave them (Oregon) something to think about.” The game was destined to be a defensive battle from the begin ning. Neither team scored until Edwards hit a turnaround jumper with 17:38 left in the half. The Ducks, with Mark Barwig finding the range, broke open what had been a tight game, hit ting eight unanswered points to give Oregon a 22-12 advantage with 8:36 left in the first half. Washington whittled the lead to three at half — Lee riding the bench with three fouls— and held one, two and three point leads throughout most of the second half. Lars Hansen and the Huskies held Greg Ballard, who s been nearly unstoppable lately, to 11 points and two-of-six from the field. "They played him very well,” said Harter. -- s Swim benefit Sunday Leg hton Pool wi II be the scene Sunday for some water antics, including a scuba diving exhibition, an underwater tricycle race and a water volleyball match between radio sta tion KBDF and the Oregon swim team.
