Seven Flying Ducks
headed for NCAA
Placing at least one gymnast
in each event the Oregon Fly
ing Ducks wrapped up a suc
cessful weekend of competi
tion in the Pac-8 gymnastics
championships at Mac Court
Saturday night.
Paced by Bob Rikli's first
place in floor exercise and
Scott McEldowneys first in the
rings, the Ducks will send
seven gymnasts to the NCAA
championships next month in
Philadelphia.
California won the team
championship for the ninth
year in a row Friday with a
430.35 overall score. Oregon,
as predicted, fared well in
Friday's optional team compet
ition and finished second with a
424.70 overall mark.
Bill Ballester’s gymnasts still
have a hope of attending the
NCAA competition as a team
should a conference champion
elsewhere finish with a score
under 400. The Ducks would
then have the chance of going
as the best nor>titlest.
But Saturday Oregon came
out roaring scoring 1-2 in the
floor exercise and 2-3 in the
pommel horse. Don Lester
finished behind Rikli's in the
floor exercise to set the stage
for the finest performance of
the evening.
Stanford’s Ted Marcy, the
Pac-8 gymnast of the year and
possibly the world’s best in the
pommel horse, pulled out a
near-perfect 9.875 to outlast
Oregon's fine duo of Tom *
Truedson and Curt Rodgers,
who finished second and third
respectively.
Scott McEldowney of
Oregon won the rings over de
fending champ Al Garcia of
California and Rikli again
placed with the best vaults of
the evening.
The 1976 All-Around champ
Tom Beach of California took
charge and picked up gold
medals in the final two events
as Oregon's Mike Blumenstein
and Mark Stone placed third in
the parallel bars and horizontal
bars respectively.

“I don’t have any bitter feel
ings,” said forward Greg Ballard.
“Some people in the state may
feel a little because the Oregon
teams finished second. I do feel
they should have given us a little
consideration.”
In last year’s NIT, Oregon
finished in third place, and Ron
Lee was named the tourney s
most valuable player. Oregon
coach Dick Harter, however,
doesn’t feel last year's experience
will give the Ducks an advantage.
"In a tournament with that qual
ity of teams,” he said, "it doesn't
matter if you've played there be
fore."
59-41 to Washington
Women lose final bout
The Oregon women’s basket
ball team went 10 minutes at the
beginning of the second half with
out a score and lost 59-41 to the
University of Washington in con
solation play Friday at the
Northern-Southern Area Qualify
ing Tournament in Ashland.
“Super cold streak," said coach
Nancy Mikleton of the span which
enabled Washington to outscore
the Oregon team 34-21 in the
second half and knock the Web
foots out of the double elimination
tournament. The affair is a qual
ifier for the Northwest Collegiate
Women’s Sports Association re
gional tourney to be held later this
month in Portland.
“We weren’t doing anything”
she said, but praised the team's
seniors for good overall per
formances.
Oregon, which led by as many
as 12 points in the early going,
found themselves down by five at
halftime. The Oregon women
staged a comeback in the last four
minutes but ran into foul trouble.
The game was the last of the
season for the Oregon team,
which lost to the University of
Alaska at Anchorage 54-43 in the
opening game.
