Ducks make it a sweep, lose to WSU 54-48
PULLMAN, Wash. — These
weekend road trips aren't doing
much for Oregon's basketball
morale.
In their second Pac-8 trek of the
year, to Washington, the Ducks
fared as well as the did on their
first, to Southern California —
zilch.
But they didn’t go down easy, as
the Ducks put up a valiant struggle
and still lost, this time to Washing
ton State, 54-48.
Saturday night was quite a tur
naround from the Thursday deba
cle in Seattle. Then, as Thursday,
the Ducks lost by six. And then, as
Thursday, they shot poorly (39%),
but it wasn't as hopeless.
Oregon creeped to a 29-21 lead
at halftime, but then faltered when
the Cougars tied it at 31 with
nearly 13 minutes left in the game.
Then the roller coaster started. As
Oregon fell flat, WSU jumped out
to lead by four, but John Murray
and Dan Hartshome canned two
baskets to tie it at 37.
The Ducks couldn’t pull the ad
vantage, though, and Cougars
did, racing to a six-point lead at
47-41.

the Cougs got one from 7-2 James
Donaldson. But Hartshorne kept it
sizzling, thumping in a jump shot
and following with a drive that tied
it again at 48. With 1:57 left, the
road woes seemed on the verge of
ending.
Except the Ducks didn’t score
anymore and it left them looking at
a 2-5 record in the conference and
12-8 on the year. Despite the fact
that the Ducks put up a good fight,
it remains that they still haven't put
two good games back-to-back.
And the fault might lie in their
shooting.
For a time in the second half the
Ducks seemed to be slipping back
into the confused-shooters hole,
as in the opening minutes they
went back to throwing up 20 foot
prayers.
Sealey and Phil Barner led the
Ducks with 10 points apiece, and
Kelvin Small added nine. Donald
son led the Cougs with 14, and
Terry Kelly followed with 12.

Duck matmen split
weekend matches
By NICK DAWSON

Oregon wrestlers came back
from an embarrassing shutout at
Friday night to defeat
Washington's Huskies, 29-12,
Saturday afternoon in Mac Court.
The Ducks strung together six
consecutive victories in the middle
weights to smash the Huskies in a
match Oregon coach Ron Finley
had rated very close going in.
Barry Boyles started the parade
of Oregon victories at 142 pounds.
He was followed by Scott Bliss,
Dan Hollembaek Jeff Stuebing,
Randy Besaw and Don Brown.
Bliss and Hollembaek won
superior decisions for Oregon.
Earlier, Larry Gleason gained an
upset win at 126 pounds for the
Ducks.
Pride was an important factor in
Oregn’s victory over Washington,
said Brown, especially after the
shutout loss to Cal Poly Friday in
Silverton.
“It knocked the hell out of our
pride," Brown said, referring to the
loss. "We talked about it among
ourselves. We had to get our pride
back We won't underestimate
any team now."
Ron Finley University wrestling
coach had little to talk about after
the Cal Poly match.
It's the worst we've wrestled
this year," said Finley, who suf
fered through the first shutout of
any team he s coached. However,
Finley did see a bright note. "Barry
Boyles wrestled extremely well
against Cal Poly — the best of
anybody."
Boyles, Gleason and Besaw all
lost their matches by only a point,
while Hollembaek fell by two
points.
The loss to the ninth-ranked
Mustangs could hurt recruiting in
the Siiverton area where the
match was held, said Finley.
However, Finley added many of
these potential recruits might see
Oregon as a school where they
could wrestle next year.
