Women cagers beat MSU with hit shots
By MARK STEWART
Of the Emerald
On the strength of hot shooting
by Becky Paschke and long
bombs canned by Tara Smith in
the second half, the Oregon
women’s basketball team finished
regutar season play Friday with a
71-56 win over Montana State at
McArthur Court.
Paschke hit on nine of 14 shots
from the field and scored 16 of her
game high 22 points in the second
half. Smith scored 16, eight in
each half, to get second leading
scorer honors.
The Ducks started the game
running the fast break and playing
solid defense.
Montana State was continually
forced to take shots with less than
10 seconds left on the 30 second
shot clock, not being able to
penetrate effectively.
After taking an 18-10 lead with
eight minutes gone in the half,
Oregon quit running and quit play
ing defense, allowing Montana to
take control of the boards and take
a 21-19 lead in the next six mi
nutes.
The Ducks tied the score with
six minutes left in the half and
scratched out a three point lead by
half-time, 33-30.
Oregon finished the first half
shooting only 34 percent, hitting
13 of 38 shots from the field.
‘‘Stupid mistakes — we had
those,” said coach Elwin Heiny of
his team’s play in the first half.
“We were taking poor shots and
trying to force shots. It’s happened
in other games, we've blown lads
because of stupid mistakes.”
The Ducks came out of the
locker room running, scoring twice
in the first minute and forcing Mon
tana State to take a quick time out
with just a minute gone in the half.
Oregon shot a sizzling 77 percent
from the floor in the second half.
By the 14:30 mark of the half, the
Ducks had a 10 point lead when
Paschke took control. Paschke
had a string of 12 points broken
only by a 20 footer by Smith and a
free throw line jumper by Vickie
Hunt. At the end of Paschke’s on
slaught, the Ducks had a comfor
tabe 61 -46 lead with five and a half
minutes left.
Oregon’s leading scorer, Julie
Cushing, was held to 10 points on
four of 13 shooting because of
Montana State’s effective use of
box-and-one diamond-and-one
defenses against the Ducks. Both
of these defenses employ four
players in a zone with one playing
man-to-man.
“I thought they had a good de
fense,” said Heiny. "Their
diamond-and-one presented
problems for us. Julie was
guarded man-to-man and was
under pressure. Becky and Tara
carried us.”
“We showed we were trying to
get ready for regionals. When we
run we can be tough. Our defense
in the second half was good and
once we settled down we played a
good game.”
The Ducks, who lost only one
game at home all year, ended up
with a 12-7 record for the season
and will play either Western
Washington or Portland
State in the first round of play
Thursday at the regional tourna
ment at Bellingham, Washington
(home of Western Washington) at
6 p.m.

Washington trounces Oregon in Nor-Pac
By CHRISTY BODE
Of the Emerald
The overwhelming Washington
Huskies scored 1,0941/2 points to
recapture their team crown at the
Fourth Annual Northern Pacific
Swimming and Diving Champion
ships held over the weekend at
Leighton Pool. Oregon gained the
runner-up position in their final
meet of the season with a 7991/2
point total.
The Huskies can attribute their
victory to depth and the talent of
powerhouse John Weston. Wes
ton set meet records in three
events and qualified for the NCAA
Championships, in the 500 frees
tyle (4:29.46) and 1650 freestyle,
(15:33.95).
For a championship meet, you
must be sharp all three days,”
Duck coach Rich Schleicher said.
“We had good momentum the first
two days and good prelim results
on the third day. However, in the
finals we did not perform up to our
expectations.”
“Overall, we were outstanding
and did a super job,” he added. “It
is always best to leave with a good
taste in your mouth because you
feel like a world-beater. But it just
wasn’t one of those days for us.”
Senior Steve Hamilton, the
Ducks’ team captain, swam in his
last meet of his career for the
Ducks. On Friday, he retained his
Nor-Pac crown in the 100 back
stroke by churning to a 52.46,
breaking his own mark of 52.60.
The time also qualifies him for the
NCAA meet which will be held in
two weeks in Huntington, Calif.
Hamilton failed to qualify in the
200 backstroke, placing a disap
pointing fourth.
“Steve is one of the top ten
backstrokers and should have beat
the time standards by two sec
onds,” Schleicher said. “He was
not in the race mentally. He should
have gone out in 54 seconds for
the first 100 yards but his first 50
time indicated that he would have
to do a negative split to make it.
"Steve realized it and gave up,”
Schleicher added. "I feel respon
sible because of the performance
there.”
Paul Buvick was the other indi
vidual winner for the Ducks, nab
bing the 50 freestyle with a time of
21.85. Other bright performances
came from Jay Evans in the free
style events, Tom Gamble in the
backstroke and I.M., and Tack
Goodell in the butterfly events, a
swimmer who Schleicher credits
as being the most improved team
member.

Beavers romp
Ducks fall to ills in Pac-8
CORVALLIS — Oregon had its
problems here but Oregon State
had none as the Beavers beat the
Ducks and everybody else for
The Pac-8 wrestling crown in the
conference meet over the
weekend.
The Beavers won six of the 10
individual events in the cham
pionships, with Washington,
Washington State, UCLA, and Cal
getting firsts in the four other
spots.
Oregon, meanwhile, was flat
tened by the flu and ended the
meet in fourth for their lowest
finish in five years. The Ducks had
two wrestlers in the finals, but
Scott Bliss (150) and Randy
Besaw (177) both lost to their
Oregon State opponents.
Bliss, one of the favorites at
150, was bothered by chest con
gestion, and was beaten by
OSU’s Ron Ziebart, 13-5. Ten of
Ziebart’s points came on take
downs of Bliss, who was too weak
to put up much of a fight.
Besaw’s loss was a bit closer,
although it ended up a 12-6 win for
the Beavers’ Marty Ryan. Ryan
held a slim 7-6 edge with one mi
nute to go in the match, but scored
on a takedown and a near fall to
win it.
Oregon’s two other top conten
ders, Don Brown (190) and Dan
Hollembaek (158) fell into hard
times in the semi-finals. Brown,
who had set a school record for
pins this season, had the tables
turned on him this time as Fred
Bonha of UCLA nailed Brown with
4:58 gone in the match.
Bohna went on to lose to Oregon
State’s Howard Harris in the fi
nals, 9-5.
Hollembaek fared little better.
After suffering a groin injury early
in his semi-final, Hollembaek
couldn’t quite catch up to UCLA's
Mike Burgher and lost aclose
one, 12-10. Burgher won the
158-pound division with a 7-6 edg
ing of OSU’s Bob Hess.
Brown finished third in the meet
by defeating Jay Sullivan of third
place Washington, 10-8, while
Hollembaek lost in that bracket to
Roy Glenn of Cal.
Oregon had four other wrestlers
in the consolation finals, but the
Ducks captured only one match
as Norm Knight won at 118.
Oregon totaled 46 points for
their fourth place finish, while
Oregon State walloped everyone
with a total of 101%. The Huskies
had 601/2 with UCLA third with
50%.
