Duck netters swamp Seattle By STEVE JETT Of the Emerald Oregon men's tennis coach Buzz Summers had a chance to watch Seattle University Thurs day afternoon and he saw some thing vaguely familiar. Oregon romped over Seattle 7-2 on the 15th Street courts and part of the reason was the Chief tans' youth, something Summers could relate to. ‘‘They are a young team just like we are,” said Summers, as the Ducks used four singles wins and a sweep of the doubles to move their record on the season to 4-7. "They have a couple of out standing young players and the others are certainly not pushovers either,” continued Summers, who has a team consisting of one r freshman and three sophomores among the top six on the roster. Seattle has four freshmen and a sophomore on their roster, which has been heckled by the flu bug. The Duck win was clinched when the doubles team of Steve Bolstad and Eric Lehto produced a 7-5, 6-1, win. Tom Greider and Russ Childers generated another three set win, 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, jump ing to a 3-0 lead in the final set before Greider eventually held serve for the match. Jim Wilson and Conrad Lopez headed the Duck onslaught in the singles play. Both recorded straight set wins, while Greider used effective groundstrokes to stop Dave Baumer 6-1,7-6. Tom Goldman turned in the longest singles match of the day before prevailing over Randy Grotem 1 Eugene and l niversitv Mu^ic Association presents #ustab JHafjler Symphony #2 in (' minor “THE RESI’RREf TlOiV' featuring THE EUGENE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Lawrence Maves.

The Ducks will battle Washing ton at 3 p.m. today in a single game and on Saturday the teams will meet in a doubleheader scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Last year Oregon suffered through a 14-27 season, 4-14 of that in Northern Division play. The last losing season a Duck baseball team had suffered was back in 1932. At the beginning of the season, Krause was worried about finding that respectability. He hopes it comes this weekend. Oregon is 10-9 this year. On a road trip to California during spring break the Ducks won eight of 14 contests. However, one of those six losses came against Washington in the San Jose Tournament. In that game, the Ducks jumped out to a 7-1 lead after the first five innings, but fell apart in the latter innings, allowing the Huskies to pull out an 8-7 victory. Krause knows what kind of situ ation the Huskies are in. “I’d rate Washington comparable to us,” he said. “They need to get consis tent like we do.” At this stage of the game, Oregon is far from consistent, said Krause. “You always worry about everything,” he said. “On any given day you never know. If we play the kind of ball we re capable of playing, we can beat them (Washington). “If we want to play for a cham pionship, we gotta win all three games at home,” Krause said. Though Oregon isn’t a favorite, or even a dark horse for that mat ter, Krause thinks the Ducks are capable of winning the division title. “We re going to play for it until somebody says they’re better than we are and beat us,” he said. Krause is planning on going with last year’s ace, Glenn Fisher in today’s game. Freshman Dean Kegler and Adam Berlin will go on Saturday. Kegler leads the Oregon mound staff with a 4-0 re cord. DUCK NOTES — Kevin Tabler continues to lead all Duck hitters with a .406 average. Tabler hit his first varsity home run in last Tuesday’s 16-2 blasting of South ern Oregon. The senior, normally a catcher, might have to play some outfield this weeked be cause of Mike Ritchey’s ankle injury...Ron Sloy leads the Ducks in three homers and is the second leading hitter on the Duck team.
