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

“This team (Seattle) is not as
strong as Washington or the Uni
versity of Portland, especially in
the bottom part of the latter," con
tinued Summers and youth is one
of the reasons why.

players is Jon Kemper, the former

Oregon searches for respect
in weekend series with UW
By NICK DAWSON
Of The Emerald
Oregon will be searching for
some long lost respectability
when it plays host to Wastington’s
Huskies this weekend in the open
ing Northern Division games for
both teams.
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.
