sports Cougs make a point four times as Ducks bow in crucial series By MIKE GRADY Of the Emerald It was a bad weekend for Oregon baseball. To say the least. The Ducks lost four games to Washington State and in the pro cess dropped five games behind the league-leading Cougars with only six games left. The trouble started on Friday when Oregon lost what has got to be the fastest games ever re corded at Howe Field — 15 mi nutes. The game was the con tinuance of the contest which ended in a 2-2 tie two weeks ago in Pullman. Starting where darkness forced the earlier suspension, the Ducks went down in order in the top of the 13th inning. WSU then managed to do what no other team has done this year — beat Dean Kegler. And they did it with only three bat ters. After Matt Minium opened the Cougars’ half of the inning by grounding out, John Cook singled to rightfield. Moments later Cook scored the winning run after a double to left centerfield by 1977 All-Northern Division third base man Dave Edler. Cook had slowed at third after Duck leftfielder Mike Ritchie made a quick recovery of Edler’s hit, but then took home after Ritchie's throw from the fence sailed over the head of the cut-off man. “You can’t underestimate the advantage they had on that 13 in ning game, ” Oregon coach Mel Krause said. “They didn’t pay any penalty, we payed the penalty both times, up there and down SHEEKAI See Berg’s new OUTDOOR BOOK & MAGAZINE SHOP complete and with up-to-the minute titles like these: by George A.

There’s no way you can call what they did a fair decision.” What the simmering Oregon skipper was referring to was the decision on how the game would be finished. At a Pac-8 athletic director’s meeting on Thursday it was decided that the game would be finished at the start of the weekend series and that every player on both team’s roster would be eligible to play. Krause found fault on both of these points, stating that WSU al ready used everyone except the batboy up in Pullman and that a very crucial game was being de cided in a haphazard sudden death situation. “Going into the series we had to take three of the four,” Krause said. “And then all of a sudden, after one inning we have to take - three of three. That’s a tough situ ation to put a ball club in. “You can't take anything away from Washington State though,’’ he added. "They were good enough to do it and we weren’t. Our pitching has not improved, their s has. That was the story of the series — pitching."

Huskies show who’s boss by routing Duck netters The University of Washington lived up to previous predictions by routing the Oregon women’s ten nis team 9-0 under Saturday’s sunny skies on the Alder Street courts. Washington dominated every match of the singles and doubles competition and when necessary, pulled out split set decisions to successfully defeat Oregon for the second time this season. Ducks gear for Pac-8, showdown with USC By MIKE BAER Of the Emerald Just as everyone has predicted all year, the Pac-8 golf champion ships that begin today in Los Angeles should come down to a battle between the conference's two national powers, Oregon and host USC. Both teams head into the tour nament coming off good perfor mances in the Sun Devil-Phoenix Thunderbird Classic that con cluded on Saturday. Oregon, which had finished ahead of USC on their two previous confronta tions, finished fifth, two strokes behind the third place Trojans. Brigham Young once again took the top spot, beating host r Arizona btate Dy two stroKes, USC by three and San Diego State by four. Curt Worley of San Diego State won the individual title in sudden death with a three day total of seven under par. This past weekend was a good indication of what could be in store for the people that venture to Eugene Country Club in June for the national championships. The top five teams in the Phoenix tour nament were separated by just five strokes, and all of those teams are rated among the top ten teams in the nation. JSome fine individual perfor mances were turned in by the Ducks, highlighted by Jon Hesslewood’s 66, the best round (Continued on Page 9) reliable service for your foreign car AUTO SERVICE VW’S MERCEDES BMW’S DATSUN TOYOTA GUENTER SCHOENER Bus Ph. 342-2912 2025 Franklin Blvd. Eugene Ore 97403 Home Ph 746-1207 In singles, Patti Layton took ner first set 6-3 lost the second by the same score before virtually giving away the third set, 6-0. The other women lost in straight sets, never really getting into their matches, although many featured long ral lies and good tennis. The final scores were not indi cative of the style of play. Al though many Oregon women managed to return shots, they re peatedly found themselves un able to handle the consistent, sus tained pressure of the Washing ton women. In doubles play, Oregon could not stay with Washington’s con sistency. About the only hope for a Duck win was in number two dou bles with Debbie Borchers and Kim Jessup, the latter playing for the ailing Mo Hermann. The Oregon duo took the opening set 6-3, but after making a comeback from a 5-2 deficit in the second set, they dropped that set 7-6 and the third set 6-0.
