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

here. 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."

Debbie Bore hers had good reason to grimace Saturday, as she and the
rest of the Ducks went down to a rather lopsided 9-0 defeat at the hands
of Washington.
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

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.
