The Ducks were beaten by Oregon State 16-14. 16-14; by Montana State 16-14, 15-7, and by Washington State 15-10, 15-10. “Against Oregon State we had the least number of offensive cre dits in a game this year," noted Voelz. “That (the loss to OSU) was the biggest surprise, bacause we should have blasted them." The Ducks did just that last week in Eugene in the Oregon In vitational, taking apart the Beav ers 15-1, 15-5. But on Friday in Seattle Oregon State took it to the Ducks and played well enough to hold off a lackadaisical Oregon team. Saturday began well, with •Oregon winning its first two matches. The Ducks squeaked by Montana in three sets—14-16, 15-11, 15-13—then came from behind to blast Western Washing ton, 9-15, 15-5, 15-6. After that it was all downhill. Washington took the measure of the Ducks 15-4,17-19,15-8, then Portland State routed Oregon 15-9, 15-10. It was the sixth straight time this season that Port land State has downed Oregon. The losses dropped the Ducks' record to 16-24-2.

Sue Stadler, Kim Jes sup, Therese Cooper, Michelle Nekota and Christine McFarlane played the entire tournament, while Anita Ennsworth and Mary Schnabel alternated at the sixth position.
