Adams leads Oregon to Civil War win
By JOHN SELIX
Of the Emerald
The McArthur Court crowd
gave the opponents a healthy
booing. One player received a
technical foul. There were
bodies hitting each other and
the floor all night long. There
were 36 fouls and 77 turnovers.
By the end of the game, the
tension between the two teams
could almost be felt.
No doubt this was a typical
Oregon-Oregon State game
and proof that the Civil War
rivalry has spread to women’s
basketball.
The Ducks battled the
Beavers Friday night at Mac
Court and scored an impressive
74-58 victory to give Oregon a
3-0 record and a first place
standing in the Coast Divsion of
the Northwest League. ‘‘I
predicted a win by about the
same score,” said Oregon
coach Elwin Heiny.
The game started ominously for
Oregon. The Beavers took a 4-0
lead and the Ducks committed
turnovers their first three times
down the court. But when
Oregon’s Bev Smith got the
Ducks on the scoreboard with a
long jump shot, the Beavers
were the ones who lost their
composure. Heiny’s full court
press forced several OSU tur
novers. The Ducks scored 10
straight points and never trailed
again, though the Beavers
remained within striking range
throughout the contest.
Forward Debbie Adams was
the star for Oregon, scoring 26
points and grabbing 16
rebounds. She burned the
Beavers constantly by getting
behind the defense for easy
layups, and kept Oregon pos
sessions alive by working ag
gressively on the offensive
boards. Adams was also award
ed a technical foul with 8:01 left
in the game after she was whis
tled for a foul by one of the
officials.
The technical came at a
crucial point in the game. OSU’s
6-4 center Carol Menken had
scored eight straight points for
the beavers, who had cut a 13
point deficit to seven to make it
anybody's game. But Oregon
OSU center Carol Menken (33) got her usual 28 points, but the
Oregon women got the win, 74-58 to remain undefeated in league
play.
Swimming teams lose
There were few surprises at
Leighton pool Friday night as
the powerful University of
Washington swim team out
swam the Ducks in a coed meet.
The Huskies took a 69-44 vic
tory in the men's competition,
and completed the sweep with a
76-37 women’s victory.
Steve Vela and Jeff Smith
were bright spots for the Duck
men in the losing cause. Smith
was a double winner, with
victories on the one- and three
meter diving boards. Vela was
the front end of a one-two finish
for the Ducks in the 200 meter
butterfly as his 1:55.3 edged Jeff
Morgan s 1:55.18for the victory.
Kathy Hemmer was a triple
winner for the women’s team,
swimming to victories in the 100
and 500 freestyle and the 100
butterfly events.
The women’s diving team was
again dominant as Debbie Sill
and Staci Voorhees finished
first and second on the one
meter board and Voorhees and
Laura McNaught did the same
on the three-meter board.

got untracked and out-scored
the Beavers 19-12 the rest of the
way to finally put them away.
“They’re a scrappy team and
they hustle,” said Bev Smith,
whose defense helped keep the
ball way from Menken most of
the second half. "We want
teams to die when we get up by
10, but they just kept coming to
the end.”
With about four minutes
remaining, a frustrated Betty
Codings (OSU's starting guard)
knocked an Oregon band
member's music sheets to the
floor. Both teams played hard,
but one team played better.
"We didn't play the game the
way we wanted to play it ton
ight,” said Menken, who fin
ished the game with 28 points.
"We didn't play our tempo, but I
think that when we get them on
our home court (Feb. 29), we ll
play our game. We want them
bad”
Steelers!
The Pittsburgh Steelers
claimed their fourth Super Bowl
win the last six years by over
coming a stubborn Los Angeles

Down 19-17 in the final per
iod, the Steelers’ quarterback
Terry Bradshaw rifled a touch
down pass to John Stallworth
for the go-ahead score. Brad
