V. Nightmare becomes reality as Cards drop mini-squad Ducks By JODY MURRAY Of th« Emerald After Saturday night's 82-76 loss to Stanford, Oregon bas ketball coach Jim Haney was asked a question that should only occur in basketball coaches' nightmares. “What happens if you have only four players left?" Haney looked at the floor and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. “I guess we just keep on playing,” he said quietly. Four players are out — two for the rest of the season and one other that could possibly join them. That leaves only eight players for the Ducks to choose from. Against the Cardinals, Oregon played the last two min utes of the game with only five players — Felton Sealey, David Brantley and John Greig fouled out. Mike Clark had three fouls when Grieg left the game, and picked up one more in the remaining seconds Oregon came sickeningly close to a four-man team. But the Ducks really sank in the first half. Oregon, shooting only .393 from the field, trailed Stanford by 14 points at half time. “I thought we were horrible,” said Haney of the first half. “To use more earthy terms, we had no heart, no intelligence and no intestinal fortitude.” Fear of fouls by Oregon players allowed the Cards to penetrate to the basket, Haney said. "We were passive in every thing we did. "We were concerned with not getting fouls but got ourselves into foul trouble anyway. "It gets trying being the one who learns the lesson rather than the one who gives the les son.” The loss was Oregon’s third straight, all of them conference games. Stanford improved to 1-2. The Cards were paced by Brian Welch and John Revelli with 19 points each. The Ducks were once again led by Clark with 14 points, followed by Brantley with 13. Greig led Oregon rebounders with 11. Inside the Oregon locker room, freshman guard John Cheatham mustered some quiet confidence for his team. "It’s going to start falling together soon. I’m not going to give up, and neither is anybody else on this squad.” Gustafson’s three wins lead Oregon past PSU Led by Sara Gustafson’s three individual victories and a sweep in the all-around compe tition, the improving Oregon women's gymnastics team beat Portland State University 129.5-109.15 Saturday. The victory improved the Ducks record to 1-0 in league competition and 2-0 overall, but Oregon coach Henriette Heiny wasn't satisfied with Oregon's team score. “We showed definite im provement over our last meet,'' said Heiny. “And if we go from meet to meet improving at this pace, I think we will score 140 by the end of the season.'' The Ducks, a heavy favorite over the weaker Vikings, won every event. Gustafson, a junior who competeted in last year’s AIAW nationals, captured first in the vault (9.1), balance beam (8.2), and floor exercises (8.45). Holly Homes, a freshman recovering from a preseason ankle sprain, took first place in the uneven bars (8.35), while Gustafson was third. Oregon freshman Maureen Nolan put together a second and fifth in the uneven bars and vault, along with third places in the balance beam and floor ex ercises to take second in the all-around (32.2). Gustafson scored a 33.70 to take the all-around compete tion, while Homes scored 31.75 for third place. The Ducks next action comes Saturday in a triangular dual meet against the University of Alberta and Hayward State. 412 Pearl 683-5104 / Welcomes National Headliner OIRROIL For a night of live Rock & Roll you won’t forget, Tuesday, January 13th.
