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.
