sports_ Wrestlers throw Wildcats on mat, 33-15 By MIKE RIPLINGER Of the Emerald In their second meet in two nights, members of Oregon’s wrestling team made a strong showing against the University of Arizona, throwing the Wild cats for a 32-15 loss in McArthur Court Wednesday night. Showing more aggressive ness than they showed the night before in beating Oregon State Photo by David W. Zahn Oregon's sixth-ranked wrestling team pulled off a stunning 33-15 victory over the University of Arizona Wednesday night. University, the sixth-ranked Ducks handled the Wildcats long enough to boost their sea son record to 15-1. “I thought we did a much better job than we did last night against OSU,” said coach Ron Finley. “We came out and did a lot of the things that we didn't last night. “We were aggressive all night long and came out after them Arizona was tough though, and wrestled hard ” Fourth-ranked Jeff Steubing (167) and Dan Cook (HWT) recorded pins to lead the Ducks. Steubing pinned Arizona's Greg Tanner 3-:31 into their match, while Cook stuck Wildcat Al Schmitt at the 4:18 mark Cliff Porter (134) also helped the Duck cause with a decision over Steve Rosenstein, 16-1. “Both Steubing and Cook looked good,” Finley said. “I am glad that Dan (Cook) had to wrestle for a while tonight so that he can get in a little more experience.” Cook has had a problem receiving mat time lately as he recorded his eighth pin of the season Unfortunately for Cook, as far as Finley is concerned, he has pinned most of his oppon ents in the first round — which Oregon shoots for two straight against quicksilver Trojans Oregon takes its one-game win streak into McArthur Court tonight to battle the University of Southern California in a Pacific-10 basketball en counter. The Ducks, fresh off a 70-66 triumph over Washington State University in Pullman, will have their hands full with the red-hot Trojans, winners of four of their last five games. Oregpn coach Jim Haney hopes the Ducks can use their win over the Cougars as a springboard to turn around what has thus far been a very frustrating season. “We've been struggling to learn how to win, but the Wa shington State game could be our beginning,” he says. “Yet we did the same good things against Cal (an 87-80 Oregon win) and then had our problems in the next game at Oregon State. "So the USC game is a critical one. If we can win two in a row, this is a team that could catch fire.” The Trojans, currently tied with UCLA for third in the con ference with a 5-2 mark, received a boost Monday night in a win over California when transfers Dwight Anderson and Mike Owens played for the first time this season. Anderson, a 6-3 guard who played almost two seasons with Kentucky and was on the Potestio nabs all-star spot Oregon soccer standout Michele Potestio was named second-team All-American Wednesday by the National Soccer Coaches Association. Potestio, a sophomore for ward, scored 22 goals and totaled six assists to lead Oregon’s women’s soccer team to a regional soccer champion ship. In their first year as an inter collegiate sport, the women's soccer team posted a 13-1-3 season record, 9-1-3 in confer ence play. "Potestio deserves that hon or," said Oregon coach John Feeney. "She’s got skill and game concepts that are inter national caliber. She could fit in on any international team.” Southeastern Conference all freshman team, joins one of the smallest teams in the league. USC's tallest player is 6-8 Purvis Miller. The Trojans started Miller, Barry Brooks (6-7), Maurice Williams (6-7), Jacque Hill (6-2) and James McDonald (6-6) against Califor nia, a team they edged 72-66. Anderson scored nine points and pulled down seven rebounds while playing less than a half. Haney says he might be the best athlete in the con ference, while Anderson’s coach, Stan Morrison, says he “is the most gifted player I have ever coached.” DUCK NOTES: Senior center Mike Clark continues climbing in a variety of all-time Oregon statistical categories. He is fourth in season field goal per centage (53.3) based on his 98 of 184 this year; third in career field goal percentage (48.2); 11th in career rebounds (58.2); and 17th in career scoring (912). If he continues his current scoring (15.6 per game) and rebounding pace (9.5), he will move into a tie for 10th in career scoring and rebounding.

Freshman Rick O’Shea, who won a close decision over a tough senior in Bob Moore, 15-11, had a great match, Finley said. "O'Shea came out firing right from the start He wrestled a hard eight minutes, working all the time." Randy Ohta, Oregon’s 118 pounder, wrestled a tough seven and a half minutes against nationally ranked Or lando Caceres of Arizona Ohta tired at the end of the match though and was turned over and pinned with only nine seconds remaining. “Randy did a very good job until the end of their match," said Finley "He looked good until the end when he just plain pooped out.” Wrestling results: Oregon — 33, Arizona 15 118 — Orlando Caceres (A) pinned Randy Ohta, 7:51; 126 — Miles Hancock (O) dec Ron Porter, 11-7; 134 — Cliff Porter (O) dec Steve Rosenstein, 16-1; 142 — Bill Nugent (O) dec Tim Berrier, 11-7; 150 — Tom Coffing (A) dec Nelson Imamura, 7-3; 158 — Rick O'Shea (O) dec Bob Moore, 11-5; 167 — Jeff Steubing (O) pinned Greg Tanner, 3:31; 177 — Bill Hinman (A) pinned Mike Miller, 1:11; 190 — Ryan Kelly (O) by forfeit; HWT — Dan Cook (O) pinned Al Schmitt, 4 18 Grand Canyon National Park Lodges Early Spring & Summer Full Time Opportunities We have many entry-level jobs available in our hotels and restaurants beginning at Federal minimum wage.
