Seattle ‘scrimmages’ past Oregon, 81-79 By TAMARA SWENSON Ol th« Emerald Playing an intrasquad scrim mage is one thing, scrimmaging against a tough and determined opponent can be another. Oregon’s women’s basketball team approached Sunday’s non-counting game against the Seattle Seabaskets as a “scrim mage,” said Oregon coach El win Heiny. But Seattle doused Oregon’s hopes for victory with a last-second basket at the buzzer to win, 81-79. “We could of easily beaten them,” Heiny said. “But we were trying to prove a point — that our reserves could go in and pull it out." For most of the game, it looked like Oregon would do just that. The Ducks opened the game with two points by fresh man guard Angie Snider, who . finished the game with 14 points and nine rebounds. But Seattle grabbed the lead with two straight field goals, 14-16, five minutes into the game, playing a full-court press defense to keep the Ducks under control. With five minutes left in the half, the Seabaskets gained a seven-point lead, 30-23. Oregon, led by freshman center Allison Lang (who finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds), scored the half's final 10 points to pull ahead 33-30. Ducks help OSU vault to No. 1 Although its dual meet win ning streak was halted at six, not all was lost for the Oregon women’s gymnastics team in Friday night's 146.20-138.15 loss to Oregon State Univer sity. The Ducks came out of the Civil War at McArthur Court with a season-high team score, a career best of 34.35 from freshman Maureen Nolan in the all-around and a boost from junior Dawn Haberland, who re turned for her first meet since shoulder surgery in December. The Beavers, ranked fourth in the nation, effectively used the Ducks as a springboard to set a school record and establish the nation’s best team score this season. Oregon coach Henriette Heiny was pleased with the Ducks performance. “We beat our goal tonight and I’m very happy with that. We’ve just scratched the surface and I like our attitude, even though we were going against one of the top teams in the country.” Three reasons the Beavers are among the collegiate elite are Laurie Carter, Mary Ayotte and Pam Bond. Carter won the all-around (36.95), while Ayotte took the floor exercise (9.55) and placed second (9.25) on the balance beam behind Carter (9.6). Bond took sixth in the all-around (34.00) on the strength of win ning the uneven bars (9.45). Swimmers place first Oregon’s men’s swimming team placed first in the Dolphin Invitational held last weekend in Leighton Pool. The women’s team placed second behind San Jose Aqua tics Club, which took first place overall. Tennis team loses opener Oregon’s women's tennis team opened their 1981 season Saturday with a 6-3 loss to Oregon State University in Cor vallis. Oregon freshman Lindsay Bartlett aand Jodie Estes provided all of the Duck’s scor ing as each won her individual match and combined in doubles to beat OSU’s Deanne Larsell and Mary Ivancie. Oregon will host University of Montana Feb. 14. Economic problems kept many of last year’s participants from Northern California at home, said Oregon men’s coach Rich Schleicher. Only two came last weekend, com pared to 20 in 1980, Schleicher said. George Koch led the Ducks with wins in the 200 breast (2:13.01), 50 free (22.01), 100 breast (1:00.38) and 200 IM (1:59.55). Oregon’s Sam Glass won the 100 free (47.2) and 200 free 1:44.68, while teammate Jeff Morgan took the 200 fly (1:56.95) and 100 fly (53.12). Tama Cuddeback paced Oregon’s women's team with victories in the 100 breast (1:09.85) and 200 breast (2:27.62). Kathy Hemmer was Oregon’s only other individual winner with a 2:07.21 time in the 200 fly. 1111 H I l> CONVENIENT LOCATION IN EMU GROUND FLOOR Close to the Rec Center, $9.00 A wet cut designed for you and your hair for easy care — An economical quick stop for people short on time. $12.00 A wet cut designed for you and your hair, including air wave styling — a complete style to go anywhere. $14.00 Includes shampoo, moisturizing conditioner, hair cut designed for you, and air wave styling — a complete treatment.

Haberland took third on the balance beam (9.1) and sixth in the vault (8.75). Oregon’s next meet is Friday against Stanford in McArthur Court. Most of the second half belonged to Oregon as the Ducks slowly accumulated a 12-point lead with 1:38 left to play. Heiny then substituted the last of the Oregon bench to fin ish out the game. Unfortunately, the Duck bench couldn’t get past Seattle, allowed two three-point plays to tie the game, and turned the ball over with eight seconds left to give Seattle a chance to win. And at the buzzer, Seattle's 5-1 guard Sheila Collins put in a jumper from 20-feet out to end the game. “I have to compliment Elwin (Heiny) on giving his reserves an opportunity to play in that situation," said Seabasket coach Susan Curtin-Miller. "But we beat the University of Oregon. It was an important win for us.” Statistically the game belonged to the Ducks, who shot 50.7 percent from the floor and 68.7 percent from the line. Oregon outrebounded Seattle, 53-35, had more steals, 9-6, and blocked more shots, 9-7. Oregon’s Bev Smith finished with 18 points, while Seattle’s high scorer, Margaret Nielsen, had 20 points. “We’ve had a couple of games where we stuck the re serves in there and the score went whoosh,” said Heiny as his hand traced an imaginary ski slope. "We needed to show the re serves how important it is for them to play well,” said Heiny. "But perhaps more importantly, that we ll stick with the people we have in.” Oregon - 33-46 79 Seattle - 30-51 61 Oregon — Adams 2 4, Towriss 3 2-2 8.
