sports Gymnasts double efforts, fly past Stanford By TERRY RHOADS Of the Emerald Double trouble emerged for Stanford University’s men's and women’s gymnastics teams Friday as Oregon swept a co-ed dual gymastics meet in McArth ur Court. The Oregon men, ranked fourth nationally, cruised by the Cardinals 274.60-251.55, while the women upset their 17th-ranked Stanford counter parts 137.5-136.05. The win improves the men’s season record to 4-1, while the women are now 7-1 and knock ing on the door for a top 20 national ranking. ’’We’re pleased to defeat an other nationally ranked team,” said Oregon women’s coach Henriette Heiny, whose team knocked off 20th-ranked Minnesota two weeks ago. "This win should help us get into the rankings." Leading the way for the women was freshman Maureen Nolan, who took second in the all-around with a season best 34.20. Junior Sara Gustafson scored 33.95 for fourth place. Stanford was almost a one woman team as freshman Mer ilyn Chapman, a U S. national team member and elite gym nast, captured first in every event and won the all-around, scoring 36.55. Teammates Anne Smith and Julie Bledsoe sandwiched themselves between the Ducks’ top two all arounders for third and fifth place. But the meet outcome came down to one event — the uneven bars.

Following Holmes was Nolan (8.7), Jean ette Stewart (8.4), Chris Krueger (8.25), and Sara Gustafson (8.2). "Maureen Nolan and Jean ette Stewart had excellent meets,’’ said Heiny, "and in general we showed im provement over most of our meets this season." For the highly favored Oregon men, the win over the 20th-ranked Cardinals was far from being a lackluster perfor mance. “We’ve been working pretty hard, and it’s about time we looked like we did tonight,” said men’s coach Bill Ballester. “High bars is the only place we really could have improved to night.” A big plus for the Ducks, who captured first and second place in all six events, came from freshman Johny Moyal, who took all-around honors with a personal best of 55.85. Moyal won the parallel bars (9.15) and was second on three events.

Women down Grizzlies, 94-55 Oregon’s women’s basketball team ended its Montana road trip on a positive note, earning a lopsided 94-55 victory over Montana State University in Bozeman Saturday. Only the pre-game score was close, as Allison Towriss started Oregon’s scoring in motion by hitting six of the Ducks first ten points. The score was 18-2 before the Grizzlies got another chance on the boards. At the half, the Ducks were up by 30 points, 43-13, and contin ued to add to the margin in the second half. The victory over MSU also afforded the Ducks their second opportunity in seven games against a 2-3 zone Both Mon tana universities use the zone defense. "We moved the ball well against the zone,” said Oregon coach Elwin Heiny. "We were better prepared for it tonight since it was identical to Mis soula’s.” While the win over the Grizz-' lies was lopsided, it wasn't because MSU was that bad, Heiny said. “We went in wanting to play a good game.” The Ducks succeeded, put ting 10 of 12 players in the scoring column. Allison Lang and Debbie Adams shared high point honors with 17 apiece. Bev Smith added 14, Diane Heimstra put in 11 while Towriss contributed 10. Towriss also had a good night on defense, holding MSU’s Vicki Heebner, who scored 24 points against Oregon State -"i yv<A^s Y available for academic year 1981-1982.
