They are the Seattle University Chieftains, 21-4, who make a stop at McArthur Court tonight to take on Oregon's 12th-ranked women's bas ketball team, 20-5. Seattle has dropped from Division I to Division II, but is virtually the same team the Ducks faced last year, says Oregon coach Elwin Heiny. “They have just about everybody back,” says Heiny. "They have beaten almost everybody in our league with the exception of us and Oregon State.” Seattle’s top two players are senior center Sue Turina and junior guard Sue Stimac. Stimac comes into the contest with a 18-point average while Turina tosses in 17 a game. ‘‘I expect a pretty close game,” says Oregon’s Bev Smith. “Last year we beat them by 10 up there and by 30 down here. But they are a much-improved team this year and we will have to play very good to beat them.” The Chieftains defeated Arizona State 77-62, while ASU downed Oregon by one point earlier in the season. Saturday the Ducks will tangle with the Washington Huskies, 18-7. Oregon has beaten Washington once this season, 99-70, but Heiny says that this time it could be closer. Smith continues to lead the Ducks in both scoring and rebounding. She is pouring through 19.2 points per outing while hauling down 11.6 boards a game. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m. tonight against Seattle and for 2 p.m. Saturday against Washing ton. Cagers search for L.A. wins After a hard-fought 75-69 win over Oregon last January, UCLA coach Larry Brown said, "I think the Oregon program of the fu ture will be the one that could give UCLA the most trouble.” At that time, the Duck men’s basketball team was looking pretty good. Just two nights before, it had posted its most impressive win of the year — a 74-67 win over USC. The Trojans will be given a chance to avenge that loss Saturday night in Los Angeles. The Ducks will meet the Bruins lomgnr ai rauiey ravmun. As for Brown’s comments — the future may be one thing, but the present is quite another. Oregon’s fortunes haven’t ex actly skyrocketed since that im pressive weekend in Mac Court. The team's record since then has been 1-3, including a last minute 70-68 loss to University of Washington last Saturday. On the other hand, the L A. schools are trying to regain their sunny composure after one loss apiece to the Bay Area schools. UCLA’s loss destroyed any outside chance it might have had of dethroning Oregon State and regaining it’s traditional domination of the conference. Oregon, record-wise, is look ing for a minor miracle in its last four games to pull out a winning season. The Ducks are now 11-12, and will face the Arizona schools in Eugene after the Los Angeles trip. Gym squads compete Oregon’s fifth-ranked men's gymnastics team will meet un defeated and ninth-ranked Cal State Fullerton in a high powered contest tonight at 8 in McArthur Court. The meet takes on special significance because the loser might be eliminated from the NCAA meet in April. The NCAA will select “two, or possibly three teams from the West, but more likely two,” says Duck coach Bill Ballester. UCLA is a shoe-in for one spot, and that leaves Oregon, sixth-ranked Arizona State and Fullerton's Titans to battle it out for the remaining spot Oregon’s women’s team takes on some of the top teams in the nation in the two-day Shanico Invitational, held in Corvallis. Beset by injuries during last week's meet, the Ducks com pete against six other teams in Gill Coliseum beginning at 7:30 tonight. Third-ranked UCLA tops the Shanico field, which includes sixth-ranked Oregon State, Louisiana State (seventh), Brigham Young (11th), Nebras ka (20th) and Washington.
