Of the Emerald
CORVALLIS - Oregon
powered its way through the
semifinals to take a command
ing lead in the Pacific-10
Conference wrestling cham
pionships Sunday.
With a little help from a sur
prising Oregon State team, the
Ducks have amassed 77VS?
points. Arizona State is barely
ahead of Oregon State,
amounting 59'/2 points to OSU's
59.
The Beavers upset a couple
of top-ranked Sun Devils to
open the door for the Ducks.
"Since OSU is doing so well,
they have really helped us out,”
rasped Oregon coach Ron
Finley, his voice hoarse from
shouting. "Their kids upset a
few ASU wrestlers, which really
helped give us our big lead.”

pionship finals and three in the
consolation finals. OSU and
ASU each have five finalists.
The top two place winners in
each weight class are eligible
for the nationals and there are
10 wild card berths.
“I’m really pleased, we did
very well in just about every
weight class," Finley said. “I
figured it would take at least
seven wrestlers in the finals to
win the tournament, and we
seem to be in a pretty good
position.”
“They’re looking very good
and seem to be in an insur
mountable position," said
University of Arizona coach Bill
Nelson, after he congratulated
Finley on the tournament win.
“You guys got it,” he told Finley.

But on the way to the finals
the Ducks had some tough
times.
Bill Nugent managed tc

overtime. The two went 10-10 in

Stuebing easily downed his

pinned Gary Yarco 1:28 into the
first period.
"Cook is really fired up and
will be ready for (ASU's) Dan
Severn, who is ranked second in
the nation," said Finley. "Cook
has done wonders this year, and
even though Severn is
extremely tough, I wouldn'1
count him out.”

Lagers split L.A. games
Oregon’s men’s basketball team kept its
tenuous hopes for a winning season alive with a
81-78 win over USC Saturday, following a Friday
night 98-75 loss to UCLA.
The Ducks, now 12-13 this season and 5-11 in
the Pacific-10 Conference, have two more games
remaining, both in McArthur Court. One of the
opponents will be fifth-ranked Arizona State
University.
The final results of the Los Angeles games
were a carbon copy of what transpired a month
ago in Eugene. Although the Ducks have beaten
USC in L A. the last two seasons, it is the first time '
they’ve swept the Trojans in a season since the
Greg Ballard year of 1976-77.
Oregon had control of most of the USC game,
but still needed some timely help near the finish.
With 2:34 remaining and Oregon up 75-74, the
Ducks began a delay offense and ran the clock
down to 1:25. Fred Cofield was fouled, but missed
the one-and-one. After calling a timeout, USC
came down the court and Barry Brooks missed a
20-footer with 58 seconds left.
Moments later, John Grieg pushed in a shot
to give Oregon a 77-74 lead.
USC’s James McDonald scored with 28
seconds to go, and Cofield was fouled again.
Once more he missed the first one-and-one, but
Ron Burns swatted the ball back to him. The
Oregon guard was fouled again, and this time
sank both shots.
The Ducks sh^t .571 from the floor. John
Greig led Oregon with 22 points, followed by
Cofield (12) and Felton Sealey (10). Mike Clark
pulled down 10 rebounds.
Most of Friday’s UCLA game gave no indica
tion of what would occur the next night. Oregon
fell behind by 20 points at halftime, and it was all
downhill from there.
The Ducks managed to scratch their way
down to a 12-point deficit with seven minutes left.
But the Bruins, who shot 61 percent from the
floor, were able to hold off the charge to annex
their fourth straight win over Oregon.
The Ducks’ two seniors, Clark and Sealey,
scored 20 and 18 points, respectively. Cofield
added 14 points and Grieg 11.
