Netters fall to Beavers Oregon State jumped out to a 4-2 advantage after singles play and then held on in the doubles matches to defeat Oregon, 6-3, in a women's tennis meet here Monday. Lindsay Bartlett, the Ducks’ number one singles player, downed OSU’s Shannon Miller, 7-6, 6-1, then teamed with Susan Hunt for Oregon’s only dou bles win. Being behind in team scoring after the singles matches is not an unusual posi tion for Oregon, says tennis coach Nancy Osborne. “We’re finding this season that it al ways seems to come down to the dou bles, but we're always able to pull it out. “It seems we were a little off today.” Jodie Estes, in the number-five match, was the only other Duck besides Bartlett to score a win in singles as she defeated her OSU opponent, 6-1,6-1. Osborne, who said the OSU contests are always “really close,” noted that the Ducks were hobbled by the loss of number-three player Gail Dobson, who quit the team last weekend for personal reasons. Osborne, nevertheless, was pleased with the “tough and consistent" play of Bartlett. “I just hope we can get her to nationals,” she said. The Ducks, now 10-4, will travel to Seattle April 24 and 25 for the Washing ton Invitational.

Closed Tuesdays' Greek Peasant Food, Wine—and Spirit! Crum Continued from Page 3B Krause looks more for pitchers when he recruits. It would be easy for Crum to say the Ducks should recruit more outfielders, but he defends Krause’s sys tem. “I can’t argue with the way Mel recruits. The first thing you’ve got to do is get yourself a couple of blue-chip pitchers — you build a team around pitch ing. And in the long run, good pitching will beat good hitting.’’ The rest of this year and next year will be crucial to Crum’s future. After a player’s junior year he may be drafted, so it's important to attract the scouts. "I’ll play next year (at Oregon). If things go well and I get drafted in the first few rounds, I’ll probably play in the minors. “If not, I’ll play my senior year, but right now I have to concen trate on this year and next. There’s a lot of room for im provement.” Crum has wanted to play major league ball for a long time and he feels he has the talent to make a go of it, but he is also conscious of the fact that an education is important for something to fall back on. “Even if you do play major league baseball, it’s something you can do for only 10 or 15 years at the most. “If baseball doesn’t work out, I'd like to get into advertising, management, or something bu siness related. You can’t plan on playing major league ba seball.” By Doug Levy Photo by David W.
