Oregon seeks pitching Coach Mel Krause hopes his pitching staff can complement his hitters when Oregon hosts Oregon College of Education for a 3 p.m. game at Howe Field today. "Our pitchers are getting the ball up, and you just can't do that,” says Krause. Dean Hummel (0-3) will get the nod to end Oregon’s pitch ing woes against OCE. Krause is looking for a tough three in nings from Hummel, while two other pitchers will divide the remaining six innings. Oregon State was the latest team to take advantage of the Ducks' less-than-efficient moundmen. Oregon was unable to protect leads in both ends of a Saturday doubleheader and eventually absorbed 7-3 and 7-5 losses. Particularly disturbing to Krause was the inability of relief ace Jim Givens to snuff out Beaver rallies. “Givens has been in a slump,” says Krause. “He's mentally fighting it out — trying too hard. I think he’s trying to aim the ball." Oregon’s team earned run average now stands at a lofty 5.13, but the team’s .292 hitting should be enough to subdue the Wolves, who sport a losing record But hitting might not be en ough Friday when the Ducks travel to Seattle to face a heavy-hitting Washington squad. The Huskies are hitting over .300 as a team, and out fielder Jeb Best is still hitting over .500 at the season’s halfway point. Dean Kegler will get the un enviable task of shutting down the Huskies. The senior right hander has won his last three starts to post a 5-2 record to go with a 3.74 ERA. v However, Washington will also be hard-pressed to stem Oregon’s hitting attack. Steve Crum continues to lead Oregon hitters with a .412 average, seven home runs and 19 runs batted in. He has also drawn 23 walks in 21 games. James Nutt's .396 mark backs Crum, and Randy Porter is hitting .360. The Ducks will be seeking to improve their 12-9 record against OCE, and they put a 1-4 Northern Division record on the line in the four-game series against Washington. Oregon's scheduled game with the University of Portland Tuesday was rained out and will not be rescheduled. Monday’s deadlocked 9-9 game with Willamette will not be replayed. By Doug Levy BOSTON (AP) - Two foul shots just before the end of the fourth quarter were just enough to give the Philadelphia 76ers a 105-104 victory over the Boston Celtics Tuesday night. Reserve guard Andrew Toney scored 11 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, including the winning free throws with two seconds left, to lead the 76ers in the opener of their National Basketball Association Eastern Conference playoff. Boston rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit and took a 104-103 lead on two free throws by Larry Bird with four seconds to go. But after a timeout, the 76ers inbounded the ball from midcourt to Toney, who was fouled as he drove the right baseline.
