Scoring key for gymnasts Scoring will be the key Friday night for the Oregon women s gymnastics team as they face Oregon State University and University of California-Davis in a three-way meet at Mac Court Oregon has been scoring in the neighborhood of 130 points per meet, with a high of 132 05 against Washington, and assis tant coach Kurt Krichko is hop ing that statistic will increase soon "Before the season, we were expecting big scores right away," explains Krichko of the Ducks disappointing early-sea son scores, * and it didn't hap pen But I think that each meet is going to build, and our scores will improve " The scores will have to im prove if Oregon has any shot of gaining an at-large NCAA berth, an outside goal set by head coach Gary Vanderhoef before the season Ten teams qualify for the NCAA's from six regions — the six winners gaining au tomatic berths and the remain ing four berths decided by the highest meet scores from teams across the nation, Krichko figures it will take scores in the low 140's to qualify. No matter how many points the Ducks score, it may not be enough on Friday night. Second-ranked Oregon State is the meet favorite, and UC-Davis was the 1980 Division III nation al champion OSU, holder of the nation's best dual-meet score this year, 144 90 points, would probably be ranked first were it not for the fact that last year’s champion, Utah, has not had a meet yet. As far as Oregon’s chances, Krichko is optimistic. "We have the tricks, but it's our showmanship and execution that must come out,” he says. 'We re looking for individual performances from each gym nast, and then the scores will come " Oregon should have ever yone healthy for the meet, which has not occurred often this year. Jeannette Stewart is over early season knee problems, and Maureen Nolan has recovered well from her knee problems of a year ago "She has been our bright spot,” says Krichko of Nolan Scheduled starting time for the meet is 7 p.m. jyj Continued from Page 10 scoring (17 3) and second on the team in rebounding (7 1) Added to these injuries is a nagging case of the flu that has plagued the team over past weeks, and a foot injury to backup center Jerry Adams that is still not 100 percent So what could be possibly worse for the Ducks'7 They have to face two of the hottest teams in the conference this weekend USC (6-1 in the Pac-10, 12-4 overall) has won six a row since losing its conference opener to Washington in overtime Leading the way for the Trojans is 6-3 guard Dwight An derson, who is 2nd in the Pac-10 in scoring, averaging 21.5 points Teammate Maurice Wil liams (15 1 points per game) is also among the conference's scoring leaders, while freshmen Ken Johnson and Wayne Car lander are combining for 14 6 rebounds per game Johnson and Carlander are tough on the boards, but they aren't looked on to score a lot,” Haney says "Anderson is capable of beating us by him self, but because of his aggres siveness, he's capable of help ing us by being out of control sometimes ” Haney describes Saturday night's opponent, UCLA (4-3, 10-5), as the most talented team in the conference, though he says the Bruins are still in a transition stage under first-year coach Larry Farmer. After losing its first three con ference games, UCLA has bounced back to win its last four Mike Sanders leads the Bruins in scoring (14 7), and his partner at forward, Kenny Fields, was recently named the Pac-10 Player-of-the-Week. Fields scored 18 against Stan ford last Friday, and a career high 27 against California the next night.
