Men swept again Worst year since 72 ends An absolutely miserable season finally came to an end over the weekend The Oregon men's basketball team came out on the losing end of games with Arizona State and Arizona, losing twice by 18-point margins, 80-62 to ASU Friday and to the Wildcats Saturday 96-78 The loss closed out a frustrating season in which the Ducks lost 14 of their last 16 games and went 9-18 (4-14 in the Pacific 10 Conference) for the season It's the worst season in a decade for the Ducks, since the 1971-72 record of 6-20 It's also the worst season in Jim Haney's tenure at the Duck helm It was a season that saw Oregon show early signs of improvement over last year — finishing second to Idaho in the Portland’s Far West Bas ketball Classic in December — only to fall flat on its face after winning its first two confer ence games against the two Arizona schools in McArthur Court The two Southwestern schools had little compassion for the hapless Ducks, who had beaten them to start off the Pac-10 season Actually, Oregon could have won either game if they had played like they wanted to Duck coach Jim Haney benched junior forward Je rome Williams for much of the two-day road trip for disciplin ary reasons and guard Paul Bain lost playing time to freshman Bryan Trendell as Haney experimented with dif ferent player combinations Nothing helped the Ducks, however, who played as inconsistently as they had all season Oregon kept the score close despite poor first halves in each of the two games, but could not hold on in the end, giving their opponents the opportunity to build insurmounta ble leads late in the second half of each ball game Graduating senior John Greig ended his career with the Ducks by scoring 36 points tor the weekend Greig amassed 429 points for the season and 909 tor his three-year career, making him 18th on the all-time Oregon scoring list Greig closed out his career with the best career field goal efficiency in the history of the school It was also a good weekend for guard Fred Cofield The sophomore had an especially productive game against Arizona, going to the hoop for 27 points (11 -for-19 from the field and 5-for-6 from the line) But for the most part, the Ducks were left to search for answers to a season that has been disheartening to the players and fans alike Mental mistakes, uninspired play and an overall attitude of being afraid to lose" began to surface at the beginning of the Ducks' losing streak But at the end of the season, those problems seemed to be especially prominent Now, Oregon faces the task of reversing its losing trend, and next year returning a sense of pride to the program Photo by Bob Bakar John Greig sportfolio LOS ANQELES — The University of Oregon man's swim team timed personal and season best events although they finished in last place at the Pac-10 Swimming and Diving championships m Los Angeles this weekend Stanford won the event with 426 points, besting UCLA which had 415 Oregon was eighth, and last with 38 The Ducks received personal bests from Jeff Morgan in the 500-yards freestyle (4 40 54) and 200-yards butterfly (1 51 90), Erik Hughes in the 200-yards individual medley (1 57 48) and 400-yards individual medley (4 10 93) Jeff Zeller in the 500-yards freestyle (4 41 51). and Jamie Dull in the 100-yards freestyle (48 04) The 800-yards freestyle relay team of Morgan.

(AP) - North Carolina. DePaul, Virginia and Georgetown were made the top seeds in the all lour regions of the NCAA basketball tournament, announced Sunday as "the deepest and strongest field we ve had In many years I MSU surprises Ducks; west regionals up next The Oregon women’s gymnastics team had one of their worst outings of the season as they suffered a disappointing 131.90-128.50 loss at the hands of Montana State last Friday. The Ducks, who had been averaging 136-138 points a meet, could not manage any firsts against the Bobcats. MSU’s Barbie Baker took firsts on the balance beam (8 45) and the floor (8 90) on her way to first place in the all-around (33 80). Leading the way for Oregon was Maureen Nolan, who took seconds on the uneven bars (8.30) and the beam (8.05). Pacing the Ducks in the all-around was Sara Gustafson, who finished second with a 33.40 mark. The loss gave Oregon a 2-3 dual meet record for the season as they head into the western regionals March 12-13 in Corvallis. Oregon’s region is one of the toughest in the country, with top-ranked Utah, 2nd-ranked Oregon State and a solid Washington squad standing in their way. The Ducks’ goal is to top 140 points, which would be a school record A key factor for Oregon if they hope to do well is freshman Julie Tennenhouse, who coach Gary Vanderhoef says, “has really come on in the last month.” eeesssssssssssssssssssftssssssi For a Clean Time WESTOWNE LAUNDRY! • Triple Load • Double Load • Extracter * * A Time and Money Saver ; j Hours: 6 am-12 am 10th & Garfield fEE-EEE| CHINA BLUE RESTAURANT Now serving LUNCH Monday thru Friday 11-4 SOUP & SALADS Salad served with your choice of Oil & Vinegar, Blue Cheese, Thousand Island or French Dressing 1.
