Rutherford plans to play a
zone defense against Oregon,
to counter the Ducks height ad
vantage Missouri starts only
two players who top out at six
feet, Ferret and Jonie Davis
(6-0), But despite their lack of
size, they play a deliberate of
fense that works the ball inside
Oregon hopes to use its own
size to overpower the Tigers
inside
They have a weakness
defending teams inside and we
hope to take advantage of that,”
said Bland "They also seem to
be susceptible to pressure, so
we will probably try to apply that
as much as possible.”
The Ducks appear to be
peaking at just the right time
after their wins over the Univer
sity of Montana and Montana
State last week, and in beating
the world-ranked Republic of
Korea two weeks ago
We have been playing in

The girls have committed themselves to going all out for this meet We want to score in the
140* he said
In an effort to speed up the meet the NCAA has paired up the performers from Oregon and
Washington and the gymnasts trom Oregon State and Utah So in essence the Oregon
gymnasts will be competing only against the Huskies but the overall scores will be computed
on a first second third and fourth place basis By pairing up the teams the NCAA has made
the meet a one-day meet instead of the original two-day formal
First place in regionals should be a battle between ist-ranked Utah and 2nd-ranked OSU.
both of whom have been scoring in the high 140 s this season Utah recently scored 149 65
points m a three-way meet with OSU and Oklahoma State and the Utes boast tour 1980

champ) and treshman sensation Jayne Weinstein from Eugene who Vanderhoef predicts will
win the NCAA bars title
Meanwhile Ihe Ducks will battle with Washington tor third place Vanderhoef concedes
that it will take a super effort tor Oregon which averaged 136 points a meet to defeat the
Huskies who averaged 139 If we hit everything and that means no falls or mistakes we can
hit 143 but if they hit everything they can hit 144 so we II have to have a very good meet
Vanderhoef says

Every player has shown im
proved performances so we feel
ready for the playoffs,” Bland
said
“This team is experienced in
the playoffs, so it isn't going to
be something new The players
have each matured a lot this
season. They knoWthe roles
they are supposed to play and
the limits they can reach. They
are very confident within their
roles, and it shows
“I think the best thing about
this team is their ability to come
back It really shows that they
are confident in their play,
because no matter how far they
fall behind, they always
comeback That will really help
them in the NCAA’s because
with that kind of attitude, they
don't feel that anyone can beat
them “
Oregon will be further helped
by the rehabiliation of Chris
Metzger, a starter earlier this
season who has been out with a
foot injury.
"With Chris healthy it really
adds a lot to our team. She is
strong on the boards and that
really helps. Especially against
a team like Missouri where we
will be trying to take advantage
of that,” said Bland
Saturday night will see Bev
Smith’s last game in Eugene, as
the all-American finishes out
her performances at Mac Court.
"It's hard for Bev to get up any
more for a game, since she
plays everyone like it’s her last.
But I'm sure she'll want to end
with a win. She wants to finish
strong and keep going on in the
tournament," Bland said.
"But first we have to get past
Missouri I’m sure if Bev can
play any better than she has in
the past, she'll show it Saturday
night."
