Ducks gun for road wins
By John Healy
Of the Emerald
Oregon basketball coach Jim
Haney hopes his Ducks won't
be too ''philanthropic" this
weekend when the Ducks em
bark on their second road trip of
the season, this one a two-game
swing along the East Coast
In Haney's estimation, the
Ducks gave away a win in their
last road game, a 46-44 over
time loss against the University
of California-lrvine
“We are going to have to quit
being so philanthropic if we are
going to have any success on
our trip back East to Richmond
and Rutgers," says Haney, who
has a chemical engineering de
gree from the University of
Pennsylvania
Richmond is 2-1 and Rutgers
2-0 this year The Spiders
clipped Oregon 65-64 in
Eugene last year on the way to
an 18-10 season mark, while
Rutgers went to the National
Invitational Tournament and
finished the year with a 20-10
season record
"Both schools have excellent
basketball teams," says Haney
"We have to play hard and ex
ecute, and we need to come
home with a victory or two "
Richmond, Oregon's oppon
ent Saturday night, returns two
players from last year's club
Bryan Trended
Their front line measures 6-9,
6-7 and 6-9, but it has been the
play of guards Tom Bethea (6-3)
and Kelvin Johnson (6-2) that
has spurred the Spiders The
pair combined for 39 points in a
68-61 win over Radford
Four 30-game starters return
from last year's Rutgers team,
including senior 6-7 forward
Clarence Tillman, who notched
17 points and 10 rebounds for
the Scarlet Knights in a season
opening win over Farleigh Dick
inson The Scarlet Knights
depend more on speed than
size — their front line goes 6-6.
6-7, 6-9 — as their 88-70 win
over Farleigh Dickinson attests
to
The Scarlet Knights are
similiar to Cal-lrvine in the way
they push the ball up the court,
according to Haney But the
Ducks will try to slow down the
game Monday night, which they
did successfully against Cal-lr
vine
Haney will counter Saturday
and Monday with the same line
up he started in Oregon's first
two counting games — so
phomore 7-0 center Blair Ras
mussen (8 0 points, 4 0
rebounds per game), senior 6-6
forward David Brantley (15 0,
8 0). sophomore 6-7 forward
Mike Matheson (2.5, 1 5), junior
6-3 guard Gary Gatewood (6 0,
2 0, 5 0 assists), and junior 6-3
guard Greg Bell (10, 15. 4 0
assists).
However, Matheson may be
spelled by 6-8 sophomore Jerry
Adams (4 5, 4.5), who played 23
minutes against Cal-lrvine and
responded with seven points
and seven rebounds
Another Duck who will see a
lot of playing time is 6-6 so
phomore swingman Bryan
Trendell, who is averaging 10
points a game on the strength of
his perimeter shooting

Second-year coach
Dan Cole calls the meet a
good one, but left the
question of the Ducks'
strength up in the air
“After some good hard
training this will give us a
chance to see where we

petition and we ll be look
ing for some fine perfor
