Shorthanded Ducks start up
By Doug Levy
04 ttw EmaraM
It's pretty tough to win when
your team is shorthanded — just
ask Oregon gymnastics coach
Ed Boyd
"’For the first few meets of the
season, the Ducks will have only
four gymnasts, while NCAA
rules have been changed to ac
count for the marks of five In
gymnastics, where scores of
four events (vault, uneven bars,
floor exercise and balance
beam) are totaled on a scale of 1
to 10, that means Oregon will be
giving up some 30 points a
meet
“We should be pretty weak,”
admits first-year coach Boyd
He replaces Gary Vanderhoef,
who resigned as coach last year
amid much controversy
, The trouble started when
Vanderhoef hurt his back early
in the season, leaving his wife
OSU stops
Cardinals
CORVALLIS (AP) -
Jamie Stangel and Steve
Woodside scored 14
points apiece for Oregon
State Thursday night as
the Beavers opened
defense of their Pac-10
basketball title with a
62-53 victory over Stan
ford
Stanford center John
Reveili led all scorers with
28 points and kept the
Cardinals close through
most of the contest
Sue to assume much of the
coaching load, which didn't sit
well with assistant coach Jeff
Davis. Davis quit as coach, and
Vanderhoef was not far behind
him
Boyd heard about the gym
nastics coaching opening
through a former Oregon gym
nast, and jumped on the oppor
tunity to coach in Eugene "I
plan to be here a long time,"
says the 27-year-old Boyd, who
competed at Illinois State and
coached at Illinois State and
Iowa State as an assistant.
Vanderhoef left Boyd with
some talent, but the Ducks are
simply short on numbers Jean
nette Stewart, expected to pace
the gymnasts in her senior year,
decided not to compete follow
ing knee surgery, and junior
Lynn Fenton, a pre-med
student, decided gymnastics
cut into her study time and will
not return for her junior year
That leaves Holly Holmes,
Maureen Nolan and Julie Ten
nenhouse as the only returnees
for Oregon
Holmes, a junior, boasts a
best of 9 20 on the uneven bars
and finished sixth in the Region
9 vaulting in 1980 Nolan, also a
junior, has bests of 9 25 on the
bars and 8 90 in the vault and
was Oregon’s most consistent
gymnast last year
Joining the trio will be Traci
Manduchi, a junior transfer from
Seattle Pacific who is a two-time
Division II All-American, and
Jane Patterson, a freshman
from Washington Patterson will
miss Oregon's first few meets,
as she just recently joined the
team
"We've been working really
hard,” says Nolan. ”We've had
our ups and downs, and I think
our first meet will predict our
season “
Neither Holmes nor Nolan
seems affected by last year's
rocky road (the Ducks did man
age to win eight of 15 dual
meets). “You can't dwell on the
past," says Holmes “This year
is a product of what happened
last year, but we just have to
look ahead,” says Nolan
Boyd is certainly looking
ahead. “This year we just want
to establish consistency and
show recruits that this is a good
place to come." Boyd notes that
“They (the athletic department)
have increased my scholarship
money and have really backed
me."
Oregon will compete in the
NorPac Conference, where
sixth-ranked Oregon State is the
team to beat, and the rest of the
teams will scramble for three
additional playoff berths. "I
would imagine we ll be at the
bottom of the conference," says
the realistic Boyd
But Boyd is also honest about
the future of Oregon gymnas
tics. “When the budget cut
backs were made, people did so
much yelling that they didn't see
there's still enough money Our
budget is bigger than the one I
worked with at Iowa State "
Leaning forward, Boyd says,
“Next year we re going to be
very, very competitive I already
have a lot of verbal com
mitments from girls, and I think
we can qualify for regionals next
year '
The Ducks will open their
season Saturday with the Wa
shington Open in Seattle
Diligent Ducks face Beavers
After "some long, hard
training," over the Christmas
break, the Oregon swimming
team starts a long, hard
schedule when it hosts Oregon
State Saturday at 1 p m at
Leighton Pool
The meet features both the
men's and women's competi
tion, even though the OSU
men's team is a club sport The
OSU women are a varsity squad
as are both Duck teams.
Oregon, with both the men
and women sporting 1-2 dual
meet records, did not get a
holiday break in their training In
fact, they pulled double duty
during the waning days of the
break
"We did a lot of hard train
ing,” coach Dan Cole said "We
The
Don
Latarski
Group
with special quests
trained 2V? hours in the morning
— that's one hour with weights
and 1Vi swimming — and an
other 2Vi hours in the afternoon
"It's not that we were lacking
anything, it's a matter of around
Christmas time we intensify
training, because we have more
time We re tapering off a little
now, but it's (hard training)
starting to show in our times,"
Cole said
Oregon State is the first of
several strong teams the Ducks
will meet in the latter part of their
schedule, and Cole said his
team is ready for the Beavers
"The men's team is a club
sport, but they have some
talented swimmers and the
women's team is one of the best
in the Northwest We should be
able to win against the men, but
we'd have to be really hot to
beat the women There will be
some good racing," he said
Cole cited the Beavers short
distance swimmer Becky Blink
horn and Holly Andrus, swim
ming long distance, as the two
women leaders Charlie Patton,
who swims all the freestyle
events, is the mainstay of the
men s squad, according to
Cole
After Oregon State, the Ducks
travel to Simon Fraser, Wa
shington and Puget Sound
before returning to host
Sacramento State
"We must compete from here
on in to get through our dual
meets, as well as the season
ending meets," Cole said
