Sports_ Stanford shoots down Ducks By John Healy Of tha Emerald The question Saturday night at McArthur Court was of the 'What came first, the chicken or the egg?” variety Was Stanford that good on offense? Or was Oregon that bad on defense? And did Stanford's ' good ness” cause Oregon’s "bad ness”, or did the Duck's inept ness leave the door open for Stanford's to offer the 5,960 assembled at Mac Court a graduate seminar in basketball offense? Oregon forward Jerry Adams dropped his vote in the latter category after watching Stan ford dismantle the Ducks 80-74 "It was a case of our not playing well,” observed Adams. Jim Haney, Oregon's coach, agreed "It was at the defensive end of the court where we lost," said Haney, whose Ducks had been ranked second nationally in defense after giving up just 50 points per game before the Pac-10 season opened this weekend. “We didn’t complete any of our defensive concepts.

(Between Duffy’s and the Li of O bookstore) We were very one-dimensional tonight." So was Stanford's offense, as the box score proved The Cardinal’s gave a clinic on why the two-foot bankshot and the one-foot jumper will almost al ways be a better percentage shot than the free throw line jumper Just check Stanford's per centages from the field and the charity line. They were .769 and .741, respectively. The Cardinal's toyed early on with the idea of having a perfect night from the field, as they built a 16-4 lead with on the strength of a six-for-six field goal streak. They missed their first field goal with 13:44 left in the first half, but wouldn't you know that Stanford forward David Nuss baum was there to tip in the rebound Stanford posted its largest lead of the night at 20-4, and by then, Mac Court's legions were wondering aloud if Oregon would ever break the Cards full court press or give Stanford anything other than a layin. The Ducks cut Stanford's lead to 10 at 34-24 with 5:30 left in the first half, thanks to the efforts of guard Gary Gatewood — who finished the night with a career-high 23 points — but that was as close as Oregon could claw back until forward David Brantley’s seven-foot jump shot managed to elude Stanford center John Revelli for a second half field goal. Revelli couldn't elude Brant ley at the end of the play, though, and the Oregon junior canned the free throw to cut Stanford's lead to 63-60 with 7:36 remaining But back came Revelli, as he put in a layin at the other end of the court — he finished the night with 20 points — and after Paul Bain missed a 15-foot jumper from the baseline for Oregon, Stanford guard Keith Jones drove down the middle of the key for a layin Jones' drive effectively snuffed Oregon’s hopes of Stafford forward Hans Wichary rejects Gary Gatewood’s attempted shot in Saturday's Pac-10 contest at McArthur Court Just like Wichary, the Cardinal came out on top, 80-74 repeating Thursday night’s come-from-behind 69-67 win over California "We never made it difficult for them as far as putting them in a tight position,” said Haney, whose team fell to 1-1 in the Pac 10 and 5-6 overall "The team defensive concept that we were doing earlier, we aren't execut ing now "You have to assume when EMU Check Cashing Information The F.rb Memorial Union Main Desk Store cashes checks as a service for students, faculty and staff of the University of Oregon.
