The Ducks muzzled the Fresno State Bulldogs 75-60 and slid past the University of Pacific Tigers 83-74. Oregon looks as if their once wobbly combination of youth in the back court and size up front is starting to jell. The indications of Oregon’s progress came in both games.

The Ducks kept a good leash on the Bulldogs most of the night, but it wasn't until the 17:00 mark of the first half that Oregon started to cruise. Right before the halftime buzzer, the Ducks went on an 11 point tear to go up 38-26. Against Pacific, with the Tigers double and triple teaming 6-3 center, Alison Lang, Oregon got hot from the perimeter. But what pleases coach Elwin Heiny the most about the outside shooting is that it came from the bench. Tracy Beckes, a sophomore who has played only three minutes prior to this weekend's matches, hit 7-of-8 shots, mostly from 15 feet and beyond, for a career high 14 points. "The play from the guards, especially Tracy, might awaken some of the others,” said Heiny. "That’s where I usually shoot from,” Beckes said. “I felt good tonight.” The reason Beckes has seen so little action has been disciplinary, Heiny said. The guard came into the season at a heavier weight than Heiny wanted and was subsequently benched until she lost weight. The reinstatement couldn’t have come at a better time for the Ducks. In the middle, Lang dominated the Fresno game with 31 points, 17 rebounds, nine blocked shots and four steals. Against a tall, physical Pacific team, Lang played with two or three Tigers mauling her underneath most of the night. What Lang assessed as a relatively poor personal perfor mance against the Tigers, led the Ducks. She finished with a game high 22 points while dishing off seven assists. “(The game was) tougher than usual," Lang said. “It was one of the most physical games I’ve ever played. My shooting percentage was terri ble, I was rushing my shot a lit tle. Their physicalness kind of forced that.” “It’s a hard one to lose, we played so well," said Pacific’s assistant coach, Martha Hutchinson. “We wanted to stop their in side game, we put a lot of pressure on her (Lang).” Hut chinson said. That enabled the Tigers to outrebound Oregon 51-37. “Whenever you hear about Oregon, you hear about Lang, but they went to their outside game, and they got hot." Gymnasts lose meets and mates After losing two gymnasts this week, the Oregon women’s gymnastics team lost two meets this weekend. The Ducks fell to Washington 169.1 to 64.5 Saturday after falling to Seattle Pacific Fri day 165.55 to 67.05. Maureen Nolan and Julie Tennenhouse left the team last week for personal reasons, according to coach Ed Boyd. The Ducks will com plete the remainder of their schedule with only two com petitors, Holly Holmes and Tracy Manduchl. "It was a mutual decision on both our parts.” Boyd said "There were no hard feelings." Despite the personnel loss, the Ducks competed well in their weekend meets. Manduchi made good show ings in both meets for Oregon. The junior won the floor exer cise in the Washington meet after coming back from a heel injury she suffered last week. The Huskies, led by All American gymnast Suzy Sun, dominated the entire meet. Sun won two events, the bars and the beam to take all around honors. Boyd described the Seattle Pacific meet as the "best meet of the year." Manduchi displayed the talents that have made her a two-time all American NCAA Division II gymnast, placing first in the vault and floor exercise. "I had a really good meet ex cept on bars," Manduchi said. “I rushed myself on the bars routine instead of taking my time."
