sports Huskies put bite on Ducks Monson suffers worst loss as Oregon coach, 88-62 By Allan Lazo Of the Emerald SEATTLE — By the time the first minute of the game had transpired in Hec Edmundson Pavilion, the Oregon men’s basketball team knew that it was going to be one of those days. The University of Washington controlled the opening tip-off, and after the Huskies missed their first shot attempt, Oregon s Anthony Taylor proceeded to turn the ball over on a pass to freshman guard Rick Osborn, who wasn’t look ing, as the bounce pass dribbled past him out of bounds. In the end, the ball game dribbled past the Ducks, as the Huskies rolled up a 26-point win, 88-62, Saturday afternoon. Taylor’s pass was 30 seconds into the game, but 30 seconds later, the Ducks only offensive bright spot of the day — Greg Trapp began a show — a one-man show. Trapp slammed home a lob pass from Taylor, as the senior scored the first of 29-points in career-high performance. But Trapp didn’t receive any support, as the Ducks suffered their fourth Pacific-10 Conference loss, dropping them to 1-4 in league and 8-10 overall. “That was, obviously, a good old-fashionied whipping,” said Oregon coach Don Monson on a day when the 4-1 Huskies, 11-4 overall, looked unstoppable. “Washington is a very good basket ball team. I thought they were extremely good, and they posed a lot of problems for us,” Monson said. “We couldn't get any breaks early, and then it just mushroomed on us. ” — Don Monson “We couldn’t get any breaks early, and then it just mushroomed on us.” Early in the game was the only time the Ducks got any breaks — they managed to grab an 11-8 lead after the first six minutes. Then UW’s All-America candidate Detlef Schrempf, who led the Huskies with 22 points, six assists and eight rebounds, began conducting a clinic on the Ducks’ defense. Behind Schrempf’s 15 first half points, Washington outscored Oregon 21-10 in the next stretch to take a 33-21 advantage after 20 minutes of play. Oregon’s 7-foot center Blair Rasmussen had been effectively neutralized by a UW zone defense. The Huskies went to the zone about four minutes into the game because UW’s big man, 7-foot sophomore Christian Welp, picked up two fouls early. With Washington’s zone sagging two or three defenders on Rasmussen, the senior center managed zero for five shooting and no points in the first half. As a team, the Ducks shot a dismal 35.7 percent from the field (10 of 28) and finishing the game shooting only 40.6 percent. “They gave Blair a hard time because every time he got the ball, they sagged in and put two men on him,” said Trapp, who scored 15 straight points for the Ducks from 6:18 of the first half to 16:06 of the second. “And they kind of shut him down.” “They were sagging off of me and the guards, so I was trying to put some offensive points on the board,” added Trapp, who shot 13 of 21 from the field, three of three from the free-throw line and pulled down nine rebounds in posting the Ducks’ best individual scoring performance for the season. In the second half, Oregon was never closer than 11 points — the best the Ducks could do was match UW point for point, even though the Huskies scored seven straight points in one stretch. Taylor had the second highest point total for Oregon with eight. Rasmussen finished with five points and nine rebounds before fouling out with 8:45 left in the game. Saturday in Seattle, the Huskies’ guns were just too many for the Ducks to contain, as four Washington players scored in double figures: Schrempf with 22; Paul Fortier had 13; Clay Damon and Shag Williams added 12 apiece. When the Huskies couldn’t work inside, Damon was hitting long-range bombs from the perimeter. When the Ducks covered that, Washington’s front line was having a field day inside. “They were very obviously a better baketball team than we were today,” said Monson. “And if we could have played them as well after the first ten minutes, then we would have been . . .said Monson, his sentence cut short, forgetting Satur day’s performance and thinking ahead to the UW Oregon rematch scheduled for Feb. 14 in McAr thur Court. 3 i wmm, m at Photo by Chuck Thompson Oregon’s Blair Rasmussen (40) goes for the block shot against the University of Washington's Detlef Schrempf, while the Ducks ’ Greg Trapp (44) tries to help.

Washington's fire-breathing Godzilla (Welp), along with West German counterpart Detlef Schrempf and forward Paul For tier have been the Huskies’ bread and butter this season. The trio has led UW to a 4-1 conference record, and most recently, an 88-62 drubbing of Oregon. Oregon’s Rasmussen found how tough the Huskies could be after being held to five points and ending the battle on the bench after picking up his fifth foul with 8:45 left in the game. The Huskies’ only league loss came at the hands of the Oregon State Beavers, but the Huskies’ have demolished their last three Pac-10 opponents by a total of 60 points, i “I think we still have a lot of work to do but the intensity was there in the three games. It is a good sign for us,” said Welp after the whipping of the Ducks. ‘i think that we finally got it together. Hopefully, we can keep it like that,” added Schrernpf, who leads the team in scoring with 16.6 p* ts. Oregon found out there wasn’t much room left with Godzilla and company controll ing Tokyo like they did on Saturday.
