sports_ Grapplers slip past Washington State By Cap! Lynn Or the Emu-aid After losing three straight dual matches, Oregon’s wrestl ing team found itself victorious as it narrowly defeated Washington State University, 22-20, Monday night in McAr thur Court. The Ducks improved their dual record to 8-9, and the win made it 16 straight victories over the Cougars since 1970. “This was a good win for us, and we needed it bad,” Oregon coach Ron Finley said. “We had some good efforts out there, and it was a definite improvement.” Although the Ducks recorded the win, the dual went down to the final two matches of the evening when Oregon was holding a precarious lead. With the Ducks holding a 20-15 advantage, Oregon need ed to stay away from any kind of Cougar big point scores (a pin or a technical fall) in the last two matches. The Ducks did that and more as 190-pounder ]ames Terry got a draw in his match Oregon's Vince Hochanadel (right) goes for the takedown against Washington State's Bobby Freund.

Terry's draw with WSU’s Steve Porter proved to be the key match of the evening. The junior from Redmond broke his nose only 10 seconds into the first period, but finished the match to get the tie. “Terry stayed in there and came from behind twice,” Finley said of the draw, which put Oregon ahead, 22-17. “I was pleased with his team effort.” Terry fell behind 6-1 after the first period but battled back to within one after the second round. With the score at 6-5, Porter jumped out to score five straight points. With 1:01 re maining in the match, Terry scored a reversal, received two penalty points and scored a two-point near-fall to force the tie at 11-11. “Basically 1 didn't want to lose,” said Terry of his come back.

This heavyweight bout matched the 345-pound Ellis against 285-pound Smetana, nicknamed “the giant” by Finley. “Drew wrestled real smart and kept the score down,” said Finley of the junior's second ap pearance on the wrestling mat for the Ducks. Oregon opened the match with a 9-0 lead after the first two bouts. Roberto Pelayo won by forfeit at 118 pounds, while Glenn jarrett decisioned the Cougars’ Eric Powers, 4-3, in the 126-pound weight class. “Glenn did a great job out there,” said Finley of his freshman grappler, who extend ed his season record to 20-14.

Beutler decisioned Gary Nikiason, 13-5 and im proved his overall record to 13-11 this season. “Keith did a dam good job beating a dangerous wrestler,” Finley said. “Nikiason likes to throw wrestlers, and Keith didn’t let him get any on him.” “I felt pretty good tonight and I wasn’t tired,” said Beutler, who has been battling the flu. “1 was watching for his head and arm, and fconcentrated mote on the leg attack.” At 177 pounds, the Ducks’ Mike Harter decisioned Cougar Mike Sudduth, 8-4, to increase Oregon’s lead to 20-15 with on ly two matches remaining.
