Trailing 42-29 at halftime, the Bruins took advantage of 15 Oregon turnovers in the second half to rally for their fifth Open 24 Hours kinko's Great copies Great people 860 E 1 3th 344 7894 Mon. • Fri. 8:30 • 8:00pm 519 E. 13th 485-1940 VCAUl Something to 1 L/ll A* Shout About! •I* OFF LARGE PIZZA TRACK TOWN PIZZA 484*2799 • 1809 Franklin Blvd. IN» W1»» M| MiMr after Ofter umi 1/})/!)

UCLA improved its record to 4-1 in the Pac-10 and 10-4 overall. The Ducks committed 23 tur novers on the night, while the Bruins committed only 11 — a key statistic and factor in the game. Oregon had the opportunity to tie the game with 25 seconds remaining in the contest, hut Ixiuri 1-anderholm’s shot was blocked by UCLA’s Sue Mead, who held onto the ball, forcing the Ducks to foul. Mead, a 55-percent foul shooter, hit both free throws to seal the victory for the hosts and cap off a career-high 14 points. UCLA was extremely proficient from the charity stripe down the stretch, hitting eight of eight. The Bruins’ )aime Brown led all scorers with 24 points, while the teams' leading scorer Dora Dome (17.8 a game) was held to 12 for the night. The Ducks failed to get the usual production from seniors Landerholm and Gabi Neumann. landerholm scored only nine points, snapping a string of 26 straight games in double figures, and Neumann was held to a season-low five points. Point guard Carol Drouet picked up some of the slack, scoring 14 points on seven of 10 from the field. Stephanie Kasperski hit six of six from the floor to chip in 12 points as the Ducks dropped to 4-1 and 10-3. Oregon clearly held the ad vantage in the shooting percen tage category, making 52.4 per cent of its shots, while UCLA managed to hit just 39 percent from the field. The Bruins edged the Ducks on the rebounding end. 40-39. Heiny noted after the game that turnovers and a lack of re bounding were the keys in the game. “The main thing for us now is to snap back and play to our maximum against IJSC (Satur day),” Heiny said. “With the strength of the conference, the teams that can win on the road will 1m? the ones on top." Bruins come back, win 64-59 uy \.dpi Lynn Of the Kmrrald The Oregon men's basketball team failed to make a field goal in the final six and a half minutes as the UCLA Bruins stormed out to claim a 64-59 come-from-behind Pacific-10 Conference victory Thursday in Pauley Pavilion. "The kids played hard and played well... I feel we oulplayed (UCLA) and that we should have won,” said a frustrated Oregon coach Don Monson following the game. “We just didn’t get the right things done at the right time.” The Ducks completely dominated the first half of play, stretching their lead to as many as 13 points when they outscored the Bruins 8-0 in a 2:28 span. Oregon controlled the hall ef ficiently. hitting 57 percent of its shots (16 of 28) and commit ting only three turnovers. nut the second half was an entirely different story. The Bruins outscored the visiting Ducks 32-18 in the se cond stanza after facing a 41-32 halftime deficit. The Ducks were cold from the floor, making only six of 24 (25 percent), while UCLA heated up for a 52-percent second-half effort. Oregon also committed nine turnovers and could manage to put only four points on the scoreboard in the final 6:32 of the game. The Ducks were propelled of fensively by the two-man show of Taylor and center Sven Meyer. Taylor finished the game with 24 points on 10 of 19 from the field, while Meyer hit seven of 16 field goals and a perfect seven of seven from the charitv stripe to add 21 points. Both Taylor and Meyer had big first halfs, scoring 16 and 15 points, respectively. We were scoring pretty much at will in the first half," Monson said. "(The Bruins) had to tighten up, and they did.” UCLA guard Pooh Richard son, a spark in the Bruins’ com eback surge down the stretch, finished the game with a season-high 19 points on eight of nine from the field. Reserve guard Montel Hat cher added 15 points in the vic tory and senior guard Reggie Miller chipped in 11. The loss dropped the Ducks to 2-3 in the Pac-10 and 8-7 overall, while UCLA improved to 5-2 and 10-4 with its seventh straight win. Oregon will continue to search for its first conference road victory when it confronts the University of Southern California Saturday night to complete its Los Angeles road trip. Matmen return for dual meet, ready to fight OSU in Civil War By Ron Gullberg Of the hmerald After a grueling, two-week cross-country trek that included four stops in California and one in Hampton. Va.. the Oregon wrestling team returns to friendly McArthur Court this weekend to host Portland State University and the University of Minnesota Friday and Oregon State University Saturday. “It was a long road trip,” said Oregon coach Ron Finley. “We wrestled nine times in eleven days. But it was a good test against some of the better teams in the country. We wrestled five guys that are ranked third or better (nationally).” Now Finley’s ready to settle his team into cozy Mac Court and wrestle some familiar faces. “Now that we're back home, the guys don’t have to tie star struck. We've wrestled the best. ’ ’ Friday’s meet kicks off with the Ducks facing Portland State at 6:00 p in. and Minnesota at 7:30 p.m. PSU and Minnesota have the night-capper at 9:00 p.m. Only one mat will be used Friday: “That should make it more interesting for the fans.” Finley said. On Saturday, the Civil War wrestling meet begins at 7:30 p in., following the University of Oregon Intramural Wrestling Championships which initiate the evening at 6:00 p.m. PSU and OSIJ are no strangers to the Ducks, who will be looking to avenge a 28-16 dual meet loss to the Vikings in Portland Dec. 21. Both teams were at the Oregon Invitational, which the Beavers narrowly won w ith 102 points, followed by: Southern Oregon (100) and PSU (98). Oregon finished one point behind Portland State, placing fourth in the eight-team field. The Beavers, currently 6-9 in duals, are led by 158-pounder Jeff Cardwell; Tim Glennie (126) and heavyweight Dave Orndorff. The Ducks counter with Chuck Kearney at 167. Roberto Pelayo (118) and much improved Tim Ige at 134. Ige, a sophomore, has had to fill some big shoes vacated by Glenn Jarrett, a national qualifier last year, who is sidelined by a preseason knee injury. “It looks like we ll have to red-shirt Glenn, so he’ll be gone until next year,” Finley said. “But Tiin has been picking up the slack and is consistently im proving Ige is 5-5 in dual action. Injury also plagues the Ducks’ heavyweight position. Freshman Cam Strahm, a steady performer this season, will be out for at least two weeks with a knee injury sustained at Virginia. Replacing Strahm will be freshman James Knott. “We’ll have to bring James out of red shirt." Finley said. “We didn’t want to do that, he needs more experience, but under the circumstances...” Oregon’s 126-pound Shon Lewis, who boasts an 18-2-1 record, will face OSU’s Glen nie. “That should be an ex citing match-up,” said Finley, who expects the OSIJ encounter to be close. It should come down to one match — six points.” Minnesota, which carries a 4-6 record, is a perennial Big 10 Conference mat power. The Ducks got a chance to see them at the prestigious Virginia Duals last weekend, where the Gophers placed seventh among 16 of the nation's top teams.
