The contest also will feature an exciting confrontation bet ween probably the two best guards in the conference — Oregon’s Anthony Taylor and Cal's Kevin Johnson. Comparing statistics of the two. Taylor is averaging 21.4 points (second in the con ference) and 4.3 rebounds a game, while Johnson is averag ing 17.2 (ninth in the con Second Hand Clothing NEED CASH? We BUY used clothing.

"They kind of carry their teams — Kevin Johnson even more now with the loss of Leonard Taylor, and Anthony has done it all year for us. “They are two exciting guards who, in my opinion, are as good as anyone in the con ference." he said. The Ducks, 10-8 overall and 4-5 in Pac-10 play, have won two straight, having swept the Washington schools last week at home. The victories helped Oregon to regain some con fidence — confidence which may have been a little shaky after three prior consecutive losses on the road (OSIJ, UCLA, USC). “There's nothing that rein forces confidence better than winning, and in order for us to M Sat 10 4 2839 Willamalta Quality < > Resale Clothing < > n _ < * i f*s (Ok U-ttAl < ► l & Gins SrniHK luitrnt fur .1/ \rury Repairs • Buy and Sell STEREO WORKSHOP 1409 Main. Springfiatd 741*1597 be a confident team we have to string a few wins together — that’s what we hope to do this weekend.” Monson said. Cal dealt Oregon a sound 78-67 defeat in Berkeley to begin the conference schedule in December, but will be without center Leonard Taylor, who did most of the damage against the Ducks — 30 points and seven rebounds — in that meeting. Taylor has been sidelined with a congenital back problem, and the Bears have been forced to place transfer Hartmut Ort rnann into the starting lineup. “(The loss of Taylor) certain ly is going to affect (Cal) over the long haul.” Monson said. “Cal is not as good a basketball team without Leonard Taylor as they are with him. Despite the absence of Taylor, the Ducks will have to execute better this go-around in order to beat the Bears, who are 13-8 overall and 6-3 in conference. However, Cal is 4-3 since losing Taylor for the season. “We’ll have to defense them better, keep them out of the open court and rebound better than we did down there,” Mon son said.
