Wrestlers prevail again,
keep undefeated record
By Kevin Alien
Emerald Contributor
The Ducks did it again. Roll
ing out to a 10-0 lead, the
Oregon wrestling team trium
phed by its biggest margin of
the season by destroying the
Spartans of San Jose State 39-3
Tuesday night at McArthur
Court.
The victory keeps the Ducks
undefeated at both 3-0 in the
Pacific-10 Conference and 7-0
overall for the year. San jose fell
to 3-4-1 overall. 1-3-1 in the
Pac-10.
“Our team unity is booming,
we’re competing, morale is
high and things are going our
way," commented sophomore
Danny White after the meet.
White was one of six Ducks vic
torious by a major decision or
better.
He defeated San Jose’s Jeff
Profio 16-2 for his sixth victory
of the season.
Everyone’s overview seems to
be better for Oregon. The only
blemish on the night was
freshman Jason Pehling’s 10-9
loss to Spartan Joe Zamlich.
Pehling took a quick 4-0 lead,
then fell asleep.
‘‘He had a nice lead, but he
tried to protect it; he went on
the defensive, and if he had at
tacked more he would have
been OK. But he’s learning
that's what's important for a
freshman. He's got to be ready
to compete throughout the
whole match," Oregon coach
Ron Finley said
Finley was pleased by the
Ducks' success.
“Everything's coming
together for us except the
crowd.” he said. Only 190 fans
attended the Ducks' seventh
straight victory.
"We have two workouts a
day. . everyone is working
together toward one goal,"
Finley said. He attributes the
team's success to both unity and
assistant coach Dean Dixon’s
emphasis on being tough once
on top.
Friday the Ducks play host in
the civil war battle versus
Oregon State. The meet will be
at 7:30 p.m. in McArthur Court.
"We need a crowd bad,"
Finley said. "We haven't beaten
the Beavers since 1982. Both
sets of guys will be sky high,
and it will be dog eat dog out
there, so we need all the help
we can get from the crowd."
Talented freshmen help
Duck wrestlers improve

After finishing seventh in the
Pacific-10 Conference with a
disappointing 8-13 record last
season, Oregon wrestling coach
Ron Finley has the Ducks turn
ed around and off to a flying
start this season.
The Ducks are currently G-0
in overall dual meets and 2-0 in
the Pac-10.
One of the main reasons for
the turnaround is the perfor
mance of this year's freshman
class, which has not only added
depth to the roster, but has been
a hio contributor to the Ducks'
has been getting used to the in
tensity and the tough level of
competition,” Finley said.
‘‘They don’t have typical high
school matches anymore. Every
time out it’s like a state meet for
them.”
Strahm first met Myers in
their senior year of high school.
"He heat me in my first match
of my senior year,” Myers said.
"Curt wrestles ahead of me
here, so there is some competi
tion between us, but we still get
along.”
"There’s more competition

early success.
Going into Tuesday night's
match with San Jose State. Curt
Strahm is 7-2 overall and 5-0 in
dual meets; Scott Myers is 2-1,
2- 0; and Jason Pehling is 5-7,
3- 3.
With Strahm and Myers,
Finley may have the foundation
on which to build a successful
program.
“I certainly hope so,” said
the Ducks coach. "They have a
lot to learn, but they’ve shown a
lot of toughness and intensity.”
When talking about Strahm
and Myers, “toughness” and
“intensity” seemed to be the
words that Finley used most.
