_Sports_ Duck netters succumb to OSU in last match of losing season By lack Millikin Emerald Sports Reporter As the cheers enveloped Gill Coliseum following Oregon State's 15-10. 15-9. 10-15. 4-15. 15-9 victory over the Ducks, it became apparent that the ech oes of a losing season would re verberate among Webfoot play ers and coaches until they took the floor in 19H9. While the Beavers celebrated their first win against the Ducks in 11 tries dating back to 1983, the frustrations of the Ducks' nightmare season cul minated into a moment of de spair. Duck middle blocker Dawnn Charroin lay motionless on the court after the match point fell in Webfoot territory just sec onds before. Teary-eyed out side hitter Kate Harper found solace in a barren section of Gill Coliseum seats as she re flected on the season's misfor tunes. Senior back row special ist Tina Adolph, playing the last game of her collegiate ca reer, had hoped to pull off a win for a specific reason. “One of the main things was that, with a win tonight. Ore gon State would have been the only team that I could say that (Oregon) had always beaten during my career," Adolph said. “Now I can't say that." “We made a lot of unforced errors tonight." Oregon coach Gerry Gregory said. "We had a lot of missed defensive oppor tunities as well. We had a lot of confidence going in to the fifth Come on get a little color In those cheeks!!

The loss was the Ducks* 18th in their last 17 matches and extends the Webfoots’ school record losing streak to 13. The Duck winning percentage of .296 marks the first sub-par campaign in Greg ory's nine year career as a head coach. "(OSU head coach) Guy (Knriques) is really turning their program around,” Adolph said in regards to the Beavers' 13-24 finish this year as op posed to 8-24 in 1986 and 3-25 in 1987. For the season. OSU has been drawing impressive reviews for its defensive performances. Outside hitter Tricia Becker and Julie Leamon collected 18 digs each while adding 18 and 17 kills, respectively, and sophomore middle blocker Hel en Hoonhout tied an OSU school record with eight solo blocks. On the offensive side, Lea mon and Kristy Wing logged three service aces apiece as the Beavers made life tough for the Duck defense, racking up 10 service aces for the match. For the Ducks, Michele Krebsbarh hammered 22 kills to lead both sides and helped on the defensive end with 16 digs. Charroin added 13 kills and also combined with fellow middle hlocker Denise Kuhn (10 blocks) to help the Webfoots outblock the Heavers 27-15. "This year we have won more matches than the two pre vious years combined, so we have proven that we have the abilities to compete.” Enriques said. “Sometimes a team will have contributions by six or seven players, but tonight we got contributions from all 11 players." "We're a young team, and I think we just need some more experience,” outside hitter Ju lie Jeffery said. “1 know we will be a better team next year.” However, the question of how the demise of the Ducks came about still lingers, and answers are few. "It may be a question of be ing motivated to become a good team," Gregory said. "It could be that I'm not doing a good enough job as a coach. 1 just don’t know." "I guess we’ll find out in the off-season what kind of team we are,” junior middle blocker Stephanie Drier said. “Each of us will have to take a look at our individual roles and go from there.” Restaurant is now NIGHTLY DRINK SPECIALS - 9pm-11pm MON.-STUPENT NIGHT (with student I.D. card) Tue.-"Tequila Tuesday" Wed.-"Long Island Tea night" Thu.-"Ladies night" FREE FOOD (nightly from 4-8 pm) 535 Main St. Springfield 747-0307 Lisa's Barbecue VOLVO Owners Preventive Maintenance Special FREE SAFETY INSPECTION $1Q5° OIL CHANGE 4 cyl. includes oil Located at 12th & Main in Springfield & filter Call 726-1808 for appointment ALL WORK GUARANTEED Now Selling Quality Used VOLVOS-747-4400 / /Service \ x The VOLVO Specialists -UO-Bookstore An Oregon Pioneer Family’s History Skookum SHANNON APPLEGATE How did il feel to he a mother witnessing the death of her child on the way to Oregon, or to be a settler’s son watching his Indian friends round ed up in the dead of winter and marched off to the reserves? What did it do to the course of a young woman's life when she learned that her father had scratched her name from the family Bible? What son of world was it where an old blue sugar bowl filled w ith gold dust could be unconcerned ly set out in plain sight? To answer these questions about her own fami ly’s crossing to and settlement of Oregon. Shannon Applegate has gone beyond the better-known and occasionally illustrious lives of male Applegates. She has delved into the thousands of family documents, let ters, journals, recollections, manuscripts, sketchbooks, and photographs that survived because they were cherished and protected by generations of female relatives before her. Shannon Applegate has fashioned these richly detailed sources into a narrative of extraordinary scope and power that brings this family and the emerging West dramatically to life. Shannon Applegate’s visit with several elderly Applegate relatives in 1467 changed the course of her creative life. Soon after, she moved to the Yon colla Valley and into the old Applegate house, her ancestral home and principle setting for Skookum. Several Applegate pieces have been published in The Northwest Review. Shannon Applegate has spent seven teen years researching and writing this book. She lives in Roseburg. Oregon.
