Ducks to look for first
road win in California
By Dave Chartx>nneau
Emerald Sports Reportor
Thu Oregon men's basket
ball team has not won many
games this year, and oven
worse, the Ducks have yet to
win a game on the rood
Oregon. 2-14 in Pacific-10
Conference play and 6-19
overall, hope to erase the trav
eling goose egg on a road trip
to Stanford tonight and Cali
fornia on Saturday
As a matter of fact, the last
time the Ducks won on an op
ponent's court was last sea
son's win ul Berkeley, where
they wrap up the season Sat
unlay.
Oregon is 0 H on the n>ad,
though the Duck* did have
one victory this season away
from Mr Arthur Court over
liusl Tennessee State but it
was played in japan, a neutral
site.
The saddest part of the
Ducks' road exploits has boon
the fact that not only an? they
losing, but they're losing big
In their eight mad losses this
year, the average margin of
defeat Is more than 24 points
a game.
Oregon Is averaging 59
points a game on the road
compared with 71 u! home
The Ducks give up more than
Hi) points on the road and 711
at the I’ll
Coach Don Monson said a
number of things contribute to
ineptitude on the road.
"I don't think you cun pin
point any one reason why
we've struggled on the road,"
Monson said "Some games
wo haven’t shot well, some
games we've had poor hall
control; some games we ha
ven't played good defense."
It's also very hard to win on
the rood when more than half
of your starting lineup are
freshmen For the majority of
the I’ac-10 season, the Ducks
have start mi three freshmen,
and playing at places sue h as
Pauley Pavilion at IK'.LA for
tin- first time can cause some
jitters
Tonight’s game with the
Card mat will not likely pro
vide the Ducks with an elu
sive rood victory In the pre
vious meeting between the
two teams. Stanford ( rushed
Oregon at Mac Court 7H57
Cardinal lor ward Adam
Keefe is having a spectacular
year, averaging 25 points and
12 rebounds a game
Saturday's game with the
(•olden Hears should lie a fit
ting end to the season Cal
(2-14. H-1H) has had just .is
had of a season as the Ducks,
and Saturday's game may de
termine who gets the dubious
distinction as the last-plate
tram in the Par 10
In the opening game of the
Put 10 season, Oregon pol
ished off Cal. 07-57, thus hav
ing a winning league record
for a few hours
Team praises Monson despite stats

As the Oregon men'* basketball team plays its
final Iwo games of the season tonight and Satur
day, the end of the Don Mon son era may la- less
than a wwk away
Athletic director Bill Bvmr said last month he
would wait until the end of the season before de
t iding the fate of Oregon's nine-year head mat h,
who must win at least one of the two games to
avoid his worst season ever In liugene
The justifications mentioned so far for Mon
son's removal are mainly econonui Mi Arthur
Court attendance this year was the lowest in a
demde, and the basketball program may lost
money, a hitter pill for the athletli department to
swallow given its multimllllon-dollaf defit it
There lias also been wtdesjireud dissatisfat tlon
with Oregon's 6-1M ret ord and last plat e position
In the I’ncifh tO Conference
However, little mention has lm n made of any
other justifiable reasons for Monson's removal
This brings up an interesting point, and one
central to coliegialo athletics in general Is win
ning percentage the only or even the most
irnjKirtant goal for a college coat h'
In the non athletu realm, college is supposed
to he the [ilaie where voting adults gain Ixith an
education and the maturity necessary for entering
the real world
But athletics have Inc reasinglv ex c tipied a i om
pletely different world
in this era of multimillion dollar salaries for
professional athletes, who are paid to win, the
same obligation seems to have filtered down into
the amateur ranks as well
Bui while the programs that break the rules get
all the jiuhlit 11\. the ones following the rules and
striving to jirixiui e not just athletes, hut adult stu
dent athletes, are often forgotten
forgotten only until, it seems, they suffer
through a dismal season
Certainly Munson has not been successful this
season But if the opinions of those who should
count the most his players are considered.
Monson's importance to the University may lx
come more obvious
'Munson is a very honest and straightforward
person.'' said David Brantley, who played for
r4#pfto»o
Oregon basketball coach Don Mon son's 6-19 re
cord this season has put his tuture as the team’s
coach in question.
Monson in 1W3-H4 and is now .1 shx kbroker in
the San i-'rant isco area “Hi; helped instill valuns
in you as to the type of person you want to be and
how to ( am yourself."
liven more important, Brantley said, was that
Monson accomplished what colleges are sup
posed to preparing him for the rest of his life
"He stressed that when basketball was done
with, it was important to have something else to
do with vour life." Brantley said "Don is a real
ist. and fie knows that the majority of players he
has won t play basketball beyond college. He
wants them to fie thinking about their future
"I don't play basketball anymore, I'm a sl<x k
broker 1 don't watch many games on television
But I know what Don Monson did for me, and
that's r arms) on to what I do now
