BASKETBALL
Continued from Page 14
• Darryl Parker. 6-foot-5-inches, forward Park
er is another athletic one who has shown ability to
drive to the hoop, shoot from the outside and get
off the ground. The junior college transfer has seen
a lot of playing time at the "three” position where
he is able to use his abilities.
• Brian Smith, 6-foot-3-inches, point guard.
Smith is a defensive specialist who doesn't pene
trate to the hoop as well as Wilkins. However.
Smith has shown signs of some offense skills and
it wouldn't be surprising to see Smith and Wilkins
taking the court together some time in the near
future.
The rust of the loam is comprised of veterans.
Williams has stepped in nicely in the scoring cat
egory. scoring in double-figures in two of Oregon's
first throe games. Lyden, who redshirted last year,
has stepped up in the first three games, averaging
11.3 points and shooting 60 percent from three
point range.
Center Aaron Johnson has played solid in the
middle, pulling down five rebounds and scoring
10 points Sunday. Johnson and Sellers .have been
pushed into extended duty because of the absence
of fi-foot-O-inch Jeff Potter, who is out for possibly
another three or four weeks with an injury.
Damon Runyon has played some decent minutes
at forward for Oregon, but still lacks the size in the
middle to be effective at getting rebounds.
John Mitchell rounds out the bunch. Mitchell
has played a surprisingly high amount of minutes
in the Ducks' first three games and has looked
good at times.
The Ducks ire 1-0 and will play Pacific Univer
sity .Saturday at McArthur Court.
Looks like a
Vivarin night.

The big one's only 12 hours away. You
could have paid more attention in
class, but tonight you've gotta
cram. First, you better keep
those eyes from closing.
Revive with Vivarin.
Safe as coffee, it
helps keep you
awake and mentally
alert for hours.
So when your most
difficult problem to
solve is how to
stay a wake... make it
a Vivarin night!
