ns a solid and competitive imm,
guiding Oregon lo the NCAA
tournament in nil but (our of his
years as coach, and leading the
team to as high a* 11th in the
nation.
In his first season. Finley
qualified as coach of the 1971
CrecO'Koman World Champi
onships,
Hut it would be in 1975, just
his fifth season, that Finley
would experience his greatest
success Me guided Oregon to a
16-2-1 conference title en route
to his first of two conference
coach of the year awards The
Ducks set a team record with
nine out of 10 individual confer
ence championships and fin
ished 12th at the NCAA tourna
ment
mt him a super bunch ol
guys." Finley mailed. "It was a
gixx! feeling of accomplish men (
because they did so well."
In 1M0. the team began a
thnu-year dominance that
would establish the Ducks as a
true wrestling powerhouse The
team finished 1 Hh at the NtiAA
tournament, and Finley fol
lowed it up by leading the
Ducks to n 22-3 record and the
first of two consecutive Pac-tO
Conference championships. The
team then posted a 14 4 record
as Finley captured his second
conference r oach of the year
award
It wa* in 1084 that Finley's
r areer peaked He was named
coach of the 1 !>H4 U S Olympic
Greco-Roman Wrestling squad.
an the team took two individual
gold medals, one silver and one
bronze modal, marking the first
time ever that a U.S. wrestler
bad earned an Olympic Grer.o
Komsii modal. For his effort
Finley was awarded the nation
al wrestling coach of the year
honor
All in all, Finley has coached
IB All-Americans and led the
Ducks to the Top 25 in 11 of his
seasons A majority of the Ore
gon wrestling rv< ords have l**en
set under Finley, including most
individual season and career
wins and all but two of the
team's individual conference
championships.
And rtniey. a native of
wrestling-rich Newberg, Ore . is
no slouch when it comes to
hands-on wrestling experience.
A graduate of Oregon State, Fin
ley won the Pacific Coast Con
ference title twice.
"As a wrestler, I didn’t have
all the talent in the world, but I
found I could make up the dif
ference with hard work." said
Finley, humbly.
Hut whether it was talent or
hard work that got him there,
Finley had great success in
world competition. After plac
ing fourth at the U.S. World
Championships in and
1963, he won the gold medal in
the freestyle competition at the
1 fif»3 Pan-American Games and
took fourth plac e in the Greco
Roman category in the 1964
Olympic Games in Tokyo.
So. after ac < omplishing so
much, what keeps Finley at Ore
gon?
In a state so rich with

I would definitely tike
to win the NCAA
championship, ami /
think this school is
ca/xihle of doing it

wrestling talent, it is an ideal
plac e for such a wrestling icon
to coach Finley said that the
environment, including the
administrators and the fans,
makes Oregon a favorable place
to work
I he stale ol ( rregon has ihhhi
a j{r«'at state for wrestling front
the boginning." Finley said. “I
love it here One reason I've
stayed here so long is that this is
a great place to work."
But trie humble Finley, who
attributes much of the team's
success to his assistant coaches,
does have ulterior motives for
staying with the Ducks — that
is, if you call a national cham
pionship and much deserved
respect ulterior motives.
“Not all of my goals have (>een
met," Finley said. ''No mattor
how long it takes. I’m not a quit
ter 1 would definitely like to win
the NUAA championship and I
think this school is capable of
doing it I think we will contin
ue to stay tOUgh in the future."
"My main goal." Finley final
ly asserted, "is to see wrestling
be it spotlight sport at the Uni
versity of Oregon and get the
respect it deserves."

Inexperience stepped to tho forefront in the final
two minutes at the Us Angelos Sports Arena,
snapping the women's three-game winning streak.
Five fouls and two turnovers < <>st the Ducks thoir
four-point margin and a chance to have a sham of
the Pac-tO load
The Ducks' loss of starting seniors Jossica Schutt
and Kartui lioaloa have mado an impar t on the
Ducks’ squad
Srhutt has boon hani|>ertHi with a sprained ankle
since Dec. 17, while lioaloa fractured her right
hand during practice prior to the women's Dor 10
contest vs Portland
"Sho (Schutt) has not boon at practice at all.''
said Jody Kunge. Oregon head coach. "I thought
iiftor four weeks siui would be bar k to prin tin*, but
it is going a lot slower than I thought it would
Karen has eight weeks liofore sho gets to use her
hand at all. So she'll far late February at the earli
est and that's if she is on schedule **
Although the team has had its share of sporadic
problems, Arianne Boyer, Sally Crowe and Renat;
Fegettl have stepped to the forefront for the Ducks
in the seniors' absence
Hover, a Pat. 10 all-freshman team member last
season, has begun to emerge as one of the top play
ers in the conference, leading the Ducks in
rebounding each of the past three games while
averaging 20 points and 10.5 rebounds during
league play.
The Australian connection of Crowe and Fegent
has been on fire Since Crowe's arrival just a
month ago. she has already showed signs of adapt
ing to the different style of play and her new sur
roundings The 5-9 guard recorded eight steals and
sis assists in one game for the second time this sea
son at UCLA before scoring a collegiate-best 1H
points (8-9 FG) at USC
"1 think she is still adjusting to our system, but
she brings a confidence and experience in the
game that we didn't have,” Kunge said, "just tier
determination helps us a lot."
Many of Crowe's assists are dropped into the 6
foot-3 Fegent, the other half of the connection.
Kegent has continued to lend the team's offensive
production in two of the last three games, averag
ing lft 7 points a game since the first of the year.
On the defensive end of the court Kegent tops the
conference in blocked shots (2.7).
Oregon State (ft-2. 1-1) is off to its best start in
eight seasons, losing only to then-No, 6 Vanderbilt
before being upset at UCLA. The Beavers' situation
is tlie exact opposite of that of Oregon.
For the Beavers it lias been a veteran contingent
that has taken advantage of its five sta ■
The only problem OSU has been having is
putting two halves of basketball together in the
same game They out scored USC 46-23 in the sec
ond half to overcome a 10-point halftime deficit on
route to a 6ft-58 victory before squandering a nine
point halftime advantage to UCLA.
The top thro# for OSU are Tan ja Kostic. who
Imuls (he Fai -10 in scoring (214). Anette MoJIer*
strom, who averages 18 points a game during the
Pac 10 schedule and Bokv Vidic. who ranks s«
ond in assists (6.0).
Kunge thinks that the Ducks do not need to key
on any one player defensively to win the Civil War
game against the Beavers. She thinks that the
Ducks are just one step away from being a top-lev
el team, and she feels that the Ducks will lie in a
position to pick up some national exposure against
the Beavers.
“It's a good challenge for us right now and 1
think it's a good opportunity to gain some nation
al exposure since they've been getting votes in the
lop 25. Kongo said "l believe we are (one step
away)."
