scoring and rebounding.
Martin, a first-team All-Pac-10
performer last season, ranks
third in the conference in
scoring with 17 points a game
and first in rebounding with 10
rebounds per contest.
However, Oregon currently
ranks first in the Pac-10 in both
scoring defense, holding
opponents to just about 53
points a game, and margin of
victory, at more than 16 points
per outing.
Defensively, the Ducks are
led by 6-foot-5 center Jenny
Mowe, who has recorded 25
blocked shots in the first 13
games this season, including a
season-high six in Oregon’s 63
59 victory over Stanford on
Monday.
Mowe, who missed nearly all
of last season with tendinitis in
her right knee, ranks third on
the Ducks with 65 rebounds
and fifth in scoring, averaging
just more than seven points a
game.
(( The Pac-10 is so
wide open this year. It's
tough to say who will
come out on top. We
hope to be in
contention right down
to the very end. **

Oregon men face UCLA
after stunning losses
Both the Ducks and
Bruins will be looking to
rebound on Saturday
By Tim Pyle
Oregon Daily Emerald
Losing is never fun, but losing
the way the Oregon men’s basket
ball team did Thursday night is
heartbreaking.
Luckily fortheDucks, they have
the opportunity to soothe the
heartache almost immediately
when they battle No. 8 UCLA at
McArthur Court on Saturday,
starting at 5:35 p.m. and televised
on the Oregon Sports Network.
“We’ve got to rebound, we’ve
got to win,” forward A.D. Smith
said after the 85-84 loss to South
ern California on Thursday night.
“We have a must-win situation
against UCLA.”
But Oregon (9-3 overall, 1-2 Pa
cific-10 Conference), which has
lost two straight games for the first
time this season, will not be the
only team looking for redemption.
The Bruins (10-3, 2-1) were
shocked Thursday night in Cor
vallis, where Oregon State rudely
ended UCLA’s eight-game win
ning streak with a 65-63 victory.
Adding fuel to the fire of Satur
day’s matchup is that Eugene has
not been kind to the Bruins in re
cent years.
In four of the past five seasons,
nationally ranked UCLA teams
have dejectedly left Mac Court as
losers.
The home crowd has played a
big part in all of those games, and
Duck fans seem to enjoy beating
the Bruins more than perhaps any
other team.
The first three of those four Ore
gon wins were decided by 10
points or less, and the one UCLA
win in Eugene in that stretch was
also close, with the Bruins prevail
ing 77-71 in 1996.
Last season, the Ducks used 12
three-pointers and a .526 shooting
percentage to successfully defend
their home court in a 97-81 win
over then-No. 6 UCLA. Guard
Terik Brown, now a senior, scored
a game-high 22 points on seven
of-12 shooting. Guard Yasir Rose
mond, now a junior, added 15
points and a fade-away, three
point dagger in the second half.
Former stars Toby Bailey, Kris
Johnson and J.R. Henderson, who
accounted for 46 of the Bruins’ 68
points in their two-point home
win over Oregon last season, are
all gone.
Sophomore point guard Baron
Davis now runs the show, and he
is joined by returning starter Earl
Watson in the backcourt.
JaRon Rush, Jerome Moiso and
Dan Gadzuric are expected to start
in the frontcourt. The three fresh
men are part of UCLA’s sterling re
cruiting class from last year,
which was ranked No. 1 in the
country.
The Ducks may appear to have
their work cut out for them against
the young, talented and angry Bru
ins, but Oregon head coach Ernie
Kent said he is confident his team
will be ready following the tough
loss to the Trojans.
"We will bounce back,” Kent
said.
Sports brief
DiMaggio recovering
after lung surgery
The Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD, Fla, — Joe
DiMaggio, near death a month
ago, was described as being in
good health Thursday in his re
covery from lung cancer surgery.
“He beat pneumonia,” said
Morris Engelberg, the spokesman
for the 84-year-old baseball great.
“The infection is gone, his vital
signs are good.”
DiMaggio survived a series of
major setbacks following his op
eration on Oct. 14, including se
rious lung infections.
Engelberg said no decision liad
been made on when the New
York Yankees Hall of Famer
would leave Memorial Regional
Hospital.
“It's day-to-day,” he said.
A visit from Yankees owner
George Steinbrenner last week
buoyed DiMaggio, according to
Engelberg, DiMaggio’s lawyer
and longtime friend.
“George had been calling three
or four times a week, but this
was the first time Joe was well
enough to have him visit,” Engel
berg said. "They had a couple of
laughs and both enjoyed them
selves.”
