teammates involved and
was her usual offensive force
too, scoring 2 5 points.

■ Oregon jumps out to
a 21-4 lead to cruise to
an easy 67-49, Pac-10
opening win
By Tim Pyle
Oregon Daily Emerald
CORVALLIS — Consider
revenge taken.
And tack on an exclama
tion point.
In winning its 12th Civil
War in the last 13 meetings
Saturday night, the Oregon
men’s basketball team not
only exacted payback for
last season’s ugly loss at Ore
gon State and began the Pa
cific-10 Conference season
on the right note.
The Ducks (10-2 overall,
1-0 Pac-10) also made a
statement with a 67-49 vic
tory that wasn’t even as
close as the final score indi
cates.
“We’re a very good basket
ball team that is just starting
to come together,” said head
coach Ernie Kent, who im
proved to 4-1 in his coach
ing career against the
Beavers (8-4, 0-1). “For 40
minutes, it was one of the
better basketball games that
my program has played in
terms of the mental aspect
since I’ve been here. ”
Spurred by two three
pointers from sophomore
guard Freddie Jones, Oregon
put eight points on the board
before Oregon State scored
its first basket. And another
three by Jones, along with
treys from senior point
guard Darius Wright and
senior forward A.D. Smith,
gave the Ducks a 21-4 lead
about nine minutes into
what was supposed to be a
close, hotly-contested battle.

Vikings, Clan no match for agressive Ducks
■ Oregon wrestling
took a step forward
last weekend with
wins over two rivals
By Brett Williams
Oregon Daily Emerald
December was not an
easy month for Oregon
wrestling. After going head
to-head with some of the
best wrestling programs in
the nation, Oregon wel
comed matches last week
end against Portland State
and Simon Fraser.
The end result was the
Ducks’ domination against
both squads, first in a 31-6
victory against the Vikings
on Saturday and then in a
50-3 rout over the Clan on
Sunday at McArthur Court.
Oregon head coach
Chuck Kearney said he was
happy about the direction
that he sees his program go
ing following the two im
pressive wins last weekend.
l ieei gooa aouui nuw
we played this weekend,”
said Kearney in his second
season as head coach. “We
went out aggressive and
went for the fall. Sometimes
after a month like last
month, we need a weekend
like this to give us confi
dence. This also gave our
young wrestlers a chance to
dominate.”
Simon Fraser simply did
n’t have the talent to score
points against the Ducks.
After the first six matches,
Oregon had pinned four
Clan wrestlers and won two
matches by forfeit to take a
commanding 36-0 lead.
Eugene Harris added to
the lead in an 8-3 decision
over Simon Fraser’s Jeremy
Andrew and Leif Williams
won in a technical fall be
fore the Clan scored its first
points. Then Oregon added
six more points when Doug
Lee pinned James Messen
ger for the final score.
