on Thursday, the Ducks’ largest
margin of victory ever in the series.
But it could be a good sign for the
Los Angeles school, which beat
Oregon State 70-48 on Saturday.
Last season, after losing to Califor
nia by 29 on the road, UCLA reeled
off eight straight wins, including a
victory over previously-undefeated
Stanford. The Bruins lost only two
more games the rest of the season
and ended up in the NCAA Tourna
ment’s Sweet 16, where they lost to
eventual national champion Duke.
Rat race for eighth
Who would have thought a game
between two conference bottom
feeders could be so entertaining?
Only the top eight teams from the
conference are invited to the Pac-10
Tournament in March, so the con
ference’s cellar dwellers now have
something to play for.
■> On Thursday, Washington and
Washington State played for it. Boy, did
they ever.
The Huskies and Cougars traded
baskets down the stretch in Pull
man, and with 0.3 seconds left,
r
Washington State’s Marcus Moore
fouled Washington’s Will Conroy
behind the three-point line.
Less than one second left.
Huskies down by three points with
three free throws to tie.
First free throw. Swish.
Second free throw. Miss.
Third free throw. Miss.
The Cougars go wild. They’ve got
their first Pac-10 win, 81-79. How
ever, the Huskies still hold down
ninth place, one game behind Ore
gon State, which was swept at
home by USC and UCLA this week
end. Washington State is two games
behind Oregon State.
Casey, the prodigal Jacobsen
Stanford’s Casey Jacobsen was
named the Pac-lO’s Player of the
Week after an absolutely dominat
ing performance over Arizona State
on Thursday. The Cardinal junior
had a Maples Pavilion-record 49
points on 14-for-22 shooting from
the field, six three-pointers and 15
for-17 shooting from the free-throw
line. Stanford won the game, 90-81.

include beating No. 53 Vlaski of the
Huskies 7-6 (7-3), 6-3.
“I stayed focused mentally and battled
through the first set of both matches,” said
Kost, the Ducks’ No. 2 singles player. “After
that, I was able to gain confidence and play
well enough to put the matches away. It feels
good to get the wins because I know I’m good
enough to beat players at that high level.”
Russell was impressed by Kost’s play and
said the freshman may move up to No. 1.
“He has been playing very well against
some really tough competition,” Russell
said. “He’s now 4-0 this season, and he
might get a shot at going No. 1.”
Oregon’s record is now 3-1 overall, with
Pacific-10 Conference play starting in late
March (Sunday’s match against Washington
didn’t count as a conference match). The
Ducks will face the Huskies again on April
20, in Seattle.
“Overall, I feel really good about our per
formance this weekend,” Russell said.
“We’re starting to reach a point where we
don’t settle for moral victories, which is im
portant. We’re building confidence, and we
believe we can compete with some of the
better teams in the country.”

and are ineligible for these teaching awards.)
Eligibility for Awards
Ersted Award for
Distinguished Teaching
The late Mr. A. J. Ersted established the
Ersted Award for Distinguished Teaching
so the University of Oregon could
annually honor faculty members “who
have taught comparatively short periods
and have demonstrated exceptional
abilities to induce students to reason and
not merely memorize.” The Ersted
Award is presented only to faculty who
are early in their teaching careers. This
teaching may occur at the undergraduate
or graduate level.
Thomas F. Herman Faculty
Achievement Award for
Distinguished Teaching
This award honors senior faculty
members who have achieved outstanding
records as teachers. The Thomas F.
Herman Award is presented only to
faculty members who have academic rank
at the University of Oregon for at least
seven years, and who have demonstrated
long-standing excellence in teaching and
have contributed significantly to student
learning at the undergraduate or graduate
level.

Wrestling
continued from page 5
Tony Overstake, who is ranked
No. 17, narrowly missed a win over
No. 11 Rocky Smart, losing 3-2.
Oregon’s 157-pound wrestler, Over
stake has been wrestling well for
the Ducks after recovering from a
knee injury that sidelined him for
three of Oregon’s dual meets.
Against Boise State, Overstake de
feated Tyler Robertson, 11-5.
Along with Overstake’s one point
loss, Oregon also lost the heavy
weight match by one point as No. 9
Kellen Fluckiger defeated No. 15
Eric Webb 3-2 in overtime.
“The dual score wasn’t indica
tive of how close it was,” Kearney
said. “We had some matches where
we were in the position to win.”
Kearney is hopeful that his team
will use the defeat in Tempe as a
gauge of where they are in the Pac-10.
