Texas’ Pete Stroer dashed Swinnen’s singles hopes by beating him 6-2, 6-2 early Sun day morning. Both Teig and Swinnen are still awaiting their draw for the doubles portion of the Icy Hot and will begin qualifying-round play tomorrow. They are vying for one of the eight main-draw spots still available. Kost will begin his first play of the tournament Tuesday in the singles qualifying round. His draw will be determined later today.

Arizona continued from page 7 five straight 100-yard rushing games, tying a school record set by Bobby Moore (now Ahmad Rashad) in 1971. “(Smith) was a wild man tonight,” quarterback Jason Fife told The As sociated Press. In his inaugural Pac-10 start, Fife rebounded from a mediocre first half to throw for two touchdowns in the second half. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Fife hit freshman Terrence Whitehead in the end zone for a nine-yard touchdown, the final score of the game. “Jason matured in this game,” Bellotti said. “His decision-making improved — he was a little hesitant early on but he threw the ball very accurately and very well.” Senior wide receiver Keenan Howry grabbed his first touchdown of the season on a 33-yard strike from Fife with six minutes to play in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Arizona’s Bobby Wade, the Pac-10 leading receiver, torched Oregon freshmen comer backs Aaron Gipson and Charles Favroth for 151 yards on 12 catches. Wade’s 16-yard touchdown re ception from Arizona quarterback Jason Johnson with 1:53 left in first quarter gave the Wildcats a 14-7 lead. “We played hard,” Wade told the Associated Press. “Oregon is a great team. They know how to win. When the other team knows how to win like that, a little adversity means nothing to them.” Smith scampered into the end zone for a 10-yard score midway through the second quarter to tie the game at 14. The Ducks took their first lead on a career-best 53-yard field goal by sophomore Jared Siegel with 39 sec onds left in the first half. For Arizona, Johnson completed 23-of-41 passes for 302 yards, but was intercepted by safety Keith Lewis in the third quarter. Arizona redshirt freshman Mike Bell, making his first start in place of injured tail back Clarence Farmer, rushed for just 54 yards on 21 carries. “We went toe-to-toe with the No. 8 team in the nation for a long time,” Johnson said. “It’s just one play here or there. We feel like we're close.” In the rankings, the Ducks jumped to No. 7 in The Associated Press poll Sunday. Oregon’s next op ponent, UCLA (4-1,1-0), which de feated Oregon State 43-35 Saturday in Corvallis, is ranked No. 25 in the coaches’ poll.

Lines continued from page 7 midway through the third quarter that included Smith runs for nine, six and eight yards, and a Fife pass to tight end George Wrighster for 19 yards. The touchdown play was a Fife pass to Keenan Howry — the senior receiver’s first touchdown all season — over the middle for 34 yards. On that play, Fife stepped up into the pocket and bought himself enough time to get Howry open downfield. “Jason did a great job today of feeling the pressure, stepping up and utilizing the pocket,” Bellotti said. The second drive was a long, 12 play affair at the end of the third quarter and beginning of the fourth that ended in a five-yard Fife touch down pass to end the scoring at 31 Coming to UO... Se*"*!

The drive included a crucial fourth-and-one conversion — the Ducks’ fourth conversion in four fourth-down attempts this season — by Smith that kept the drive alive. On the other side of the ball, the Oregon defensive line dominated Arizona’s rushing attack, forcing the Wildcats to go to the air offensively. “We got pressure on him, got a bunch of sacks,” Bellotti said. “We did take the run away, and I give credit to the front seven, they did a great job.” The Ducks sacked Wildcat quar terback Jason Johnson five times for a loss of 27 yards and held the Ari zona rushing attack — already de pleted with the loss of star running back Clarence Farmer — to 30 net yards on the evening. The Ducks went into the week end ranked second in the Pac-10 in rushing defense and held up that reputation Saturday. “We were down three defensive ends today,” Beliotti said. “So I was really pleased with that group of de fensive linemen. I can’t say enough about those kids, and our depth there is amazing.” The Ducks will need to keep up their run-stopping pace to have a chance against UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Saturday. The Bruins ran for 247 yards at Reser Stadium on Saturday, as redshirt freshman Tyler Ebell broke out for 203 yards. UCLA quarterback Cory Paus also threw for 378 yards in the offensive spectacle. “From what I saw, their offense was pretty unstoppable today,” Bel iotti said. “But we just have to take care of business.” Contact the sports editor atpeterhockaday@dailyemerald.com. 014334 Locally owned LUBE, OIL, FILTER, TIRE ROTATION • Chassis Lube • New Oil Filter • Up to 5 Qts. 10W-30 Chevron Oil • Clean Front Window • Vaccuum Front Floor Boards • No Appointment necessary • Most cars & light trucks • 3/4 or 1-ton & Extra Cab Trucks Additional Chevron MOTOR OIL POUR IN THE PROTECTION DOWNTOWN 1320 Willamette *485-2356 2975 West 11th 344-0007* OPEN Sundays 11-4
