CCC boosts streak to 68 Clackamas wrestlers will com pete in the Oregon College Ath letic Association this weekend after having run their Oregon dual meet record to 68 straight. "We're still not completely healthy going into the state meet," Rich Taylor, head coach, said. "We will be using the team we used for our dual meet season with the exception of Tom Burghardt who is still out with injuries." _ Clackamas is seeded first in five weights as the tournament. Taylor looks for tough compe tition from Umpqua Community College and possibly Central Ore gon Community College. "We're still about two weeks away from reaching our peak, but if the rest of the team shows the kind of intensity that Rocky Schneider did this weekend, we should win state again," Taylor said. Schneider took first in the Oregon-Washington Community Chai lege Championships hosted by the College last weekend. Only seven Clackamas wrestlers were entered in five weight clas- es. Ron Geister took second and Mike Vögele third to anchor for the Cougars fourth place finish overall. "We let the people with in juries rest up this weekend," Taylor said. "The tournament wasn't that important to us." In dual meet action, Clacka mas downed Mt. Hood 22-14 at home last Wednesday despite numerous Cougar injuries. Sam Baer, 118 pounds, led in scoring, but with 35 seconds left in the match, Mt. Hood's Jim Deming turned and pinned him. Tom Gilbo couldn't quite pro vide a win either as he drew with Stephen Smith 7-7. But, finally Bill Bowers did win pulling out his match 5-4. At 150, the Saint's Steve Mo ses decisioned Steve Summers 12-8 after both schools gave up a forfeit at 142 pounds. Dennis O'Quinn took revenge for Clack amas beating his opponent 5-4. Ron Geister, 167 pounds won a superior decision over Steve Anderson, 18-6, while 177 pounder Mike Vögele beat his foe 8-4. Winning by a forfeit was 190- Pounder Rocky Schneider. Mt. Hood's highly publicized heavy weight Dave Bartkowski brought the Saints closer but not close enough as he won 8-5 over Craig Groner.

Basketballers have chance for playoff bert The College Men's Basketball team moved one step closer to their first regional playoff ap pearance this past week with victories over Chemeketa and Judson Baptist. The victories solidified the Cougar's hold on third place in league standings with an eight and six record. With two games left in the season, the Cougars have an excellent chance to enter the league playoffs in third place. If they can take third place, they will host the fourth place team in the opening round of the playoffs. The winner of that game plays the second place team for the right to go to the regional tournament at the College of Southern Idaho on Feb. 22. At this time, the Cougar op ponent, in the opening round, would be either Linn-Benton (7-7), Chemeketa (6-8) or Um pqua (6-8). Linn-Benton has the best shot as Chemeketa has to travel to Bend to take on co-leader Cen tral Oregon and Umpqua hosts the other leader. Lane. The Cougars second round opponent will also be decided this week as Lane travels to Bend to take on Central Oregon for undisputed first place in league standings. As for the Cougars, they still have home games with Umpqua Friday, Feb. 17 and Southwest ern Oregon Community College on Saturday, Feb. 18. Saturday's game will also be Sophomore Appreciation Night. Umpqua will look different than the last game inwhich Clack amas won 71-65. Umpqua's lead ing scorer and top rebounder, Jamie Piles, has been injured and out of play for the remain der of the season. Piles, a 6-4 sophomore, was averaging 15 pointsper game. Southwestern Oregon holds the unique distinction. They are scoring the fewest points and are forfeiting the fewest points in _the league. This was especially apparent the last time the two teams met as SWOCC stalled for most of the game, but the Cougars pre vailed, winning in overtime 41- 39. in games last week, Clackamas played inconsistently throughout the game against Chemeketa, but came out on top, 81 -75. Clackamas led 45-34 at the half and had a 16 point lead with 16:30 to go in the game, when Dan Slick fouled out of the game. As a result, Chemeketa was able to come back and tie the score at 65. However, that's when' Jim Coffman went to work scoring nine of the Cougars last 16 points to put Clackamas on top at the final.
