■ Controversy surrounded col
lege basketball when it an-
■ounced plans to develop a
three point line in college
Bsketball.
■ Some complained it would
“professionalize,” or in simpler
■rms, bring college ball one
aep closer ta the level of the
Rational Basketball Associa
tion. Others saw it as a chance
t| bring some excitement to the
liege level.

The three point line is 19’9‘
om the hoop. This is three feet
s than the NBA’s three point
e. This makes the shot easier,
erefore, more common.
Last Wednesday when
ackamas and Lane squared
f in Randall Hall, 25 of the
0 shots attempted were three
int goals. \
The question I have to ask is:
■ this a normal shot? Before
he rule was adopted prior to
his season, would a player have
¡aken a shot from this distance?
IA 20 or 21 foot jump shot is
■t an uncommon shot in a
Rgular basketball game,
Riether it counts as three points
■ two. A player taking a jump
sh( t from this distance is like a
Bnpulsive gambler putting his
Bps on the table. It happens

“This tournament wasn’t a
real outstanding tournament.
No real power teams were there
or anything,” commented Tim
Jordan.
When asked about how he
and the team as a whole, felt
about the regionals, Jordan
replied, “We’re excited. I hope
to do very well. I think we’ll do
pretty well. I think we’ll be up
in second or third actually.”
A team of ten, the best in
each weight class, will leave to
day for the Regionals in Range

left to be played in the game.
Finn’s absence from the court
took a toll at the defensive end
of the court. Lane posts
Maryanne Graham and Theresa
Hosier scored 11 and 12 points
respectively for the Titans in the
second half.
The brightest spot for
Clackamas was guard Karla
Tiano’s 17 points and three
assists. Tiano, whose first half
was better than her second (6-10
from the field and 13 points),
suffered a minor injury to her
right hand in the second half,
but it did not prevent her from
going back into the game.
Clackamas led the game for
most of the first half. That lead
changed when the Titans went
ahead to stay with less that five
minutes to play in the half.
Poor shooting took a toll on
Clackamas. The Cougars shot
just 30 percent, 19 of 64 from
the field.
The Cougars committed 27
fouls which resulted in 18 points
from the free throw line for
Lane.
In addition to Tiano’s 17
points, forward Bobbi Cren

The team is composed of 13

“The girls have been getting a lot
of playing time which will pro
vide experience for next year,”
stated Garver.
Although the team has only
won six games this season,
Garver is confident that many of
the players will return next year.
“It’s been quite humbling,”
said Garver, in regards to the
team’s success this season. “I
wasn’t used to losing like this.”
In his three previous seasons at
Clackamas, Garver had put
together an 82-30 record.
“Everyone loves a winner,”
stated Garver. “But when your
losing you find out who your
friends are,” he added. He went
on the say that losing is one realm
of coaching you don’t want to
face.
Garver explains the team has
potential, but lacks experience
and confidence.
Karla Tiano is the team’s
leading scorer and “has been our
stability as far as attitude and giv
ing 110 percent is concerned,”
said Garver. Ann Schlegemilch
and Mitzi Finn are also on that
level according to Garver.
