Sandy won seven of the 10 boys events to w in easily a t the C e n te n n ia l pool. C lin t B ro w n and B re t C ra ne p ic k e d up tw o v ic to rie s apiece and the P ioneers won the ope ning 200-y a rd m edley by MARK FLO YD Sports Editor I can’t resist it any longer A few words about the Oregon State Beavers .As an ardent follower of the Beavers since my freshmen days in high school, I was overjoyed to see OSV reach its No 1 ranking There have been a lot of ups and downs for the Beavers since those days of Freddie Boyd, Neal Jurgenson and Sam Whitehead, but the disappointments always seemed to outweigh the achievements. In 1971. the Beavers had a chance to upset UCLA in G ill Coliseum, but Sidney Wicks rejected an OSU shot and Boyd dribbled the ball off his foot in the last few seconds W icks then sank a jum per to win it 67-65 and the Bruins went on to win the NCAA. In 1979 Oregon State wound up the regular season with a 17-10 record, and earned a berth in the N a tio n a l In v ita tio n a l Tournament Despite playing at home, the Beavers suffered a 62-61 loss to Nevada-Reno in the firs t round. Worse yet. lightning can strike twice Last year OSU had a banner season, going 26-3 in the regular season and had high hopes in the NCAA tourney OSU lost its opener to Lamar 81-77 and had to watch the rest of the tourney on television The loss took the glim m er off OSU’s first conference championship since 1966. Worse yet, UCLA, just fourth in the Pac-10 Conference, went on to the NCAA finals There have been other disappointments. The 1976 team rolled up an 18-9 record, but had to forfeit 15 of those wins for using big Lonnie Shelton, ruled ineligible And the worst blow of all came in M iller s first year. 1971 The team had a 10-2 record when an automobile accident claimed the life of popular starting guard Mike Keck and injured forward L a rry Webber The shaken Beavers lost 12 of their last 14 games to end the season at 12-14. M ille r's only losing season at OSU Suffice it to say, Oregon State, and the Pac-10 Conference, needed success LCLA has been so dominant, it won every conference title from 1967 to 1979 LCLA compiled a 130-18 record during the past 10 years; OSU was second in the Pac-10 with an 89-59 m ark. .And now the Beavers are No. 1. Do they deserve the ranking’ Many people think not. A lot of coaches do. though, especially after having played the Beavers OSL doesn t have as much individual talent as a DePaul or Virginia, but the Beavers play the team game as well as anyone They may be the best passing team in America, and their defense is certainly no weak point OSU has some backboard deficiencies, but their strong points have made up for it. The Beavers have good balance, with 6- foot-10 Steve Johnson in the middle and the backcourt tandem of Ray Blume and Mark Radford Starting forwards Charlie Sitton and Jeff Stoutt have been plagued by inconsistency this year, but coach Ralph M iller's ace’ in the sleeve is depth He can insert Rob Holbrook for Sitton; Holbrook started last year If Stoutt is cold, in comes Lester Conner, one of the top JC players in the countiy last year If Johnson gets into foul trouble. Senior B ill McShane brings in his aggressive defense and rugged boardwork Remember. McShane led OSU to second in the conference as a starting freshman center Depth has been a key for OSL’ s drive to a second consecutive league title W’hen you rely on team play, you can't have a weak link In the past, the Beavers have had one; hence the losses to the Lamars and Nevada Renos But this season, when one of the Beavers is off. a thoroughly capable sub is waiting on the bench That is a luxury not many coaches have No 1 in the nation. It may not last, but it's a great feeling in the meantime SANO? EAEL.T b ir d s j» n I« lee’ * ¡ Z«9 mn .
