OREGON OUT LASTS U.P. WOMEN
An important imported Austra
lian player who just cleared for eligi
bility made a positive impact as the
Oregon w om en's basketball team out
lasted the University o f Portland 63-
61 at Mac Arthur Court.
Sally Crowe who was unable to
practice dur to her status, didn't know
the offensive play and admitted that
her defense was more hard work than
finesse was able to still make some
valuable contributions to the Bea
vers win.
Oregon (2-1) dominated the first
half and looked as if they were going
to win going away.
The Pilots were able to shake off
their early cold shooting to make a
game o f it in the final minutes.
The Pi lots coach Jim Sol lars was
at a lost to explain the Pilots perfor
mance. The lost also marred a prom
ising season start for the U O f P
women basketball season (4 -2)offto
it best start in years.
The Pilots high-scoring duo of
Amy Claboe and W endy Toonen
were effectively shut down, and the
team didn't play with confidence until
it was to late. “They seem intimidat
ed" Sollars said “ I think its the old
PAC 10 mystique. They didn’t think
they could play with them.
“ We rush a lot o f shots and when
Oregon she was ready.
“ Its always been som ething that
interested me - the bands, the crow ds"
Crowe said “when I toured last No
vember, we played Stanford, U.S.C.,
U.C.L.A. I got a look at the PAC 10
and thought “hey thats good.”
Not being able to practice and
only able to observe led to a lot of
rough spots in Crowes game Forward
Arianne Boyer who had 13 points said
“ I think Sally from watching her to
night, is a really tough worker. Half
the time we were saying “Sally go
here, Sally go over there. But she is so
experienced. Oregon had to rely on
some of that experience as Portland
who was outgunned in the first half
shooting 7-30 for 23% from the field
compared to Oregon who at 53% effi
ciency led at half time 40-27.
The margin o f comfort seemed
pretty secure until Toonen hit her
you rush shots needlessly, you don’t
make them.
On the other hand coach Jody
Runge o f O regon was less than
pleased wth the Ducks performance
as she watched them squander a 12
point lead with 8 minutes in the game
left then struggle to hold on for a two
point win.
Crowe 21 had been in Eugene
only two weeks and hadn't even prac
tice before donning her uniform Sat
urday. She was 1 o f 4 from the field,
6 for 6 from the if eethrow line and
contributed on defense with four
steals, and by disrupting Portland’s
offense. The Australian connection
starts with center Renae Fegent also
from Australia. Fegent played with
Crowe on state teams when both were
teenagers. Crowe had toured the
United States with club team. When
Runge contacted her about playing at

and as Portland's Peterson started to
run the ball down court, Crowe
reached and made her final steal o f
the game. Icing the game for Oregon.
kept the Warriors in the game by
scoring Cleveland's first six points.
The Broncos had numerous
chances to capitalize on the inside
game but were unable to convert.
In the second half Cleveland
came out with aone-three-one zone.
It seem to confuse the Broncos.but
they were able to get within 5
several times in the second half,
mostly of the shooting o f Yaphet
Griffin (19). Griffin however got
his fourth foul in with less than 20
seconds left in the third quarter.
When be did re-enter in the
fourth he injured his back on a hus
tle play trying to keep the ball in
bounds. Last word during the game
was that he had feeling in his legs
but was unable to move them. He
was removed by paramedics on a
stretcher.
Without Griffin in the game
the Warriors were able to pull away
unabated.
“They (Parkrose) shot the ball
well from the outside. They play
very hard and very well" said Cleve
land head coach Tom Beatty. “We
feel bad about Griffin we don’t want
anyone to get hurt.
Asked about his season's goal
as one of the top ranked team ’s in
the P EL. “Our goal is to make it to
the play-off. I don’t think we played
well tonight, I think we were show
ing signs o f fatigue and being tire
from play last night.
