Jones, at 6-foot-4,210 pounds, averaged 18.6 points per game and helped lead the Ducks to the final eight of the NCAA tourna ment. Jones went to Barlow High School in Gresham. He did not live up to his poten tial during his first three years at Oregon, but he came on strong as a senior. He started all but two games, when he was benched af ter a slow start. He responded to the message sent by coach Ernie Kent and helped the Ducks win their first outright conference title in 57 years. He also hit his first game-win ning basket, with one second left at USC in a 67-65 victory. The Ducks clinched the Pac-10 title outright two days later, when Jones hit the cl inching basket in a 65-62 victory over UCLA. With the Pacers, Jones will join ex-Trail Blazer Jermaine O ’Neal. Freddie Jones Venus Williams Sails Into Semifinals (A P)— Venus Williams swept to another easy straight-set v ic tory Tuesday as she m oved into the sem ifinals and closer to her third straight W im bledon title. The to p -seed ed W illiam s, who has dropped one set in five m atches, crushed 48th-ranked Elena Likhovtseva 6 -2,6-0 in 44 m inutes in the d ay ’s opening match on Centre Court. It was W illiam s’ eighth con secutive win over the R ussian, all in straight sets. L ik h o v ts e v a , th e o n ly unseed-ed player to reach the w om en’s quarters, was helpless against the A m erican’s relent less pow er game and won only seven points in the second set. ,“I'm ju st trying to play more solid every round, garner each point for myself,’’ W illiams said. “W hen it happens like it did today, it’s very nice 1 think. I d o n ’t think she gave me a lot of errors. I had to produce most of the shots and put a lot o f pres sure on her.” W illiam s has spent only 4‘/2 hours on court in her run to the sem ifinals and rem ains a strong favorite to becom e the first woman to win three straight titles since Steffi G raf in 1991- 93. “Now I expect for m yself to be alm ost perfect,” she said. “W hen I first started, first get ting to the quarterfinals, it was all new. But now 1 expect to be there.” W illiam s w ill next face the w inner o f the quarterfinal be tween No. 4 M onica Seles and No. 6 Justine H enin, whom she beat in last y ear’s final. No. 3 Jennifer Capriati was to resume her fourth-round match against Eleni Daniilidou after split ting the first two sets Monday. W illiam s' sister, Serena, is sc h e d u le d to p la y D a n ie la H antuchova in a quarterfinal W ednesday. The W illiam s sis ters are on course to meet in theirthird Grand Slam final in 10 m onths.
