By Jerry Claussen
Emerald Sports Editor
A favored Oregon track team
had a tougher time than expected
Saturday at the Northern Divi
sion meet at Seattle, but a vic
tory in the mile relay gave the
Ducks their second title in a
row by less than three points
over Washington.
Duck distance star Ken Reiser
broke the Oregon and ND two
mile record with a brilliant 9:11.2
and Jim Bailey and Bill Dellinger
each tied old league marks in
the 880 and mile run for the
winning Oregon team.
It was Bailey who provided
the winning margin for Coach
Bill Bowerman's team when
he edged Washington’s Henry
Banks on the final lap of the
mile relay. Through the first
14 events it was anyone’s meet
with Oregon only of a point
ahead of the Huskies going
into the relay.
The meet ran pretty much to
form as Washington State fin
ished third with 39 >-4 points. Ida
ho and Oregon State tied for
fourth with 11 points apiece.
Oregon's total was 53'4 while
Washington ended up with 501 -j.
Both Oregon and Washington
were hampered by the loss of
an expected point-maker before!

ND Divot Crown
Won by Huskies
Washington won its fourth
Northern Division golf tourna
ment championship in five years
Saturday when the Husky divot
ers fired a 578 for a one-stroke
margin over Oregon State.
Oregon, the defending cham
pion in the 36-hole medal play
meet, was jinxed again by the
tricky Idaho course that wps
swept by wind during the two
days and finished last, one stroke
behind Idaho.
Huskies Flay Consistently
The winning Washington team
regained its conference golf
title from Oregon by consistent
playing throughout the 36 holes
played by each of the four-man
team. No Husky score was high
er than 74 for the 18 holes and
every man finished with 36-hole
totals between 141 and 147.
Jerry Cloninger, OSC’s bril
lians junior shotmaker, paced
the Beavers to second place with
the best individual performance
of the tournament. The Idaho
and Montana opens champion
shot a red-hot 35-29-64 on the
short Idaho course in the morn
ing and added a 71 in the after
noon for a 135. only two strokes
above Dick Yost's 1949 record.
Duck Golfers Choke
Oregon’s four-man team would
have done much better if each
could have repeated his best
round. Captain Neil Dwyer had
a 77-73-150. Barry Ott shot 71
80-151, Bob Takano scored 80
74-154 and Bob Norquist record
ed 74-80-154.
