KrneraUl Sports Writer
Washington State's invading
track team gave Oregon a scare
Saturday afternoon at Hayward
field, but Bill Bovverraan’s Web
foots survived the threat and
went on to pfist a 71-59 victory
over the fired-up Cougars,
The triumph gave the Ducks
their 20th straight dual meet
win, but it was also the smallest
victory margin since 1955.
Only one meet record was set
during the afternoon. Cougar
Steve Frye tossed the shot put 51
feet, 'o inch, to wipe out the old
mark of 51-8. set by WSC’s Burl
Grinds last year.
Oregon picked up its points
in bunches. Sam Taylor, Dave
Edstrom, and Steve Anderson
combined to give the Ducks a
sweep in the broad jump for
the third time this year. Taylor
led the trio with a leap of
22'9" followed by Kdstrom,
22’2”, arid “Andy,” 21’8”.
Davis anil Dave F.dstront clear
ed that height to tit* with Noil
Dahmen and Don treswell.
Davis' second place finish ;va»
a pleasant surprise for !)uek
Ih»ss Hill Kotvcrman. as Davis,
better know n as a basket ball
player, has only been out for
practice a week. His fine per
inance after so little work
leaves Bowerman very opti
mistic about Davis’ future.
I a one oi the day's feature races
Dave Edstrom gained revenge on
U'SC's Spike Arlt in the high
hurdles. Arlt defeated Edstrom
two weeks ago in the Northern
Division relays, but Dave won
easily Saturday, in 15 flat, run
against a stiff wind. Arlt was
second in :15 2.
Besides grabbing a second in
the 220 and a third in the broad
jump. YYebfoot decathlon ace
captured top honors in the cen
tury.
Veteran Jack Morris broke on
top in the hundred, but developed
UP AND OVER goes Oregon's Jack Burg during Saturday’s dual
meet with Washington State, which Webfoots won by comfortable
12-point margin. Veteran I'O pole-vaulter won his specialty with
an effort of 13 ft. 10 inches, adding another first-place to his al
ready long list.
Mark Robbins and tiny Ed
Baldwin also hurt Jack Moober
ry’s club by going one-two in
the two mile, thus outscoring the
visitors, 8-1. Robbins coasted
home the winner in 9:30, fastest
dual meet time of his career, and
Baldwin grabbed second in 9:33
for his fastest time ever.
Oregon picked up seven first
places in the meet, and the vic
tory in the high jump was some
what of a surprise.
Junior Ken Grant, a Canadian
gift to Oregon, was a doubtful
jumper, after fighting a stiff
battle with the flue all week. But
Grant did compete, and when the
crossbar reached 6’2”, Grant was
the only one who could get ovei
it, sick and well included.
There was a four-way tie for
second at 6 feet. Webfoots Otis
a cramp, which slowed him tip
considerably and he did well to
finish thiid. WSC's Don Maw
edged ahead when Morris faded,
but Anderson boomed past the
tiny Cougar in the final 10 yards
for a narrow victory in the time
of :10.2.
Jim Grelle once again picked
up more than his share of the
points, by finishing a planned
second in the mile, and then
coming back 40 minutes later
to run away from all the half
milers in 1:55.3.
Oregon’s other first place came
in the pole vault, where Jack
Burg, improving with every
meet after a slow start, cleared
13'10” for an easy win. Burg just
barely missed in three tires at
the dual meet record height of
14 feet.
