Eight schools including Oregon
will be represented. The meet will
feature three PCI. one AAU. and
one NAIA champions.
THE TOURNAMENT will be
held in three sessions beginning

points will be compiled, but indi
vidual awards will be presented
in each weight class.
Saturday’s action will be the
first of the season for coach Mike
Reuter's varsity and freshmen
teams. Early as it is in the season
the Duck team has already suf
fered badly from injuries.
TWO WRESTLERS are out for
the season because of injuries,
and another Oregon man may
miss tomorrow's action because
of a skin rash.
Team captain Ron Connor in
jured his back in a mill accident
last term, and Jerry Mesecher
suffered a shoulder injury this
week. Both men will be lost to
the team for the season. Lanny
Holmes has a bad skin rash, but
may be able to compete.
OREGON wrestling fans will
get their first chance this year
to observe the abilities of the
state's two strongest squads, the
Ducks and the Oregon State Bea
vers. Oregon State is the strong
favorite in the meet.
The Beavers have two PCI
champions and one national AAU
champion. Portland State and
Pacific University also boast PCI
champs on their squads.
CHAMPIONS from Oregon
State are Mitzy Tamura at 123
pounds and Don Conway at 191
pounds. Conway was the 177 PCI
titlist last year.
Also wrestling for OSC is na
tional AAU champion h ntz Ftv
ian. He is fro m Switzerland
where he was the 167 pound na
tional champion. Fivian will be
wrestling in the 177 pound class
Saturday.
Other PCI title-holders who
add to the prestige and import
ance of tomorrow’s tournament
are 130 pound Gary Hoagland
from Portland State and heavy
weight Charles Peterson from Pa
cific. Peterson won his crown in
the 191 class last year.
Oregon College of Education is
sending the NAIA (small college!
147 pound titlist Tony Cutsforth.
WEBFOOT’S strength Satur
day will rest in 115 pound Gary
Park who was third place on the
coast in 1958: 130 pound Joe
McFarland, an outstanding so
phomore prospect; 147 pound
Gary Wilson another outstanding
soph; and Garry Stensland who
was third in the PCI meet last
year at heavyweight. Stensland
will probably be seeded first place
in the heavy division.
Tomorrow's meet has many
stand-out competitors who were
not coast or national champs, but
could surprise some of the
champs. Foremost in this cate
gory are Autry Ehler. 167 pound
er from Portland State who was
an alternate on the United States
Pan-American Games team, and
Oregon’s own Stensland who will
probably be seeded above a form

Oregon's varsity swimming
team returned to the campus
Monday after spending two week*
in Hawaii training for the upcom
ing Northern Division season.
Coach Don Van Rossen and IS
mermen made the trip. The group
paid their own way in a precedent
setting trip. They left Portland
by plane on December 20.
Besides spending much of the
tUne training for the upcoming
ND season they competed in the
Dolphin International Invita
tional Swim Meet in Honolulu.
They competed with many of the
top Hawaiian mermen in this
meet.
THE DOLPHIN MEET was
held in the Richardson Pool, a 50
meter outdoor pool in Pearl Har
bor.
Two Oregon mermen won top
places in their events in the two
day meet. A1 Takashima captur
ed the 50 and 100-yard freestyle
championships, and team captain,
Tom Herman captured a tie for
first place one evening.
Van Rossen was very pleased
with treatment accorded the
squad and also added that the
squad was beginning to round
into pretty good shape for the
upcoming season.
THE TRIP was a happy home-,
coming for two island boys. Ta
kashima who lives in Honolulu
and Bob Kawachika who resides
in Hilo, Hawaii.
The meet was divided into
several age brackets. The Ducks
were awarded the Aloha Trophy 1
for the senior division.
Van Rossen said, “There were
no outstanding times but the boys ;
turned in good performances."
VAN ROSSEN ADDED, "We
hope to turn out in Hawaii every
year just as the Eastern schools!
train each winter in Florida now.
| The opportunity to work outdoors
will perhaps give us an edge over
! nations like Mexico when it comes
! to international competition.”
The mermen worked out twice
daily in the new Farrington Hotel
pool in Honolulu. They worked
on exercises and water workouts
in an 11 a.m. session. The after
noon workout consisted of two
miles of sand running, 30 minutes
of continuous hard exercises, and
one mile of continuous distance
swimming in the ocean.
OTHER MEMBERS making
the trip included the following:

Rhoades, backstroke; Jerry
