UO swimmers face Huskies Ily RANNV GltKKN Kiiieruld Sports Writer Washington’*! defending North ern Division swimming squad in vades Kugene Friday to meet Don V*m Hossen's Oregon squad at the Men's Pool at 7 p.m. that evening. WASHINGTON has been the perennial Northern Division c h a in p 1 o n and once again this year Jack Turney's s q u a d has been placed In the favorite's role by ND swimming coaches and Northwest sports writers. Dost weekend the Duck mer men participated in the North west A A U Championships In Portland with the Krosh copping a third place finish and the Var sity winning fourth in the final point totals. “Our combined scores would have given us a first place fin ish." Van Rossen said. "However, they (meet officials) separated the Krosh and Varsity team to tals. '' THK AKIM) CLUB of Portland took the title for the two-day meet, garnering 88 points. They were followed closely by the Multnomah Club with 80. A com bined total of the Krosh and Var sity scores would have given the Ducks 106 points. Van Kossen was very happy with the overall team perform ance at last weeks competition , in Portland. “THK TRIP to Hawaii really paid off. Right now we are the best conditioned team In the Northwest." he said. "We completely dominated the freestyle events; in the 400-yard freestyle relay the Krosh set a j new meet record of 3:42.2 break ing OSC's old mark of 3:46.6,” j Van Rossen said. Van Rossen w a * dissatisfied with the performance of his two divers Bob Watts and Rick Fri berg. However, he added, that with some good workouts the pair should be ready for the Washing ton meet. BOTH OF THE ROAKDMKN started the year out well by set ting records in the one and three meter diving competition at the Northern Division Relays in Se attle earlier this month. Besides the record setting Frosh performance in the 400 yard freestyle relay, A1 Takashi rna captured the only other Web foot first place in the Portland meet. He stroked home in front in the 100-yard freestyle. Oregon swimmers, both Frosh and Varsity, also captured several second place finishes. VAN KOS8EN was especially pleased with the performance of Frosh swimmer Dave Boyd in 220-yard freestyle. Boyd swam a 2:16.5 which was a great im provement over his best previous time of 2:22.2 for the event. Speaking of the upcoming meet with the Huskies, Van Rossen said that “the meet will be Wash ington's skilled swimmers against Oregon’s conditioned swimmers.” One of the major differences between the two squads is the amount of top flight swimmers each coach has. Washington has a total team membership of 28 and a traveling squad of 18. Van Rossen has only 12 varsi ty mermen on hia squad. EVEN WITH thla amall aquad, Van Koaaen thinka his mermen can give the Huskies a good meet. The team has been working long and hard for this first meet of competition, and after the suc C e a s f u 1 Hawaiian conditioning trip and their top performances at the AAU championships last weekend they should be at or near their peak for this meet. Van Itosaen is very hopeful that University students, alumni, and fans will attend this opening meet Friday night. "It would sure boost the moral of this team if we had a good turnout for the meet. This team has really worked hard for the meet. They have in reality spent over a year readying for this meet, for none of the meets last year were in actual competition," Van Rossen said. VAN ROSSEN cited that at tendance is very high for swim ming meets of the California. Big Ten, and the Ivy League schools.

In Los Angeles Invitational •. • Gre//e, Burleson to run Picking up where they left off last year at Philadelphia, Ore gon’s two ace distance men, Jim Grelle and Dyrol Burleson enter their first major competition of the 1900 track season Friday evening in Los Angeles. THE OCCASION is the first annual Los Angeles Invitational Indoor track meet at the new Los Angeles Sports Arena. Among some of the finest track talent in the country will be the best from the state of Oregon, including Oregon State’s sensational fresh man hurdler, Steve Pauly. Oregon’s Roscoe Cook, unfor tunately, will not make the trip south because of the same skin rash that kept him out of the NCAA championships last spring. Cook, had he been heal thy for this one, would have been considered one of the favorites to take top honors on the indoor boards. The indoor meet poses several problems for Oregon’s two dis tance runners, Greile and Burle son. In the first place, the com petition will be some of the stiff est either runner has faced in quite a while. The second prob lem for the two runners are the indoor boards themselves. GKKLLE goes at the difficult | 1,000 yard run against a field that will Include both half milers • and milers. He will, in short, be facing runners who will be using both sprint and endurance tac tics to win the event. Kurieson, no stranger to the j mile run, will be making his first1 appearance at this distance on the boards. Grelle, who made the i same switch to the indoor boards \ last spring in the East, found the i change from the bigger outdoor tracks to the curvy indoor boards a big one. Jim managed to finish well in his indoor performances last year, but the job may pose a bigger problem for the leas ex perienced Burleson. In the mile, Burleson will face some of the very best runners in the nation in Ed Moran, and ex UCLA star Bobby Seamon. Bxg-' gest threat, however, should come from Sweden’s Dan Waem. a runner who has broken the four-minute barrier on several oc casions (his best is 3:59.2) and has run the 1500 meters in 3:40.7. Burleson, in the 1500 meters has turned in a best of 3:48 flat. For Burleson, the competition will be tougher than anything he faced against the Russians in Philadelphia last summer. THE BIGGEST thing in Burle son’s favor in his first big race of the year is the fact that he has been able to run as fast as neces sary in order to win in the past. If the pace has been fast. Burly has kicked in the stretch to over come it. Pauly, Oregon State’s entrant in the meet, will be carrying a bagful of high school laurels into the competition. As a prep at Beaverton High (Portland) last spring, Pauly established a new American High School record for the 120 yard high hurdles. He clipped the old mark"by one-tenth of a second, finishing in 13.8. Grelle and Burleson are sched ule to race again on the Los An geles boards on February 13 in the Los Angeles Times meet.
