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.
