By LARKY GRAVES Emerald Sports Editor "■ C. K. Yang One of the fascinating aspects of track and field is the tendency of a track crowd to take one of the athletes to heart during a meet. It usually turns out that the whole group will pick the same athlete as their favorite and prac tically cheer him on to bigger and better things. Dyrol Burleson is generally in this position with Eugene fans. Whenever he takes off on his patented stretch kick, the fans immediately succumb to some kind of hysteria and cheer him on to victory. The same thing happened at the Indoor Meet in Portland, only this time it was C. K. Yang who the fans supported. He received wild applause when he was first introduced and every time he successfully made a vault the crowd practical ly went wild. After his record effort he received a long standing ovation and after he made his three futile attempts at 18-5 he also got an ovation Later on in the evening, the public address announcer said that the fans should stay in their seats to find out who was selected as the meet’s outstanding athlete. This drew plenty of laughter from the audience since their boy K was naturally the recipient. We expect that this support that Yang drew from the crowd was one of the chief factors that contributed to his world record. What inspires this devotion of an athlete would be an interesting study and there is no doubt that it i.s responsible for some fine performances. An interesting sidelight to Yang’s effort was the fact that he had only vaulted 14-7 in competition before the Portland meet It also was the second time that he had ever used a fiberglass pole in a meet. Dav3 Steen The other big event of the meet was Dave Steen’s first sixty-foot shot put It was Steen’s first time at 60 feet but he showed lie s ready to stay there as he was consistently over that mark. Look for even better things from Steen during the spring season Carl Cluff of the Oregon Journal pointed out that Steen has improved almost ten feet since his freshman year at Oregon. Ten feet in three years is quite an improvement and it doesn't look like the end is in sight Bounce Ball Oregon’s basketball team didn't quite make it up to an even 7-7 win-loss record in their game with Washington. They had the chance to but weren’t able to capitalize on it. Just after the halftime, the Ducks spurted into the lead but their defense fell apart and the Huskies opened up a big lead It was particularly disappointing that defense was the losing factor for the Ducks since Coach Steve Belko had done such a fine scouting job on the Washington offense. We watched practice the two nights before the game and we didn't see the Huskies doing much that Belko hadn't had the Oregon third-stringers doing in the practice sessions. The Webfoots are going to have to play quite a bit more consistently if they hope to salvage anything out of their next six games when they play five on the road against California, Idaho and Oregon State. Tough teams all. Marty Frank One disappointment for Oregon fans in the Indoor Meet last Saturday was Marty Frank, who decided after warmups that he wasn’t ready to compete this season and scratched himself from the pole vault. Frank was the leading vaulter on Oregon’s NCAA championship team last season, but is going to face stiff competition for the number-one spot this year from sophomore Gerry Moro. Both Frank and Moro are ready to hit the 15-foot mark anytime now, which should give the Duck cindermen some added strength in the pole vault. Moro has competed in the British Empire Games and a meet in Toronto already this winter, so Frank had better get ready to do a little vaulting if he expects to stay with his teammate. Extra Duties An added highlight to the track meet was the fine per formance of Gov. Mark Hatfield in the shot put. Hatfield served as a judge in that event and did an excellent job of holding the tape measure while the various tosses were measured. Probably some of the friends of higher education in Oregon would like to see Hatfield take up shot put judg ing as a full-time job. Wayne Morse To Visit For IRL Conference Sen. Wayne L.

IEC Announces Change in Flight The charter flight to Europe sponsored by the International Education Center has been re scheduled for a West coast de parture rather than the East coast departure as previously an nounced. IEC director Gary McCormack said the flight cost will be in creased from S254 to $340 for the different route. The plane will l"ave June 1 from Vancouver, B.C , arriving in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The return flight will be Sept. 14 from Copenhagen, Denmark, to New York City. The new sche dule will give passengers about a week and a half more in Europe than with the original plan. McCormack said the change was made to benefit participants on the West coast who will save money by not having to arrange 'ransportation to New York The previous schedule called for a -ound trip, New York-Amsterdam, June 15 to Sept 3. ‘ The flight changes are better all around,” said McCormack, since transportation to New York is usually SI64 by plane for an individual. The increase amounts to S86 and the flight will probably be non-stop, he added. Anyone interested in the new flight is urged to contact the IEC office. 309 SU, 3-5 Monday through Friday One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch The Soviet novel about which everyone is talking.
