Recount Gives Webfoots Tenth Straight Oregon Squeaks to Far West Win By BOB HERNDON Assistant Sports Editor Although there was some con fusion as to the winner in Satur day's Far West track and field championships, a thorough check of the records eventually put Ore gon on top for their 10th straight Far West crown. However, the Ducks had to come from behind to do it as they trailed Oregon State throughout three-fourths of the meet. The Webfoots started strong, but a series of upsets put the Duck's crown in serious jeopardy. Mel Renfro, suffering from a sore left knee for the last three weeks, just couldn’t seem to get going Saturday. The Webfoot cin der ace placed third in the broad jump, and was barely nipped at the tape in the high hurdles by Washington State’s Jim Allen. Duck Mile Dominance Ends Oregon State’s flashy sopho more distance sensation Morgan Groth ended a long string of Ore gon dominance in the mile by de feating Archie San Romani. Groth turned in a fine 58.7 lap to give him a 4:03.3 clocking for his four trips around the Roger’s Field oval. The mark broke the meet record set by Oregon’s Dyrol Bur leson in 1961 of 4:05.6. A pair of Oregon Staters also shocked the Webfoots in the 880. Norm Hoffman and Groth teamed up in the 880 to give the Beavers a 1-2 finish a good five yards ahead of Oregon's Ray Van Asten Things weren’t all milk and honey for the Beavers either as they failed to finish in the 440 yard relay. Leading the race on the second leg. Oregon State’s Frank Marsh approached Roger Herbert to pass the baton, but Herbert failed to hang onto the stick as the rest of the field raced off to the finish line. The lost baton cost the Beavers valuable points while the Ducks finished second behind Washing ton State to pick up four points. While many favorites were tak ing drubbings throughout the meet. Dave Steen turned in two superb performances in both the shot and the discus. Steen cracked the 60-foot barrier again with a toss of 60'2'\ His best of the day came in the discus, however. Throwing the discus for only the third time this season, Steen shattered meet, field, and school marks with a mighty throw of 177-14. bettering his own school record of 174-7 set last March in the California meet. Blunt Improves Dave Blunt. Oregon sophomore speedster, absorbed his first loss in nine starts when Washington’s Jerry Plowman beat him in the hundred with a 9 4 clocking In the 220, however, it was Blunt all the way. Blunt won easily snapping the tape in 21.3 well ahead of Idaho’s Bob John son. The best individual perform ance of the day was Brian Stern berg’s 16 feet 4 inch leap in the pole vault. Although the height was almost five inches below the University of Washington sopho more's best, the mark snapped the meet record of 15-334. After four events, the Ducks were well in front of the Beavers, but then the near fatal upsets be gan to occur. By the end of twelve events, the Ducks were behind 52-44. and it was clear tha’t nothing but a near Webfoot sweep in the final five events could pull it out for the Ducks. Gerry Moro finished third in the pole vault and Marty Frank fin ished in a tie for fourth to cut the margin to five points. A one-two finish by Terry Llewellyn and Paul Stuber in the high jump gave the Ducks the lead 574 544, and Webfoot victory in the discus, and Clayton Steinke’s win in the three mile topped off with an upset win over Oregon State in the mile relay put it away for the Ducks. Frosh Nine Wins Five, Loses One By JANET O’DELL Emerald Sports News Editor Oregon’s frosh baseballers boosted their record to 14-6 by racking up five wins while losing only one in four days. After taking a doubleheader from Linfield Wednesday, the Ducklings avenged a loss dealt them a week ago by OSU by whipping the rooks, 19-11, Thursday. Oregon hurler Hoyt DeMers came in the first and went the rest of the way to get the win. The Frosh came through with a ninth-inning rally in re Snell Outlasts Burly in LA As many of the track and field experts had predicted, the mile of the century turned out to be just another mile last Friday night in Los Angeles. Although some felt that a world record was in the offering, many said that it would be a battle of the strategists. It was just that, and Peter Snell re mains the top strategist and the world’s best miler. Snell kicked it into high gear in the last 220 yards to over-come Loyola's Tom O’Hara and with stood a determined challenge from former Oregon miler Dyrol Burleson to win in 4:00.3 Burle son finished lVz yards back in 4:00.8. O’Hara seemed to be an unwill ing pace -setter as he led the mil ers to a slow 62.1 first quarter. He held the lead at the half-mile in a time of 2:04.2, and at the three quarter mark in 3:06.5. With 660 yards to go, Burleson burst past Bobby Seaman to move into third place. In doing so, Bur ly was accidentally spiked by Sea man on his left instep. Burly was helped from the track on a stretcher after crossing the finish line. Snell was clocked in 53.6 for the final 440, while Burleson ran a 53.8 and O’Hara a 55.5. cording a comeirom-uemnu victory over Clark Junior College Friday. The Penguins led 3-2 going into the final frame, but Oregon came up with two runs after pinch hitter Jim Frazier walked to lead off the rally. Lar ry Parducci went in as a pinch runner for Frazier and was sent to third on Gordon Avery’s sin gle. Avery got caught in a run down between first and second: in the meantime, Parducci tallied to knot the score, and Avery wound up safe at second. Seeking the double-play, the Clark pitcher intentionally walked Dick Ogan to put runners on first and second Jack Disher then slashed a single to right with Avery advancing to third after which he scored on a catcher’s overthrow. Mick Dowers, who hurled a no hitter for the Ducklings Tuesday, scattered six hits to cop the win Friday. In the opener of Saturday’s twin bill, Clark racked up six runs on six hits in the fourth to provide the winning margin, as Oregon was defeated, 9-6. Tom Grief was tabbed with the loss. Pacing the Frosh hitting was Rich Armstrong, who went two for four at the plate. DeMers hit and pitched him self to another win in the night cap, as the righthander tossed a three-hitter while collecting two hits in three trips in the 6-1 win. ! v’v:£—AiA—... .

Defense Keys Duck Victory While hundreds of others were sun bathing, swimming, and water skiing. Saturday, a few tons of football flesh were having at it on Hayward Field In the process of the survival of the fittest the Oregon Duck varsity outlasted the Oregon Alumni, 14-6, in a battle of springtime errors Though one might surmise that the weather played a great part ip the varsity’s win, to the casual observer it didn’t appear that w’ay. The win is more an attribute to Oregon’s alert defensive ac tions, rather than a factor of out conditioning the "old boys ” Varsity Intercepts Five The Alums were able to rush for only 45 yards against the Duck defense, while the varsity rushed for 165 yards. Both varsity touchdowms came as a result of stray passes from Alum quarter backs Dave Grosz and Jack Crab tree In all, the varsity intercep ted five passes. In the first quarter, Oliver Mc Kinney intercepted one of Grosz’s aerials on the Oregon 39 The ball was batted into the air, and Mc Kinney alertly grabbed it before it fell to the turf. Terry DeSylvia guided the var sity from here on in With a third down and eight yards-to-go situa tion, DeSylvia faded to pass, found all his receivers covered, and ran for 17 yards and a first down On the next series of downs, DeSylvia fired a five-yard strike to end Rich Schwab on a third down and five situation. Stratten Scores Second TI) Late in the second quarter, de fensive linebacker Ron Stratten grabbed off a Crabtree pass and rumbled 25 yards for the score. Buck Corey kicked his seronri con version of the day to make it 14-0. But the Alums came back to make it 14-6 before the first half was over. Ron Veres, second-//'.ring quarterback behind Bob Berry last year, hit halfback Ben Brown with a 10-yard pass over the ir.’d die and Brown outran the varsity defenders for a 59-yard touch down play. Jack Morris’ conver sion attempt was wide and fhe half ended, 14-6. McKinney Snuns inreat McKinney put down ihe last Alumni threat in the fourth quar ter as he snagged a Crabtree pass on the varsity 13, after Jim Shan ley, Duane Cargill, and Herman McKinney had carried the Alums that far with their running. Varsity left halfback Lu Bain was the rushing leader with 45 yards. Larry Hill ran for 33 yards to give Bain ample support. Car gill led the Alumni with 40 yards, and Shanley was second with 31. Veres accounted for 117 of the Alumni’s 122 passing yards.
