A Palm Springs Vacation?
Golfers Enter PAC Meet
Oregon’s golf team invades
southern California this weekend
to face the stillest competition
of the season.
The Ducks are entered in the
Pacific Athletic Conference cham
pionships at Indian Wells Coun
try Club in Palm Springs.
Southern California's Trojans
are the consensus favorite to cap
ture the team title in the tour
ney, but the Trojans will be hard
pressed by Stanford. Oregon. Cal
ifornia and UCLA. The Indians
are the only collegiate team to
post a victory over Southern Cal
this season, as they handed the
Trojans a 16-11 setback two
weeks ago. California came within
a whisker of upsetting the Tro
jans. but the Bears dropped their
match to USC on the 18th green,
Oregon golf coach Elwood Kret
singer takes what must be de
scribed as one of his best teams
to the conference tourney. The
Webfoots are led by Bill Ward
and John Hedlund, both of whom
have averaged around 71 strokes
a round in competition this sea
son.
Kretsinger's six-man team is
rounded out by Tom Kabler, Bill
DeBellis. Ralph Schafer, and Hu
bert Harris.
Kretsinger feels his club has
a good chance for the team title,
if USC and Stanford should fal
ter.
Oregon has a 11-4-1 record this
season, having lost only to Mon
tana. Idaho. Seattle, and Port
land State, while tying Washing
ton in a match at the Eugene
Country Club. The Webfoots lat
er reversed the decision to Port
land State, and beat Washington
in a match at Corvallis.
The conference tournament,
hosted by UCLA, will be staged
on a course which ranks as one
of the toughest in the nation.
Indian Wells is one of the
regular stops on the Professional
Golf Association tour, and the col
legians can expect it to be as
tough or tougher for them as the
professionals.
The teams will literally be
‘•sweating it out” at Palm
Springs, as the California desert
city has had 100-degree weather

UO Enters Net Tourney;
UCLA Heavy Favorite
Art Ashe is the second seeded
tennis player in the United
States right now.
And his interests this week
end will center on retaining his
reputation as one of UCUA s all
time finest netters, as the Pa
cific Athletic Conference tennis
championships get under way in
Los Angeles Friday.
But Ashe is only one member
of a Bruin squad which is unde
feated in dual-match play, and
remains the heavy favorite to de
throne lBfi.'t conference champion
Southern California.
Oregon tennis coach Dick Wil
liams takes five members of his
team to the tournament, but the
Wehfoot mentor candidly admits
that USC and UCLA "will com
pletely dominate the tourna
ment.”
Outside Chance
Williams noted that Stanford
may have an outside chance, hut
he concluded that even the In
dians’ chances were dependent
on the tourney's place drawings
for opening rounds.
William's squad will be with
out the services of Mike Brun
dage, who will be with the foot
hall team. But the Duck coach
will take his four sophomores
Brian Laurie, Mike Donnelly, Bill
Miller and Jeff Lewis — plus se
nior ace Dick Stark.
Top Competitors
Ashe isn't the only top rated
performer Oregon might face in
action. Stanford, a team which
blanked Oregon in a match last
weekend, boasts the second best
netter on the coast in the per
son of Jim Beate. Washington will
be paced by Dave Leaver and
Jim Aikins.
Southern California will pre
sent one of its usual fine teams,
although the Trojans are with
out the services of Dennis Ral
ston this season Ralston, who
captured singles honors in the
PAC meet last season, graduated.
Competition is set for Friday
and Saturday at the Los Angeles
Tennis Club courts, with South
ern California the host for the
1965 tournament
