Oregon's wrestling squad won’t
have much chance to rest after it
meets Portland State Friday after
noon.
Hale Thomas will see to that.
Thomas, head mat coach of the
Oregon State grappling team,
brings his Heavers to McArthur
Court Saturday for an B pm.
match with the Ducks. And he’ll
be bringing a team that owns a
7 .’t record; a team that just fin
(shed a road trip to the tough
wrestling country of the south
west, winning two out of five
matches; and a team that is the j
ueicnoing I'AC champs.
“OSU is strong," said Oregon
coach Art Keith this week.
"They’ve beaten Central Wash
ington real had and Central was
a Utile too much for us to han
dle ’’
If tin1 comparison of the two
meets is valid, then Keith will
have a right to worry. The Ducks
were beaten by Central Washing

Not Since 1957
Oregon hasn’t defeated the
Heavers in the mat sport since
1057, when the Ducks held a 14
l.’l edge. Hut that fact doesn't
seem to bother Keith.
“I think we'll surprise Oregon
State,” Keith said. “We’ll be ready
for ’em. We’re not going to lie
down for them.”
But that match is scheduled for
Saturday and, as Keith says,
‘We’ll take ’em one at a time.”
The Ducks travel to Portland Fri
day for a 3:30 p.m. match with
the Vikings, the same squad Ore
gon edged last week in McArthur
Court, 19 14.
“They’re going to change their
lineup and he after us,” added
Keith. “But if we can get the
kind of performance I’m expect
ing, we could do well.”
Keith, whose squad holds a 5 2

The wrestling team travels to
Portland for the afternoon Vik
ing match.
The last time the Vikings and
the Ducklings met was one week
ago in Eugene. And that con
test ended in an 18-18 deadlock
"Both teams will be trying hard
to win this." remarked Oregon
roach Art Keith. "I know we can
do better I.ast week, we were
in really poor condition. Since
then we've i>een running a lot. I
hope it'll show.
"Portland State has long been
a wrestling power (the Viks won
the NAIA tourney last year) and
they're used to having successful
freshman teams. So we've got a
job to do.”
Freshman gymnastics coach
John Sampson is preparing his
boys for an encounter with South
Eugene and David Douglas high
schools . . . two schools which are
expected to have the field to them
selves in the battle for the state
high school crown next month.
The frosh sipiad, on the other
hand, is "extremely thin.”
Since the team lost all-around
i performer Bob Leech through
I academic difficulties, Sampson's
! squad has been reduced to five
men.
One of those men, Wayne
Noecker, can be counted on to
give South and Douglas as much
as they can handle. Two weeks
ago in a tri-dual meet, Noecker
won the all-around twice, and
compositely placed first in 11 of
the 14 events.
In addition. Sampson says,
"Spence Kissler has been improv
ing tremendously on the still
rings We might pick up a first
there. Dennis Schuideisz. our floor
man, is also looking good."
Last year the frosh did not
meet South but beat Douglas.
48‘i-47l£. “I don't think it can
be much closer,” observed Samp
son. "But we'll be trying to win.”
The meet starts at 9 a m. Sat
urday in McArthur Court.

dual meet record thus far this
season, will start the same lineup
that defeated PSC and Oregon
College of Education last week.
Squad Listed
Grant Henjyoji, with a 3-4 rec
ord, will wrestle at 123 pounds;
Curt Scott, 7-0, at 130; Doug Ro
bertson, 4-2-1, at 137; Steffen Cri
ner, 4-3, at 145; Craig Caster, 2-5,
at 152; John Malpass, 1-4 at 160;
Bob Mitchell, 4-2-1, at 167; Bruce
Glenn, 4-0, at 177; and Bob Law
rence, 5-2, at heavyweight.
Glenn, who has won three of
his four bouts by fall, sat out a
three-match road trip a couple
of weeks ago because of a leg
injury. But, according to Keith,
Glenn's “coming along much bet
ter; his injury is pretty well
along.” The coach continued,
'Everybody’s healthy.”
Keith graduated from Oregon
State with his bachelor's degree
a year before Thomas arrived as
head coach of the Beaver team.
Keith wrestled for OSU, earning
individual coast championship
honors three different years.
And so he’ll be meeting the
team Saturday for which he has
competed. “I think this situation
heightens the interest a little,”
commented Keith, “and makes the
Jesire to win a little higher.”
No New Occurrence
It’s not a new occurrence for
the Oregon coach. Keith coached
three high school teams in a
period of nine years and saw a
lot of his performers compete
with others he had tutored pre
viously.
“I’ve moved around so much,”
Keith said, “I’m kind of getting
used to wrestling against coaches
and kids I’ve worked with be
fore.”
Portland State will be looking
for a win in its match with the
Ducks Friday, having lost to Ore
gon last weekend. Two of the top
grapplers for Howard Westcott's
team are Rick Sanders and Ma
sarvo Yatabe. Sanders and Ore
gon's Henjyoji will likely square
off again in a rematch while Ya
tabe could wrestle any one of
two or three Oregon middle
weights.
Henjyoji stayed with Sanders
through the third round until San
ders, leading 8-2, slapped a pin
ning combination on the Duck
wrestler in the final minute of
the match for the fall.
Yatabe defeated Robertson in
a close match, 2-1.
