After last week'll tight victory
over Oregon State, Oregon's
swimmers must have decided they
don't like close meets.
Coach Don Van Hessen's fired
up swimming team unleashed an
attack that completely outclassed
tough W a a h i n g t o n, 62-33, at
Leighton Pool Saturday.
The hoys were pretty excited,"
stated Van Rossen "We knew wo
had to catch them early.”
They caught the Huskies as
early as they could, in the meet’s
opening event the 400 yard mod
ley relay
The Wohfoot relay team, made
up of Jud Shtittx, Hob firock
house, Monty Holding, and Dave
MacKenzie, won the event in
3 49 5
Their time was only two tenths
of a second off the meet record of
3 49 3 set by Oregon last year
Washington finished in 3:51 l
"The win in the medley set us
off," stated Van Rossen. who
praised MacKen/ie's |>erformancc
on the last leg of the relay
i At this point, Husky standouts
Aldy Meinhardt and Tim Koark
; led a comeback that threatened
to overtake the Ducks.
Meinhardt opened Washington’s
i scoring by winning the 200 yard
freestyle in a strong 1:50.3, and
captured first in the 200 yard
butterfly in 2:03.1.
Koark placed first in the 200
| yard individual medley in 2:00 4
His time broke the meet record
of 2 OH set by Oregon’s Dick Boyd
I in 1004
The performances of Roark and
Meinhardt, along with Dan Hull's
first in the three meter diving,
closed Oregon's lead to 30 22.
"Meinhardt and Roark are just
outstanding swimmers,” praised
Van Rossen
After Washington’s brief come
back fell short, Oregon took over
again, winning with amazing con
sistency.
One-Two Bunch Wins
Webf o o t swimmers finished
one two in each of the next four
events to put the meet out of
reach.
I Bon Smith and Bruce Hess
heat out Husky Art Kauffman in
the 100-yard freestyle in what
appeared to be a dead tie. Smith
was timed in 51.6, Hess in 51.7,
land Kauffman in 51.8.
Jud Shutts and Scott Volker
; swept the 200-yard backstroke.
Shutts’ winning time of 2:08 4
was only six-tenths of a second off
last year’s meet record set by
I Oregon's Julian Carroll.
"Shutts had a very outstanding
time,” stated Van Rossen.
Volker edged the nearest Hus
ky by a second (2:18 to 2:19) to
push the score to 46-24.
Wood Wins Easily
Captain Dale Wood then de
cided the meet with an easy vic
tory in the 500-yard freestyle
(5:17.1).
"Dale did a fine job to swim
it in that time without being
pushed," stated Van Rossen.
Holding finished an easy sec- j
ond in 5:30. This one-two punch
upped Oregon’s lead to 54 25
Hut the Ducks weren’t through.

Defeat Huskies
By 16j Score
By DICK DENNIS
Sports Writer
A first-half spurt that gave the
Oregon rugby team an 11-0 lead
at the intermission proved vital
in Seattle Saturday as the Ducks
defeated the University of Wash
ington. 10-5, despite injuries to
two key players in the second
half
The win gave Oregon a 2-0
record in the Northwest Rugby
Conference, good for first place.
The Huskies' setback came in
their first conference game of the
season. "They had done pretty
well against Canadian teams,"
said Oregon coach Bruce Howe,
"and they arc much stronger this
year.”
Oregon's scoring came on tries
by Ken LeDoux, Don Simonson
and Vic (ironn Barry Ward, the
conference scoring leader with
13 points, had a penalty kick and
two extra point kicks. The Ducks
never trailed, leading 11-0 at half
time.
It was an expensive victory for
Oregon, however. LeDoux will be
lost for the season with a broken
collarbone. Back Dave Bottemil
ler, who suffered a knee injury,
“should be able to play again
pretty soon,” according to Howe.
The coach noted that forward
Ron Larson “had his best game
of the season,” and that wing
Dave Docharty is the “best on
the coast at his position.” Backs
Joe Raven, LeDoux and Botte
miller also gave impressive per
formances.
The Oregon second team, which
is “improving fast” in Howe’s
opinion, recorded its first win of
the season in a 3-0 victory over
the Huskies’ second team. The

Smith credited Jim Civey with
the best performance of his ca-;
reer as he took second place on
the parallel bars Additional Duck
scorers were Larry Jackson, sec
ond place on the trampoline, and
Wayne Aerni, third place on the
i side horse
“I told you this would be a
close meet." Smith stated "All
of our boys did their best today " ,
Ron Cornelius, Don Funder-,
berg and Keith Wright were the
key performers for Eastern W'ash
ington. Cornelius gave a tremen- >
dous exhibition on the still rings,
taking first place Funderberg
took first place in the floor exer- j
j cise and Wright placed first on
| the long horse.
"Real Progress"
"The Oregon team has made
real progress," stated Eastern
Washington coach Ron Sullivan
"I thought we'd boat them, but j
their overall strength made the
difference.”
The Centralia Junior College
Blazers did very little blazing,
and ended up far behind the
Ducks in their dual meet.
Additional Duck gymnasts scor- J
ing in this meet were Tom Heim
higner, third place on the tram
poline. and Dave Telling, third
place on the horizontal bar

still rings and a third on the

breaststroke for Oregon’s final
total of 62 points.
“Brockhouse and Holding both
did fine jobs,” commented Van
Rossen.
Oregon’s other one-two finish
came early in the meet in the
50-yard freestyle. Jay Greening
took first in 22 3, one of the con
fcrence’s fastest time of the sea
son. Don Smith was second in

Near Upset in Relay
The most exciting battle of the
afternoon came in the last event
—the 400-yard freestyle relay.
Greening and Don Smith open
ed a substantial lead against
Kauffman and Bob Newberg in
the first half of the race.
Then Husky aces Meinhardt
and Roark took over. Meinhardt
cut the lead in half against Mac- j
Kenzie, and Roark edged Hess in
a head-to-head finish. Washing
ton’s time was 3:21.6.
Oregon gained six firsts and
Washington picked up five. The
main difference came in the sec
ond place finishes. Oregon took
second in all nine individual
events.
“I was really pleased with our
performance,” concluded Van
Rossen. “The boys were really
consistent.”
