EMERALD SPORTS WEBFOOTzPRINTS ... Distance Battles By RANDE WILMARTH Sports Editor What’s going to happen when Bruce Mortenson returns? The Oregon distance ace hasn't competed for Bill Bowerman s Duck track team as of yet and. when he does, he 11 add his talents to an already solid distance field. Mortenson reigns as the NCAA and Northern Division steeple chase champion and his winning 9:00 8 1965 time was topped last week by teammate Ken Moore. Moore ran an 8:55 8 and was fol lowed Saturday in an open meet at Hayward Field by a pair ot Ducks, who along with Moore, have qualified for the NCAA cham pionships in the event. Bob Williams finished the race in 9:ll.o and Phil Hansen completed it in 9:14.1. Mortenson has been competing in Morocco in long distance events and his return should set up some good battles in the distance races with his teammates. A PRIZE FROM T11E EAST It looks like Oregon wrestling coach Art Keith has picked up a winner from the East—and not just out of state. Keith, the new Duck coach who guided the Webfoot wrestlers to a second-place finish in the AAWU this winter, landed Kenichi Kanno while Kanno was touring Oregon with a group of Japanese high school all-star wrestlers. Kanno, a senior now at North Eugene, plans on attending the University this fall And he couldn't have better credentials tor entering as a collegiate wrestler. , Kanno finished high in two recent AAU meets in I ortland and Saturday, in one of these meets, placed second in the Oregon AAU open wrestling championships at Multnomah Athletic Club. Two weeks ago. in the Far Western AAU Championships at MAC, he defeated Dwayne Keller, the 1965 second-place finisher in the national AAU Tournament. If enough funds can be raised, the Japanese wrestler hopes to compete in the national AAU tourney being held in Omaha this weekend. Another wrestler familiar to Keith scored a win in the Far Western meet This fellow competes for Stanford, though. Len Borchers wrestled under Keith at David Douglas High in Portland for three years, toured Europe with the Oregon prep all-stars last summer, went undefeated as an Indian freshman in the 154-pound class and then took his weight division in the Far Western meet. He was also voted the meet s outstanding wrestler. fsv SHUCKS, GANG, ^7'WEREN'T HOT^JN*!j EUceM^ IN GLENWOOQ Off FRANKLIN BLVO BETWEEN EUGENE SPRINfFIElO npivE’iu Open 7 p.m. First Ron Feature!

There they will meet eight of the best university teams in the Islands. Actually, this tour is a first ever for any sport. Jack Cross, who as associate director of the Student Union heads the Oregon rugby program, said in a state ment released Tuesday that "The two teams will represent the state of Oregon Accordingly, they will wear navy blue and gold (state) colors.” "That,” he added, “is the first time this has ever been done. As far as competition is con cerned, the teams the Oregon squad will engage are definitely impressive: Oxford. Liverpool, Northhampton — even the U.S. Navy team based in London. “Actually, they will generally be of about the same caliber as we experienced in the Northwest," Cross said.
