Steinhauer Snaps School Records By DAVE BARONTI Sports Writer There’s no question about it now. Junior strongman Neal Stein hauer has joined the Webfoot Hall of Fame. He elected himself to the fic titious organization in a most auspicious manner — by putting the shot through 65 feet. 3l-> inch es of rainy Seattle weather in the Oregon-Washington track meet Saturday for a new indivi dual. meet and school record. Moreover, his effort made him only the fourth man in track - and field history ever to put the shot over 65 feet . . . linking him with such notables as world record holder Randy Matson, for mer world record holder. 1964 Olympic Gold Medal winner Dallas Long anil I960 Olympic (’.old Medalist Bill Neider in one of the most exclusive clubs in sports. Is that enough? No. Neal also had to set a school record in the discus with a throw of 177-2Vi — one inch further than former Webfoot Dave Steen did in 1963 Add onto this the fact that he led the favored Oregon trackmen to an 89-56 walloping of Wash ington in the first PAC “counter” of the season for both teams. So Neal had a day. Steinhauer Happy And he was happy. When, on his fourth try. he pushed the shot onto the little tuft of grass beyond the designated landing area, he literally jumped for joy He had just bettered by nearly EMERALD SPORTS two feet the former school rec ord of 63 5h set last spring •Neal's been working on weights this year,” said Oregon coach Bill Bowerman after the meet, “He's much stronger, more active, and has better balance than last year “And besides, he looked good today—he had to, he's the fourth longest shot putter in history." But it would be a mistake to call the meet all Steinhauer's. Wade Bell, for instance, won the 880 in a fast 1:50 * and then doubled back to take the mile in 4:07 7. Ken Moore ran second to Bell in the mile and then won the two-mile in 9:00.3.

Bowcrman was pleased with not only these performances — but also with several of the sec ond and thirds he received from sophomores. 'Exceptionally Well’ "They all did exceptionally well for this early in the season,” he beamed. In spite of Neal Steinhauer, il was Oregon's overwhelming su periority in the running events that gave the Ducks the meet. The Webfoots won both re lays—the mile in 3:18.6 and 44(1 in 41.7—all the straight running events except the 220, and lost only in the hurdles. Versatile Husky junior Davr Williams won both the hurdle events — the 120 highs and the 440 intermediates—and also the long jump and triple jump to grab individual point honors with Duck Baseball Team Wins Pair By BILL MORRIS Sports News Editor Oregon ‘'walked" to an 8-7 win over Seattle Saturday on Howe Field when a trio of Chief tain pitchers gave up 12 walks, four of which came in the bot tom of the ninth inning and ac counted for the winning Duck run. • i .u Oregon led. 7-2, going into the top of the ninth, but Seattle hitters jumped on Jerry Gjesvold and John Conrad for five runs on six hits in the last frame to tie the score at 7-all.

Coach. Don Kirsch started Ken Hadden against the Chieftains. Hadden pitched seven innings, giving up two runs on five hits. ‘ I thought that Hadden pitched fairly well,” Kirsch said. “He was a little wild, but did a pretty good job.” Gjesvold relieved Hadden in Oregon Alumni Defeat Varsity An Oregon alumni golf team, paced by Don Krieger and Lou Stafford, defeated the Oregon varsity golfers Saturday at the Columbia-Edgewater course in Portland by a 15-12 score. Both Krieger and Stafford card ed 73 scores, Krieger defeating Carvel Nelson of Oregon, 79, in match play, 3-0; and Stafford beat ing Oregon’s Mike Davis, 82, by a 3-0 count. “It is just a case of older and wiser heads prevailing,” said Oregon coach Elwood Kretsinger. “But it was a good experience to play this caliber of players.” Ralph Schaffer led the Oregon team with a 73. He defeated the alum’s Bob Norquist in match play, 2V2-V2. Other Oregon scores were Boh Kiesz, 81; Gay Davis, 80; and Bob Lovejoy, 74. . “I was a little disappointed in the over-all scores,” added Kret singer. “We were playing from the championship tees, so it was pretty rough.” the eighth and retired the side with little difficulty, but w a s tagged for four runs on four hits in the top of the ninth before being relieved by Conrad. Conrad gave up another run and two hits before retiring the Chieftains. Baldridge Scores The Ducks got on the score board in the first inning when Baldridge doubled and scored on two wild pitches.

Kirsch said that he was pleas ed with Cress’ homer. “It's been a long time coming," Kirsch said. • and I think it will help his con fidence. I would just like to see a flock of singles out of him now.” Seattle Comes Back Seattle came back in the top of the ninth when Looney led ofT with a single and came all the way home on Jim Hamm's sharp single to left after a throw ing error on Armstrong, llamm moved to second on the error and promptly scored when Lar ry Buzzard slammed a double.

Capitalizing on five Chieftain errors, Oregon tallied five un earned runs in the first inning and went ton to defeat Seattle University, 7-4, on Howe Field Friday. By edging the Chieftains, the Ducks pushed their winning streak to six in a row, and im proved their season’s record to eight wins and eight losses. Leadoff batter Dick Ogan opened Oregon’s early rally by gaining second base on a two base, throwing error. Captain Ron Delplanche in creased his RBI total to 11, sin gling Ogan in from second. Outfielder Dennis Baldridge, top hitting Webfoot regular (.383), was safe on a fielder’s choice that went awry. Delplanche scored on the play as the Seattle catcher fumbled the ball. Cress Delivers At this point, Seattle pitcher Jeff Sims got into the act, hitting cleanup man Rich Armstrong with his first pitch to the Duck RBI leader. Catcher Dale Ehler dumped a perfect sacrifice bunt down the third base line, moving Baldridge to third and Armstrong to sec ond. Sophomore first baseman Scott Cress delivered the second single of the inning to drive in Bal dridge from third. Third baseman Wayne Smith and pitcher Joe Kniser reached base on two more miscues, as Se attle’s infield could not find the handle on the ball. By the time the side was re tired after ten men had batted, j Oregon had scored five runs on only two hits. Seattle Cuts Margin Seattle got one run hack in the second on a solo home run by first baseman Jim Hamm. Oregon scored once in the sec ond on a walk, two singles, and the sixth SU error of the game. The Ducks completed their scoring in the fifth Smith walk- ] ed, stole second, moved to third ; on a single by catcher Bob Lind- j say, and scored on Kniser's sac rifice bunt. The visitors from Puget Sound chipped away at the Duck lead with single runs in the sixth, sev enth, and eighth. The big blow was Steve Looney’s home run to left on the first pitch of the sixth inning. Kniser Earns Victory Kniser earned his second win of the season, giving up two earned runs and three hits in seven innings. He has won on strong pitching performances his last two times out, defeating Pa cific, and now, Seattle. Charles Hopkins finished the game for the Ducks, allowing one run and two hits in his two - inning stint. Kniser and Hopkins upped the strikeout total by eight, but the two also walked five and threw four wild pitches. In the fielding department, the Ducks commit ted two errors, compared to Se attle’s seven. Oregon finished with seven hits, while Seattle had five in a game where much of the of fense was generated by walks, wild pitches, errrors, and sacri fice bunts. With men on second ami iniru Seattle rightflelder Mike Maliki drilled a single to left that scor ed both men and tied the score 7-7. Conrad then settled down and retired the next two batters In the bottom of the ninth Cress, Smith, and pinchhitter Bruce Robb all walked, then Dick Ogan worked a 3 2 count from Burke before walking to bring home Cress with the winning run. Kirsch Concerned Kirsch said that he was still concerned that the pitching hasn't been as strong as he had hoped, but gave credit to Seattle for being one of the better teams that the Ducks have faced since coming back from the Arizona trip. "They had better hitting than most of the teams that we have faced since we have been home,” Kirsch said. Kirsch said that he has been a little worried about the lack of consistent hitting in the lineup "Baldridge has been hitting real well, but as a team we aren't consistent yet. I was pleased with the double play the infield made,' he added, referring to a fast dou ble play Delplanche, Ogan, and Cress made in the seventh in ning. “I believe that we'll jell pret ty soon, but it is disconcerting that we've been winning games against this competition by only one run or so We know that com petition in the conference will be much tougher.” Oregon is currently holding a 9-8 record and will play Port land State in a 1 p m. double header Tuesday at Howe Field.
