Kirsch — Ball Team Has Potential By PAUL POLSKY Associate Sports Editor “You have to have 100 per cent from your entire team for success and if you can't get it you’re in trouble," said Duck base ball coach Don Kirsch at Mon day's Oregon Club luncheon at the Eugene Hotel. Kirsch was talking about the recent games the Ducks have won to bring their record to 9^ for the season. “We have had many close games, and I have been pleased to win. but ... I feel that we should have dominated some of the games more."’ The Ducks de feated Portland State, Lewis and Clark, and Seattle twice, all by very close scores. “I am not overly impressed," he went on. “with any phase of our game. I had anticipated strong hitting which has been spora dic at best, and our pitching is still to come around." “Something Missing" The Duck mentor finished this with this outlook: “I am also looking for a co-ordinated ef fort in all phases of our game. “There is a little something missing from the 100 per cent output . . but the potential is here," he said. Kirsch opened the program by introducing 14 of his varsity play ers. One of his intentions was to show them the people who in ac tuality are really backing the team from the alumni level. Looking ahead to the league opener with Oregon State this weekend. Kirsch said he expects to meet a hungry team and a good solid club. He also antici pated a balanced league for I960. Bill Bowerman followed Kirsch to the podium with his usual wit and humor, and echoed Kirsch s 100 per cent ideas. “Will Get Hurt" “I got an 85-90 per cent per formance from my track team in Seattle last Saturday. If we con tinue like this we will get hurt when we meet a class A team and cannot come up with that total or 100 per cent performance.” Bowerman continued, “We're not down to the nut cutting stage, as they say in Fossil. Ore., with a meet against Cal." Bowerman EMERALD SPORTS Probably Steinhauer’s Disc or Shot Put was born and raised in Fossil, a little town in Eastern Oregon. About Saturday's meet with Washington, Bowerman said of the Huskies: "They had a better team than I thought they would." ‘‘We gave up 20 points to Dave Williams, and Cas (Len Cas anova, Oregon football coach) only let him get 12," related Bow erman, (referring to the pair of touchdown passes Williams caught against Oregon last year as an end on the Husky football team).” Bowerman credited the Huskies with an improving team, and expects them to be better Skiers Take First Place Don’t tell Kip Kemple, but he wasn’t supposed to lead the Ore gon team over the weekend in the Oregon Collegiate ski cham pionships at Hoodoo Bowl. Kemple. placing second in the giant slalom race, paced the Ore gon team to a victory over six other Oregon colleges and uni versities. along with the College of the Siskiyous, in the final ski competition of the year for the University. Oregon scored 99 of a possible 100 points, based on a percen tage basis, and Oregon State, winning last year and finishing second this year, totaled 92. Lew is and Clark was third with 91.5, College of the Siskiyous fourth with 897 and Eastern Oregon fifth with 84.1. Linfield, Southern Oregon, and Portland State rounded out the eight-team field. Women First The Oregon women’s team also nabbed first place in the wom en's division, scoring 84 points to OSU's 58.3. Linfield was third with 50.7. “Kip really surprised same peo ple,” said Oregon ski coach Tore Steen. “He usually finishes be tween fifth and tenth.” Kemple's second place time over the slalom course was just one and three-tenths seconds over Byron BrowR’s, College of the Siskiyous, winning mark of 1:12.6 “It was a long race,” added Women's Track A 6:30 p.m. meeting will be held on Gerlinger field today for all girls interested in participat ing in track and field during Steen, ‘ 40 to 45 gates." If Kemple surprised Steen with his performance, then Oregon's Masashi Nohara must have shock ed him also—only in the reverse method. Nohara finished fourth in 1:14.9, and, according to Steen, "it was the first time he’s been beaten by an Oregon teammate. He’s always on top ” Tim Carter, another Oregon skier, was sandwiched between Kemple and Nohara in the third spot with a 1.14.6 clocking. ‘ Tim's usually up there pretty high,” Steen said. Hughes Fourth Dick Hughes was the Ducks’ fourth man, placing 14th He toured the course in 1:22.5. Jeannie Evans of Oregon led the women’s competition, topping second-place Kirby Moland of Lin field by a full three seconds, j 1.32.0-1:35 0. Sherry Sudduth, 2:05.8, and Dee Ford, 2:15.2, completed the Ore gon scoring. "They all looked pretty good,” commented Steen.

The Ducks completed most team competition over the winter in at least third place and constantly placed individuals in the top live. ‘Tt was a pretty good season." Steen agreed. ' And it was diffi cult for the team to be going all the time. They had to share the expenses and we’re working on a limited budget. Hut we usually came out pretty good." It could turn out even better next year. Carter. Nohara and Hughes will all return to add depth to the squad than in the past. Bowerman did not soein sur prised to sec his Riant strongman Neal Steinhnuer bomb the school shot and disc records with gar gantuane records. "He had been near 65 feet for a long time . . . he finally Rot one in a meet and that’s the one that counts ... if he had got ten four others that would have been something a bit different,” Bowerman smiled. 440 Relay Surprises Bowerman indicated that Stein haucr only works on the disc about 30 minutes a week which really isn't enough time. But if he worked harder there it would detract from his shot put efforts. "Wade Bell. Ken Moore, and Don Scott did very well,” grinned Bowerman. “And our 440 relay won, which was a surprise to me. I had counted on 77 points with out either relay and this was just extra points. "Against the Bears (Oregon meets California Saturday in Berkeley) I look for 78 points without either relay. Their 440 relay is much faster than ours and their mile team hasn't been j beaten in 30 some odd races," Bowerman said. Jere Van Ilyk Bowerman’s concluding com ments had a bit of puzzlement at tached as he talked about one of his star sophomores, Jere V a n Dyk. "I Just non t know how Rood he really is. His practice times arc terrible but in the meets he is something else," said the Duck track wizard. In Seattle Van Dyk was trail inn three others by a considerable amount, than he hit home stretch and won the race by eight yards. "I Just don't know how he doua It," Bowerman said. Then he reemphasized: "The success of our team depends on if we Ret 100 per cent from every man on our squad.” Bowerman then showed some films of the world's best Javelin throwers, including shots from the 1964 Olympic (fames in To kyo.
