Campbell Club vs. Hauna Tennis Campbell Club vs. Delta Chi Golf Sigma Chi vs. Hauna-Hawaiians winner By DAVE BARONTI Sports Writer What's it like to be a track coach two days after your team received its worst licking in re cent history? In the case of Oregon's Bill Bowerman—not bad. Bowerman, who watched his team lose 94-51 to UCLA on Hay ward Field Saturday, said he was not at all depressed—either with the effort given or the potential shown. “I learned a lot." he said, speak ing before Monday's Oregon Club luncheon at the Eugene Hotel. "And 1 plan to use it." And the first team to feel the brunt of that use will probably be Washington State, which invades Hayward Field Saturday. Bowerman made it clear that the Cougars will present several stern individual challenges to more than just a few Oregonians. “Real Fine Sprinters" "Either they've got a couple real fine sprinters," he said face tiously. “or they've got a short course.” Both of those sprinters (Dick Hickman and Jim Johnson), he said, have run 9 4 100's—and both of them have been winning con sistently. However, the Webfoot to oppose them—sophomore Mike Diebele—upset a Uclan 9.4 sprint er in Norm Jackson to win Sat urday's 100. and will not be rest ing on his laurels. Bowerman did have some res ervations about Diebele's victory, however. "Jackson is a very good sprinter, but 1 don't think he was Emerald SPORTS Women Softballers Defeat OCE, 12-4 The Oregon women’s softball team defeated Oregon College of Education by a 12-4 score over the weekend at Monmouth. Winning pitcher Sharon Knight and Mary Ann McCormick led Oregon's 13-hit attack, Miss Knight collecting four hits and Miss McCormick getting three. Netfers Win Two The Oregon tennis squad opened a successful weekend Fri day by blanking a Whitworth Col lege team, 7-0. The Ducks added a second win Saturday with an other whitewashing, this time de feating Washington State, 9-0, at the Eugene Swim and Tennis club. The Friday score was erro neously reported in the reverse fashion in Monday's Emerald, with Whitworth winning, 7-0. A PERMANENT PRESS SHI WITH POW... ' Imagine! Falling for a shirt!

"I think it would be kind of hard for a 9 4 sprinter like him to get up for a guy who's been running 10-flat three weeks in a row.” But Bowcrman was no less pleased with Diebele's showing ("he's turning into a real sprint er")—in fact, he was "tremen dously" pleased with the whole team. “Tremendous Job” ‘‘We did a tremendous job. The boys really performed well under pressure." He noted that after the first few events it was UCLA more than underdog Oregon that was feeling the pressure. But the Webfoots didn't bene fit. "That (getting behind) would cause a lot of teams to choke," he said. "But at the middle of the meet, they were stronger than ever.” One of the things that put the Bruins behind was the surprise one-two Duck finish in the long jump. Bob Woodell jumped more than two feet further than he had before in his life, and Herman Braine more than a foot further with efforts of 23-11 and 23 10 re spectively. Woodell and Brame credited their improvement to using dif ferent checkpoints, and Bower man added another factor: “The other meets they were jumping into the wind," he said. “This time the wind was favorable.” Defending Mile Champ He also had words for Bob Day, whom he said "showed why he's the defending collegiate mile champion" in winning that event in four minutes Hat. He was not too surprised that Oregon runner Wade Bell ran third in 4:09. "We had not been training Bell for that kind of a pace," Bowerman said. "We hoped he’d be ready, but he wasn't. But you can bet that he'll be in much better condition this June. We’re pointing his program for that date.” A couple of other Webfoot cin dermen were brought up for dis cussion—high hurdler Bob Blum and shot putter Bob Foskett. When asked if he was surprised at Blum's 13 8 second-place show ing against UCLA, Bowerman an swered an emphatic "no." If anything, he saiu, no expert. I cd him to do better. "That other guy (Ron Copeland, the UCLA hurdler who beat Blum) is a fan tastic piece of equipment. He's about (18 and runs the 100 in about 9.5 . he will get better, but Blum, I mink, will run fast er.” Toakett Looked Good Koskett, he aaid, made an un expectedly good showing Also at the club to give reports were Oregon football coach Len Casanova, publicity director Hal Childs (subbing for baseball coach Don Kirsch who is currently scouting Washington State) and i golf coach Klwood "Krets” Krets inger. Casanova informed the club that spring practice has come to a temporary halt to allow the coach es to get in some last minute re cruiting before the deadline this week. And fas expressed delight at what he’s gotten so far He intro duced one athlete present in the audience who plans to attend I Oregon — all state quarterback, basketball player ami baseball I c a t c h e r Tom Blanchard from I Grants Pass. “Tremendous Pro” Childs expressed satisfaction about the hitting power the Ore gon baseball team displayed in its weekend sweep of Washington in particular, he lauded Dennis Baldridge ("a tremendous pro ! prospect maybe too tremen dous”) and Ron Delplanche—the sparkplugs of the team The pitching he said, though not spectacular, was "good " "We’ll be going on a road trip to Washington State this week end," he said They're currently leading the Northern Division by one game, so we'll have to win at least one to stay in there And whereas Childs was speak i ing about a second place team, KreLsinger was speaking about a third-place one. His golfers are currently 16 I strokes behind Oregon State and ; four behind Washington as the team prepares to finish the second half of the Northern Division tour nament this weekend in Clarkston, Wash j “We're a better team than we've shown,” he said.
