Jim Barnett Drafted First by Boston Celtics Meet in Coliseum Relays Neal, Randy at It Again By LYNN MLTKEN Emerald Sports Writer Exactly one year ago the two best collegiate shotputters in the nation met at the Coliseum Re lays in Los Angeles. At that meet, the best shot putter in the world humiliated the nearest pretender to his throne by over six feet. And Neal Steinhauer. the los er in last year’s dual, knows that his conqueror. Randy Matson, will be working even more dili gently this weekend. Because, when you’re only sec ond best, you try harder. Last year Steinhauer wasn’t even in the same class as his Texas A&M foe. and traveled to Los Angeles merely "to com pete." This spring it's a completely different s*ory. Last Saturday the huge Oregon junior shoved the shot. 66-10, the best in the world this year. Later that day the equally-monstrous Matson lobbed the iron ball to within a half inch of Steinhauer’s effort. Still that fraction of an inch represents the first lead Steinhau er has held over the Aggie star since Matson began competing after a winter of basketball. ‘It’s a little bit different sit I nation this year, notes Steinhau-1 AAWU Net Tourney Action Opens Today Oregon's tennis team begins play in Thursday's opening round of the three-day AAWU Cham pionships at Los Angeles with the unenviable task of meeting top-seeded University of Southern California. Duck tennis coach Vern Ball was not optimistic, predicting a sinth or seventh place finish. “We’re just going up against teams who have better person nel.” he said. USC. ranked by Ball as “head and shoulders" above other PAC teams, offers a perfect example.

HARRY RITCHIE "TSSr Jewem, 856 Willamette 343*1606 STUDENT ACCOUNTS INVITED NO MONEY DOWN-UP TO 2 YEARS TO PAY ei\ "I don't actually say I can beat him. but I might, and 1 think he knows it." Neal explains last May’s deci sive loss with no apologies. "You just can't get psyched up with u guy that far ahead of you. And l didn’t go down there with any intention of beating him, but just hoped he might spur me on to a better effort. "It's going to be won by inches, predicted Steinhauer, "unless one of us really gets psyched. After all, I might be all he needs to break loose." Saturday morning following his meeting with Matson, Steinhauer will fly to Seattle to help the Webfoots defend their Northern division crown. The Duck shotputter refutes any ideas that this trip, plus the two straight days of competition, will have adverse effects on his performance in Seattle. "It might affect me if I threw the discus Friday night, since that competition will be closer on Saturday, but we declined to en ter that event,” said Neal. "And last year I found that being tired, I was more relaxed. I threw the shot over 63 feet after competing the night be fore. "I don't think the trip will bother me,” claimed Steinhauer, "since the flights from Los An geles to Seattle are better than those to Eugene which I had to fly last yea?.” EUROPEAN Charter Flight 10 Seats Left Call 342-2772 ••I thought I might go to St. Louis, but Boston’s fine with me.” , _ So said an excited Jim Burnett after he learned that he had been picked Wednesday in the first round of the National Basketball Association's annual draft by the Boston Celtics, perennial cham pions of the NBA. "It's u complete surprise," Bar nett said. "But actually I'm very happy Boston is a good place to go." The 64 Barnett, who holds the career scoring record at Oregon after three years as a guard and forward on the Wehfoot basket ball team, said that he was in St. Louis three weeks ago talking with club officials and scrimmag ing with the team and conse quently suspecetd that he might be their first round pick. But the Hawks took Lou Hud son of Minnesota. "They needed a guard or for ward," Barnett said "But with K. C. Jones and Sam Jones of Boston at 32 and 33, Boston does, too. "They may not be there next season," he added. ‘Maybe I'll break in.” Barnett plans to join the Cel tics at their summer training camp Aug. 29—but in the mean time, he'll be in for more "ex citing business " He will leave in July with the United States Basketball team for a trip behind the iron cur tain, playing in Russia, C/.ccho Jim Barnett Slovakia, Yugoslavia and Poland "That will be a (treat experi ence, too," Barnett said. *T have never been behind the iron cur tain before."
