Trackmen Make It 13 in Row
By LYNN MUCKEN

SEATTLE (Special)—For 14 events, and two hours,
the Northern Division Track Championship in Seattle
was just another meet.
Then Gerry Lindgren stepped onto the track.
A chilling wind sweeping off Lake Washington, so-so
performances in most events, and a tighter-than-ex
pected, but still obvious, team title race, dulled the
enthusiasm and athletic sense of the some 3,000 spec
tators lost in huge Husky Stadium.
Little Gerry clipped off 12 laps in machine-like fashion
to win the three-mile in the meet, stadium, collegiate,
and American record time of 12:53.0. Despite a brilliant
final lap time of 58 seconds, he failed to erase the
pending world record of 12:52.4 set last year in London
by Australia’s Ron Clark.
“I wasn’t thinking about going for the record.” said
a seemingly fresh Lindgren only minutes after breaking
the tape. “I ran primarily to win."
Although Ken Moore, whose presence in the three
mile was supposed to create a tight duel between the
Oregon senior and Lindgren, finished a tired and badly
beaten third, the smiling Lindgren gave him credit for
the near-record performance.
“I wanted to go out kinda fast because I knew Moore
was real tough. I was just trying to keep going, trying
to keep up a steady pace against the wind.”
‘‘I felt great during the race. Right now," he noted,
"this is my best race, but I’d like to go six miles."
But if Lindgren stole the spotlight, it wasn't the fault
of Washington's Dave Williams.
Williams', an all-AAWU end last fall on Jim Owens'
football squad, won both hurdle events, finished second
in the long jump, and ran a leg on Washington’s winning
440 relay team.
These efforts were worth 14Vi points to his school's
second place finish, but the strong Husky looked like
he was ready for more.
“I'm a little bit tired now, but not like usual,” ad
mitted Williams. “I guess I’m getting in shape now."
The winning Oregon Ducks, who amassed 64 points
to Washington's 55, Washington State's 44, and Oregon
State's 30 to win their 13th consecutive Northern Divi
sion title, were not without their heroes either.
At one point in the meet, immediately after the
120-yard high hurdles, the Huskies had moved to within
a few points of the Ducks on the basis of Dave Williams'
victory in that event.
But there Wade Bell took over. The swift Oregon
junior, who earlier had trotted out a 4:11.4 victory in
the mile, led a 12-4 Webfoot finish in the 880 to insure
another title for Bill Bowerman and his troops. Although
the time. 1:53.0 was unimpressive, the manner of vic
tory wasn’t.
• Bell, running dead last halfway through the final lap,
turned on his finishing sprint midway around the last
turn, and outran the field for an easy and important
victory. Mike Crunican finished second for the Ducks,
while Don Scott, who led the race until Bell took over,
was just edged out of third place.
Neal Steinhauer, whom I>uck fans have come to
expect miracles from, responded with only one.
The huge Webfoot cracked the meet uml school
records by flipping the discus 1853 in winning that
event But in his specialty, the shot put. Steinhauer
threw only HI 7, far below par and disappointing to a
good portion of the crowd which sat near the shot
circle in hopes of another record.
Although this effort was good enough for a first, it
was obvious that Neal was off his feed.
‘I couldn't get started today." said Steinhauer "I
didn't want to," he said in reference to his attitude
following his decisive loss to Handy Matson in Los
Angeles Friday night.
Steinhauer also explained that he was tired from the
previous night’s competition and the flight to Seattle.
"You can get away with being a little tired in the
discus." he said, "hut not the shot."
But if Bell’s and Steinhauer’s efforts, plus Bruce
Mortenson's second straight Northern Division title in
the steeplechase, were Duck highlights, the perform
ances of regular winners Boh Blum and Mike Deibelo
endangered the Webfoot cause.
Blum lost the metal plate off his foot on the first
hurdle and finished out of the money in the 120 yard
high hurdles Deibele, bucking a strong head wind that
seemed to be just too much for him. could manage
only a runnerup finish in the 100, and no better than
seventh in the furlong.

series opener 7-3 and then follow
ed with 6-3 and 10-5 victories in
Saturday’s doubleheader.
The WSU wins, completing a
six-game season sweep over Ore
gon. gave them a 13-1 record and
left the Ducks with a 5-9 record,
one game ahead of last place Ore
gon State.
Oregon meets OSU in a season
ending three-game series next

Solo homers by Dale Ford, Jim
Hannah, and a two-run shot by

WSU’s 10-hit attack against four
Duck pitchers Friday.
The Cougars had already scor
i ed four runs by the time the
Ducks got on the scoreboard in
the bottom of the third. Steve
Banker walked to open the in
ning and scored after singles by
! Kon Delplanche and Scott Cress.
Trailing, 7-1, Oregon added two
runs in the eighth when Cress

threats in the fifth and sixth in
nings, and added four runs in
the seventh to take the final
game.
The Cougars hammered 12 hits
to Oregon's six and used five
pitchers, three of them in the
sixth.
Oregon had taken a 2-1 lead
on an error and Ehler’s double
before the Cougars' third out
burst in which they scored five
runs on four singles and a bases
loaded error.
The Ducks fought back gamely.
Cress homered for two runs in
the third and Delplanche drove
in starter Mike Nicksic with a
sacrifice fly in the fourth.
But that's as close as the
Ducks could get. Ehler was tagged
going to third after his third
double of the afternoon to end
a Duck threat in the fifth.
Two perfect pegs from the out
field halted another Oregon threat
in the sixth.
Ted Amato led off the inning
with a walk and pinch runner
Don Pooley was awarded second
on a balk. Delplanche then singled
with one out, but a throw by Jim
Doyle kept Pooley from scoring.
Dennis Baldridge followed with
a fly to left and again Pooley was
denied as Dale Ford’s throw
nabbed him at the plate to end
the inning.
Any further Oregon hopes were
sealed by the Cougars in the sev
enth when Hal Brunstad singled
in a run and Dan Frisella belted
a three-run pinch-hit homer over
the left-centerfield fence.
Frisella then came on to re
tire the Ducks in their last chance
at the plate.
