Northern Division
Leftovers .. .
By LYNN MUCKEN
Coinpulsionless Columnar
Odds and ends from the Northern Division Track Championships:
The wind which swept through Husky Stadium Saturday will have
to take credit for part of Washington's surprising run at Oregon for
the team title.
On one hand, the Ducks' Mike Deibele was seriously hampered by
the wind as he was upset in the 100 and 220 Explained Webfoot
coach Bill Bowerman afterwards, "Deibele just couldn't handle that
wind. He's a small kid and he runs up on his toes.”
On the other hand, Washington's Dave Williams, a strong 195
pounder, won both hurdle events, including a fine 52.0 clocking in
the 440-yard intermediates. Williams, who will be in line for all
America honors next fall as a football end, seemed to whip through
the wind as if it were not there, while less-strong opponents were
seriously affected by it.

OREGON’S NEAL STEINHAUER. who won the shot put in
Seattle, but still disappointed the crowd with his below par
61-7 effort, was obvoiusly showing his disappointment over
Friday night's loss to Randy Matson.
Neal, normally an easy-going guy. had a couple complaints regard
ing the way the shot event was run at the Coliseum Relays in Los
Angeles.
According to Steinhauer. the six competitors in the shot were
divided into three flights of two men each. Matson was in the first
flight. Steinhauer in the last.
Then each putter took his three preliminary throws. This procedure
was definitely not to the final competitors' advantage.
"I had to completely warm up again." noted Steinhauer. "and
didn't have anything left. We couldn't even make a duel of it.”
*****
WHILE MOST OF THE CROWD’S attention during the three
mile was focused on Gerry Lindgren's near world record per
formance. there actually were three distinct races during
that event.
In addition to Lindgren’s run at the record, the competition
between a tiring Ken Moore and Washington State's Chris Westman
for second place, and the fourth place battle among Bruce Morten
son, Phil Hansen, and Ron Dahl of WSU.
While Westman eventually overtook Moore on the 11th lap and
grabbed second place honors, the three competitors for fourth were
bunched together for all but a portion of the final lap.
Mortenson explained this battle in less-than-serious tones. “Wre
were looking around to see how Lindgren was doing and listening
to his lap times.
‘•We were talking out there.” said Bruce, “trying to decide if we
wanted to finish in a dead heat, but we decided to take off individu
ally.”
Added a grinning Mortenson. “I was thinking of slowing down
and waiting for Lindgren (who almost lapped Mortenson twice) at
the finish line so I could get my picture in the paper.”

BOB BLUM’S DISMAL FIFTH in the 120-yard high hurdles
had to be the upset of the meet.
Blum himself was as surprized with the result as anybody, not
realizing that he lost the spikes off his driving foot.
Blum related the circumstances of the race afterwards. “First I
started hitting hurdles. I hit every one. Then I thought the wind got
to me.
“I didn’t know.” said Blum, “what happened till I finished and
looked at my shoe. I found the plate back there by the first hurdle.
“At least I know I’m not the worst hurdler in the world," he said.
“I would have.been if I hadn’t lost my spikes.”
*****
HUSKY TRACK COACH Stan Hiserman has to be one of the real
“nice guy” coaches in the Northwest. Hiserman, acting as host for
the Northern Division Championships, was always available to the
press corps throughout the meet, kept a constant smile on his face,
and was always ready to comment on the events of the day.
*****
Standing in the middle of Husky Stadium, with its 55,000 capacity,
makes one realize just how inadequate Hayward Field is as a sports
facility. A visit to both stadiums would probably silence any dis
senters to the new proposed North Bank Stadium.

NeaLKen Visit Luncheon
By PAUL POLSKY
Associate Sports Editor
Guests Neal Steinhauer ami
Ken Moore from the Oregon
track team highlighted the week
ly gathering of the Oregon Club
Monday at the Eugene Hotel.
Moore and Steinhauer were
called by their coach. Bill Bower
man. to give accounts of their
head-to-head combat with Gerry
Lindgren and Randy Matson, re
spectively.
Steinhauer said he was a little
upset when placed in the separate
flight fram Matson. He warmed
up and then had a 40-minute wait
before his first competitive toss.
“I warmed up real well, even
better than last week against
OSU (he did 66-10 in the meet),
but then the people in the first
flight each had three throws and
I was cold when my turn came
around.” said Steinhauer.
The big boy finished with:
“Well, I’m going to get him some
time"—an obvious reference to
his next competition with the
Aggie giant from College Station,
Tex.
Moore Psyched
Moore was a little psyched oy
his competition prior to the
northern division three-mile. "1
had no idea he was in such good
shape. I talked to him just be
fore tl.v race, and he complained
and said he was hurting. But
when it came time to run he was
ready,” said Moore.
Moore also pointed out that
the pace was a furious one and
that the time at the end of three
quarters was five seconds faster
than the pace set by Wade Bell
of Oregon who won the mile.
Moore tried tactics on the
flving Cougar which only got him
further behind. ‘‘I let him get
way ahead, then tried to sneak
up on him, but the only creeping
done was his as he pulled away
farther.”
Like Steinhauer, Moore is
eager for another shot at Lind
gren. ‘ He just can’t run to a
new record every time. I'm not
going to duck him, but I’ll have
to do it the hard way, no mat
ter how hard it is.”
Bowerman said that he expect
ed the Ducks to win the North
ern Division meet, but "I didn't
figure it would be that close.”
Williams Outstanding
Bowerman credited Washing
ton's Dave Williams with an out
standing performance. “He’s a
tough competitor, a real animal,
and an all-around athlete,” Bow
erman said. "Of course, Lindgren
was outstanding, too.”
Head football coach Len Casan
ova gave an account of the var
sity alumni game won by the
alums, 26-25.
“I made a big mistake. I
shouldn't have invited Renfro and
Berry back,” said Cas. “However,
we accomplished what we wanted
to in spring practice,” he contin
ued. "We improved our running
game and passed a little, too.
We had a limited offense and
limited defense against the alum
ni hut I was pleased with the
performances.
Cas praised the play of soph
omores Jim Nicholiason, Jack
Rust, Mike Barnes, and Keith
Sherman. '‘I think we’ll have u
real good team."
Cas also credited alum coach
es Jack Crabtree and Phil Mc
Hugh with good jobs. -They
plaved the younger guys on of
fense and the older ones on de
fense, which was very smart, I'm
sure everyone learned a lot and
got some experience.
As for recruiting, Cas said that
the Ducks have come up with
some real fine prospects, even
though that "team up the road"
(Oregon State) got a couple of
his prime candidates.
Baseball coach Don Kirsch
opened: "We didn’t prove much
except that WSU is the class
of the league." The Ducks dropped
three more games to the Cou
gars who wrapped up the North

“They deserve their ranking
(4th in the nution) and they’ll
be a good representative."
Kirsch explained that since the
Cougars are not in a six team
league they will be dossed as a
team "at large" and must be se
lected by a committee "I’m the
head of this committee and I’ll
see they’re selected," said
Kirsch.
Kirsch had lavish praise for
Dan Krisella, the Cougar all •
American pitcher. Krisella Is 8 0

tion. In four appearances against
the Ducks, he won three times
and hit three home runs
