Inches Could Decide
Oregon-WSU Contest
By BEN KALB
Of the Emerald
A quarter of an inch, a single
step, or a bad baton pass could
make the difference of victory
in tomorrow’s Oregon-Washing
ton State spike dual at Hayward
Field,
By no fault of anyone, coach
es Bill Bowerman and Jack Moo
berry have come up with two
of the most evenly matched
squads in the conference. In
fact, the teams are so closely
paired that the local gamblers
won’t even take odds.
Pullman’s Cougars will bring
to Duck Country a 1-1 record,
walloping Stanford 106-39, but
losing to Oregon State 84-61.
The Ducks will be looking for
their initial win, bowing the
past two weeks to Washington
70-66 and USC 92 53.
Oregon will put its 14 straight
wins over WSU on the line, cur
rently leading the rivalry 21
12.
Lindgren vs. Kvalheim
Probably the closest races of
the meet will be the mile and
the two mile. Former Olympian
Gerry Lindgren will face Ore
gon’s two-mile record holder
Arne Kvalheim. Lindgren’s best
time this year is 9:14.5 and
Kvalheim’s is 8:37.9, but Lind
gren has run it in 8:31.6.
Lindgren, the Cougars senior
superstar, will double in the
mile and face the “Albany
flash” Dave Wilborn. Wilborn
ran an outstanding 3:58.4 last
week, and “Little Gerry” toured
the four laps in 4:07.8.
Roscoe Divine, one of the top
milers in Oregon’s history, still
has a fatigue fracture and will
not run for the rest of the sea
son. Divine, by “redshirting,”
still has two years of varsity
eligibility left.
Another race that should
have the fans off their seats
is the quarter-mile. Ron Couser,
a transfer from LA Valley Col
lege and last week’s winner over
USC, will face WSU’s Larry
Scheurer. Couser’s best time is
48.7 and Scheurer’s is 48.3.
Close Sprints
The sprints will be another
battle that, will go down to the
last stride. The locals’ Mike
Deibele, sporting a best of 9.7
in the century and 21.4 in the
220, will meet the Cougars’ Jim
Johnson (9.7, 21.2) and Dick
Lapham (9.7, 21.5). Frank Mar
latt and Larry Sweek could al
so sneak in for the lemon and
green.
Jim Reverman, who pulled
off his lifetime half mile best
...and
what about
vour future?

ZIGURT STRAUTS
Top weight man at Oregon
against USC with a 1:51.8, Jere
Van Dyke and Scott Taylor of
Oregon will be matched with
Art Sandison and Rod Dahl of
Washington State in the 880.
In the hurdles, Olympian
Gary Knoke and senior Bob
Blum will face Boyd Gittens
and Bob Daily of WSU. The
hurdles are the only events
where Bowerman’s thinclads
hold a distinct advantage.
On paper it would appear
that if the Ducks want to keep
their win streak alive they will
have to come up with some
points in the field events.
Thrilling Long Jump
The long jump will provide
the best contest of the competi
tion. Sophomore Tom Smith,
who was edged last week by
one-quarter inch by Trojan
Earl “'The Pearl” McCullouch,
has a best of 24.7. Washington
State’s Barrie Johnson, one of
the top in the AAWU last year,
has a best this season of 24
7%.
Another field event that
could go either way is the high
jump. Oregon’s Tom Endicott
has cleared 6-6, but WSU has
Keith Dalluge, who has also
gone over the 6-6 height.
Washington State figures to
take the triple jump with John
son (49-2:,4) and the shot with
John Van Reenen (61-9l-2), and
the javelin with Carl O’Don

4#9 East Eighth Avenue, Eugene, Oregon X
nell (237-4). Oregon’s Bob Var
ley has the best pole vault mark
of the competitors, hitting 15-6.
Another tight duel could be
the discus. Van Reenen has a
195-10 shot this season, but Ca
nadian Zigurt Straut° has pull
ed upsets before. Strauts has a
174-3 to his credit.
The final victory may well
come down to the mile relay,
and that too is going to be
close. Oregon will probably run
Reverman, Van Dyke, Couser
and Knoke, and the Cougars will
combat with Art Sandison, A1
Karlberg, Gittens and Scheurer.
Oregon’s best time is 3:13.7 and
the Cougars have completed
the four laps in 3:18.5.
The prediction here is Ore
gon by less than the amount of
fingers you can count on one
hand. However, if you’re think
ing of placing a bet . . . our
suggestion is to pick USC over
Stanford.
Field events began at 1:15,
and running events get under
way at 2 p.m.
Oregon Leads Golf Meet
Finals at WSU
Coach Jack Adler's Oregon
golf team, holding a 28-stroke
lead at the midway point, travels
to Clarkston, Wash., this week
end for the final 36 holes of
the Northern Division Golf
Championships.
Washington State, currently
in last place among the four
Northern Division teams, hosts
the meet at Clarkston Country
Club. The first 18 holes were
played last Friday at the Cor
vallis CC, and the second 18
at Eugene CC.
Oregon has collected 913
strokes to Oregon State’s 941,
Washington's 975 and WSU’s
979.
The Ducks can also boast the

two leading golfei-s in the tour
nament so far in Mike Davis
and Gay Davis. Mike, a senior
from Portland’s Grant High,
shot a 74-73—147 last weekend,
and Gay, a senior from Cleve
land High in Portland, shot a
74-74—148 for second.
Also travelling to Clarkston
are senior Rich Knight, junior
Scott Smith, and sophomores
Mike Currie and Fred Haney.
Adler says that he doesn't
feel safe even with a 28-stroke
lead, as the Clarkston Club has
proved difficult for Duck golf
ers this year. A month ago, Ore
gon lost a sudden death decision
to Whitman in the Banana Belt
Tournament after leading the
first day.
Clai-kston is a small, tight pax
71. “The greens were very hard
when were were up there last
time,” said Adler, “and we had
to hit short and run up, some
thing we weren’t used to doing,
and this hurt us.”
Oregon Frosh golf team will
travel to Bend Sunday to meet
the Bend Men’s Club in a 10:30
a.m. encounter at the Bend
Country Club.

iLO-ILO, ZAMBOANGA,
AND CEBU
RECENT AMERICAN advertising research suggests that the perfect combination of
words for the ideal headline—eye catching-wise—is not, as was thought, "Amazing
New Free Offer! but the names of three Philippine ports: "llo-ilo, Zamboanga, and
Cebu."
Apparently it has only one drawback: it is a very hard headline to work into
ads for such staples as aspirin, Telly dinners, or Europe. Fortunately we are able to
use it, since we have Rover dealers in all three of the cities.
So if you are going to the Philippines, or to any one of 160-odd other countries,
you can order a Rover or Land-Rover here and pick it up there, at considerable
savings. For details, please write or call
