Ducks Scalp Indians For First Spike Win By PAUL POLSKY ur the Emerald PALO ALTO (SPECIAL) — Happiness is: • Winning your first dual track meet of the season • Seven 1-2-3 Oregon team finishes • A 47.0 quarter by Gary Knoke • A 258-foot plus javelin throw by Stanford’s Tom Colby • Greg Brock’s 13:49.6 three mile Stanford victory It all happened and more, Saturday as the Oregon Ducks and the Stanford Indians met for their 10th dual meet. The Ducks captured 10 of the 17 events on the program to win their initial dual meet, 92 53, against an undermanned and still winless Indian team. It was the eighth straight win over the Indians. Oregon captured all three places in the 880, mile, shot-put, discus, and the 440 intermediate hurdles. Add to this 1-2 plac ings in the 120 yard high hur dles and the 440, and the vic tory was intact. Dooley Wins In the 880, Oregon's Jim Reverman passed Mike Cruni can in the stretch to take first with a 1:52.0 clocking. Crunican was second, Webfoot Scott Tay lor third. Terry Dooley won the mile with an all-time best of 4:07.7 as he overhauled teammate Norm Trerise in the last 110 yards. Jim Gorman was third ^ for Oregon. "I tied up on the corner some thing fierce,” Trerise complain ed. “I started too early.” Dooley was excited about his time but spoke about missing teammates Dave Wilbourn and Arne Kvalheim who spent the weekend at Odell Lake, high al titude training. “It’s great to have runners like we do,” Dooley said. “We can rest them and still win, and at the same time give them a chance at the Olympics.” Oregon's 1-2 in the 440 was surprising. Gary Knoke, running his first flat race of the year. other than a relay leg, turned in an all-time best of 47.0 with sophomore Ron Couser second in 47.5 also a best. Stanford’s Jim Ward, a 46.9 quartermiler was a badly beaten third, much to the surprise of most every one. “It was surprisingly easy,” Knoke said, “The track, train ng, and of course the good weather had a lot to do with it. I felt relaxed add thought it might have been faster.” Knoke came back a half-hour later in his specialty, the 440 hurdles, but took third behind Bob Blum, 52.7, and Myron Johnson, whose 53.0 was an all time best. Blum and Johnson went 12 earlier in the 120 highs. With a time of 14.2, Blum was Ore gon’s only double winner. Shot Put Sweep In the field events, Oregon shocked the Tribe with 1-2-3’s in the shot and discus. Bruce Schneider, all-time best of 54-11%, Zig Strauts, 54-7, and Jim Sagle, 52-514, easily out distanced their competition. Strauts, Gary Bricher, and Sagle came through again in the platter event with Strauts’ 168-2 winning it for Oregon. In the javelin, Colby’s 258-2 effort established a new meet record, a new Stanford record and a personal best. "It was my last throw in my last home meet,” the big blonde from Amherst, Mass. said. “I took the javelin sooner and further back on my approach before release. Look what hap pened.” In the heat of the day, five three-milers took off. The win ner. Stanford’s Greg Brock, not only ran away from the field but came home to the tune of the “William Tell Overture” as played by the Stanford pep band. I-- •' His time of 13:49.6 was the second fastest run in PAC com petition Saturday as the event was subbed for the two-mile. WSU’s Gerry Lindgren served notice he is back in shape with a 13:25.2 time against USC in the Colesium. John Woodward was second for Oregon followed by team mate Tom Morrow. Both men were visibly shaken by the heat. Said Morrow: “I felt I would die after the first mile.” Peter Boyce led an Indian sweep in the high jump with a 6-10 performance, to set another meet record. Tom Massey and Dave Harper were 2-3 The expected duel between Tommy Smith and Vaughn in the long jump didn’t materialize as Smith won with a 24-2% mark. Vaughn, a 25 footer, could hit only 23-7. Varley won the pole vault at 15-0 and after missing three times at 16-0 quickly took the afternoon off for some suntan ning, as did most of the shorts and tee-shirt crowd. Following the meet head coach Bill Bowerman of the Ducks said: “I thought it was a good meet. When you beat school records (Stanford broke two) and have a lot of best ef forts it’s pretty good.” We'll Check Your Car And give a written diagnosis and estimate WITH NO OBLIGATION We Welcome Problem Jobs Loan Cars St BankAmerlcard Thrifty Auto Repair 440 Block Coburg Road 344-2214 Eves. 343-5991 U. of O.
