Beavers Edge Duck Runners By JOHN ANDERSON Of the Emerald A couple of points here and a couple more there would have done it, but the upset-minded Oregon track team couldn’t quite put everything together Saturday and had their string of consecutive Northern Division Track Championships snapped at 14 by Oregon State. Final score was 84-81, with Washington State not far back at 71 and Washington, struck by a series of injuries through out the dual meet season, fourth with 32. Seven meet records were broken and another tied in a meet that saw great perform ances in three events. Kvalheim Beaten The one everyone came to see was the rematch duel be tween Oregon's Arne Kvalheim and WSU’s Gerry Lindgren. Kvalheim set a national collegi ate record three weeks ago in Eugene when he defeated the “Spokane Sparrow” in the two mile, but this time the pair were going in the event Lind gren holds the national colleg iate record in—the three-mile. Kvalheim stayed with Lindgren until the final stretch, but the Cougar pulled away and won. Kvalheim was limping after his performance — he finished in a school record 13:19.1 to Lindgren’s 13:16.3 (Lindgren’s best is 12:53.0) — and complain ed of suffering a cramp in his leg with two laps remaining. “I knew it was all over then,” he said. Oregon’s John Woodward and Tom Morrow were third and fourth in 13:48.5 and 13:56.8. Other outstanding showings were turned in by WSU’s Foss Miller, who heaved the javelin 248 feet, 11 inches, and by a pair of discus throwers, Wash ington State’s big John Van Reenan and OSU’s Tim Vollmer. Van Reenan. a strong South African, had to get off a life time best of 198-5 to beat Voll mer, who set an Oregon State record of 197-10. Ducks Win Six Events Oregon wins came from Tom Smith in the long jump. Bob Varley in the pole vault, Dave Wilborn in the mile. Bob Blum in the 120 high hurdles, Gary Knoke in the 440 intermediate hurdles, and the Webfoot mile relay team. Wilborn’s 4:02.3 and Knoke’s 51.2 were meet rec ords. Smith leaped 24-53/l to take his specialty, IV2 inches better than second place Bill Henry of WSU. Varley topped Beaver star Dennis Phillips for the second straight week, clearing 16 feet. Mike Chaney was third with a vault of 15 feet. Wilborn led a 1-2-3 Duck sweep in the mile. Norm Tre rise (4:05.1) and Terry Dooley (4:05.4) both rah lifetime bests. The Ducks placed 1-3-4 in the high hurdles as Blum ran 14.0 to edge OSU’s Don Parish, who was given the same time. Knoke was third in 14.1, and sopho more Myron Johnson ran a life time best 14.2. Knoke's intermediate hur dles times was six-tenths of a second better than Tom Stra thairn of Washington or Boyd Gittins of WSU. Johnson placed lifth in 53.2. The mile relay team picked up five points after the Beavers had already clinched the title, with Mike Deibele, Jim Rever man. Knoke and Ron Couser timed in 3:14 0. Possibly the biggest Oregon downfall was the 3000-meter steeplechase, when the Ducks, favored to take 1-2-3, could get only 3-4-5. Washington’s John Celms won in a meet record 8:58.9. and was followed by WSU’s Rod Dahl. Geoff Hollis ter was third in 9:09.7, Cedric Wedemire fourth in 9:11.5, and Jim Gorman fifth in 9:19.8. Thompson Wins 880 In the 880. Jim Reverman was beaten by the man he beat in Eugene a week earlier. Terry Thompson of OSU burst ahead on the stretch, and won in 1:49.5. Reverman was second in 1:51.1, and Mike Crunican third in 1:51.2. “I’m more tired today with a slow time than I was last week,” Reverman said. “It’s just hard to get high mentally two weeks in a row. I think I’ll be ready for next week’s PAC meet.'’ Jim Sagle tossed the javelin a lifetime best 223-10 for fourth place. Bruce Schneider and Gary Bricher placed in other weight events, with Schneider fifth in shot put at 53-8 and Bricher fifth in discus at 163-6. Ron Couser was fourth in the 440 in 48.1. OSU’s Rod Paul tied the met record of 46.9, half a second better than he had ever run before. Teammate Greg Marks ran a 47.1. Mike Deibele was fourth in the 100 at 9.7 and fifth in the 220 at 21.5, while Willie Turner of OSU won both in 9.6 and 20.9, with teammate Ernie Smith close behind in both. Turner and Smith also led the Beavers to a 40.1 second romp in the 440 relay, as the Ducks were fourth in 42.6. UCLA Tops Tennis; Oregon Lasses Fall UCLA won the AAWU wom en’s tennis championships at Eugene Saturday, edging Stan ford by a single point. Oregon finished in a sixth place tie, as only one Duck net Webfoofs Win On llllh Hole By CRAIG PARKER For the Emerald The Northern Division cham pion Oregon golf team won another match Friday, defeat ing Oregon State 15M>-11M> to up their record to 8-2 for the season. Playing the newly-remodeled and extremely difficult 6,820 yard. par 72 Eugene Country Club, the top three Duck golf ers faltered somewhat off their averages, but the bottom three brought the team through. In preparation for this week end's PAC Championships, Mike Davis shot an 80, Mike Currie 86 and Gay Davis an unusual 40-37-76. Scott Smith had an 80, sophomore Fred Haney also an 80. and Dave Leiken a steady 38-38-76. The winner of the match was still in doubt with only the last two Oregon players on the course, but Leiken and Haney made their par putts on the last hole to insure victory for the Ducks. After the match, coach Jack Adler commented, “I wish they wouldn’t do this to me. They always wait until the last hole to win it.” This weekend Oregon travels to Los Angeles to challenge fa vored Stanford and USC in the PAC Championships. "We're go ing down with the idea of win ning,” Adler said.
