Mac Court roof causes closure McArthur Court appeared to be the biggest worry today for Athletic Department officials and the physical plant. The wooden roof on the 42-year old structure is in danger of collasping ac cording to physical plant offi cials. The roof is covered with the three-foot snowf all which buried Eugene over the week end. According to James Hen shaw, assistant director of the University physical plant, no one is clearing the covering be cause the physical plant does not want to risk the lives of its workers.

Hartman was disappointing in the one-meter dives as he could manage only a third place in one of his specialties. But he got a reprieve in the three-meter event. Oregon was trailing the Bruins 48-45 going into the three-meter competition and without a first place the Ducks had no chance to take the team title. Hartman gave his teammates that chance by turning four near-perfect dives into a new school and meet record. Broke own record He accumulated 309.05 points to easily outdistance Gordon Creed of UCLA who collected 244.75. Hartman’s point total broke his own school mark of 300.95 set in 1966. The Denver, Colo, junior also established a new meet record because the two Pacific schools have never competed in three-meter diving before. Hartman’s first place set the stage for a “down to the wire” finish. The Webfoots closed the gap to 55-51 and then won the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, by a close .4 of a second to claim the well-deserved win. Bob Jensen proved to be an other great asset to Coach Don Van Rossen’s Duck swim team by posting victories in the 50- and 100-yard freestyles and swim ming the anchor leg in the cru cial 400 freestyle relay. Other Webfoot firsts came from sophomore Jerry Newman in the 200 individual medley and Mike Beauchamp in the 200 backstroke. Qualifys for NCAA Beauchamp’s 2:02.9 time in the backstroke event qualified him for the NCAA meet at Blooming ton, Ind. in late March. The former high school All-American qualified in the 100-yard back stroke earlier in the year. His clocking also set a new varsity record, wiping out the old standard of 2:04.3 set by Julian Carroll in 1965.. Van Rossen was naturally a very happy man following Ore gon's victory in the final event. After getting thrown in the pool along with diving coach Don Me OREGON DIVER DENNIS HARTMAN Ducks edge highly-regarded UCLA 58-55 Gavern, the head mentor was proud to state that Oregon’s vic tory was “the greatest whole team effort I have ever experi r enced in dual meet competition. “We beat what must be rated one of the real fine dual meet teams in the country.” 1 HANNUM MOTORS 98 E. 11th, Eugene , ..hiiiiuhiil.
