Duck tracksters open season By STEVE RAU Of The Emerald Oregon’s 1968 outdoor track and field season gets under way next week - end. Saturday, March 22, when the Webfoots host a dual meet with Fresno State College at 1:30 p.m. on Hayward Field. This will be the fifth meeting of the two schools with Oregon having won the four previous meets. Fresno State opened its sea son last week in a three - way meet with Stanford and Occi dental. Stanford won with 90 points, Occidental had 62, and Fresno State was last with 29 points. The Bulldogs have sev eral good performers who prom ise to put on a fine show: Fin nish Olympic star Iakki Musta kari has a life time best in the pole vault of 17-1, triple jumper Irvin Hunt jumped 49 feet last week and Kenneth Svenson has thrown the discus 177-2. The meet will be a proving ground for many of the Ducks, and should provide some good indications of this year’s strengths and weaknesses. Ore gon Coach Bill Bowerman has indicated that the distance races should be our best events, “. . . we don’t have the balance that we would like ... to field a good team you need four good sprinters and the same for the quarter in order to win the re lays, the key to many meets.” Knoke returns The Ducks have many fine ath letes returning from last year, including three Olympians. Gary Knoke, “a world class hurdler,” according to Bowerman, who competed for Australia in both the Mexico City and Tokyo Olympic Games. Arne Kvalheim competed in the 1500 meters for I I Thursday Afternoon 4-7 HAPPY HOURS • Foosball and Pool OFFICE 290 • TV Rentals (weekly or monthly) • Top Service (all makes) See us at 1680 W. 11th Ave. Wed Side RADIO & T.V. SERVICE Call 345-4823 Norway, and Norm Trerise who competed for Canada. The sprints are perhaps the weakest events for the Ducks as three-year letterman Mike Dei ble gi'aduated. Frank Marlatt is the only returnee with a best of 9.6 in the 100. Football play ers Greg Lindsey and Jim Frank lin will also compete. Junior Ron Couser returns in the 440 with a best of 47.5. Jim Reverman will carry the Web foot hopes in the 880 (1:48.8). Ray Hammitt and Steve Savage are also expected to compete in the half mile. The mile is unquestionably the Ducks' best event with two sub-four minute men and sev eral more real close: Kvalheim (3:58.5), Roscoe Divine (3:57.2), Terry Dooley (4.02.2), Tom Mor row (4:03.0), and Mike Lyons (4:07.1). The two- and three-mile events will also be very good for Ore gon this year: Morrow (8:49.8), Kvalheim (with school records of 8:33.2) in the two- and 13:19.1 in the three-mile. Trerise (8:51.3), and John Woodward (8:58.5) will provide great depth in the long distances. Jim Gorman could turn into a strong steeple chase threat this year, as he just started running the event last year and turned in a fine 8:53.1 to place first against USC. Johnson joins Knoke Myron Johnson will join Knoke to provide fine competi tion in the high and intermedi ate hurdles. The field events won’t produce spectacular results, but the Webfoots do have several fine performers. Long jumper Tom Smith has a lifetime best of 24-8, and Warren Chen Shui (from Jamaica) has gone 47-8% in the triple jump. Sophomore Jim McMillan has pole vaulted 16 feet and promises to go even higher. In the weight events Zig Strauts with bests of 54-7 in the shot, anw 174-3 in the discus will carry most of the load. Jim Sagle, who also competes in the shot, will return in the javelin with a 223-1 best effort. After the Fresno State meet the Ducks will go on the road to meet Sacramento State on March' 29. They will open their PAC season at home on April 5 against Washington.
