WSU downs Oregon 86-65 in Pullman Steeplechase decides final outcome aiLVL lixVU Of the Emerald Most track experts had pre dicted Saturday’s Oregon-Wash ington State dual would go down to the meet ending relay, but as it turned out, the meet-open ing steeplechase really decided the final outcome. The Cougars easily won the meet, 89-65, at Pullman. The Ducks were favored to sweep the steeplechase, but an unforeseen accident, and an un derrated Cougar named Larry Almberg, changed all that. Almberg just edged out Ore gon’s Steve Savage at the tape, only after he was involved in a controversial accident with Hal Jackson over the last water jump. The race was very tight as Jackson and Almberg headed in to the last jump; suddenly Jack son had fallen and Almberg con tinued on over the barrier. “I was just getting ready to take off," Hal related later. “It’s hard to say, but I think I was push ed or bumped off.” A gallant last-second effort by sophomore Savage nearly gave the Ducks a win despite Netters tap Idaho, Washington State Oregon netters completed a successful roadtrip by trounc ing Idaho 5V2-V2 Saturday in Moscow. Friday the Ducks tripped Washington State 8-1. Rain canceled both doubles matches and halted one singles set in the Idaho meet. Les Hansen, Oregon’s number one man, was leading Doug Den ny 6-2, 4-6, 1-0 before rain can celed the contest. The Ducks went on to capture the rest of the singles matches. It was the same story Friday against WSU as Oregon coasted to victory by taking all but one of the singles contests and both doubles events.

Run ning the event for his first time, Savage poured it on near the finish but Almberg pulled away in the last few yards to win it. The winning time of 9:21.9 was relatively slow due in part to the cold, wet weather that pre vailed throughout the entire meet. Oregon never really got off the ground after that. The Ducks came up with some fine per formances but were unable to catch Washington State. Tom Smith came up with the best Webfoot performance of the afternoon. Washington State’s Bill Henry had been long-jumping all day at about 25 feet, but most of his efforts were thwarted by barely “scratching.” The best counting jump Henry was able to get off measured 24-llV2, while Smith came up with his best effort ever of 25 feet even to edge Henry by one-half inch. Duck triple jumper Steve Stevenson surpassed his best pre vious efforts to capture second with a leap of 46-9Vi. Warren Chen Shui, Oregon’s number one triple-jumper, is nursing a sore foot and did not make the trip. Another all-time personal best came from hurdler Gary Knoke who turned in a 13.9 in the highs, and came back with his Golfers second in ND tourney Jack Sheehan finished fourth for the Ducks in the individual competition of the Northern Di vision Golf Tournament as Ore gon placed second to Oregon State for the team title. Sheehan paced the Webfoot effort with rounds of 73-75-75 77 over the Rainier Country Club course last weekend, Eu gene CC Friday and Corvallis Country Club Saturday. The Ducks’ Fred Honey tied for fifth at 311. OSU took the team title with 1528 strokes to Oregon's 1559. Washington was third with 1580 and WSU last with 1597. second victory of the day in the intermediates. The Cougar efforts were en hanced by South African John Van Reenen's double wins in the shot and the discus. In the later event, he set a meet rec ord by spinning the platter 187 10. The meet’s top feature, the two-mile dual between WSU’s Rick Riley and Oregon’s Arne Kvalheim, never really material iiuimiiimuiimiii ized as the “Oslo Flyer” ran away from Riley and the race was never in question. Kval heim's time was a relatively slow 8:48.8, because he had to face a stiff head wind in the backstretch. The half-mile was more of a contest, as Oregon's Roscoe Di vine battled with Cougar Art Sandison, with Sandison pulling away in the final 50 yards. Next Saturday the Ducks will be at home against the Stanford Indians. The tribe was walked all over by Southern Cal, 111-43, this past weekend in Los An geles.
