    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.

PORTLAND — Walter
Hayes, 22, graduate student at
the University, has 30 days to
make a final appeal to the Navy
to change its records on his
Marine Corps Reserve attend
ance.
He claimed earlier he had
been ordered to report for ac
tive duty because he missed
drill in order to attend a mem
orial service for Robert Ken
nedy last June. Then he applied
for conscientious objector sta
tus and was turned down.
Monday U.S. Dist. Judge Gus
Solomon set the final 30 days’
delay in his fight.

Jackson’s disqualification. 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

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

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.
