challenge OSU
By STAN ROTENBERG
Of the Emerald
Tomorrow afternoon at 1:15
p.m., the University of Oregon
Ducks will meet the Oregon State
Beavers in Corvallis for a
Pacific-8 dual track meet. This
will mark the 68th meeting
between these two schools, with
the Ducks holding a 47-20 edge
over the Beavers, including an
Oregon 88-66 victory last year.
If the Duck competitors per
form at a par level, the meet will
be somewhat of a rout as Oregon
should push the century mark in
scoring. If Oregon has an off day
as a team, and OSU has an ex
ceptionally good afternoon,
Oregon won’t win by quite as
many points.
But the score really isn’t im
portant, anyway. What will
matter is the individual com
petition, and there promises to be
some excellent times and marks
in this intra-state rivalry. In
many events, the competition
will be from only one team, like
the Ducks win the mile and the
Beavers in the triple jump, but in

Touche!
Hie Oregon fencing team is
hosting a tournament—the only
home meet of the year—
Saturday morning in Gerlinger
Hall Room B54.
The tournament is expected to
draw 30 to 50 competitors, in
cluding the outstanding in
dividuals from the Oregon team.
In other weekend club sprats
action, the Duck lacrosse team
travels to California to face two
of the league’s toughest teams,
Stanford and UCLA.
And the Oregon crew is entered
in the Corvallis regatta at Oregon
State, one of the biggest meets of
the season. All schools in the
Northwest and northern
California with crew programs
are Expected to attend the
tournament.
Last weekend, the lacross team
scored its fourth straight triumph
by smashing Bishop Dagwell of
Portland 13-1. The team is now 4-2
and is showing great im
provement since dropping its
openers to California.
Ben Johnson highlighted the
rout with three goals, while Tim
Hopkins, Rich Kinney, Steve
Ellis and Terry McBarneett
scored twice each.
The crew team finished fifth in
a five-way meet, as Washington
continued its dominance by
winning in 6:06. The Ducks
clocked 6:32.
The bowling team took second
place in the Pacific-8 Northern
Division tournament behind
Washington. But Oregon will
represent the Northern Division
in the Pac-8 championships May
15, because Washington lacks the
funds to make the trip.
IM schedule
FRIDAY: 3:35 Field 1, Legal Eagles vs
Rocky Butte IX; 3:35 Field 2, Has Beens vs
B Bats; 3:35 Field 3, Teddy's Troupers vs
San Diego Georges; 4:40 Field 1, De Cou vs
Boynton; 4:40 Field 2, Parsons vs Cloran;
4:40 Field 3, Sigma Chi vs Theta Chi.
a few events, the team contests
will be very close.
One ot these close events is the
880-yard run where the Beavers
'Send Ron Borden and John
Svoboda (both 1:51.3) against
Oregon’s Nils Emilsson (1:51.1)
and Dave Weicker (1:52.0).
Weichker has just recovered
from a prolonged illness and
strength may prove to be a factor
for him. On the other hand,
Emilsson is very capable of
dipping under the 1:50 mark at
any time.
The two-mile will highlight the
Ducks’ Steve Prefontaine and
Steve Savage running against
OSU’s Keith Munson, but the only
competition in this race will be
for second and third place.
Prefontaine has an 8:33.2, (NCAA
record equalling time in the two
mile this spring, while Savage
and Munson have 8:50.2 and
8:52.6, respectively.
Other top individuals in the
meet will be Oregon’s premier
shot putter, Pete Shmock, who
has a season best of 61-3%; OSU’s
triple jumper, Robert Reader,
who was one of three people to
break the Pac-8 triple jump
record last week (Reado* jumped
52-11); Ivory Harris of Oregon
with a 13.8high hurdle mark; and
Bouncy Moore, the Duck school
record holder in the long jump.
As the entry chart below points
out, this week’s meet will have
the hammer throw instead of the
steeplechase, which will benefit
Oregon State by eight punts,
assuming they win first and
second place in the event.

Faces Cal today
a
Duck baseball team
hosts Cal, Stanford
Pitching is the big questionmark on Oregon’s baseball team.
And that will be the key to Duck fortunes this weekend when Coach
Mel Krause’s squad returns to Padfic-8 Conference action with a pair
of doubleheaders at Howe Field.
California meets the Ducks today at 1 p.m., then Stanford moves
into Eugene Saturday for a 12 noon twinbill. Oregon, 4-6 in Pac-8 play,
is looking for at least three wins to get back into the thick of the battle
for the Northern Division title.
But neither team is about to roll over and play dead. Stanford is
battling UCLA for second place in the South and a trip to the post
season Pac-8 playoffs, like the Ducks. Cal is 3-8 in league action, but is
no “patsy.”
Krause is quick to point that out. “Stanford is as capable as
UCLA,” he says. “And Cal only lost to USC 2-1, after leading 1-0 going
into the seventh.”
Oregon is 16-13 on the season, but in recent games, the pitching has
fallen completely apart—surrending 39 runs on 41 hits during the last
three contests.
Krause is throwing his two aces—Rick Mealey (3-2,2.34 ERA) and
Alan Hardin (4-2, 2.55 ERA) against the Bears Friday. Lefty Steve
Greenough (1-3, 5.02 ERA) and Andy Jones (4-1, 5.74 ERA) will work
the Saturday doubleheader against the Indians. One of them will likely
face Stanford’s Dan Shaw, an ex-Churchill High of Eugene star.
“If we play as well as we’re capable of," says Krause, “and get
the pitching I know we have, we’ll be in the ball games all the way."
