mi mm Jumbo forehand Duck tennis ace, Jumbo Fernando, leads Oregon against Oregon St. here Friday at 3 p.m. Photo by James Link Smith cards 73, Ducks are 14th HOUSTON — Oregon’s Don Smith shot a one-over 73 in the first round of the All-American Golf Classic in Houston Wednesday. But with people handling the Atascocita Country Club course like a pitch and-putt layout, that got lost in the shuffle. Smith’s score was good for a 14th-place tie—and the Ducks, who finished third in this prestigious collegiate meet last year, were resting in 14th spot in the team race, too. Smith played in the Classic last year, when the Dave Glenz-led Oregon team was a strong title contender. Tom Kite of Texas shot a blistering seven-under 65 Wednesday— tying a course record—and led the field by one stroke after the first round. Kite carded five birdies in his pace-setting 18 holes. Howard Twitty of Arizona State had a 66 for second place and Corker Deloach of host University of Houston was third with a 68. Joey Dills and Hay Leach, a pair of BYU golfers, were knotted at 69, along with Jim Ahern of Oklahoma State. In the team standings, Arizona State was the first-round leader with a fine one-under 287. BYU was second with 288, with Texas and New Mexico third and fourth. Netters to host Beavers Rain washed out Oregon’s scheduled tennis match with Portland Wednesday. The Ducks host Oregon State here Friday at 3 p.m. in a match that Oregon coach Buzz Sum mers predicts will be close. Last year the Beavers bumped the Ducks 8-1 and 9-0, but com parative scores point to a closer battle this time around. “We got beat by Washington 6 3, and it could easily have been 5 4, ” reasoned Summers. “OSU beat Washington 5-4. I think it’ll be real close judging from that.” Oregon’s usual lineup of Jumbo Fernando, Jon Toney, Rick Wilson, John Williams, Mark Weir, and Brad Look will go against a Beaver team that’s relatively inexperienced along the top line. OSU’s number one and two singles’ men, Jerry Suyderhoud and Jim Kuenzli, are freshman. “But they’re experienced at the bottom,” says Summers. “Their top three men lost to Washington, and the bottom players won the match.” Currently Summers’ squad is 8 3 in dual matches. Womens’ spring sports by Tonie Nathan I Tonie Nathan is doing a weekly column on women’s spring sports. The one and only women’s track meet to be held at Hayward Field this season will be Saturday morning at 10 a.m. So Duck fans, get on your galoshes and chug on over. The gals need your support.

Although some of the track girls are of national calibre, lack of money will probably prevent Oregon from competing. No money has been budgeted and the funding for women’s inter-collegiate sports comes from women’s fees, not from the Athletic Department. Saturday the Oregon women are competing against Lane Community College, Oregon State, and Oregon College of Education. The order of events: 1) 200-meter hurdles; 2) 880 medley relay; 3) Mile run; 4) 100 meter hurdles; 5) 440-yard dash; 6) 100-yard dash; 7) 3,000 meter run; 8) 220-yard dash; 9) 880-yard dash, 10) 440-yard relay. The women will be competing in all the field events except the pole vault—long jump, high jump, javelin, discus, and shot. Track coach Lois Youngen, who has had ten years experience in the coaching and teaching field, says she has noticed a growing interest by women in track and field as a varsity sport at the University. She says this has led to increased participation and growing spectator interest. Admission to all women’s track meets is free.
