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.

Cheney, Wash. Two of the relay
members, Wanda Taylor and
Sherry Wells, are back this year
in addition to two outstanding
former high school competitors,
Caroline Walker and Mary Ann
Berg.
The Gal Ducks have already
had one meet at Monmouth and
finished in second place. They
have meets scheduled in
statewide competitions before
looking at the nationals in Ten
nessee on May 11-14.

women’s nationals. 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.

TRADITION OF THE

it has been a number of years since a
formal dance has been presented at the
University, but hold your breath no
longer, this Friday evening from 8:30 to
midnight, the Ballroom will be rocking
with the sounds of Chuck Berry, Annette.
Bobby Vee, Little Richard and Elvis.
Dress for the occasion, grease up, shoes
will be required. Dance contests, prizes,
and all of the nostalgia from 1958. If you
can dig bopping and strolling you'll want
to make the scene. Anybody that can’t
dig it can meet me and my boys at the
Tasty Freeze after the dance.
