The annual “Twilight Meet,”
the University of Oregon track
and field team’s yearly in
tersquad picnic in the evening
hours at Hayward Field, is this
Sunday with the Oregon Track
Club and the Ducks the only
participants.
That’s probably just as well
because the Ducks have had a
hard time finding worthy op
position this season anyway.
Decathalon competition
precedes the Sunday meet with
its competition set for today and
Saturday. Heading the field in the
decathalon is national high school
record holder Craig Brigham of
South Eugene. Oregon’s entries
in the decathalon are Rick
Hedges and Jim Carmichael.
Others include Rob McLean of
Washington, Dave Aunger of the
Husky Spike Club, and Mike
Monahan, Geoff Wood and Bill
Hodgson of Washington State.
The decathalon begins at 11:30
this morning and continues at the
same time Saturday.
Oregon head coach Bill
Bowerman has labeled the meet
"low-key” and that seems to sum
it up. Oregon will be running
against itself in all events and the
early season conditions don’t
seem to indicate a repeat of seven
sub-four minute miles that the
Twilight Meet of 70 produced.
‘‘We don’t expect anything
very sensational,” Bowerman
said.
The 3,000 meter race should be
the best of the day with a
possibility of America’s top two
steeplechase runners, former
Ducks Steve Savage and Mike
Manley, going against Oregon’s
Steve Prefontaine.
Pre has entered both the mile
and the 3,000 but will only run in
one of them.
The mile should feature some
near four-minute times if no one
breaks the barrier. Rick Ritchie
(4:03.5). Bob Rhen (4:05.2), Mark
Foig, (4:06.2), Todd Lathers
(4:06.4) and Mike McClendon
will be in the mile for the Ducks.

Seabrook, Texas, hasn’t run the

No Vicky-no race
The touted crew race between Oregon and Oregon State,
scheduled for Saturday morning at Dexter Reservoir, has been can
celled.
Oregon State said it wouldn’t row if the Ducks’ girl coxswain,
Vicky Brown, wasn’t in the shell. Oregon’s coach, Don Costello, said
Vicky wouldn’t row because of the “condescending” terms used by
OSU athletic director Jim Barratt in issuing a challenge to race.
Barratt’s letter said, “In this exhibition we invite the charming
Miss Vicky Brown to participate against our brawny Beavers, as
coxswain of the aspiring Duck crew.”
At first Costello accepted but in the two weeks since then he
decided the offer was “one of condescension and disrespect” and
offered to race Oregon State with a coxswain other than Vicky.
Bari alt cancelled the affair saying, “There’s no point in racing if
Vicky isn’t in the boat We have nothing to prove. We’ve beaten them
badly twice already . . . the offer was made in the spirit of good
sportsman ship and I’m sorry Oregon didn’t accept it that way.”
mile yet this year but last week in
the Duck’s playday at Lincoln,
Nebraska he ran a 1:49.5 880, his
personal best. Despite the fast
time (good enough to qualify him
for the NCAA finals), McClendon
still didn’t win. He was edged out
at the tape by rapidly improving
Duck freshman Steve Bence, who
ran the race in 1:49.4.
Bence will be the class of the
800 meters. His nearest com
petition in the intersquad meet is
Nils Emilsson (1:50.9) and Dave
Weicker (1:50.9 in the 880).
The three mile will feature the
return of Oregon standout Randy
James. James, a sophomore
from Spokane, Wash., was an
important member of the Ducks’
1971 NCAA championship cross
country team but was hampered
all last season by a fracture in
jury, competing in only one meet.
James has a lifetime best of
13:40.0 in the three-mile. His
chief competition will be
teammate Scott Daggatt who has
yet to run the three-mile this
season.
The events are a little different
in the TwiligV Meet. The shortest
race is the 100 meters, which
will be run on a turn with Al
Hearvey and John Mays going
forth against each other. There
will be no 440.
Field events include the pole
vault where Oregon freshman
Tinker Hatfield will try to im
prove on a personal best of 15-2
which he set last week at Lincoln.
Hatfield’s teammate Scott
Hickey vaulted 15-0 last week in a
junior varsity meet.
Marty Hill and Phil Singleton
figure to battle it out in the high
jump. Hill has gone 6-10 this year
and Singleton 6-8.
Freshman Bob Daniels and
Russ Francis will try to break out
of something of a slump. Daniel’s
best of 251-3 was recorded in the
first meet of the season and the
best throw Francis has had is 237
9. Francis had a 259-plus heave at
Pleasant Hill High School last
year.
The Twilight Meet starts at
3:30 p.m. Sunday with the six
mile race.
Golfers to be tested
at Pac-8 IYD meet
“Sure, Washington beat us at
Alderbrook, but when they were
down here for the Oregon In
vitational, we took first and they
were third. They’ve got a fine
team, but I don’t think they pose
any problem that we can’t
handle. They could win, we could
win.”
Such is the opinion of Jack
Adler, Oregon golf coach, in
looking forward to the com
petition facing his Duck linksters
today and Saturday at the
Pacific-8 Northern Division Golf
Championships in Seattle.
Adler also expects that stiff
competition might come from
Oregon State’s Beavers who
knocked off the Huskies and
Washington State’s Cougars in a
three-way meet last weekend.
But Adler isn’t worried by any
means.

week, the Ducks are paced by
what has been called the best one
two punch in the Northwest.
Craig Griswold, a third place
finisher at last year’s Northern
Division Tourney and a sixth
place finalist at Houston, and
Doug Roxburgh, first last year in
the four-team Northern Division,
led the six-man squad.
Rounding out the traveling
team are Carl Schwantje, Jeff
Lindsey, Don Smith and either
Jim Jeddeloh, John Adler,
Cooper Chitty, Duke DeBernardi
or Mike Zichy.
Since Adler started coaching
golf in 1967, his teams have
placed no lower than third and
have finished first three times in
the past five years. This year,
with two tournament victories to
his credit, Adler has good reason
to expect as much as another
first.
Women nip OSU, 4-1
The women’s tennis team
knocked off Oregon State for the
first time in five years Thursday
afternoon, 4-1.
Singles winners for the Duck
women were Heather Wilson,
Molly Madden and Kim
Severson. Judy Basset and
Donna Cruson won their doubles
match for Oregon’s fourth point,
Chris Chisholm and Peg West
were defeated.
