Miami picks Chuck Bradley
Two years ago, according to the story,
Jerry Frei took one look at Chuck Bradley
and dismissed him as “just another hip
_ • *»
pie.
Now the 22-year-old Bradley, Oregon’s
star center but a man who couldn’t make
his confererence all-star team, is headed
for the Miami Dolphins.
Super Bowl champion Miami picked off
Bradley in the second round as its first
choice in the National Football League
draft Tuesday.
That’s a shock to everyone but the scouts
who watched the 6-5 V2, 226-pounder in
action during Oregon’s up-and-down
season in the Pacific-8.
More highly touted teammates like Dan
Fouts and Tim Stokes were supposed to go
higher. But Fouts, who missed all of the
post-season games because of a broken
bone in his right foot, didn’t get picked
until the third round
The school record-holder in every phase
of the forward pass wanted dearly to go to
a west coast team — preferable to San
Francisco —where his father works as an
announcer and where he’d cultivated a
friendship with 49er quarterback John
Brodie.
But Fouts went instead to San Diego, a
struggling team that just a few weeks ago
traded for Johnny Unitas and shuffled off
John Hadl to Los Angeles.
Fouts’ last action came last November
CHUCK BRADLEY
in the pouring rain of Corvallis. He led the
Ducks to their first victory over Oregon
State since 1963, 30-3.
He finished up seventh in NCAA career
passing with 482 completions and 11th on
the all-time NCAA career total offense list.
In the Pac-8, Fouts is second only to Jim
Plunkett in total offense and career
passing. AO told he threw the football for
5,995 yards in a three-year career and set
19 school records.
. Stokes, touted as a superb offensive
tackle in the pre-season last year,
sometimes didn’t come up with the kind of •
performances that his advance billing
called for.
But he was easily Oregon’s best pass
blocker and Los Angeles tabbed him in the
third round.
The big surprise has to be Bradley, who
dropped from football his freshman year
after trying out as a walk-on.
He approached Frei two years ago and
an injury to starting tight end Steve Bailey
in 1971 thrust Bradley into a starting role
there.
Enright decided early in spring drills to
switch Chuck to center, and if he wasn’t
impressing the writers, he opened the eyes
of some scouts.
Bradley played in two post-season
games, the East-West contest in San
Francisco and the Senior Bowl in Mobile,
Alabama.
VoUeyballers finish third in tournament
Coming on strong in their most recent
tournament, held here in Eugene over the
weekend, Oregon lived up to a prediction by
ex-player-coach Rich Cox and surprised a few
people. While they finished third in a seven
team tournament the result was a tremen
dous improvement over the 2-10 record they
turned in last year.
Marked by a very balanced team effort
l they managed a 6—6 record in the round
robin against some of the best teams in the
Northwest, then lost two close ones in the
semi-finals to Seattle.
Badminton
Oregon’s badminton team entered in the
first annual Northwest Collegiate Badminton
tournament and came out very well.
In all there were over 60 competitors from
ten schools represented.
Perhaps the highlight for the green and
yellow was a three place sweep in the men’s A
bracket where Chuan Lau wrapped up the
title and was followed in by Gordon Noraine
and Tom Schue.
For the ladies Janie Perry trailed a pair of
excellent players from Portland State in the
standings, then teamed up with Schue where
she is in the finals for the mixed doubles
crown.
Playing in the B division Duck performers
gathered five first places and several seconds
and thirds.
Fencing
After five grueling hours of fencing the
Oregon team, captained by Judy Langdon,
pulled up in fourth place among six teams
from the Northwest and Canada.
Lyle LaMont gathered in the only placing
for Oregon when he finished third in the open
foil. LaMont predicted that in May during a
rematch the team trophy will again be bade in
Eugene.
Bowling
On the road to retaining the Oregon
Collegiate bowling league championship
which they lost last year to Portland State,
the green shirted kegglers protected a fat
three-game lead by taking 3M> of four points
from Portland Community College and
turning in a team score of 2846 pins.
Leading the way was Kent Konradson, who
turned in a 615 series with game of 181, 221,
and 213. Close behind was Veryl Brovard with
a 590.
Women’s
gymnastics
Oregon’s women’s gymnasts squeaked by
Portland State but soundly defeated Southern
Oregon College in a three-way meet in
Portland Friday night.
Oregon finished with 76.55 points — 31.50
of those came from freshman Ann Olson who
broke three Oregon records for scoring and
placed first or second in every event. PSU
had 74.55 points and SOC 25.30.
Oregon led by only one-half of one point
gong into the final event of the meet, floor
exercise. But Olson placed second in that
event followed by teammate Kim Harms to
give Oregon the win.
Oregon coach Marilyn Fitch cited good
performances by several Oregon gymnasts:
Rozann Shipley mi bars, Karen Lenz and Kim
Harms in floor exorcise, and Linda Isaacs
and Harms on the balance beam.
Patty McArthy who competes in all
events except vaulting missed the meet
because of a pulled hamstring. Fitch said she
isn’t sure when McCarthy can return to
competition.
Oregon competes in two multi-team
meets this week including the state college
championships at Oregon College of
Education in Monmouth Wednesday night.
Oregon State, PSU, SOC, and OCE will also be
competing in those championships. Oregon
has defeated all but OCE in regular com
petition.
Saturday the team competes against
Eastern Washington State College and
Central Washington State College in a three
way meet at Cheney.
