Newspaper Page TextTeam leaves for Pac-8’s Tennis stars left home The Oregon tennis team left for Southern California yesterday and left three of the top five players home, including first singles player Jumbo Fernando. Fernando and Brad Look, both three-year letterman seniors, were suspended from the team Wednesday night by Coach Buzz Summers just hours before the team left for the Pacific-8 championships yesterday morning. John Williams, Oregon’s third singles player, quit the team in protest following the suspensions. Fernando said he learned of his suspension by a letter read over the phone by Summers' daughter Wednesday night. Fernando said the letter told him he was suspended for a “lack of interest and determination.” Look, Oregon’s fifth ranking singles player, was left behind because “two freshmen had reached the same level of competition,’’ according to Fernando. Summers, driving with the team to Los Angeles for the Pac-8 tournament, was unavailable for comment. Williams and Look also could not be reached. “I called him (Summers) last night (Wednesday night) at seven,” said Fernando. “He had asked the entire team to call at seven. When I called, his daughter answered and read the letter saying I was suspended over the phone.” Summers was not hone at the time, according to Fernando. “It came as a complete shock to me. I had no reason to doubt I wouldn’t be going to LA.,” Fernando said. “The team was also completely surprised. You just don’t throw the number one player off the team. Brad (the number five player) was good enough the entire season until the last second. He never missed a match all season ” Fernando said he met with a lawyer Thursday evening, but stressed he has no specific plans for action. “I feel we could have a better tennis program, and I was just asking him for some advice about how to go about it. But we definitely have no plans made,” he emphasized. Fernando did indicate, however, that he met with Athletic Director Norv Ritchey. He also said the three tennis players involved and Summers would meet with Ritchey next Tuesday. Fernando was Oregon’s number one singles player for the last three years. Look last year was in the number two spot much of the season. Both would have been seeing their final collegiate action this weekend. Williams, a junior, is a two year letterman. The loss of the three regulars will obviously hurt Oregon’s already slim chances of success in the tough conference tour nament. Golfers miss NCAA tournament bid The USC Trojans were threatened by Oregon State early in Tuesday’s morning round of the Pac-8 Championships in Clarks ton, Washington, but ran away in the afternoon round to win its eighth Pac-8 golf crown in the last ten years. The Trojans completed the 72 hole par 70 Clarkston Country Club with 1,125 strokes. Stanford roared through Tuesday’s final two rounds to finish second with 1,133 and the Beavers took third with 1,134. Oregon in last place after Monday’s 36 holes, climbed to fifth with 1,156 behind fourth place California’s 1,154. USC’s Mark Pfeil, the 1972 Pacific Coast Amateur Champ, shot final rounds of 68 and 67 Tuesday to snatch the individual title with a 274, six under par performance. Last year’s Pac-8 title winner Scott Masingill of Oregon State and California’s Don Compton tied for second at 276. Oregon’s senior ace Craig Griswold failed by six strokes in his bid to win the Pac-8 title a third time, finishing fourth with 280. Griswold received an in dividual invitation to the NCAA Championships based on his Northern Division and Alder brook individual titles and other high tourney finishes during the 1973 campaign. “We had a terrible first day, shooting 29 over par for the first two rounds,” said Oregon coach Jim Ferguson. “We came back in Tuesday’s final two rounds with a one-under-par team per formance. “Even though we were in eighth place after Monday’s 36 holes. I felt we could place as high as third. Stanford, Oregon State and California played well; we played well, but just not well enough,” concluded Ferguson. Coach Ferguson was not disappointed with Oregon’s 1973 golf season. “We won three tournaments (Alderbrook Intercollegiate, Tokatee Invitational, Western Washington Invitational) and played a lot of successful golf. We played poorly on occasion, but we got plenty of playing time out of many of our young players,” cited Ferguson UCLA looks too powerful to stop UCLA is back in town. And stronger than ever. The Bruins, just possibly the best dual meet track and held team in collegiate history, will arrive in Eugene today for the Pacific-8 conference championships beginning Friday at Hayward Field. UCLA, the NCAA title winners the last two years, appears stronger than ever this year. The Bruin depth is overwhelming. It starts in the field events, runs deep into many of the running events. The Bruin barrage will start with the meet’s first event, the pole vault, where a French national record holder, Francois Tracanelli, is favored, and it’ll end with the meet’s final event, the mile relay, where no one in the nation has touched UCLA for six years. The pole vault begins Friday at 2 p.m. after the first day of decathlon competition in the morning. The mile relay closes the meet at 3:50 Saturday evening. In between the Bruins should collect enough points to record their fourth Pac-8 championship in five years. Last year, USC edged the Bruins in the Pac-8, but UCLA rebounded to an easy NCAA triumph. The mile relay show winding up the two-day competition should be a fitting climax to a meet deep with the talent of the nation’s top three track teams. UCLA has to be rated the favorite in the mile relay if simply because the Bruins have won the NCAA championship in the event every year since 1968 — six in a row — and seven out of the last eight. USC, however, comes into the meet with the best time in the conference this year. Trojans Claude Brown, Earl Richardson, James Raster and Ken Randle have made the trip in 3:07.1. The Bruins, led by “possibly the best quarter miler I’ve ever coached” according to Jim Bush, have recorded 3:07.4. Oregon, runnerup to UCLA in last year’s NCAA’s, trails with the third best time in 3:10.2. While the UCLA power may be contested in their specialty, the mile relay, the rest of the con ference isn’t so fortunate in other events. The triple jump, for instance, is virtually owned by two Bruins. Harry Freeman (55-2% this year) placed third in the NCAA a year ago. Teammate Milan Tiff was fourth. He has gone 54-lV< this year. No one else is even close. Bruin Rory Kotinek, a rare athlete who happens to.i>e pretty good in everything, may score as many points for the Bruins as Steve Prefontaine will for Oregon. Maybe more. While Pre may double, it’s possible he’ll con centrate mi one event. Kotinek is entered in three events and should score in each one. Last year he placed fifth in the NCAA decathlon. This year he’ll settle for the javelin, high jump and long jump. All this is without mentioning Benny Brown, a solid favorite in the 440 and anchor of the mile relay team. And Gordon Peppars, the pesky sprinter who always seems to get points. His 9.5 dash in the 100 is the Pac-8’s third best. Roger Freberg and Dale Gordon are the only threats in the conference to stop Oregon’s Mac Wilkins in the discus and appear to have two of the top three spots wrapped up. Two shot putters, Dave Schilling and Kent Pagel, could both score in their event, and hurdlers Charles Rich and Lynnsey Guerrero are favorites in the highs and lows, respectively. And the list goes on: Rick Fletcher threatens to upset Tom Woods of Oregon State in the high jump. James McAlister has already beaten Olympic Gold Medalist Randy Williams in the long jump. And the 440 relay team (if it can hold onto the baton) will contend for first place points. There seems no way short of a CMnplete physical break down by the Bruin tracksters that UCLA dominance can be averted. Oregon’s strength lies in the distances, but with the Washington State runners healthy and itching for upsets, Duck runners will not be effective doublers like the sprinters and field stars of UCLA. 1 BRIEFS SPEAKERS Lane District Attorney Pat Horton will speak at 7:30 this evening in 138 Com monwealth.
