Team 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.
