Little joy in Pullman, mighty Ducks flake out PULLMAN, Wash. — If Oregon’s Saturday performance in Pullman was any indication of what the Ducks will do when they return in a month for the Pacific-8 meet, then the team may not be busing to meets anymore. It kept happening — Washing ton State won the long jump — which could have been a laugher if you compared best marks. They won the shot put, discus, and 100 in similar fashion. In all of the close matchups, Oregon lost. Tinker Hatfield low ered to 15-0 after his record break ing pole vault a week ago against UCLA. He, too, was second. Dave Voorhees lost out by a foot in the discus, as did Bruce Hill in the shot put. Dale Scott beat Steve Bence in the 880 by a sec ond. Scott Daggatt, the top miler in the Pacific-8 at the present time, didn’t place in the 880. Predictably,. Washington State won the three-mile behind Kenyan John Ngeno, as well as the high jump and both hurdle races. But the Ducks tost the 100, 440 and mile relay, also. It was not a good day. Paul Geis did win the mile — in 4:10:3 — which was somewhat of a consolation to Daggatt’s misfor tune. The Ducks now have a week off from team competition, as they try to regroup with the Twilight Meet at Hayward Field before taking on Oregon State in Corval lis May 3. In the jayvee meet in Eugene, better things were happening. Lars Kaupang, who didn’t go to Pullman, ran a sizzling 1:51.8 in the 880, maybe the best Oregon mark of the day — here or there. But then again, maybe Lars is happy that the stayed home. Those buses are murder and the weather was worse. Coach Bill Dellinger may have the team walk back to Eugene — and forget about the NCAAs. Lacrossers crossed up By BRIAN HAARSTICK For the Emerald The University lacrosse team suffered its first conference defeat Saturday in losing to the Washing ton Huskies 10-6 in Eugene. Oregon began in slow motion and never established any momentum until the second half. By then it was too late. Washington's Rocky Goodhope turned a hat trick in the first three minutes of play. He added a fourth goal and his team mates hit for three more as the Huskies roared ahead for a 7-2 halftime lead. Junior midfielder Sayre MacNeil accounted for both Oregon goals. Oregon rallied itself appreciably in the third quarter by controlling possession and scoring twice on goals by midfielder Pete Diffen derfer and attackman Ted Mon tague. Ferocius body checking by the Duck defense stymied Washington’s attack while the Duck’s offense kept surging. Ted Faye scored from his attack position and Diffenderfer tallied his second goal as the Ducks closed to within two at 8-6 with four minutes remaining. Here the comeback collapsed. Mark Puppy was called for a misconduct and Oregon was forced to play a man short for three of the final four minutes. The Huskies exploited the situation by scoring twice to put the game out of reach. Oregon is now 1-1 in confer ence play. The Ducks face some strong California teams next weekend as they play host to Ber deley on Saturday and Stanford Sunday. SMCH (ZutttvuU* *?vutm -A April 30 Mac Court 8:30 P.M.

NO SMOKING PLEASE. —A Double Tee - Cultural Forum Event— 5 1 t l In a meet that the Ducks should have won, everything happened that wasn’t supposed to, and ev erything that wasn’t supposed to happen did. The only reliable fac tor in the meet was the weather. It was typically awful. In short, Oregon humiliated themselves against Washington State, 94-69. Granted, marks for the meet were poorer than usual. The two teams combated rain, hail and cold breezes to complete what should have been a rain-out. But it really fizzled on the Ducks, as nothing seemed to go right ex cept the wrongs. For example, Larry Hurst cap tured the steeplechase for the first time ever in varsity competition while teammate Tom McChesney finished second. Then Ed Bilusak won the triple jump, another Oregon surprise, with a lifetime best no less, al though wind-aided. To round out the Duck plus column, sprinter Al Dukowski captured his second 220 race in a row with a 21.4 clock ing over favored Gary Minor of WSU. . So much for the good. Now for the long list of disappointments. Cark Eklund snared the ham mer throw for the Ducks, but WSU’s Marl Murray slipped into second after mediocre perfor mances by Mike Bolliger and Rich Perkins. Then Oregon lost the 440 relay, another event that should have gone the Ducks’ way. Ken Kramer of WSU won the javelin with a mark of 198-10, a mark that will usually get you sixth in a Hayward Field meet. Jeff Car ter, who has thrown over 240 for three straight weeks, slipped to 193 for second.
