Swimming, tennis programs to stage fund-raisers
Marathon swim match set
Marine Captain Al Jones, a man who has done
some incredible physical feats while raising money
for charity, will attempt to defy the odds once again
as he joins forces with the University of Oregon
swim team in a special swimathon to raise funds for
the Duck aqua program.
Captain Jones, who recently swam the Snake and
Columbia rivers, will try a unique record attempt of
stamina against Oregon's top all-around swimmer,
John McConnochie.
The endurance test will get underway Thursday,
Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. in Leighton Pool.
Basically.the contest boils down to Captain
Jones, representing the Marine Corps and its
physical fitness qualities, challenging Mc
Connochie to see who can swim the greatest
number of hours and the greatest distance.
To make things even more interesting. Captain
Jones will swim with his hands tied and feet
shackled, and his progress will be limited to
whatever movements will propel him through the
water. McConnochie, on the other hand, will swim
his normal competitive crawl stroke that has
produced numerous Webfoot school records.
Captain Jones has predicted he'll outlast Mc
Connochie and, if he does, he'll then untied himself
and continue Ns swim attempting to surpass the
number of laps achieved by McConnochie.
Oregon swim coach Don Van Rossen hopes to
raise $6,000 through the event. The money will be
used to send a contingent of Duck swimmers to
send a contingent of Duck swimmers to the NCAA
Championships in New Jersey.
Van Rossen plans to have pledge cards made
available in order to sponsor each swimmer
through the marathon.
No admission will be charged for spectators.
Captain Jones has indicated plans for two more
swims following Ns duel with McConnonchie. He
plans to swim the entire length of the Mississippi
River and also the Amazon River in the near future.

Pros hi light tennis exhibition
Two of the world's top professional tennis
players, Dennis Ralston and Marty Riessen, will
play an exhibition single and doubles match at
McArthur Court on Friday, Nov. 7 with the
■ proceeds going to Oregon's tennis program.
In addition to the actual match between the two
high-ranking pros, the two professionals will
* conduct a clinic for all attending fans prior to their
match.
The clinic will start at 6:30 p.m. and conclude at
■ 7:30. Ralston and Riessen will collide in their singles
match at 8 p.m.
In the interim, Oregon tennis coach Buzz Sum
■ mefs has scheduled a celebrity doubles match.
Oregon basketball players Ron Lee and Stu
Jackson, plus Eugene Mayor Les Anderson, have
■ already committed themselves for the match.
Riessen is currently ranked No. 3 by USLTA
_ (United States Lawn Tennis Association) and
Raltston, former top-ranked USLTA player, has
served as the coach and captain of the United
States Davis Cup team the past six years.
Ralston was player-coach of the Hawaii Leis
franchise of the World Team Tennis League in 1974
and 1975. He was player-coach of the San Diego
WTT franchise.
He continues to play the international professional
circuit and has joined with Arthur Ashe to form one
of the most potent doubles teams on the tour.
Ralston has the reputation of being the best
forehand court player in the game of doubles.
Riessen is considered one of the hottest players
on the pro circuit and has won over half a million
dollars in his career to date. In fact, Riessen will be
involved in a rich challenge match coming up in Las
Vega with Billie Jean King, Chris Evert and Jimmy
Connors.
Summers is hoping the proceeds from the
exhibition match will rescue his own Duck tennis
program.

balcony reserve seats, for adult general admission
