If you re stumped or can t re member any further than Lake , Tahoe in 1968, the answer is ’ Eugene in 1972. It wasn't hard for * the 45-man site selection commit tee to decide last summer where t to hold this week s trials. Eugene outbid Los Angeles and * Seattle for the right to hold this prestigious event, which started Saturday at Hayward Field and which goes through June 27 And more than just track nuts will benefit from the competition of the Trials. g "In 1972, Prof James Rein g muth estimated the generated m g come brought into the community g to be between $600,000 and g $800,000, said meet director Bob g Newland g Reinmuth. who teaches quan titative methods and has been at g the University for 10 years, enjoys playing with the figures the Trials generate He foresees sixteen to seventeen thousand people com g ing into the city, and spending be g tween three-quarters and a million dollars "This meet attracts people to the many fine things Eugene has ft to offer, said Newland. "They see ft the University, the recreational ft advantages, the hospitality and ft the people. It's a real showcase for the University and the state of ft Oregon After the 72 Trials, I re ft ceived a number of letters telling ft me how much they appreciated everything.” ft. * People are returning to Eugene for these reasons, and they re coming in droves All incoming g flights to Eugene were booked ft solid for the 10 days of the trials g Many fans turned to the buses in g stead. They were flying to Eugene g and busing south, or flying to San g Franasco and busing north g "The rush started right when g school let out last week and it ft hasn't let up," said Bob Rooper, manager of the Greyhound termi nal downtown “I can’t have any figures until everybody's in, but it's a lot busier than it should be "I talked to a couple athletes today. One was from Queens Col lege, so the athletes are using buses also " Because of this mad last minute rush, Newland and his many committees have been pre panng for the Trials for a whole year They've met once a week for the last three months and or ganized such committees as transportation, housing, hospital ity. tickets, and facilities Newland s job is a little tougher than it was when he was director in 1972 ■ One of the biggest problems this time is there s so many more entries,' said Newland Natur ally. if the United States Olympic Committee is going to foot the bill, anybody who hits the standard wants to come It doesn t matter if they think they can make the team The field won t have the big fea tures like Jim Ryun s comeback or the late Steve Prefontame s 5,000 meter race, but it will have plenty of others to make up for the loss ' Overall, it will be excellent, said Newland, "It's true Pre is gone but there's a number of events that will be great like the javelin with Dave Luke, the discus with Mac Wilkins, distance man Frank Shorter, and the shot put will be a heck of a duel ‘ Someone commented that it'll be the best Olympic group to ever come out of the Trials That s re ally important with the rest of the world improving so much Every seat in 16,000 seat Hay ward Field has been sold for this spectacle and should surpass the 1972 attendance mark of 144,000 That mark was the third largest viewing audience ever to watch a track meet in the United States The first two were the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, and the U S S R-U S. meet in 1962 at Stanford Only the limited seating at Hay ward Field will keep this weeks Trials from the top of all-time track and field attractions ■ m m n -■ i ■ ■ m Yes, there is a fabric store near campus.

For most of these athletes, just getting to the Trials is a goal set firmly in many hours of practice and competition Here in Eugene they will have a chance to test skills against others of equal ability, and hopefully finish among the top three. And there are others, familiar names such as Rick Wohluter, Ralph Mann, Frank Shorter, Willie Davenport, Dwight Stones — who are among the twenty performers from the 1972 Munich Games trying for yet another spot on America’s Olympic team But veteran or newcomer, the competition prom ises to be stiff in all events. Some especially tight battles are shaping up in the following events: (1976 bests) •The discus, where world record holder and former Oregon star Mac Wilkins (232-6), now of the Pacific Coast Club, will face rival John Poweii (220-4) and 1972 winner Jay Silvester (211 -2), both who are competing unattached Other top marks include Ken Stadel (215-7) of the San Jose Stars and Art Swarfs (211-0). •The 100 meters, as a host of speedsters like Florida Track Club's Steve Williams (9 9), Auburn s Harvey Glance (9.9), Clancy Edwards (10.0), of the Maccabi Track Club and Tennessee's Reggie Jones (10 0), run for the top three spots San Jose State's Ron Whitaker also has a clocking of 10.0 in this event. ft * •The 1,500 meters, where over six runners have better times than Jim Ryun’s 1972 winning 3:41.5. Top men include Oregon’s Matt Centrowitz (3:37.29), former Duck and Oregon Track Club member Mark Feig (3:38.1), Wisconsin's Steve Lacy (3:38.52) and Chicago Track Club’s Rick Wohluter (3.38.7), who has also qualified for the 800 meters, an event Wohluter finished second in at the 1972 Trials. •The high jump. In 1972, Dwight Stones won with a mark of 7-3. This year, Stones has a best of 7-7, and Central Michigan’s Mike Winsor (7-5), Pacific Coast Club's Rory Kotinek (7-5) and Georgia s James Barrineau (7-41/2) all have marks higher than that winning standard. Pacific Coast Club member Tom Woods also has a '76 best of 7-41/2. •The 400 meters, as USC’s Ken Randle (44.99) leads the formidable pack of runners like Mississippi State’s Evis Jennings (45.0), Baton Rouge Track Club's Fred Newhouse (45.1) and Maxie Parks of the Maccabi Track Club (45.17). Top marks in other events include a 228-0 hammer throw by Army's Bill Diehl; a javelin mark of 284-3, set by Anthony Hall of the Bruce TC; the 8,250 decathlon score by Bruce Jenner, who finished third in 1972 with 7,846 points; and Earl Bell’s vault of 18-71/4 in the pole vault. Unfortunately, if you haven't got tickets already, the best place to watch the action might be at home in front of the tube — all tickets to all sessions are sold out. But if you’re one of the lucky ones inside the gates, stopwatch in hand, hoping for a world record — enjoy it. It might be four years before you get another chance. Robert Taylor finished third in the 100 meters in 1972 - and is now looking to at least repeat that finish to make the Olympic Team once again. * A champion in Eugene four years ago, steeplechaser Mike Man ley faces rough competition iff a is to capture first place this time.
