sports Ducks in fair shape for Huskies By MARK STEWART Of the Emerald Assistant Oregon track coach Frank Morris thinks the men’s track team has a good chance of beating Washington in a dual meet between the schools in Seat tle on Saturday. “If the guys go up there with the attitude that they will have some real competition, we ll do well,” said Morris. But then he qualified his statement. “If we dally around...if we’re lackadaisical, well, we’ll wish we hadn’t taken the ride up there. It will be a longer ride home.” According to Morris, the Ducks are in as good a shape as possible with the 14-man scholarship limit. The Ducks are healthy for the meet with the exception of shot putter Dave Voorhees' weak knee and sprinter Andrew Coleman’s sore leg. Both are expected to compete. There is one event Morris is au tomatically conceding to the Hus kies and that’s the hammer throw. Washington fields two time Pac-8 and NCAA champion Scott Neil son, a junior from New Westmins ter, British Columbia. Neilson threw the hammer 229-10 last year and the closest the Ducks can come to that distance is John McArdle’s 191 -3 this year and his life time best of 195-4. Neilson also throws the discus, but it is not his best event and Morris expects Arne Swan and Al Shibley to finish 1-2 if they throw like they are capable. Swan has thrown two feet farther than Neil son has this year and Shibley a foot less. Another field event the Huskies look like they have sewn up is the javelin. Duncan Atwood and Tom Sinclair have both thrown farther Women look for revenge against Husky spikers Oregon’s women's track team will tangle with its counterparts from Washington this Saturday in Seattle, and that can only mean another dose meet. Last year the Ducks lost 66-61 to the Huskies at Hayward Field, but this time around Tom Heinonen’s crew will be looking to even the score. “With the exception of the high jump and shot put,” said Heinonen, the Oregon coach, “I think that we can be competitive in every event.’’ In those two events the Ducks are rather outgunned. Tne Huskies have two top high jumpers in Maggie Garrison and Sherri Felton. Garrison has cleared six feet in the event, and this year she is joined by Felton, who as a freshman is a 5-11 jumper. Oregon now has the services of its top jumper, Kerri Clawson, who has cleared 5-8. Clawson recently finished basketball season. In the shot put, UW boasts Caryl Van Pelt, who with a 49-10 % effort is one of the top women in that event in the country. Van Pelt won both the shot put and discus for the Huskies in last year’s meet, and might do the same this year. She'll have more competition in the discus, though, as the Ducks will counter her 156-foot effort with Mary Stephen son (156-8 lifetime best, 149-8 this season, and Kathy Picknell (148-2 this year). The Oregon women broke three school records in last week's all-comers’ meet at Hayward field. Debbie Adams, who had been prac tidng only one week since the end of basketball season, ran the 100 meters in 11.8, and Patty Kearney set the mark in the javelin with a 141-3 toss. Oregon also had three runners better the old school record in the 5,000 meters, as Heather Tolford (17:10.3), Debbie Ritchey, (17:16.8) and Molly Morton (17:33.8) all broke the mark of 17:49.6.

The high jump is the event the Huskies appear most vulnerable according to Morris. Washington’s top jumper Lucien Moore is out for the season with a knee injury and the Huskies’ number two Dave Menashe has a career best of 6-8V2 and could only jump 6-6 last year. Oregon's only jumper, Jan From, has gone 6-10 this year. It appears that the Ducks will have an easier time with the Husky hurdlers since Wash ington's world-class hurdler Robert “Spider" Gaines sprained an ankle playing football during spring break and will probably run only the 100 and 200 meter sprints. This seems to be a bles sing in disguise since earlier this month the Ducks lost their top hurdler Phil Bransom for the sea son. Running in the 110 high hur dles for the Ducks will be Mike Chriss who has slightly faster times than the man the Huskies are likely to enter in that event, Dani Eitelman. Morris said the Huskies will be strong in the 1500 and the steep lechase and could do well in the mile relay, which is not set and might not be all year long. “Bill (Dellinger, head coach) and I might have to run a leg,” he claimed.
