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.

than has Oregon’s number one
javelin man Ron Perkins.
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.
