sports Oregon shows up UCLA By MARK STEWART Of the Emerald Coaches Bill Dellinger and Frank Morris went for an unex pected win Saturday afternoon in the Hayward Field steeplechase pond after the Oregon track team upset the favored UCLA Bruins 81-73 in the Ducks third straight dual meet victory of the year. Dellinger said Thursday that Oregon could defeat UCLA with a total team effort and some breaks. UCLA provided no breaks, so the Ducks provided some very in spired performances to surprise the Bruins in several events to vir tually steal the victory late in the meet. “it was an inspired performance by an inspired bunch of guys,” said the sopping-wet Morris after his victory bath. “I love it, it was great...the bath was worth it.” Several Ducks came through with inspired performances. Those which most turned on the crowd were James Bell’s upset victory in the 400 intermediate hurdles over UCLA's Eric McNeal and Don Coleman’s lightening quick 100 meters. Bell won the hurdles after McNeal faltered slightly after the last hurdle. After his victory Bell received a standing ovation from the crowd and was swarmed as he jumped for joy in front of the west granasiana. Coleman, whose specialty is the 200, shot out of the blocks quickly and beat UCLA’s Greg Foster, who barely edged out An drew Banks out for second. Col eman was timed in a hand-timed, wind-aided 10.00. Foster came back to take the 200, but Coleman and Banks sur prised UCLA and took 2-3 with Hampton again fourth. “I don’t know what to say,” said Bell after his victory in the hurdles. ‘The coach told me to go after him (McNeal) and I did.” “We’ve got some sprinters don’t we?” Morris asked rhetorically. "Coleman has been telling us the last week" You don't think lean run the 100' but he showed us.” Oregon, which got behind early, took six of a possible nine points in the 100, swept the 800, took eight points in the discus and swept the 5000. Rudy Chapa won both the 800 and 1500, winning the 1500 in meet record time of 3:42.77. His time of 1:52.78 also led the Duck sweep of the 800, with Bruce Nel son and Matt Centrowitz shutting out the Bruins. Anthony Berry jumped a per sonal best of 51-21/2 in the triple jump to take second and Jon Ogard took second when he jumped his season’s best, 23-11, in the long jump. Ogard, who hadn’t jumped in competition in three years, jumped a personal best 7-0 to SALE 20% off on baskets and 20% to 50% on pure cotton shirts, skirts, and tops for men and women.

"I was not sure how I’d do today.” Ogard said he felt a lot of pressure on him especially in the long jump, but that he blocked it out — “I don't need any extra pressure.” Tom Hintnaus, who had not pole vaulted all week because of injuries suffered when he missed the box Monday, vaulted 17-0, which tied his personal best. But Hintnaus was overshadowed by UCLA's Mike Tully, the world's best indoor vaulter. Tully tried three times to clear a world out door record 18-8% and missed all three times. Other Ducks had personal bests to help the team — Todd Lovell threw 220-11 in the javelin, good enough for second place; and Chris Goodrich ran 14.81 in the 110 high hurdles to keep the Ducks from being shut out in the event. Dave Voorhees won the discus with a season's best of 195-1, and third in the shot with a season's best throw of 60-71/4. “I don’t mind losing,” said UCLA coach Jim Bush. “This is the kind of meet we used to have when the Ducks had powerful teams. It was time for a little luck today and they had it." “That sprinter (Colemen) is surprising," said Bush. “It (Coleman's victory in 100) got them excited. It got me excited. The high jumper (Ogard) sur prised me because we were ahead on misses.” Long lump — 1, Chip Benson, UCLA, 24-2% 2, Jon Ogard, Oregon, 23-11. 3. Willie Banks, UCLA. 23-9.

Women see win erased on decision By KEVIN HACKETT Of The Emerald Oregon women’s track coach Tom Heinonen stood grinning in the middle of Hayward Field. He had just watched Georgene and Dawna Rose blaze through the final two legs of the mile relay, giv ing the Ducks an apparent one point victory over Seattle Pacific in a dual meet Saturday. And then the disappointment oozed out of the public address system. It was announced that Oregon had been disqualified from the race because of a lane change violation on the relay’s second leg. Thus a 64-63 win suddenly be came a 68-59 loss for the Ducks. A stunned Heinonen observed that nobody would be feeling like a winner. "It's terrible. They’re going to go home feeling bad and we’re going to be home feeling bad,” Heino nen said dejectedly. Oregon was disqualified be cause an official ruled Oregon’s Rose Ann Klingerman broke from the second lane for the inside lane before she could legally do so. Heinonen said he had worked that same corner as an offical for two years and didn’t question the judgement of the official working there Saturday. Despite the disappointment, Heinonen was pleased with the meet and the performance of his team. The Ducks set three indi vidual school records and fresh man Debbie Adams continued to haunt schools from her hometown of Seattle. Patty Kearney got Oregon off on the right foot by winning the meet opening javelin throw, with a toss of 143’-11”. She broke the old school mark she had set earlier this year by over two and a half feet. Mary Stevenson broke the school discus mark which had stood for eight years. Stevenson’s throw of 156 -4” was only good enough for third place in the event, however, as former national col legiate champion Lorna Griffin won with a throw of 177 feet. Debbie Ritchay also set a school record, but failed to win the 3,000 meter run. Ritchay ran sec ond to Seattle Pacific’s powerful Debbie Quartier with a time of 9:48.3. Quartier, who rested for a half-hour after this race and then If you want Qualify Outdoor Products see: PACK TRAILS • Sleeping Bags • Coats • Vests • Paks & • More Packs 345 1410 V came back to win the 1,500, was clocked in a personal best of 9:31.2.
