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

“I thought I had seven feet last
week,” said Ogard. who jumped
6-10 against Washington. "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.”

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
