Dodd hits homers
but Ducks drop two
V
SEATTLE — Oregon’s Tom
Dodd went on a home run binge
over the weekend with three in
three games with Washington, but
his teammates couldn’t respond
as well as the Ducks dropped two
games to the Huskies here in
Northern Division action.
Dodd smashed a homer in the
Ducks' first game, a 6-3 loss that
gave Oregon’s Dean Kegler his
third straight defeat and lowered
his record to 7-3 on the year.
Dodd’s two other shots came in
Saturday’s first game that saw
Oregon edge out a win in the
seventh, 6-5. The sophomore hit a
two-run job in the first inning and a
solo homer in the third, but Mike
Connolly made it an Oregon win
by taking home on an error in the
top of the seventh.
In Saturday’s second game,
Oregon scored two runs in the first
but the Huskies came back with
four in the bottom of that inning to
take the lead for good on the way
to an 8-4 win.
John Lazarich took the loss for
Oregon in that game, while Glenn
Fisher chalked up a win, his fourth
in eight decisions, in the first
game.
The series leaves the Ducks in
exactly the same position as they
held going in — third place.

Chapa runs year’s second
best 5,000 at Twilight Meet
By MARK STEWART
Of the Emerald
Rudy Chapa ran the second
fastest time in the world this year
in the 5,000 in the waning hours of
daylight Saturday with the help of
a lot of his friends.
“K’s hard to slow down with the
crowd cheering,” Chapa said after
setting a new personal record of
1325.57, besting his old PR by
more than 10 seconds. The only
faster 5,000 in the world this year
was run by Washington State’s
Henry Rono the first week of April.
Midway through the race, after
Chapa had left all the other en
trants behind, teammate Alberto
Salazar appointed himself head
cheerleader and got the crowd
behind Chapa. “The crowd kept
me going when I was hurting,”
said Chapa. “Midway through the
race I caught a stitch, but with the
crowd it’s hard to slow down.”
"I thought they’d run better,”
said Chapa of the Athletics West
entrants, Doug Brown and
George Malley, who were both top
steeplechasers last year. “I
looked forward to racing them. I
thought (Athletics West coach)
Harry Johnson was being conser
vative about their races when he
said he didn’t think they’d be up
there. After two miles I knew they
weren’t up there so I just ran my
own race.”
"I was pleased, I wanted to
break 13:50," said Brown of his
performance. “I’ve never broken
13:50.”
“I knew he was going to be first
after two miles. He was laying on

VANCOUVER, British Colum
bia ((AP) — The Vancouver
Whitecaps scored only one goal
on 10 shots in the first half, but that
was all that was needed as the
Whitecaps hung on for a 1 -0 deci
sion over the Portland Timbers in
a North American Soccer League
game Sunday.
The only goal of the game came
at 32:34 off a corner kick by Alan
Hinton. Defender Bob Lenarduzzi
headed the ball to midfielder
Steve Kember who sent it past
Portland goalie Mick Poole.

64’s one right after another. I hit
66. I was content to run my race
after a mile. I knew there wasn’t
much of a chance to catch him.”
Brown, who said the whole con
tingent of Athletics West runners
had been on a tough schedule of
workouts and were running in their
first meet of the season, said “it's
hard to come out the first time and
go against the Oregon kids who
are hitting the fine edge needed
for the NCAAs.” Johnson had his
athletes running longer distances
than they are used to and that no
doubt hurt his athlete’s times.
Matt Centrowitz also ran a sen
sational 3,000, in a lifetime best
7:48.23, beating his old personal
record by 12 seconds, and leaving
Athletics West’s Tiny Kane and
Malley behind.
1 Centrowitz, who has had prob
lems getting his races together
this spring, got his act together
and ran a quick 60 second sixth
lap.
“Against San Jose, I just didn’t
feel like running and it reflected in
my races,” Centrowitz said, “so
Bill (DeHinger) sat me down and
talked to me.” Dellinger also put
Centrowitz on a speed program
and it paid off. “When I got the
lead, I got psyched.”
“Matt took the race into his own
hands,” said Dellinger. “He let Al
berto do a lot of leading in the early
stages but when he took the lead
he took off."
“Every year we’ve had Matt he
gets better in the season when it
gets warmer.”
Dave Voorhees set another
personal best in the discus for the
second week in a row. Actually, he
set two bests Saturday, probably
because of the stiff competition he
got from red-shirt Ray Burton.
Voorhees opened up the com
petition with a toss of 191-10 and
Burton countered with a throw of
196-7. When Voorhees threw
200-6, Burton threw just a little
better 201-9. Then Voorhees un
corked with his first PR, 206-4 and
the competition was over. On his
fifth throw Voorhees threw 206-6,
the best by a collegian this year.
Athletics West’s Craig Virgin
won the 10,000. Oregon’s Bill
McChesney had a muscle tighten
up about two-thirds of the way
through the race and had to with
draw.
“We're all tired,” said Virgin of
his teammates in the race, Jim
Crawford, Jeff Wells and Jeff
Lodwick. Virgin'said he was dis
appointed he was not able to
break the 28 minute barrier like he
had planned.
“With three miles to go I should
have speeded up. I should have
forced myself to spurt and I didn’t.
If you want to get the time you
must pay for it.”
Wells, who finished second in
this year’s Boston Marathon, said
the race felt good and he felt no ill
effects from the marathon that
Johnson had thought might hinder
his performance.
