With a no-frills budget and a
cast of relatively unknown
players, the men's and women’s
tennis teams at Oregon head
into another season of play.
Following an 18-8 season,
men’s tennis coach Emory
Summers hopes for an even
better season this year The
men open their regular season
March 14 at home against
Whitworth College
The season will not be an
easy one, Summers says. The
team’s number-one seed,
newcomer Dave Wallock, has
never played a varsity tennis
match at the college level. And
Bill Whistler, the number-two
player, competed from the
number-seven spot most of last
season.
The emergence of Wallock, a
junior, as the top player was a
"pleasant surprise. I didn’t even
know he was on campus this
year,” Summers says.
Wallock started from the bot
tom, first surviving the tryout
camp where 200 players fought
for the three vacant positions.
Now, with less than a month
before the season opener,
Wallock has the top spot “pretty
much anchored,” Summers
says.
Meanwhile, the Ducks are
faced with one of their heaviest
schedules ever. “We’ll either
toughen up or come apart at the
seams,” says Summers.
But besides the schedule,
there is another battle the men's
team has to fight - its budget.
The tennis budget is almost
nonexistent, Summers says. It
includes Summers' salary plus a
van for transportation — nothing
more.
“We’ve been surviving on
fund-raisers for four years
now,” Summers says. The 1977
cuts eliminated the team’s small
travel and scholarship budgets.
The team now tours the local
tennis clubs playing for dona
tions in addition to hosting three
tournaments. The money is
used for shoes, strings and balls
— no one receives a scholar
ship.
The lack of funding from the
University hasn’t bothered the
players, says team captain
Steve Bolstad “I would con
sider scholarship money a lux
ury. But since it’s not there, I
can live without it."

Susan Hunt will be the third-ranked player for Oregon's tennis team
this year.
Participating in the fund
raisers are "sacrifices" the
team makes to keep the
program afloat, Whistler says.
In the women's program, new
faces dominate nearly every
area of the team.
With Nancy Osborne, the
Ducks have their second coach
in as many years. Osborne, from
the Eugene area, succeeds Pat
Moran, who led the team
through an 11-5 season last
year.
The women’s number-one
player, Lindsay Bartlett, a
freshman, is the "veteran" of
the team, says Osborne
"She has been playing since
she was nine," says Osborne.
“Last summer she played in 12
tournaments in California,
which puts her heads and tails
above the other players on the
team as far as match experie
nce.”
Other strong players include
senior Lynn Haeckler and jun
ior Susan Hunt, the second and
third seeds on the squad.
Besides Haeckler and Hunt,
Cathy Rudolph is the only other
returnee from last year.
The women’s regular season
started Feb. 14 with 5-4 win over
Montana.
"There is a lot of room for
improvement,” Osborne says.
"Several of the players have a
lot of potential, but they just
haven’t had much coaching in
the past."
Finishing in the top two at the
regional playoffs is a realistic
goal for Oregon, Osborne says.
Financially, the women’s
team is in a better situation than
the men’s. In addition to the
coach’s salary, the women
receive about $12,000 in fund
ing, with $4,000 allocated to
scholarships.
"We are really happy here,”
says Hunt. “It couldn’t be better.
No other college in the
Northwest has 12 covered
courts.”
"I could have joined a
stronger team but I heard this
team was growing and I wanted
to be part of it,” Bartlett says.”
The women's tennis team will
begin a six game California road
trip March 12 with a match at the
University of Nevada-Reno.
