Wet weekend
washes away
baseball games
Rain washed away the
scheduled baseball dou
ble-header Saturday between
Oregon and the University of
Washington.
The wet stuff soaked Howe
Field enough to wipe out any
possibility of a Sunday makeup.
According the Oregon coach
Mel Krause, the two games will
not be made up when the Ducks
travel to Seattle later this month
for a twinbill.
The next competiton for the
Ducks, 9-7-1 overall and 0-2 in
the Northern Division, will be
today at 3 p.m. against Lewis
and Clark at Howe Field.
On Tuesday, Oregon will
travel to Portland State for a 3
p.m. game. However, the
scheduled Wednesday game
against the University ol
Nevada-Reno here has been
cancelled.
The Ducks will return to divi
sion action Friday with a trip to
Corvallis and a game againsl
Oregon State, followed nexl
Saturday by a double-headei
against the Beavers at Howe
Field.
Softball team sheds dust;
readies for state opener
After a week of avoiding the
rain by practicing in the field
house underneath the Hayward
Field grandstand, Oregon's
women’s softball team is ready
to face the elements and begin
its first 1981 games within state
lines.
Oregon, 3-5 for the season,
has played all of its games in
California — first at Sacramento
State, Chico State, Butte Col
lege and then at the Pony Invi
tational.
Kings crown
Phoenix; Spurs
even up series
From Associated Press reports
The Kansas City Kings added
another game to their series
lead over Phoenix Sunday,
while the San Antonio Spurs
evened up their series with
Houston in National Basketball
Association playoffs.
Ernie Grunfeld poured in a
game-high 27 points to lead the
Kings to a 102-95 victory over
the Phoenix Suns and a 3-1 lead
in their NBA playoff series.
The two teams will meet again
for game five Wednesday night
in Phoenix.
The Ducks, under new coach
John Feeney, take on Southern
Oregon in Ashland today at 4
p.m.
‘‘I haven’t heard a thing about
them or their record,” says the
first-year Duck mentor. "There
has not been too much softball
played around the state this
year so far. They may have
played some games in Califor
nia, but I doubt they have played
any here (in the state).
"We haven't practiced at all
outdoors since getting back
from California except for a
while last Monday. Playing in
the fieldhouse gets really tough
sometimes. It’s particularly
tough on the outfielders
because you can't hit the ball
very high, so getting out on
Monday was good for them ”
The Ducks open their home •
slate Wednesday afternoon at 4
p.m. against Lewis and Clark.

★ Pre-Passover Fast For Starving People ★
In order to remember all oppressed people at this time of the
Jewish people’s liberation from oppression, we the Temple Beth
Israel Social Action Committee are asking people to join us in a
fast on Friday, April 17, 1981, the traditional fast day for
redemption of the first born. Please contribute the money you
would have spent on food for one day to Oxfam International
relief program to help the people of Somalia, some of the most
needy, oppressed people in the world today. “The refugees
from the Ogaden have lost both their land and livestock to
drought and warfare. They often arrive in Somalia sick and
empty-handed having travelled on foot with very little food or
water”. Oxfam America. Oxfam is helping these people in
many important ways. At 12:00 p.m. at the Wesley Center
1236 Kincaid, Rabbi Myron Kinberg will hold a study session at
the end of which we will breakfast together. For more

Men sweep Tigers off track, 121-33
Photo by Steve Dykes
Rudy Chapa, making his first appearance of the
year, led an Oregon sweep in the 5,000.
By JOHN HEALY
Of ttw Emerald
It was tough deciding what Auburn
had more trouble with Saturday in its
dual track meet with Oregon — the
weather or the Ducks.
"It was more of a change for us than
Oregon,” said Tiger coach Mel Rosen of
the rain that blanketed Hayward Field.
Enough of a change for Oregon to win
all 18 events and dispose of the Tigers,
121-33.
The last time Oregon won every event
in a dual meet was in 1962 when the
Ducks swept Fresno State, 112V4-17!^,
with a team that boasted NCAA All
Americans Jerry Tarr, Dyrol Burleson,
Harry Jerome and Mel Renfro. They gave
Oregon an NCAA track crown and still
hold the record for the most points (85)
scored by an Oregon team at the national
championships.
Oregon’s only double winner, senior
Larry Bradley, battled stiff headwinds to
pick up wins in the 100 (10.6) and 200
(21.5) meters.
David Mack moved out of his specialty
— the 800 — for the second straight week
to post a win in the 400 (47.15), just
ahead of teammate Parrish Nixon
(47.59).
Mack wasn't the only Oregon runner
switching events, as Alberto Salazar ran
his first 1,500 in two years for a 3:46.64
win by outleaning teammate Richard
Kermode (3:46.74).
Mike Friton pulled away from Auburn's
Roger Jones with one lap to go to claim
the steeplechase (8:46.6), Nate Harrison
blew by teammate Chris Hudson on the
final straightaway to win the 800 in
1:51.15, Robertson posted a season-best
of 14.26 to upset NCAA All-American
Gene Miller of Auburn in the high hurdles
and Mike Eldredge won the intermediate
hurdles (53.00) after teammate Don
Ward fell on the final curve.
Ward suffered an abrasion but will be
ready for next week’s meet at Washing
ton State.
Oregon continued its dominance in
the field events, as Phil Christain claimed
the high jump with a leap of 7-0; Jeff
Martin leaped to a personal best of 23-3 V2
in the long jump; Lamar Hurd went 48-11
in the triple jump on his first attempt; Jon
Switzer vaulted 16-6 to win the pole vault;
Vince Goldsmith heaved the shot put
61-2’/2; Dean Crouser had problems with
the weather but still won the discus with a
186-4 toss; and Reidar Lorentzen tossed
the javelin 234-2 for first place.
And finally, American 3,000-meter
record-holder Rudy Chapa made his first
appearance of the year and won the
5,000 in 13:53.8, just ahead of team
mates Jim Hill (13:53.8) and Greg Erwin
(13:57.7). All three dipped under the
NCAA 5,000 qualifying time of 13:59 9
(hand-timed).
