Ducks scatter Lewis & Clark, 4-1

Randy Porter rounds third and heads home, brought in on a Kirk
Cameron double in the fifth inning of Monday's victory over Lewis
and Clark.
It was a frustrating day for
Lewis & Clark College Monday
as Oregon’s baseball team
cruised to a 4-1 victory at Howe
Field.
The Pioneers did a lot of
swinging but rarely connected
as Dean Kegler and Jim Givens
combined to strike out 15 hitters
while scattering seven hits.
It was Kegler’s fourth win
against two losses this year,
matching his victory total of a
year ago. Givens struck out four
and pitched two scoreless in
nings to lower his season ERA
to 2.51.
“I was very pleased with Ke
gler today,” said coach Mel
Krause ‘‘This is the second time
in a row he’s pitched well."
The Ducks seemed to be in
control throughout the game,
though Lewis & Clark did cause
a few anxious moments.
Oregon took a 2-0 lead after
two innings, mostly due to
sloppy fielding and pitcher
Steve Dawson, whose wild
pitches yielded three walks. An
error and a passed ball were
responsible for the first run and
a passed ball and a balk led to
run number two.
But L&C strung together a
double and two singles to claw
to 2-1 after three innings. And it
might have been 2-2 after four if
third baseman Kirk Cameron
and catcher Ted Hodges hadn’t
Spring practice sets direction,
lineup for Oregon football team
By TAMARA SWENSON
Of the Emerald
Men in green and yellow un
iforms, pads and helmets filled
Autzen Stadium Monday as the
Oregon football team began
spring practice.
The five weeks of spring foot
ball will do more for deciding
next season’s starting lineups
than any of the 16 practice days
before the season opener Sept.
5 at Fresno State, said football
coach Rich Brooks.
“More than anything else, this
is a time we’ll use to answer
personel questions,” said
Brooks, who is beginning his
fifth season at Oregon.
The loss to graduation will be
heaviest in the defensive unit
with five starting spots open.
Fortunately for Brooks, the
remaining players have all had
playing time and should easily
step into the vacancies.
“The defense is the only
place we really need to make
any changes,” said junior Andy
Vobora, a starting linebacker
last season
“Even though some of the
starters are gone, there are a lot
of people right behind them
waiting to step in,” said quar
terback Kevin Lusk.
The offensive unit will also be
going through a few changes
during spring practice, said
Brooks. But Oregon will still be
an option team, with only minor
revisions.
Lusk, a better passer than
than graduated option
specialist Reggie Ogburn, will
make more use of his fullback
and tailback, Brooks said.
“Kevin is a good quarter
back,” said tailback Reggie
Brown. “He’s the leader here
and he runs the show.”
The remainder of the offen
sive unit, with only three starters
lost to graduation, will be a key
to next year's season.
Oregon's final area of con
cern, a punter, has been shored
up by incoming recruit Mike
Jorgensen of Ontario.
"I’m sure that we will be a
better football team this year
than last," said Brooks. "There
are a lot of people in a position
to start. I hope we decide a lot of
them by the end of spring term."
Brooks said he expects this
team to go 8-3 or 9-2, and earn a
shot at a bowl game. “At least
we hope so," he said. “If they let
us."

The Ducks, substituting free
ly, increased the gap to 3-1 in
the fifth on Cameron’s RBI dou
ble, and when Mike McLaran's
two-out single scored Kyle Kea
ton in the sixth inning, the game
was on ice.
"It was a good game to get
everybody into the action. I used
most of the players,” said
Krause.
Oregon will now head for
Portland to play a 3 p.m. game
today against Portland State
University at Civic Stadium. The
Vikings sport a losing record for
the first time in several years
and will be coming off an 18-0
shellacking at the hands of
Puget Sound when they face the
Ducks.
Krause s troops were sup
posed to return to Eugene to
Wednesday to face the Univer
sity of Nevada-Reno, but
weather reports of continuing
Oregon rain forced the Wolf
pack to stay home, where they
will make up some league
games.
Softball squad
shuts out host,
9-0, in Ashland
In a near-flawless game by
Oregon’s softball team, the
Ducks shut out Southern
Oregon State College, 9-0, in
Ashland Monday.
The Duck women easily
dominated the action on the
mound, at the plate and on the
field as Oregon rapped 12 hits
with no errors to improve their
record to 4-5.
“We had a field day," said
Oregon coach John Feeney of
the Ducks’ first game in the
state. “I’m really pleased with
the way everyone played —
especially Terry (Anderson).”
Anderson, pitching an almost
perfect game, claimed nine
strike-outs from the SOSC bat
ters to key the Duck victory.

SOSC ended the game with
