Reunion marks Ducks, Beaver meet
By JOHN HEALY
Of the Emerald
It will be a reunion of sorts
Saturday for Bill Dellinger and
Frank Morris.
Morris, in his third year as
head coach of the Oregon State
men's track and field program,
was an assistant at Oregon
under Dellinger from 1974 to
1979.
Recognized as one of the
country’s top weight event
coaches, Morris moved up to
Oregon State in 1979 when the
Beaver’s head coaching posi
tion opened.
But the frequent successes
that Morris enjoyed as a coach
at Oregon have been few at
Oregon State
The Ducks pounded the
Beavers by hefty margins in
Morris' first two years at Oregon
State Oregon won 126-37 in
Morris’ first year and 106-57 last
year.
“I'm sure they will be im
proved this year," says Del
linger.
One of the few areas in which
Oregon State will be favored is
the 400 meters, where the
Beavers have Kasheef Hassan,
the number two ranked 400
runner in the world in 1979 and
a former World Cup champion
Hassan, from Sudan, has
been slow to round into form
this year. He has run 46.8 this
year but has a lifetime best of
45.18.
Oregon will counter with so
phomore Parrish Nixon, who
has a best this year of 46.98 but
only ran 47.50 in the Duck’s
97-56 win over Kansas last
weekend.
Perhaps the best matchup of
the day will be in the javelin,
where Oregon’s Reidar Lorent
zen faces Oregon State’s Rich
Wolf.
Lorentzen, troubled by back
problems earlier this spring, ap
pears to have regained much of
his power. He won the javelin
against Kansas with a toss of
260-11, his second best throw
this year, but has a lifetime best

vaulters who have career bests
of over 16 feet, but the vaulter
with the top mark - Oregon’s
Jon Switzer - won't compete.
Switzer has a lifetime best of
17-9, but has missed the Duck’s
last three meets because of an
injured hamstring.
Beyond those events, it will be
a matter of how many points
Oregon can score.
Dellinger has done quite a bit
of shifting, moving his athletes
into events in which they don't
normally compete.
Two of the Duck’s best in
dividual athletes, Don Ward and
Lamar Hurd, will move out of
their specialties this weekend.
Ward, who missed last week’s
meet against Kansas, will shift
from the 400 intermediate hur
dles to the open 400, while
Hurd, who has the second-best
triple jump mark in school his
tory, will be limited to the long
jump.
Sprinter Larry Bradley will sit
out the 200, concentrating on
the 100 and the two relays, while
Nixon will double back from the
400 to run his first 200 of the
year.
Dean Crouser, who has won
the discus in the Duck’s last five
meets, will see if he can get any
closer to his goal this year of
surpassing the NCAA record.
Crouser broke Mac Wilkins’
1973 school record of 212-6 in
the discus with a toss of 213-0
last week. He needs a mark of
214-7 to break Borys Chambul’s
record, set in 1976.
For Oregon fans who travel to
Corvallis, Crouser’s tosses in
the discus could provide most of
the meet’s highlights.
But then, an NCAA record
isn’t exactly boring.
Lacrosse team
faces tough foe
here Saturday
Lacrosse enthusiasts will
have a chance to watch
Oregon's club sport lacrosse
team in action Saturday as the
Ducks square off against Mt.
Rainer.
’’Mt. Rainer is a strong team,”
says club sport lacrosse coach
Bob Bristol. "But if we play with
the same intensity that we did in
Portland, I think we can beat
them.”
The game is scheduled to
begin at noon on the intramural
field, located between Hayward
Field and the covered tennis
courts.
