Oregon's top golfer at the
Pac-10 meet, Scott Krieger, is in
ninth place after three rounds.
Golfers second
With one round to go at the
Pacific-10 Conference golf
championships, Oregon’s
men’s golf team is firmly in
second place with 1,110
strokes.
Arizona State University is the
overall leader after three
rounds, coming in at 1,094.
The Oregon team is in good
position for the title, said men's
golf coach Scott Tuttle. "We
shot a little bit better as a team
today, but ASU played a little bit
better.”
Oregon’s top golfer after two
days of competition is Scott
Kreiger, 76-70-75 - 221.
Kreiger is tied for ninth with the
Sun Devil’s Mike Homermister.
Leading the field of nine
Pac-10 schools is ASU’s Dan
Forsman, 71-71-69, who is two
under par on the par-71,
6,835-yard course at Stanford,
Calif.
Following only one stroke
behind Forsman is USC’s Ron
Commons, 70-75-67 — 212. The
Trojans are in third place with
1,118 strokes. The University of
Arizona is fourth (1,123) while
UCLA and Stanford are tied for
fifth at 1,125.
Oregon State University is
alone in last place 1,191 after
shooting a 394 round today.
The Ducks golfers are
grouped tightly together with
only 12 strokes separating the
six. Kreiger is followed by Eric
Johnson and Steve Bowen (222
each), Shell Joyner (223), Dave
DeLong (228) and Jim Livsay
(233).
If the Ducks can maintain
second place, this year's team
will become the first Oregon
squad since 1977, when Oregon
took the championship, to finish
in the top two and earn a trip to
nationals.
"We’re in a good position to
go to nationals,” said Tuttle.
“I'm positive we’ll be invited."
The nine teams will play the
final round of the 72-hole tour
nament today
Athletes roll toward national meet
in regional wheelchair qualifying
‘‘Wheelchair athletics — red
hot and rolling," says a poster
promoting the Northwest
wheelchair qualifying meet.
This weekend, wheelchair
athletes from around the North
west will gather in Eugene hop
ing for a trip to nationals in their
specialty — track and field
events, swimming, weightlifting
and a variety of other competi
tive activities.
Competition doesn’t stop just
because of a wheelchair, says
Chester Faller, one of three
University students entered in
the meet.
A total of 68 athletes will be
involved, says Faller.
‘‘These are competitive ath
letes,” Faller says. ‘‘Not kids.
We don’t have designated hug
gers at the end of a race — we
have winners.”
The wheelchair athletes claim
no association with a more
famous, but non-competitive,
activity for the handicapped.
“This isn’t the Special Olym
pics,” Fallers says.
“The Special Olympics is
strictly non-competitive. This is
strictly competitive. The ath
letes spend time and money
training and traveling — prepar
ing for competition.
The meet will include events
from both the National Wheel

chair Athletic Association and
the national cerebral palsy ath
letic association.
The three-day competition
will begin Friday with weightlift
ing at 8:30 a m.
Lacrosse team challenges
league’s defending champs
After winning three games in
a row, the University lacrosse
team will try for number four as it
takes on the defending league
champion Saturday.
The Ducks will face a Seattle
team that has lost a number of
people, said lacrosse coach
Bob Bristol, “while we lost very
few. We should do well against
them.’’
The two teams will meet on
the intramural field behind the

Last Saturday, the Ducks
defeated Mt. Rainier, 7-6, after
trailing 4-1 at the half. “It was a
close game,” Bristol said. “And
it gives us an indication how
we’ll do against Seattle.”
Mt. Rainier defeated the Seat
