Beavers in uphill battle
Some quality athletes returning to OSU track
By John Healy
Times have been tough for the
Oregon State men's track
program
The Beavers have fallen a long
way from being a national track
power in the mid '70s. Back in
1972, Oregon State finished the
year as the sixth-ranked dual
meet team in the nation. They
followed that in '73 with a
1Oth-place ranking and in '74 with
a fifth-place ranking
And, in '74, the Beavers beat
Oregon 88-75, the only time they
have won the dual meet series
since a win in 1969
The Beavers took a nosedive in
the late '70s, losing to Oregon by
larger and larger margins Current
Oregon coach Bill Dellinger has
beaten the Beavers eight out of
nine times, and in the last three
years the Ducks have scored over
100 points against the Beavers in
each meet
Once again, it appears Oregon
State just doesn't have the
numbers to challenge Oregon
But, unlike past years, the
Beavers do have a few quality
athletes, which is a definite step
up from the late '70s, when Ore
gon State didn't have much of
anybody.
Oregon State can thank Frank
Morris, the former Oregon weight
events coach, for starting Oregon
State back on the road to
respectability.
Although the Ducks have pretty
much had their way with Oregon
State since Morris arrived, thanks
to superior depth, the new Beaver
coach has improved Oregon
State's stock in the Pac-10
championships, moving the
Beavers from ninth to eighth to
seventh in that period
The steadiest — and flashiest —
of the Beavers over the last few
years has been '79 World Cup
CUERVO ESPECIAL * TEQUILA 80 PROOF
IMPORTED AND BOTTLED BTC 1981 HEUBLElV INC - HARTFORD CONN
and NCAA champion Kasheef
Hassan. Known in the past more
for his 400 meter times (45 18),
Hassan has moved around this
year, running the 200, 400 and
800 He'll be entered In the 200
(20.7) and 400 Saturday, and
while he won't face much
competition in the 400, the Ducks'
George Wallcott, with a best of
20 83, should challenge Hassan
in the 200
The biggest surprise this year
for Morris has been Mark Fricker,
who ran 3:38 9 last week in the
Mt Sac Relays He will face a stiff
challenge from Oregon s Jim Hill
(3:41.33), who also has the
fastest 5,000 time (13:30.52) in
the Pac-10 this year
The only other Beavers of note
are Mark White in the intermediate
hurdles (51 1), Shannon Sullivan
in the pole vault (17-7), and Ken
Taylor in the triple jump (50-V?)
Oregon won't be at full strength
this weekend, as sprinters Parrish
Nixon and Mark James will sit out
the meet, as will jumper Lamar
Hurd
Duck cagers
lure 6-1 guard
to Mac Court
Oregon basketball coach Jim
Haney added a second recruit to
his program with the signing of
6-1 guard Donald Dutton from
Wilmington, Del
Dutton, from Howard High
School in Wilmington, was the
second-highest scorer in
Delaware high schools last
season with an average of 24 7
points per game
The Ducks add Dutton to a list
of guards that includes 6-3 junior
Fred Cofield, 6-3 senior Gary
Gatewood, 6-4 senior Paul Bain,
6-1 sophomore Scott Perry, 6-6
sophomore Bryan Trendell and
6-3 sophomore Greg Bell
Oregon hopes to utilize Dut
ton's scoring capabilities in the
future, if he can break out from
the pack of what has become a
team with nearly half of its players
at the guard position
At Howard High, Dutton was a
three-year starter on a team that
compiled a 55-13 record in his
three seasons He was an all-state
selection the past two seasons,
and led his school to three straight
state tournament berths, and the
state runner-up title in 1981
He was the only player from
Delaware to be named to a
15-player all-area team from
Delware, New Jersey and
Southeast Pennsylvania
Dutton is the second recruit to
join the Ducks, following the
signing of 6-6 forward Kenny
Sprague from Santa Monica, Ca
lif Sprague is a prep standout in
Southern California who was
highly recruited by Oregon State
before having much interest in
him drop off after an injury to his
knee last fall
