Brooks to test Duck gridders against alums
Ogburn, Brown
among returning
former players
By Steve Spate
WlttClMOU
A Who’s Who list of former Oregon
football greats will put down the beer cans
and pick up their helmets one more time
Saturday, as the present-day Duck gridders
close out spring drills with the semi-annual
Alumni game
Duck coach Rich Brooks is hoping the
1 p m game at Autzen Stadium will be more
than just a chance for the Alum's to strain
groaning muscles and bones “I'll be inter
ested by see how we react to game situa
tions," Brooks says "It will be good just to
go against different people for once "
Brooks and his staff will be looking for
more consistency" than Oregon has dis
played this spring ‘ Of course, we d like to
win too." Brooks adds with a laugh
Reggie Ogburn, Reggie Brown, Jack
Henderson and Steve Greatwood will be
among the Oregon Alumni suiting up San
Diego quarterback Dan Fouts, who made a
cameo appearance two years ago. may be
in attendance
The Ducks have been knocking heads
against each other in spring drills since
April 5, trying to come back from last year s
disasterous 2-9 season To pick up the
pieces. Brooks established si* priorities for
concern this spring
Following Thursday afternoon s final
practice, Brooks reflected on the progress
made in each area
Quarterback: Still muddled
The No 1 concern of the spring will
now be the top concern of the summer
Brooks has yet to find a reliable leader
amongst the trio of Kevin Lusk, Mike Jor
gensen and Edmund Rivera
"I haven't been pleased with the pro
gress there," Brooks says. “I could feel
differently after Saturday's game, but our
consistency and execution aren't good "
The spring injury to Mike Owens,
probably the best option quarterback in the
The pecking order
Who win be the quarterback when Oregon
hosts Arizona State Sept. 6 in the opener
next faN?
Mike Owens
4 sometime starter in 91, he’* set
out spring antis with shoulder
problems. When he's beck, who
knows where belt fit in. ‘Tm
disappointed diet Owens was hurt
and missed the remainder of
practice."
3. Edmund Rivera
One brilliant scrimmage has kept foe
walk-on in the running. “He has a
good arm, but he’s inconsistent and
hasn’t done foe job on foe option,"
1. Kevin Lusk
“He’s better at
returning the option, " says Brooks
"Tm disappointed in his passing
baaed abate* whet I expected.
1A. Mike Jorgensen
Brooks says he’s even with Lusk at
this point "He’s the best runner of
the bunch, ” he says. “He’s been hot
and cold with his passing, though
fold, was a disappointment to Brooks
Offensive Line: Same faces, new year
Nearly the same cast ravaged by injur
ies in '81 will be up front for the Ducks again
next fall Center Ryan Zinke, and guards
Gary Zimmerman and Scott Shepard, who
spent most of last season in hospital wards
will be the bulk of the up-front muscle
We made some progress this spring
but not as much as I would have liked."
Brooks says about his line We re still
uncertain in the tackle spot "
Only one of the heralded junior college
mammoths — tackle Ed Stringer — made an
impact this spring
Backfietd Speed: Surprise, surprise
Without the breakaway presence of
Dwight Robertson (running track) and
—
super recruit Kevin Wilhite (still in high
school), the Ducks went into spring ball
expecting little from the rag-tag team of
leftovers at tailback
Yet the surprise of the spring session
turned out to be Oregon's makeshift prac
tice backfietd The Ducks got maximum
mileage from unheralded tailbacks Todd
Bland and .flack
They, amtc with sgi^r Harry Billups
and fullback Terrence Jones, were cited by
Brooks as most improved area "I was very
pleased,” Brooks says “The progress we
made in terms of speed were good ”
Nagging injuries plagued the runners
this spring, especially Mack who will sit out
the Alumni game
Secondary: Filling the gaps
The major problem of replacing Joe
Figures Gary Beck and Ross Gibbs in the
defensive backfield proved to be little more
than minor
South Eugene grad Dan Wilken, who
made only one tackle all last season, is in
line for the free safety spot, along with Jeff
Williams "Wilken was a big surprise for us,”
Brooks says “I'm pretty pleased with the
progress "
Don Pellum and Devall Webster have
the strong safety spot well covered
Punting: Better booting
Duck punters combined for a 35 yard
average last season, well below their op
ponent's 40 3 yard average
To remedy the situation. Brooks
brought in Santa Barbara JC transfer Kevin
-----. - - —^
Hicks to fight with holdover Ken Burns
Hicks, who boomed long spirals in
practice Thursday, needs better support
from his lineman. Brooks was livid over a
blocked kick in yesterday’s practice, one of
numerous breakdowns in the kicking game
this spring
“We need to get more hangtime,”
Brooks says. "But we re better now than we
were last spring '
Choo Choo at receiver: Speedy
Choo Choo Young, kick and punt re
turn phenom, got a crack at the wide
receiver spot. "He has done well," Brooks
says. "He will defiriintely help up there He'll
give us a breakaway threat we need."
Young is suffering from a bruised
shoulder and may not see action Saturday.

The Northweet Coho go Women’s Sports Association is tot for its last
hurrah, and the Oregon women's track team will be the favorite to walk
away with its fifth straight title. Friday and Saturday in Missoula, Mont.
The NCWSA meet will be defunct with the Division I teams — Oregon.
Oregon State. Washington, and Washington State — Joining the northern
California schools in forming the NorPac Conference. The other Division
I schools - Montana and Montana State — will compete in the new.
Mountain West Conference
Oregon shouldn't have too much trouble winning the meet.The
Ducks have the top marks in all but three events in the region. Confident
that his team will win, Oregon coach Tom He kronen is saving expenses
by sending only 16 of the 31 athletes who have qualified for the meet
Instead he is saving money so that he can send all of his athletes who
qualify to the Pacific Coast Invitational, a meet he thinks is a better buy for
his money
"The level of competition (in Missoula) isn't worth the expense. I
would rather get them all to Berkeley." said Heinonen, who. as an
example of the budget for the NCWSA. is staying home and sending
sprint coach Mark Stream as the only coach.
The NCWSA does help the Ducks prepare for the NCAA meet by
giving them their first taste of the championship format this season
Instead of only six people in a race, Oregon athletes will go through heat
races to qualify for the finals, which lets a lot more "unknown" racers
have a chance of beating the favorites
"This meet will get us away from the dual meet setting and help us
get in the right frame of mind for the NCAAs. It takes us out of Hayward
Field and gives us more problems to contend with like travel, time
difference, and heat races," said Heinonen
Heinonen is looking for more of his athletes to qualify for the NCAAs.
especially Lisa Nicholson and Robin Pate in the hurdles. Rhonda Massey
in the 400, Ouenna Beasley in the shot put, Melanie Morrison in the
discus, and the 400 and mile relay teams.
"We certainly want to win this meet, especially since it's the last one
We ll do as much as we have to. to win. but we ll save our money and
psych for next week," said Heinonen
The California Golden Bears will attempt to gain another measure of
respectability this weekend in Berkeley when they host the Oregon men 's
track team
The Bears barged into the top levels of the Pac-10 track elite last
year posting a fourth-place conference finish and a tenth place at the
NCAA championships
"Cal is a good team and they have some real fine athletes, says
Oregon head coach Bill Dellinger
California is led by senior Larry Cowling, who will probably run the
100 and 200 meters, the high hurdles and anchor the short relay Cowling
is the defending conference and national high hurdles champion and
leads the Bears in tour events — the 100 (10 4), 200 (20 8), high hurdles
(13 64) and intermediate hurdles (50 83).
David Timmons gives the Bears quality in the 400 (46.24), and Tom
Downs will face Oregon's distance hordes in the 1.500 (3:45.2) and 5,000
(13:56 89) Mike Nelson has a best of 7-2V4 in the high jump; Ross
McAlexander has gone 17-5% in the pole vault; Bruce Parker has a best
of 61-11V* in the shot put; and the Bears mile relay team has posted a
time of 3:08 06
"We will have to take our best team and double up early, maybe Jim
Hill and Bill McChesney in the 1,500 and back in the 5,000. Dellinger
says
Cal is 8-2 in dual meets this year and beat Stanford 90-64 last Saturday
The Ducks. 4-1 this year, haven't lost to the Bears since 1901 They won
87-66 last year
Oregon has qualified 26 athletes for the Pac-10 meet, scheduled for
May 19-22 at Hayward Field, and nine for the NCAA's, slated June 1-5 in
Provo, Utah
The Oregon women's tennis team lost to the University of Washing
ton 6-3 but defeated Washington State 9-0 in the first rounds of the
Northwest College Women's Sports Association championships on
campus Thursday The Ducks face Oregon State today and the winner of
that match goes on to play for second place with the loser of the Montana
State-Washington match
Qualifying for AIAW nationals will begin Saturday.
The Oregon women's softball team faces Oregon State Sunday at 1
p m in Corvallis The Ducks, 6-9-1 on the season, will pitch Stephanie
Heisler in the first game and come back with either Janet Wright or Marci
Sowa in the second game
