Best bets
Though Oregon may not have the depth to challenge for
the Pac-lO crown, several Deck athletes rate as favorites
-Asm
Dean Crouser
Undoubtedly the boot all-around weight
man In tha collegiate ranks today, tha
Gresham, Oregon native to the heavy
(favorite In both tha discus (208-3) and
shot put (88-3%).
(3:40.42, 2nd best) and the 5,000
(13:30.52, 2nd test). Oregon coach Bill
Dellinger detared Mitl in both, to decide
which he wMI run at nationals.
David Mack
The two-time defending champion in the
800, Mack’s best time Ms year (1:48.2)
Is two seconds off his lifetime best of
1:46.1. He’s also clocked a 3:45.11 in the
1,500-meters.
Bill McChesney
Though only credited with the fifth best
time in the conference this year at
5,000-meters (13:51:80), the world-class
runner has hatted Injuries to become a
favorite in either the 5,000 or 10,000.
Devils
Continued from Page 10
pair of freshmen — Cory Randall and Brian Crouser.
Randall, with a best of 8:45 62, should take fourth in the
steeplechase, while Crouser will finish in the runner-up
spot in the javelin Kent Landerholm should provide
points in the hammer and George Walcott points in the
sprints, but the best either can hope for is a fifth for sixth
place finish
CALIFORNIA - 53
Cal is perhaps an athlete away from unseating
Oregon for the Pac-10's fourth spot at the conference
meet And the Golden Bears do have that athlete — 1980
shotput/discus winner Dave Porath Unfortunately,
he’s redshirting this year, and with him on the sidelines,
Cal can at best hope for a fifth place finish. Larry
Cowling is head and shoulders above the rest of the
Bears He won the Pac-10 and NCAA high hurdles last
year and runnerup in the intermediate hurdles Look for
him to take both this year
ARIZONA - 35
Arizona has an outstanding short relay team, and
like Arizona State, their strength lies with their sprinters
and jumpers But they have neither the quality or
quantity of the Sun Devils The 400 relay team will lose
only to Arizona State, the 1,600 relay team should finish
fourth.
Former South Eugene star Jeff Hess will finish third
in the steeplechase
OREGON STATE - 33
Former Oregon assistant coach Frank Morris has
put the Beavers back on the road to respectability — but
they haven’t moved into the conferences first division
yet Fricker’s second in the 1,500 and Kasheef Hassdn’s
win in the 400 will be the Beaver's main source of points.
But look for Shannon Sullivan, the defending champ, to
take second in the pole vault behind Curran of UCLA,
and for Ron Schmidt to finish fourth in the discus.
use-30
Gone are the glory years in track and field for the
Trojans. From 1974-77 USC won four consecutive
Pac-10 titles, but don’t expect that this year. The best of
the Trojans is sprinter Darwin Cook, who will take a pair
of fourths in the sprints, and hurdler Milan Stewart, who
will finish behind Cowling in the highs and take a sixth in
the intermediates.
WASHINGTON-19
Decathlete Steve Erickson and discus thrower
Doug Woolen are the only hopes for Husky titles.
Erickson looks like a much surer bet, since Woolen
must face Crouser in the discus. Also, look for Mike
Mahovlich in the javelin.
STANFORD - 8
What can you say? They will score eight points — as
a team, thanks to Sean Pickering’s third in the hammer
and Bill Graham’s fifth in the 10,000.
