From Associated Prsss Reports Oregon State basketball coach Ralph Miller admits he has talked to Kansas Athletic Director Monte Johnson about returning to his alma mater to complete his coaching career. “But it was a very casual conversation,” said the 64-year-old Miller. “I’m an alumnus of KU and I happen to be a basketball coach and so I did talk to him to see if I could be of any help, and not necessarily for myself.” Miller has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Ted Owens, who was fired from the Kansas job, but he downplayed the report in a telephone interview Tuesday from California, where he is vacationing. Miller is third among active coaches in vic tories with 557-309 record in 32 years as a major college coach. He coached at Wichita State and Iowa before coming to Oregon State in 1970. The Oregon State coach’s conversation with Johnson occurred during the NCAA coaches convention held in conjunction with the final four over the weekend in Albuquerque, N.M. “There has been no official offer,” said Miller. “To me, it's strictly a rumor. Rumors are just rumors until something official happens.” Miller was born in Chanute, Kan., and is a 1942 graduate of Kansas, where he was the starting quarterback in football and a three-year letterman in basketball under Phog Allen. Three years ago, Miller was inducted into the Kansas Hall of Fame and the Kansas University Athletic Hall of Fame. Would he return to Kansas if the job were offered? “It would depend,” Miller said. “We certainly haven't thought about it to this extent but if anything should transpire it would be because this is my alma mater and I would sure have to consider it. ” Since moving to Corvallis, Miller has said on more than one occasion that he would not like to return to the cold winters of the Midwest. Miller’s annual salary at Oregon State is $49,560, not including revenue from his lucrative basketball camp, but Beavers' Athletic Director Dee Andros is trying to get him a raise. Andros has asked Miller’s salary to be raised to $54,880 in the next fiscal year. That would put him ahead of the $52,000 being paid to new Oregon coach Don Monson. "I’m no spring chicken,” Miller said, "but if my health permits, I see no reason why I can’t continue coaching another three, four or five years." Andros said Miller “can continue to coach here as long as he wants to, as long as his health is good.” Miller also promised Charlie Sitton, cur rently a junior, that he would remain as coach at Oregon State throughout Sitton’s career at the school. Andros said he hasn’t been approached by Kansas officials about talking to Miller. “I cant take this seriously until someone calls me for permission," Andros said I know Ralph is very highly thought of back there He's one of their all-time great athletes, so the talk doesn't surprise me." Beavers sweep softballers “They’re beatable,” said Oregon coach P.J. Harlin after the Duck's doubleheader loss to Oregon State at Corvallis in NorPac softball action last Tuesday. But only if Oregon gets some offense and stops mak ing errors. OSU swept both games, by scores of 6-1 and 3-1. to drop the Ducks record I ■ .- - ■ i to a 1-2 count for the year. OSU boasts one of the top hitting and pitching combo's in the NorPac conference in the tikes of catcher Erin Capps and pitcher Trina Marvin. Capps came into the game with a league-leading .556 bat ting average and the Ducks found out her hitting was for real. i Tabb, Salazar headline Prefontaine Classic EUGENE (AP) — World record holders Mary Decker Tabb and Alberto Salazar are scheduled to headline the Prefont aine Classic track and field meet here June 4 Tabb, winner of the Sullivan Award as amateur athlete of the year in 1982, will be returning to the Hayward Field track where she set world records for 5,000 and 10,000 meters last year The distance of Tabb's Prefontaine Classic race has yet to be determined, but meet director Patrick Holleran said the field likely will include Fifth Avenue Mils champion Debbie Scott of Canada Salazar, the holder of the world record in the marathon as well as the American record at 5,000 and 10,000 meters, will run in a 10,000 meter race sponsored by Runner's World magazine Holleran said the field will include Bill McChesney of Eugene, who holds the third fastest U S time at 5,000 meters Capps went 2-for-2 with an RBI in helping the Beavers win the second game and hold off a late Oregon rally. “Capps was making good solid contact today,” Harlin said. "However most of their runs were scored on errors.” The errors, nine all together (five in the first game and four in the second), spelled the Ducks’ demise and could be attributed to the team’s first NorPac league game and a case of the 'itters. "It was our first conference game and the girls were a little uptight," Harlin said. "We had real weak hitting, but our base running was outstanding.” "She (Marvin) wasn’t over whelming today,” Harlin said. "I thought the other pitcher (Joan Haivey who won the se cond game) had a tougher game." "It is very frustrating. We were very uptight," Davison said. “I think we learned a lot from this series against OSU." The learning process will continue as the Ducks host the Vikings of Portland State in a contest at the softball field, south of Hayward Field at 2:30 p.m. today.
