Sports Oregon’s Hayes favored, but Ducks aren’t By Paul Danzer 01 th* Emerald This might have been the week that the Oregon women’s track team would be busy winning their first national championship. But the Ducks will in stead be looking for a finish in the top 10 as they bat tle the heat and humidity at the NCAA track and field championships in Houston. While UCLA will be busy trying to defend its title against challenges from Tennessee, Florida State, and Nebraska, the Ducks should have enough firepower to score in the mid-60s and hold off Arizona and host Houston for the seventh spot. With distance aces Leann Warren and Eryn Forbes s*ong with Javelin standouts Sally Harmon and Lynda Hughes the most notable absences from the Oregon entourage, the Ducks are missing 57 points from the squad that landed a fourth-place finish in last year's NCAA meet. Add that to the 60-plus points they hope to compile this week, and the Ducks would be a serious threat for the team title. But what might have been must take the b^ck seat as the Ducks make their 11th appearance in na tional competition since the women’s program was born in 1972. Kathy Hayes, the collegiate record holder in the 5,000, is the only Duck favored to win an event as the competition gets into full swing this afternoon. Hayes, who is getting over a short bout with the flu, will run only in the 5,000, even though she would be favored to place high in the 3,000. Oregon coach Tom Heinonen, who is not at all happy with the times of the women’s distance events at the meet, figures Hayes will have the added advan tage of being fresh for the 5,000 if she doesn’t double in the 3,000. Heinonen's displeasure with the times of the distance races stems from the fact that most of the women's distance events are slated to kick off each day’s program, which means they will be run in the teat of the day. The men’s distance events are scheduled after the sun sets. While Hayes is the only Duck playing the Photo by Bob Baker Oregon coach Tom Heinonen hopes Kathy Hayes will be smiling after the 5,000-meter favorite competes in the NCAA championships in Houston this week. favorite’s role, the Ducks do expect to pile up points in the distances. Lisa Martin and Rosa Gutierrez will run today’s 10,000 for the Ducks. Both should be able to pick up some points, with Martin, who has a best time of 33:12.1, picked to finish as high as fourth. Martin and Gutierrez are both slated to double up and join Hayes in the 5,000 field, which runs semi finals on Thursday and finals on Saturday. Martin, with a best of 16:08.81 could give the Ducks two top 10 finishers in the event. Also entered in the 5,000 is senior Allison Snow, who will double in the 3,000. Snow cut her time in the 5,000 by 27 seconds this spring, and another 15 ticks he Doctor finds Rivers’ cm The Doctor found a 115-108 cure for the championship-less Philadelphia ’76ers last night in the Los Angeles Forum as the 76ers posted a fourth straight win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA championship series. Julius Erving, the man who may have wanted a championship ring more than any other Philadelphian, went on a seven point tear in the final two minutes of the game to lead the Sixers to yet another last minute win. But Erving, better known as “Dr. J,” had a lot of help from Moses Malone who parted the Lakers’ defense for 24 points and stuffed the Lakers’ offense with 23 rebounds. Erving finished with 19 points. Kareem Abdul Jabbar led the ■ r Lakers with 28 points while Earvin “Magic” Johnson ended with 27 points. The Sixers began their surge at the start of the fourth quarter. With Jabbar on the bench, Philadelphia put on an 11-2 blitz to pull within two points at 95-93. The 33-year-old Doctor tied the game at 106 on a break-away steal with a monster jam at the other end of the floor. L.A. went ahead 107-106 on a Magic free throw, but Erving turned a two-on-one feed from Maurice Cheeks into a three point play to give the Sixers the game, series and champion ship. The Doctor’s three points with just 59 seconds remaining also gave Philadelphia its first lead since the first quarter. in the 3,000. Another doubling Duck will be Ranza Clark, who will run in both the 800 and 1,500. Clark was penciled in for just the 800, but Heinonen decided to double her after she ran a PR 4:16.5 at last week's OSU twilight meet. That time is the second best time in the 1,500 field behind Cal's Louise Romo, the race favorite, who has a fastest time of 4:16.24. Also entered in today’s 1,500 preliminaries are Oregon’s Claudette Groenendaal and Kim Roth, so the Ducks could pile up the points in that event. Groenendaal has a best of 4:18.48, and Roth has covered the distance in 4:20.43. The Ducks also expect to get some points from spark plug Lexie Miller Beck in both hurdle events. The senior school record-holder in both the 100 and 400-meter hurdles should place in the top-10 in both events. She will be joined in the 100 by Kay Garnett, and in the intermediates by Lisa Nicholson. While the meet title will be decided in the sprints, Oregon will not be heard from there. The Ducks will be loud in the throws. Roz Rouse will enter Friday’s javelin competition with a legitimate shot at second place behind Nebraska’s Denise Thiemard, who has a best of 201-3. Rouse’s PR is 180-0. Also potential point scorers in the javelin are Julie Vobora and Karen Martin. The Ducks should also get some points from record-holder Quenna Beasley, who should finish in the top 10 in both the shot put and discus competition. In addition to the 10,000 finals, today’ events in clude the trials in the 3,000, 4?0-hurdles, 1,500, jcvelin and shot put. II et ai.
