Greg Aitkenhead has made the conversion from football in the
fall to track in the spring without too much trouble. Aitkenhead
has been a consistent point man for the Oregon men's track-and
field team.
Krieger voted top coach
Oregon golf coach Scott Krieger was named coach of the
year by the Pacific-10 Conference Tuesday.
Krieger led the Ducks to their best finish in 14 years as
Oregon placed second in the Pac-10 Championships in Walla
Walla. Wash.. last week.
Oregon finished behind UCLA for second place, the Ducks’
best finish since 1970 and 1971. Oregon led the tournament
the first two days.
The Ducks’ George Daves was also nominated to the
second-team All-Conference squad. Daves placed second in
the Pac-lO’s behind UCLA’s Duffy Waldorf, who was named
the conference’s golfer of the year.
The golfers will be holding their annual tournament Friday
at the Eugene Country Club beginning at 1 p.m. Professional
Peter Jacobsen will be at the tournament.

Last week during the Oregon Pepsi Relays,
Flax sat out the meet while his two primary
rivals, San )ose State’s Kjell Bystedt and
Washington State’s Tore Gustafson competed
against each other.
Flax felt he didn't need to prove anything
against the two.
“No, I’m going to let them knock themselves
out. I’m in no big hurry to go anywhere, and I’ll
worry about throwing far when it counts; today
doesn’t count, but it’s a good day to get a rest.”
“It’s interesting to see what they had to offer,
and I think they are both damn good throwers —
but they are both beatable. Anything can happen
on any given day.”
4No, I'm going to let them
knock themselves out. I'm in no
big hurry to go anywhere, and
I'll worry about throwing far
when it counts.'

Also on any given day, a guy like Jeff
Hultberg could walk into your program and liven
things up a bit.
The 6-2, 235-pound senior transferred from
the NCC and before that, he was voted Linn Ben
ton Community College’s most valuable com
petitor in the field events.
Hultberg is a Sheldon High School graduate,
who has stepped in and produced results. This
season, Hultberg has consistently competed —
and scored — in the shot, discus and hammer.
Improvement is the name of Togher’s game,
and Hultberg has followed the game plan almost
perfectly. For three weeks in a row, Hultberg up
ped his shot-put mark until he qualified for the
NCAA’s against UCLA.
“It was good to see him improve like that,
but it would have been better if it had been every
two weeks because he really got burned out there
by lifting himself up every week like that,”
Togher says.
“The other coaches agree that the dual
season, five or six weeks in a row, is tough. I
think dual meets are great. But I wish I had 12 or
14 throwers. That would be the ideal situation
then I could rest some guys up.”
Instead, Togher has about eight or 10
members on his throwing squad, and among
them is sophomore Greg Aitkenhead, who has
provided good competition for Hultberg in the
shot.
“It’s really fun,” Aitkenhead, also a member
of the Duck football team, says of working with
Togher. “I had a lot of fun in high school, but
here, everyday I look forward to coming out. Now
that it (Togher’s system) is starting to sink in, it’s
getting even more fun.”
The part of his season that will be most fun
could be just ahead as he aims for the NCAA
qualifying-mark of 61-0, just four inches past his
season best.
“(This year), I just wanted to build toward
later years because I know 60 is not much, so I’m
just trying to get a base and understand the con
cept so my junior and senior year, I can really do
something.”
Pac-10 tries to avert a Tulane
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Pacific-10 Conference basket
ball coaches want their players
to meet with an FBI agent or
“other qualified person” before
the start of practice next fall to
discuss the implications of
drugs and gambling and the
links between the two, it was
reported last week.
The coaches have asked the
conference administrative com
mittee to make it mandatory for
each team to schedule such a
meeting, according to Pac-10
Commissioner Tom Hansen.
The conference office is com
piling a list of qualified in
dividuals, including FBI
agents, the Los Angeles Herald
Examiner reported. Such a
move comes in the wake of the
drug and point-shaving scandal
at Tulane University.
Although professional sports
leagues and several individual
colleges — such as Stanford —
have brought in law enforce
ment officials to address their
players, the Pac-10 is believed
to be the first college conference
to do so.
The 10 coaches met in nearby
Torrance. They also went on
record as unanimously oppos
ing the promotion of college
basketball betting lines by
newspapers and television
stations.
“It all goes hand-in-hand,”
Southern California coach Stan
Morrison said. “A kid who is
vulnerable to cheating is
vulnerable to outside
influences.”
The coaches said they will
take advantage of a recent
amendment to NCAA rules that
allows them to meet with their
players during the off-season for
the purpose of academic or per
sonal counseling. Otherwise,
they could not meet with the
players until Oct. 15, when
practice begins.
“The Pac-10 basketball
coaches are concerned about
heading off potential pro
blems,” Arizona coach Lute
Olson, the chairman of the
league’s basketball coaches,
said. ‘‘The print and electronic
media need to cease promotion
of the college basketball betting
lines.
‘‘We need to counsel athletes
on the evils of drugs and gambl
ing as soon as they arrive on
campus. It’s critical to provide
the team members with infor
mation that will prevent the
problems before they happen
and not after. Then it’s too
late.”
