Dan Nelson epitomized an wager and uncer
tain Oregon man # track team Saturday wi.en it
upset Washington State Univeraity, 86-77, and
ended the Cougar's 58 dual-meet victory streak.
Nelson, the 124-pound steeplechaser with a
lifetime best of 8:57.84, warmed up before the
event pumping a fist in determination whenever
fans yelled encouragement. He was ready to race.

even until the third leg when Oregon’s Mark Dan
