Sports Shifting pays off for Oregon men, halts WSU's 10-year home mark By Aaron Knox Of I hr f mrr.tlif Sometimes in !ra< k and field, a team score can be as important .is the points themselves. That was certainly the case on Saturday, when the Oregon men's track team executed a timely gamble by the coaching staff to defeat host Washington State. ‘>3-70. in a dual-meet showdown that was closer than the; final score indicated. The win was the first home loss for the Cougars in ten years and the 13th-straight dual-meet success for the Ducks. Oregon now leads the series with U SD 33-22. and has won the* last two matchups. After 1 I events, the Ducks held a tenuous 4'Mt> lead, and the gusting Pullman. Wash., winds had just brought J.|. Birden’s scoring parade to a grinding halt. The flashy junior, who has been a virtual scoring machine; in three events, was shut out. He never mustered the winds on the long jump run way, fouling on five; of six at tempts find finishing sixth. Birden seemed to carry the ef fects of his performance to the t 10-meter hurdles, which began almost immediately after his final jump. He went down crossing the sixth hurdle and ditl not finish the race, and Oregon was behind form-chart projections despite the narrow lead. It was in the 400-meters that Oregon coach Hill Dellinger made the first in a series of moves that would turn the tide convincingly for the Ducks Success depended on junior transfer Hat banning, who was a known quantity, but everything revoIved u11 i m a t eIv on untested, but mut h-heralded hurdler Pedro Chiamulera. “A calculated risk.” conceded assistant coach John Gillespie. Ghiamulera is the South American champion in both hurdle distances, but injury had kept him out of action since January. If he could run the in termediates. banning would be free to run the 400 and the 200 Oregon gets 8th at Fresno By Dan (ioulet ()t the hmrr.tlil The Oregon men’s golf team didn't quite play up to par last weekend. In fact, they barely played up to bogie, finishing a disappoin ting eighth place in the Fresno State ('lassie at Fresno, Calif. After a si/./.ling opening round that left Oregon just four strokes back and tied for fourth, the 19th-ranked Ducks came up lame the final two rounds and lost by 99 strokes to the even tual tournament champion t Iniversitv of Arizona. Before the tournament, coach Scott krieger felt Oregon would finish in the top six; however, he didn’t anticipate the poor play he got from bis top players. Seniors Steve Rintoui and Rob Huff, the two best golfers on the team, fired second and third-round scores resembling a double-overtime victory by the Los Angeles Lakers, rather than the performance of a Top-20 golf team. After a three-under-par first round, Rintoui bogied bis way to a 77 and a 79. Huff was worse with an HO-77, and the Ducks were dead. Oregon senior Tony Joyner had a team-best 219 total that left him just 10 shots hack of in dividual champion Robert Gamez of Arizona. Joyner fired two impressive rounds of 71. hut he also ballooned for a 77. Sophomore Tim Hval, like tin; rest of the Ducks, came out hot (7:t in the first round), hut faded in the final round (77). Still, he claimed second place on the team and finished 11! back of Gamez.
