Shifting pays off for Oregon men,
halts WSU's 10-year home mark
By Aaron Knox

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

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.
