Sports Men look to keep streak afloat, face Cal in last home dual meet By Aaron Knox Of thr Hurt jM The Oregon men’s track team will have no shortage of incentives on Saturday when it hosts the l University of (California in its final home dual meet of the season The Ducks (4-0) are riding the longest winn ing streak of coach Bill Dellinger's career, with 12-straight regular-season dual victories. The last team to beat them? (Cal The Bears edged Oregon, 89-74, at Hayward Field two years ago, almost to the day. A victory Saturday would all hut assure a se cond consecutive undefeated season. The Ducks conclude their dual-meet schedule May 9 at Oregon State, but the Beavers do not represent a serious threat (California does. Oregon also would like to enhance its claim on the Track and Field News dual-meet cham pionship. After finishing second a year ago, tin1 Ducks would like to overhaul UCLA for the team title. I!(Cl,A handed California (10-1) its oidy loss so far this season, thumping the Bears 100‘/a-62V*. at Berkeley. When the Ducks beat (Cal last season, two Oregon runners were disqualified on a controver sial humping incident during the 5,000 meters. The Webfoots hung on to win 80-79, hut the vie tory was less convincing because of disqualifica tion, and the score may have contributed to Oregon’s failure to overtake' l JO LA in the dual meet rankings.

Oal’s Atlee Mahorn. the NOAA runner-up at 200 meters a year ago. leads a strong sprint lineup. “I’ve been building up to this week,” said Dannis. "Not necessarily to beat him (Mahorn), but I would like to follow him in under 20.70 (the NOAA standard).” The senior set a I’K last week with a time of 2 1 l‘i Dellinger also likes Dannis’ chances ’’lie’s been getting faster every week, and a little toil w ind might put him in," the Duck mentor said The rest of the meet should follow traditional Oregon form, with Oal giving up points in the middle and longer distant es, while the I)ut ks try to chip away at a superior sprinting Turn to Field,Page 0 Golfers leave 'bogey blues' behind them By Dan Goulet ()l th«* Kmrralcl After being clubbed hard by Pacific 10 Conference rivals in the last two tournaments, Oregon’s men’s golf team will attempt to leave the bogey blues behind when it travels to Provo, Utah for the Cougar Classic today. Oregon will have a new look this tournament. Sophomore Steve hrieger will make his first trip of the year and try to help curb the avalanche of numbers that have piled up on Duck score cards lately. Why have the Ducks slumped from last year’s second-place, Pac-10 finish? The loss of two time all-Pac-l() player George Daves is easy to point at. However, other factors bigger than his absence have set in. Strong competition coupled with sloppy play is the recipe for any team’s demise, and Oregon is becoming the gourmet feast of many opponents. Rarely has any team had to face the strong caliber of teams, week in and week out, like c o p All Day Every Day Mon.-Fri. 8:30-8:00pm Sat. 10-6pm Print America 519 E. 13th 485-1940 I E S Oregon has. Top-20 teams Brigham Young University. Arizona State University. University of Arizona. Fresno State University. UOI.A and USO have followed the Ducks like a shadow. Coach Scott hrieger believes his players will bounce back, though. “We’ve been playing in real windy weather, and we re not a very good windy team because we never get it.” he said. “If we hit the ball better, it will all fall into place." But lately things have been falling apart. The only birdies Oregon has come close to get ting arc the ones that live in trees "We've got to control our tee shots; we can’t score well from the trees." krieger said. Oregon's top player, Steve Rintoul, is playing well but not brilliantly. Kven it he were play ing better, it would not matter because no one is giving him support It may be too early to raise the white flag, but the Duck perfor mance at Hrigham Young will give a strong indication as to how good or how poor Oregon’s chances are in the Pac-10 cham pionships less than two weeks away. .\Bookstore— You can’t beat our low, low photo prices Film & Photo Processing • k Guamdeed v Lowest Prices ,r" We’ll match or beat the price of any local photo coupon.
