Oregon — better.
"Everyone feels like an Ore
gonian whether they are or not.
You sacrifice some things to
live in a place you enjoy."
"The pay is lousy and every
one knows that," said Buzz
Summers, who has coached
men's tennis for 25 years, the
longest stint of any Oregon
head coach. "It's the people in
the area and the lifestyle in Eu
gene. I've lived in bigger cities,
and I don't like it."
Both Dellingor and Tom

“It's not the pay." Hoinonon
said. "But in track and field it
doesn't really get any better
