No harm in stretching spring break stories

I all mv Iriends, Dennis
ih the I>est storyteller He
V-/ knows just the right
amount of eml»e|lishmant need
ed to spii o up a story to moke it
memorable Vet he limits Ins
exaggeration to keep the story
believable
That's why I w ish I could be
in Ins father's family room this
week when Dennis tells his dad
about our spring break, a week
devoted to northwestern sport
ing m tivities
With Dennis' father, you get
instant feedback on the quality
of story your're telling. If it's o
really good one. he'll pour you a
double martini If he's getting
bored, you're stuck with a Hud
In order to get one of those
famed double-martinis. I predii t
Dennis' stories will sound some
thing like this
The Fishing Story — Using
only flv i asting equipment, we
hooked into a 27-inch trout on
the Sandy River
Wluit Really Happened — We
realty did see flv i asting equip
merit. the Sandy River and a 27
im.lt trout — just not all at the
same time After !>«ing skunked
on the Sandy, we stopped bv a
trout farm just to make sure that
some trout still did exist in Ore
gon At the farm, we ran into the
happiest 8-yeor-old boy in
Ameru a who was strolling to
carry the largest trout 1 had ever
seen to a (.ar
While the struggle with the
27-in< her had been the liattle of
a lifetime for the kid. the calt.h
had been bittersweet for the
boy's father. In addition to tak
ing a big bite out of a worm, the
fish hod token a bite out of the
father's wallet, w ith the one fish
totaling $20 at the form's regis

As for the fly casting, well, if
you haven't seen the movie "A
River Huns Through It." it's a
good one.
The Coifing Story — On the
final hole of match play at one
of British Columbia's finest
courses, we made up two
strokes on our opponents, giving
us a well-fought win over two of
the country c.tub's l»est golfers
What Really Happened — It is
true thut we had a close golf
match, but I doubt the two
ladies in their mid*S0s were the
club's lies! golfers Their strategy
of hitting the ball straight (but
only 50 yards at n time) worked
well against our strategy of hil
ling I he hall as hard and ns
errant as possible.
In fact. I (old Dennis, ns his
hall flew high and deep into the
woods surrounding the course,
that 1 had never seen him hit the
ball so well.
We also sow five Hold bogles
while gulling. They were follow
ing our foursome, scavenging
the dead small animals our way
ward shots had killed
The Cross Country Skiing Sto
ry — We made a rare springtime
ascent of Mount Mood using
only cross-country skis.
What Really Happened — I
thought the black diamond signs
at Timberline meant "Trail
head.'' not “Most Difficult Run."
The prominent thought in my
mind as I went downhill wear
ing the cross-country skis was "I
hope my health insurance hasn't
expired."
The three minute descent of
the downhill course was breath
taking: the hour long ascent lan k
up the hill (we had no lift ticket)
was also breathtaking
The "Wo Sow the Host Teams
in the Northwest” Story — We
saw two of the "hottest " teams
in the northwest play — the
Seattle Supersonic* and the
Vancouver Canucks. As an
added bonus, the Sonics were
play mg the Trailblazers. and the
Canucks were ploying the
Wayne Gret/-ky-led Los Angeles
Kings
What Really Happened — We
were in the Kingdoms while the
basketball game was going on,
but from our third balcony seats,
among the 37.000 fans who bad
chosen to gather in the less than
intimate setting, we couldn't
really tell which team had the
hall Clyde Drexler might have
returned from his hamstring
injury. Sean Kemp might have
scored 40 points. For all I know,
Bill Walton might have played.
After driving three hours to
the Vancouver Arena in order to
see "The ('.rent One.” we were
willing to pay anything to see
the Canucks and Kings brawl on
ice.
Anything, that is, except the
$100 the scalpers at the arena
wanted for a ticket. We tried
some international arbitrage,
telling the scalpers that 20 Unit
ed States dollars were worth 100
Canadian dollars, but they
didn't fall for it.
There was a large screen TV at
the hotel bar, though
Come to think of it. Dennis'
dad might give him a martini
even if he just tells him the truth

Men’s golf

The Oregon men's golf
team traveled to California

place after the first round
Wednesday. The Ducks came
bat k with a 298 in the after
noon round to finish tied
