Oregon Daily ElT16r.r''v ImeraM The final chapter In the famous Oregon -Washington State dual-meet rivalry will he written Saturday as the men's and women's track teams con clude their dual-meet seasons in Pullman, Wash. Washington State men's coach John Chaplin said the meet will probably mark the final time the Cougars and Ducks ever face each other in a dual meet. "There just isn't any interest in dual meets anymore," Chap lin said. "With the reduction in the amounts of scholarships available, you just don't see any depth on track teams anymore. No fan wants to see a 20-foot long jumper or a 40-foot shot putter." Chaplin said Oregon and WSU will continue to meet each year, but the meet would lie a four-way meet involving two additional teams. "With four teams, there is more for fans to see." Chaplin said. "I think the four-way meet Oregon hosts each year, the Pep si Invitational (to take place May 1). is probably the best meet in Eugene." The annual meet between the Cougars and Ducks, first held in 1008, marks one of the fiercest rivalries in track and field The meet drew national attention in 1078 when WSU's Henry Rono ran 8 14 7 in the steeplechase, which was the fastest steeple chase in the l Jnited States at that time. Oregon leads the all-time series 35-24. but WSU has won the last two meets, including the close 85-78 score last year that featured a memorable relay JOIN NOW!
