Importance of football at Clack
amas: Head Coach Gary Gehrman and
Defensive Coach Paul Fiskum brought
up some interested points at the Athlet
ic Study Committee meeting held Wed
nesday, Nov. 2 concerning the import
ance of football at Clackamas and what
it meant to the people involved.
Both Gehrman and Fiskum said that
without
football
they
personally
wouldn't be where they are today in
coaching and with degrees.
Gehrman pointed out that Clacka
mas provides an opportunity to local
athletes to make a choice, whereas if
Clackamas football wasn't here the ath
lete would have to go somewhere else
and in some cases it would be an added
burden to both the athlete and the
athlete's family.
"Takingaway football at Clackamas
would be denying the skilled athlete
the chance to participate on his level
and thus disrupt the athlete's total
well-being," Gehrman said.
As to the importance to the people
involved, Gehrman said that none of his
assistants are earning a full salary and
that one of his coaches is coaching
gratis.
Kelly Britz qualified for the national cross
country meet last Saturday at the Region 18
Championships in Eugene. Britz's time was
26:34 for fourth place. He could not, however,
provide the points needed for the rest of the
team to qualify as they placed third.
"The statistics show it. We let people beat
us that shouldn't have," Coach Buck Monroe
said. "Greg Mischel pulled it up and did a
good job."
Mischel placed 22nd in team placement.
Ken Wanvig and Akan Knoop took 15th and
16th. Don Brown and Rick Jones fell below
expectations, however, placing 27th and 29th.
"Brown and Jones performancesreally hurt
us," Monroe said. "The others would have
done better if they would have run faster
earlier but they were just too far off the pace.
"I look forward to Kelly running well at
the nationals," Monroe said. "He'll be running
on a flat course and heshould just eat it up.
"I think he has an outside chance of beat
ing Lane's Ken Martin," Monroe said. "I
think he'll place in the top 20 there."
The national championships will be held
this Saturday in Tucson, Arizona at Perna
College.

■Clackamas and Treasure Valley con-
freahistory of being very hot and the
«generally been close with Treasure
[leading the six-year series, 4-2.
Treasure Valley won the first two contests
in 1971 and 1972 by the scores of 42-6 and
19-13 before Clackamas won their first game
in 1973, 26-14.
The Cougars also won the
next encounter on a disputed field goal in the
closing seconds, 25-24.
Treasure Valley bounced back to win the
next two games 34-20 in 1975 and 20-10 in
I976.
Last year's game was one of the biggest up
sets of the series as second place Clackamas
entered the game with a 5-4 mark. Treasure
Valley was 2-7.
Treasure Valley won the game. The 14-
hour bus ride severely hindered the Cougars
mental preparation and they were really never
in the game.
"We were a much better ball club than they
were last year, and we're going to make sure
that this doesn't happen again this year,"
Fiskum said.
Treasure Valley's quarterback Jeff Kenney
is fifth in the league in total offense with a
103 yard per-game average and is third in
passing with a 7.6 completions per game,
They also have a strong running back in
Tom Fuller, who is fourth in the league in
all purpose rushing.
Clackamas' Brad Roberts is fourth in the
league in passing with an average of 7.5 com
pletions per game and is seventh in total
offense with a 96.1 yard per-game average.
The Cougars are second in the league in
pass defense with a 101 yard per-game average
and are second in interceptions with 14.
Stu Gaussion, the Cougar's punt and kick
off return specialist, is third in the league in
all-purpose rushing.
The Cougar players choose to ignore the
facts and generally feel confident.
Tim Burnette, a 1975 graduate of Rex
Putnam, feels that the Cougars "should win
by two touchdowns."
"It's going to be a boring game because
we are going to run right over them," said
Rocky Schneider.
"The Cougars should win easily," said
Marty Pinz, with Danielson agreeing. "We
should win without any problems."
"We should win," said Fiskum. "However,
it won't be that easy because Treasure Valley
took probably the best team in the state,
Columbia Basin, right down to the wire be
fore losing 28-21."
"Their bad record is not indicative of what
kind of a team they really are," said Fiskum.
"We have no reason to be overconfident.
People say we played a good game against
Mt. Hood, but we should have won. It
simply goes down as another loss."
"We do have one advantage and that is
that it is their turn to make the 14-hour bus
ride." The game is at Clackamas next Satur
day at l:30.
