"As for F Community College the coaches clinic, Lasorda was about as inspirational as a co median. He tried to keep us laughing all the time." Len Clarke, of Beaverton, whose Raleigh Hills Little League team Won the state championship and went to the regional tournament at San Bernadino, Cal., feels that the clinics have been entertaining, learning, and even emotional. "There's a tremendous bene fit from the clinics," Clarke said. "You are always going to learn something. I took a couple of kids from an all-star little league team a couple of years ago and it was hard to pick out the unique things during the in structional periods. But there are little pointers you don't get anywhere else". As a little league coach for twelve years, Clarke has found the all-day coaching clinics very beneficial. "The coaches clinic is also entertaining, but very good on in-depth instruction," said Clarke. "The talk has been heavy on strategy of the game. I've been to three coaches clinics and they really talk team technique," he said. "Lasorda gave the most inspirational talks I've ever heard." "I feel that the clinics have been beneficial and that the speakers have been very interest ing," John Zarnekee, Gladstone High School baseball coach, said "I think Ward should try and operate his clinic like Jack Dunn, Portland State’s Coach," said. Peterson. Mike Vögele was awarded a take down with :15 giving him the lead 5-3," Rich Taylor, head coach said.

"We didn't bring the state trophy back, but we dominated the Oregon schools, "Taylor said. "It made the kids feel good that we finished better than those who beat them last week. They had something to prove." The team leaves Wednesday morning for Minnesota. "We're all looking forward to the trip. All of our guys can at least win a match, and we're hoping for a couple of place winners," Taylor said. I*- ... ■ * I. CCC wrestlers win a third place at the Regional tournament last weekend.
