The track and field comp

The meet stressed fun and
gave the participants a chance
to get ready for real compe

"There were some good
efforts by both men and wom

"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. "Then the ref took
it away and Mike's opponent got
a takedown and it ended 5-3
with Mike losing."
Vögele did manage to qualify
for the National tournament de
spite
his setback and placed
fourth overall in the 190-pound
weight class. ’
Dennis O'Quinn lost by one
point to the Oregon Conference
Champion thus losing his chance
for the trip to Minnesota,
nother
possible
factor
O'Quinn's loss was cutting
pounds in one week.
"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.
