Tennis team lacks opponen
Riding the crest of improved
play from their third and fourth
players Judy Dancer and Jerry
Trosko,the women's tennis team
enjoyed a 6-0 victory over Linn-
Benton and a tie with Blbe
Mountain.
The Cougars match with Linn-
Benton, at home last Friday, was
a short one. The Albany school
was only able to field three
players and had to forfeit three
matches which enabled Clacka
mas to win easily.
Two of the Cougar victories
in singles action were recorded
by Dancer and Trosko, two girls
who generally aren't depended
on to come through with big
victories.
"I was especially impressed
with Trosko's victory over Retha
Bouma because she showed me
that she can be very aggressive at
the net and that is very encourag
ing," Head Coach Gladys Mich
ael said.

Tracksters qualify for Nationals and win
Mark Nugen scored a new
personal best of 6272 points in
the decathlon and re-qualified
for the Nationals with that mark.
Nugen also scored PR's in the
long jump with a 20-4 leap, and
171-9 in the javelin.
Doug Oberst missed the Nat
ional qualifying mark but man
aged to win the 3000-meter
steeplechase in 9:45.0.
This
meet marked Oberst's first race
in 2% weeks.
Preston Martin again bettered
his previous personal record in
the high jump with a 6-4 leap.
Martin barely missed at 6-6,
grazing the bar just enough to
knock it down.
Dan Jackson threw the discus
148-11 to take the competition
while Randy Bolliger bested in
that event with a 129-1. Bolliger
won the shot put, his specialty,
with 50-91/a.
"Dave Rudishauser won the
400 meters in 50.9. It was a very
good run for him and a personal
best," Tipton said. "Dave also
had an outstanding run in the
winning mile relay team."
The mile relay team of Joseph
Jones, Don Brown, Rudishauser,
and Kelly Britz blazed their way
to a 3:23.8 finish.
"The track was hard and stiff,
so rather than punishing the run
ners, I had them compete in few
er events than they normally
would. We're just practicing for
the end of the season now,"
Tipton said.
Joseph Jones won the 100
meter in 10.9. According to
Tipton only one watch was used
to officially time the race in
stead of the usual three. Some
of the unofficial watches had
Jones timed at 10.8 and 10.7
which would have qualified him
for the Nationals.
"Curt Lowrey ¡s really coming
back this season," Tipton said.
"He seta personal best of 188-10
in the javelin while Mike Murphy
took third with 180-4."
Don Brown matched his own
time of 4:01.72 in the mile.
Kelly Britz won the 800-meters
in 1:54.7 and is expected to hit
the 1:53.8 National qualifying
mark soon. Also expected to
move-up is Eric Hulstrom who
ran the 5000-meters in 16.37.

Adamski golfs new personal best
Last week in the Mt. Hood
Community College Invitational,
the College golf team finished
miserable because the winning
score, totalled by Umpqua, was
297, and Clackamas wasn't that
far back with 318. The scores
were that tightly bunched.
Curt Adamski covered the
Gresham Golf Club in 73 strokes,
his best showing so far. Eric
Chemeketa won with a 310
total compared to Clackamas'
342.
Doug Neuman of Umpqua,
who has proven to be one of the
finest players in the league so far
this season, was medalist with a
grinning 70.
The next league match will be
at Arrowhead Golf Club, Friday,
April 21, at noon.
Blue Mountain, Central Ore

fifth place.
