Cinderwomentake Regionais and want Nations
After winning both the State
and Regional titles the women's
track team is looking forward to
winning the National champion­
ships. The meet is in Champaign,
III. and will be held this Friday
and Saturday.
The women set six Regional
meet records last weekend at
Pendleton and qualified in eleven
positions for
Nationals plus
qualifying relay teams.
The leader in new meet rec­
ords was Regina Jordan. Jordan
took the 200-meter competition
with a 25.4 and the 100 meters
with a 12.32. Raela Rodgers was
second to her in both races
with times of 25.7 and 12.34,
respectively.
In first day competition five
women qualified for the Illinois
meet.
Amanda Eggleston took
the 400-meter field with a 59.25
while Lisa O'Dea scored the
other first of the day in the
long jump.
Her mark was a
17-4%.
Jean Sandwick qualified with
a 10:40.8 as did Vickey Paddock
with her 10:47.2 3,000-meter
race.
Angella Cotton was the
final qualifier in the 800 meters
with a 4:51.2.
Verna Simon
took third in the long jump but
her mark of 16-9% was not high
enough to meet the National
standard.
The 800 medley-relay team
of Rodgers, Jordan, Eggleston,
and O'Dea established a new
meet record of 1:50.1. The same
team members also took the
meet record with a 48.9 in the
400-meter relay. And, yetanot-
Baseballers finish disappointing season
By Jim McCaffrey
Of The Print
All is quiet in Cougarville for
the baseball heroes have struck
out. Last Friday the Clackamas
Cougar baseball season came to a
fitting and frustrating close on a
cold, rainy Concordia Lutheran
College field.
The afternoon was an exercise
in frustration that seemed to mir­
ror the whole season. Clackamas
came into the games shooting at
a chance for fourth or fifth place
in the league standings.
Clackamas turned in a wretch­
ed performance combined with
uninspired late inning offense
and were slaughtered 15-6.
Some fine individual perform­
ances were turned in by team
members. >
All purpose utility infielder
Ron Northcutt collected 10 hits
in his last 13 times at bat. This
included two singles and a double
in the early inning rally that
gave six runs to the Cougars
against Concordia.
Pitcher Bob Simril's record
was - 5-0 with an earned run
average of under 2.00. Bob was
pitched in relief again last Fri-
day for the fifth time in the last
seven ballgames.
Jim Coffman for the second
time in two outings was plagued
by errors and his own walks.
John Kline managed to rip his
way out of a season-long slump
with two hits to add to North­
cutt's.
The second game was for­
feited to the Cougars because of
rain. It seemed like the appro­
priate way to end the season be­
cause so much of the season was
played in bad weather conditions.
The team finished with a
15-12 record and has eleven
potential returnees.
r
The College men's tennis
team advanced to the Region­
al tournament this past week­
end by finishing third in the
state tournament at Pendleton
on Saturday.
Chemeketa took first with
100 points, Central Oregon
Community College was sec­
ond with 79 and Clackamas
was the last qualifier with 73
points.
Individually, John Delaney
defeated the Cougars defend­
ing state champion, Mike May­
nard, 6-4, 6-0 for the first
singles championship.
For the number three po­
sition,
Chris DeVilo, Che­
meketa, defeated Clackamas's
Buddy Patnode, 4-6,6-3,6-1.
In doubles action, the Cou­
gars number one team of May­
nard and Patnode captured
the state crown as they de­
feated Mayall and Delaney,
Central Oregon,4-6,6-2,7-6.
Cougar Rick Bobzein also
turned in a fine tournament
as he defeated Rod Quinn,
6-7,6-2,6-2, for third place in
second singles play.
In addition, John Stilwell,
Umpqua, defeated Dave Riggs,
Clackamas for third place in
the fourth singles bracket.
The third place finish en­
ables Clackamas to take part
in tfje Regional meet. North
Idaho, Treasure Valley, Ump­
qua, Judson Baptist
and
Southwest Oregon Commun­
ity College competed there
last Sunday through Tuesday
at Pendleton.
The top three teams quali­
fy for the National tourna­
ment and if the first singles or
first doubles winners are not
among those first three teams,
they also qualify.

The men's track team will be
sending participants to the Nat­
ional meet in Champaign, III.
next Friday and Saturday. The
team took fourth overall in the
Regional championships held last
weekend.
Kelly Britz set a new meet
record in his specialty, the 800-
meters with a 1:51.6 while team­
mate Dave Rudishauser placed
third with a 1:53.8.
Randy Bolliger also took a
first in his event, the shot put.
Bolliger, last year's high school
state champ, put the shot 51-3
with Dan Jackson fifth with a
46-1% heave.
The only other first place was
by school record-holder Dave
Reed. Reed beat Lane's Mike
Yeoman, this year's state champ­
ion, with a 46-9% mark.
Joe Jones competed in four
events but placed only in the 100
meters. Jones was second with
an 11.4.
Dan Jackson took second in
the discus with a 153-4 behind
new meet record-holder Clayton
Sexton of Ricks Community Col­
lege.
Mike Murphy in the javelin
with a 192-7, Dave Grosnickle
with a 13 foot pole vault, Don
Brown's 4:04.2 1500 effort, and
Doug Oberst's 15:57.5 in the
5,000 meters.
Ed McAllistar
managed sixth in the 400-inter-.
mediate hurdles with a 58.9.
The College is going to
sponsor their first internat­
ional wrestling trip next week.
Cougar wrestlers Tim Jones
and Tom Gilbo, along with
National high school wrest­
ling champion from Molalla
High School, Randy Ohta,
are traveling to Venezuela to
take part in the Pan-American
Games.
The wrestlers leave
on
May 24 and travel to the
University of Louisiana for a
week of training before travel­
ling to Caracas for the start of
the games.
Once there they will com­
pete with teams from South
and Central America,
and
Mexico in a Olympic-type
format. Winners receive gold,
silver and bronze medals.
Jones,
the Cougars top
middle-weight
man,
took
fourth in the Nation while
compiling a 30-3 record.
Gilbo, had only a 15-8
season and didn't qualify for
the National tournament. He
was, however, one of the few
wrestlers in his weight class
who was under 20 years of
age.
Ohta, although still attend­
ing high school, was sponsored
by the College's wrestling club
and Molalla High school's Jay-
cees. It was felt that because
he was the National High
School champion in the light­
weight class and the state
triple
crown
champion,
(Greco-Roman, Free-style in
addition to state crown) he
should be sent.
The trip marks the third
time Clackamas has sent wrest­
lers to a national competition,
(Tim Johnson, the Cougars
two-time national champion
took part in the east-west
competition, and John Olson,
Clackamas national Champion
in 1976, competed in the
Olympic trials) but it was the
first in international compe­
tition.
Norm Berney has
been
named as the new head wrest­
ling coach at Clackamas. Ber-
new coached previously at the
school but quit because the
time and effort involved was
too great.
Going into the 1977-78
season, the Cougars had won
her record toppled with Eggles­
ton, Cotton, Barbara Young, and
O'Dea pacing to a 3:59.6 in the
1600-meter relay.
O'Dea continued her large
point contribution with a meet
record in the 400-intermediate
hurdles. O'Dea ran a 1:01.7 with
Young
1:05.9.

Both qualified fj
ionals in that event.
Sally Arthur was the
Clackamas runner in the
meters but she too quail]
Nationals. Arthur ran a 2
to qualify.
First women compete in
bench press contest
Mary Rasmussen and Karen
liams were the first women to
compete in the bench press con­
test at Clackamas which was
held here last Wednesday.
Rasmussen pressed 75 pounds

to an Oregon
Community
College.
Both records fell during
the year as the Cougars finish­
ed fourth in the state meet,

coaching duties. Larry Owens
Will be retained as Berney's
assistant.
Becoming a member of a
college rally squad isn't all it
seems to be. Sure, there are the
thrills and popularity that comes
with the honor, but there is al­
so a lot of hard wprk and high
expectations involved.
To be a rally member, a per­
son needs to be a full-time
student; maintain a 2.0 grade
average; have a sincere interest in
the respective sport; be able to
supply half-time entertainment
at the games, if possible; be
available to spend five hours
each week on routines; and be
willing to help make and post
spirit posters advertising games.
■ The Associated Student Gov­
ernment will award a one-half
tuition waiver to rally members
who complete their season in
good standing. Good standing
includes attendance at games,
publicity of the sport, and main­
tenance of a certain number of
hours.
"There's a lot of work and
high expectations involved, but
that's the way it has to be in or­
der for things to go well,"former
basketball rally member Tammy
Ruef said.
"But, you also get the half
tuition waiver, and most of the
things, such as meals, traveling
expenses, and uniforms free,"
Ruef said. "Besides, it's also a
a lot of fun."
