“We have a good crop of
milers and half-milers,” Tipton
said. “(Dan) Cobine, (Tom)
Winters, (Dave) Rudishauser,
and Joe Rubrecht are all good,
strong runners.”
In the field events, Tipton
sees the Forrell brothers as the
leading participants.
“Jeff and Greg (Forrell) are
our high jumpers and they’ll
also be strong,” said Tipton.
“Not only that, they also com­
pete in other areas. Greg is a
long jumper, and Jeff is a triple
jumper/’

Tipton said.

pick up a racquet, but I hear
that she is a real good player,”
Michael said. “This* year she
will be playing singles as well as
doubles so she is going to have
to adjust to that.”
In high school, tennis players
are only allowed to participate
in singles or doubles, never
both. However, in college, par­
ticipation in both areas is ac­
cepted.
Debbie Bugarsky, a graduate
of Canby High School where
she also played doubles, will be
another one of the players
Michael will be looking to to
perform well in both the singles
and doubles categories.
“Almost all of our players will
have to make the adjustment
from doubles to singles play,”
Michael said. “I really don’t see
this as posing too much of a
problem, though.”
Last on the list of players
with high school experience is
Shelly McNeel, from Oregon
City High.Shelly also played
doubles while in the prep
ranks.
Michael will be breaking in
four players with no previous
tennis experience this year,
next to private practice that is.
Carrie Browning of Molalla
High School where she ran
track, Sandy Carter, a 1964
graduate of Clackamas, Julie
Bausserman of Oregon City
High, and Sheila Imdieke of
Canby High are all hopefuls
who have yejt to compete
seriously.
The only returner on the club
is Debbie Copher. Copher is
coming off a year where she
was a first and second singles
player as well as a first doubles
in the OCCAA. Needless to
say Copher made the adjust­
ment from doubles to singles
quite well last year.
“So far I see Debbie as our
strongest player, definitely,”
Michael said. “She had by far
the most experience on the
team and I see her imporving
quite a lot this year. Not only
did she play well for us last
year, but she participated in the
“As far as the rest of the
team goes they will be playing
on the ladder to see where they
will fall in the line-up,” she
said. “But from what I’ve seen
in past years in the OCCAA,
we should be competitive.”
