Baseball team
evens record
By Tracy Teigland
Of The Print
The College baseball team
had a record of 7-5, until they
lost to Linn-Benton twice last
week, 13-7 and 4-1, bringing
the record to 7-7.
The team has 10 games left
to play, and they need to win at
least nine of them to make it to
region a Is.
On Saturday, the Clackamas
men lost to Linn-Benton, 13-7.
Coach Gene Peterson made
no excuses. “They just took us
on that one,” he said. Thurs­
day the team lost, 4-1. Peter­
son stated, “The loss was due
to an error that cost us four
runs.”^
So far the team has had four
of their games postponed
because of rain. These were all
league games, and will have to
be made up.
Peterson mentioned Craig
Volimas (third base), Jamie
Jonely (short stop), Kyle Erwin
(center field), Steve Mills (left
field), Mike Gardener (second
base) and Gary Schmellding
(first base), as a few of the
outstanding players.
Doug Swain and Larry
Jones have been the main men
on the mound this year.
However, they are backed up
by almost 10 other pitchers.
Most of thé Clackamas men
are involved , in a Portland
league baseball team for the
summer. Peterson expects to
have a more experienced team
next year because of this.
The baseball season ends
May 8, with a game against
Umpqua CC. Peterson and his
team are hoping for some

so they can finish out the
season without any more
postponements.
Netters boast
near perfection
By Wanda Percival
The College women’s tennis
team brought their season
record to 8-1 as they fell to
Lewis and Clark College’s Var­
sity team, 9-0, on Monday
after defeating Concordia Col­
lege, 7-0 on Friday.
Usually, community colleges
play at university J.V. levels,
but “we played Lewis and
Clark’s varsity team to ensure
top caliber competition,” said
Coach Gladys Michael. “You
don’t go into that expecting to
win. Nobody was blown out,
they were all able to hit with
them.”
Michael said, “Everybody is
playing very well right down
through player number 10.
There’s been great im-
provements all the way
through the line-up.” '

Silva achieves max lift again
The hours upon hours of
pumping iron had an ending
when the fifth annual
Clackamas Spring Bench Press
Contest got underway last
Wednesday.
The sparse crowd that re­
mained after hours of rigorous
competition was left in awe as
Ben Silva, who had lifted 420
pounds in the winter competi­
tion, walked up to the bench,
slowly lowered himself under
the bar, paused for a few
minutes, then began to lift the
evening maximum, 345
pounds. Following Silva’s lift,
the long hours of preparation
were about to begin for the
next competition.
A women’s' division had
been set up for the- competi­
tion, but only one girl showed
up, Angela Karlsey, who lifted
105 pounds.
With the opening weight at
95 pounds, the amount in-
creased by 10-pound in-
crements. The peak of
weightlifters was between 235
and 285 pounds.
