Clackamas men split matches ve r su s Linfield By Brett Bigham Of The Print Clackamas Community College’s men’s tennis team started their pre-season scrimages last Tuesday and Thursday when they played a series of indoor and outdoor matches against Linfield. “We scrimaged them on both Tuesday and Thursday,” Dave Buckley, men’s tennis coach, said. “They didn’t play the same people twice, though.” The line-ups for the teams were altered to give the players different opponents. “When we played them on Tuesday we played pro sets in the gym, Thursday was out doors and regular two-out-of- three sets,” he said. “I thought that we played really well for our first scrimage,” Buckley said, “Their level of intensity was ex cellent.” Two of the Cougar’s doubles teams and two singles players won in Tuesday’s scrimage. The team of Mike Woffard and Bob Martin picked up a win, and Steve Gormon and Jim Markin won as a doubles team and both won their singles matches. Thursday’s scrimage went better for the Cougars singles players with John Storm, Byron Sullivan, Steve Gorman and Mike Wofford picking out wins. The doubles teams play was restricted by fading light. The 2nd doubles finished in the dark and the 3rd doubles match was called. “I was really pleased with the way they all played,” Coach Buckley said. He attributed the poor play of Tuesday to having to play indoors on the gym floor. “It’s hard to tell how a score is going to go inside.” The Cougar team will have two more scrimages before they begin their playing season. They leave March 18 for California to play four Junior College’s in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Photo by Joel Miller Spring football now underway, U.S.F.L. respectable in debut Rick Obritschkewitsch Guest Editorial After several months of talk and prepara tion, we’ve finally had the opportunity to see the new pro football teams of the United States Football League (USFL) in action. The game which I witnessed, via T.V., was played quite well, for what I had expected. It wasn’t the NFL by any means, or even the CFL (Canadian Football League). The caliber of play in the New Jersey Generals vs, the Los Angeles Express game ranked somewhere between ma jor college ball and the CFL. This is really saying a lot, after what the old tried and failed World Football League went through (Remember the Portland Storm?). When analyzing the new league, it must be remembered that this is its first year, and that the players are made up of, for the most part, NFL rejects (not that that is anything to be ashamed of) and rookies. Keeping this in mind, it will take at least a good two or three years before we can really get a fair picture of what the league has got to offer. One area in which the league really did screw up the beginning of its first season was by starting the year without any exhibition games, and not all that much practice besides. But the league has shown that it means business with such lucrative contracts as Herschel Walker snatched up (I’d drop out of college, too, if I was offered a job that paid $5 million over a three-year period, with a $1 million advance). And there really wasn’t a bad turnout in spectators (you can’t call them fans, yet). Every one of the five games played on Sunday had at least 30,000 people in the audience, which is pretty much what was expected. In the future, the USFL should be a fairly tough league, in view of how competitive it has been in recruiting from the college ranks. I was really surprised to see as many top college players going to a new, untried league. Especial ly after the failure of WFL. Now it’s just a matter of waiting. By the way, who do you think will win the USFL championships? classifieds GROWTH OPPORTUNITY with new home entertainment business. Openings in sales and manage ment—PT & FT. Training provided.
