Clackamas men
split matches
ve r su s Linfield

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.

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?
