This time of year college foot­
ball is everywhere.
You can’t do the simplest
thing, like watching the news or
carrying on a conversation with
someone who went to college for
at least a term without hearing
about the latest scores.
Last Saturday, for instance,
one of my own sisters, a graduate
of the University of Oregon, went
around the house raving about
the Ducks 34-27 upset over the
University of Southern Califor­
nia. Now, it’s not that I don’t like
the Ducks, it’s not like that at all.
A problem arises when I mention
Oregon State’s thrashing of
Akron, 42-17.
Ever since Cathryn entered the
university, all I have heard during
a sports season is “Duck this“
and “Duck that.” The problem is
that I have always considered this
“Duck talk” a big quack (sorry, I
couldn’t resist that one).
Although the two schools
Thursday’s results
by Christopher Curran

(Oregon and Oregon State) are
rivals, I have always believed that
you should support the school or
schools that are near you.
Although she went to one
school, shouldn’t she be glad
when the other wins as long as
they aren’t matched up against
one another?
I don’t mean to give my sister a
hard time here, I do enough of
that at home. I think the point
I’m really trying to make here is,
and correct me if I’m wrong,
patriotism. By the way, Cynthia,
you’re next.
This patriotism for one’s home
state schools is practical in later
life. Example: since graduating
from Clackamas High School, I
have been accused of having a
less than good attitude towards
my alma mater. On occasion I
have chuckled when a Clackamas
athletic team has done less than it
takes to be victorious.
Just recently, I have grown to
*1
appreciate my old school,
possibly better than when I at­
tended. A good friend’s
brother, a junior on the
Cavalier varsity football team,
(although he doesn’t know it)
helped restore my opinion of
Clackamas High. It’s not by his
performance on the team, but
merely his presence on the
roster. The football program, in
which I both played and
reported on, I finally can find
pride in saying that I did play
and report about it.
Pride in anything close to
home is valuable in a person’s
character. It is apparent in occa­
sional conversation.
Next time you are listening to
someone talk about their old
school, notice if they have pride
in it. This can be interesting, as
well as educational. Whether it
is the school itself, or meely its
football team (or any athletic
team).

Each week at the high school
sports level, there are a virtual
plethora of football games. In a
new series in the sports section
of The Print entitled “High
School Game of the Week,” we
will take one of the games in our
area and report on it. This
week, as a preview, here are
brief summaries of last Thurs­
day’s high school games of the
week in the Three Rivers League
(TRL).
Oregon City 19
West Linn 6
This game provided the
smallest margin of victory of all
the games in the TRL. The
Pioneers struck first on a 72
yard run from Travis Pruit in
the second quarter. West Linn
evened the score when Craig
Pickard plunged in from one
yard out. The score was knotted
at 6-6 at halftime.
The second half belonged to
Oregon City as they scored on a
six yard run from Mike Hieb in
the third quarter and a 63 yard
pass from Justin Van Orman to
Gary Hoxit in the fourth
quarter.
Schutt takes strides past age barrier
by Julie Church

“I want to do as well as I can
using my God given abilities,”
said 45-year-old, distance runner,
Lori Schutt. She believes God
gives everyone special abilities,
and it’s up to the individual to use
those abilities in a way that’s
pleasing to God.
After coaching the West Linn
High School girl’s track team for
four years, and assisting CCC’s
coach last year, she is now on the
other side. She is an athlete runn­
ing for CCC’s cross-country
team.
Schutt had never run in a team
environment before. Schutt
remarked that her joining the
team was “fun and challenging
for me, at the same time I was
helping the woman’s team.”
Schutt started running com­
petitively at the age of 21, when
she was then asked to participate
in the 1964 Olympic trials in the
400 meters. In 1968, she was in­
vited again to participate. This
time in the 800 meters. During
this time, she consistently placed
in the top 5 in the 800 and 1500
meters, and cross-country. The
same year, she ran on the United
States cross-country team, which
won the International Champion­
ships.
Schutt dropped out of running
in 1971, because of the limited
opportunities for women
athletes. “There were still a lot of

recalled.

Schutt got back to running. From
there, she won the National title
in the triple jump, and became a
representative of the Portland
Masters Track Club.
So how does she feel being on a
college team after all this? “It’s a
different experience,” said
Schutt, but “My goal is to be the
best I can be.” She said she is
now more sensitive to the
athlete’s end of it, after always
being on the coach’s end of it.
Mike Hodges, CCC’s cross­
country coach, sees what Schutt
refers to as “coaching a coach,”
as
“educational
and
challenging.” He said he’s learn­
ed a lot from having Lori on his
team. He believes, “when you
stop learning, it’s time to retire.”

Milwaukie 26
Molalla 6
Milwaukie quarterback Dave
McLoughlin
launched
touchdown passes of 34 and 45
yards to Jim Hutchinson and 47
yards to James Sisson en route
to their 20 point win over the
winless Indians.
*
The Mustangs came out early
with 20 points in the first
quarter to help them even their
record in the TRL at 2-2.
Molalla’s only scoring effort
came when Scott Rath ran two
yards for a touchdown in the
fourth quarter.
Rex Putnam 32
Clackamas 0
Senior Dan Ruhl scored
touchdowns in three ways to lift
the Kingsmen to an easy victory
over longtime rival Clackamas.
Ruhl captured a 35 yard scor­
ing strike from Brock Dressel in
the first quarter, returned a
punt 65 yards, and ran two
yards to lead Putnam, who is
now tied with Oregon City and
Milwaukie for third place in the
TRL. The Cavaliers dropped to
2-3 after losing their third
straight game.
Canby 49
Lake Oswego 6
Canby had no trouble in
disposing of the Lakers in front
of the home crowd. Brian Mclr-
vin scored three times to lead
the effort for Canby, who is
ranked third in the state polls.
Cory Hansen scored on runs of
15 and 34 yards to assist in Lake
Oswego’s humiliation.
In other TRL related football
action, number one ranked
Lakeridge took the dignity out of
Columbia with a 55-0 trouncing
in non-league action.
Friday’s games: Canby at West
Linn, Lake Oswego at
Milwaukie,
Putnam
