Sandy net girls lose to Estacada The Sandy High girls tennis team suffered their first defeat of the season Tuesday as they were downed 4-1 by powerful Estacada in the start of league play. The Pioneers lost all but their second singles match, Brenda Strong being the only winner with a fine 6-0, 6-1 win. First singles Margaret Kallen had problems with her consistency as she stumbled to her first loss of the year, 3-6, 5-7. The normally consistent Edmonds and Lois Eblen lost 3- 6 4-6. Edmonds and Eblen got off to a slow start but appeared ready to force the match into a third game when they tied 4- 4 in the second game. But the Estacada twosome held the Pioneers off to secure the win. Margaret was just the op posite as she made several crucial errors against Ranger Melanie Miller.

Salad . Bar - their own good as they raced only against themselves in slow heats in the 440 relay and the shuttle hurdles to find themselves edged by a split second by a team from a faster heat. But there were a few genuine lapses. Overall, it was an impressive and satisfying win for the girls and coach Randy Hut chinson. “ It was a team win, no particular individual stood o u t,” Hutchinson said following the meet. The Sandy coach added that the win “indicates good depth. Our number two, three and four people on the girls team are quality run ners and would be the number one runner on other teams in our league.’’ Hutchinson added that while the win put the girls in a good position to win the league title, they will still have to contend with a Coast division team —probably Forest Grove—at the end of the regular season. “ That should be a classic dual meet,” the Sandy coach said of the possible season finale between his team and the Vikings. While the boys didn’t quite make the splash the girls did, they still made some big ripples as some fine in dividual performances gave the Pioneers points. In the pole vault, Kevin Lieder jumped 12’6” for the day’s best effort as he and Greg Passmore combined for second place with total jumps of 21’6” . The boys distance medley team set a school record en route to a fourth place finish as two of the four runners lowered their personnel best times by seven second. Ken Urban, Kit Howell, Steve Meager and Jeff Griffin turned in an 11:13.6 time in the distance combo. Hutchinson was especially pleased with some of his younger performers. Fresh men Neville Loftus and Gary Jensen played a big role in Sandy’s fifth place sprint relay finish. “ I was real proud of them. They did a super job,’’ Hutchinson said. “The teams are a little bit tougher this year,” Hut chinson said of the leagues overall strength “ We’re really going to have to have some team efforts. “But I think well get them. We have a real young group (of boys) but they proved t h e y ’re tre m e n d o u s ly competitive.” The Sandy teams tuned up for Monday's league event with a twilight meet at Longview Saturday night. The girls won handily against a strong field led by Chris Eliot’s winning 114 run in the 100-yard dash and Michelle Cleland’s top shot put of 38' and winning discus throw of 110’. Jeff Hill had one of the top finishes for the boys as he placed fourth in the 120-yard hurdles with a 15.6 time. The Pioneers begin the regular dual meet season Thursday when the travel to Estacada for a 3:45 meet. •▼ SITIM I by Douglas Gantenbein sports editor (P art two of two) Doug Scott was in a situation few could envv. Darkness was falling on one of the highest, most treacherous mountains in the world, the Ogre in northern India He was miles from base camp and had just broken both legs after a fall 100 feet from the summit of the 24.000-foot plus peak. “ Don’t worry, you’re not going to die,” said his companion, which Scott recalled as being 'small comfort.” The other clim ber descended to a small ledge below where Scott hung, where they planned to spend the night as an immediate descent was out of the question Scott rapelled down the rope to the ledge but forgetting his injury landed on both legs, immediately passing out from the pain. He awoke hours later, bathed in sweat. The climbers spent the long night huddled together for warmth, dressed only in light sweaters and nylon climbing suits. In the morning they rapelled down the remaining 600 feet of the summit tower to a snow ridge where, a half mile away, was their snow cave from two days before. Scott could come down vertical slopes using a rope, but was quite unable to walk, and the small party he was with lacked the resources to carry him So he set off on his hands and knees, to crawl down 12.000 feet of mountain and four miles of glacier to base camp CUSTOM and STOCK 68-7585. But at the snow cave, at around 22,500 feet, one of the Karakoram Range's famous storms bowled down upon them during the night, filling the entrance to their snow cave with snow and making further progress of the mountain out of the question. Without food or medical supplies, there was little that could be done but sit, play cards and listen to the insane shriek of the wind After two days the weather cleared, allowing them to set off for their next camp, a tent at about 18,000 Traveling down steep, snowy slopes. Scott often made better progress than his companions, scuttling down the hill on all fours like a bizarre type of arctic waterbug At the tent, they were again stormed in. They were still without food, and Scott’s legs had had little more medical care than a cloth wrapping Another long wait before the storm abated, then the long trek down a series of rocky gullies to their ad vance base camp By then cold, pain and hunger had affected Scott’s mind to the point he was hallucinating badly with vivid pictures of family and friends dancing across his eyelids when he closed his eyes “I’d crawl for a while then stop, close my eyes and just look at the pictures,’’ he recalled “ It was rather nice." They finally reached the advanced camp, where they scavenged through a pile of frozen garbage for their first solid food in days. From there Scott crawled the final four miles down a glacier to base camp, arriving there seven days after his accident A few days later a helicopter flew him out. and just 48 hours after he left base camp he was in a hospital in Sheffield, England, awaiting surgery on his iegs. He is up and about now, giving no hint in his walk of the extrem e torment he suffered that week And of course, he is making plans for new climbs and new routes, quite undeterred by his near fatal mishap Is he mad0 Perhaps But a world class climber, just like a world class marathoner or a championship golfer, exists in a realm of ability quite beyond the comprehension of most people Their limits are not the limits of the average person, their realistic goals out dreams. You cannot really wonder why or how they perform such feats, you can only stand in awe.
