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.
A late rally by Kallen
made it a close match but
failed to put her in a position
to win.
In doubles play Markieta
High and Coleen Flach also
had their problems with
consistency as they were
beaten by Laura Eads and
Dawn Lamb, 2-6,3-6.

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.
