OSU Will Not Enter Track Tiff Corvallis-lTD-Oregon State track and field coach Sam Bell said today he would not enter his athletes in the Ore gon Invitational Indoor Track meet in Portland next month because the Corvallis school has not been allowed to share in lis promotion. The meet, which started two years ago, is sponsored by the University of Oregon's Portland Alumni association. "I regret this move," Bell said, "But I don't think that it would be in the best interests of Oregon State for us to continue in the meet on the current basis." Bell asked that Oregon State be allowed to purchase half interest in the track and also share responsibility and any revenue from the meet. Fifteen members of the Ore gon alumni group in Portland pledged $1,000 each two years ago to underwrite the meet. Turned Down The meet board of directors turned down Bell's proposal on grounds that the meet is not a school function, but that of a group whose privilege it is to donate profits to the University of Oregon Devel opment fund for scholarship purposes. Alumni said only a minor portion of the fund is marked for athletic scholar ships. Bell cited the Far West Basketball classic whre Ore gon State invited Oregon to join as a full partner. Refer ring to the track meet, he said, "It's a selfish thing. The purpose is to promote track at Oregon. It would have to be a cooperative venture be fore I take our boys to the meet." Al Bullicr Jr., president of the Portland alumni group, said the track meet and the basketball classic were "en tirely different operations." He said both schools were In volved in the basketball meet, but neither school was in volved in the track meet. "It's strictly a business ven- ture on our part," he said.
