Finn tracksters invade
Bee Games Saturday
By Dan Moonsy
Being a former military man himself,
you'd think that Red Estes would have his
"troops," piling sand bags, and reinforcing
the fortifications that ring Warmerdam
Field. Heck, at least the six-year Bulldog
head track coach should have stataioned a
look-out along Highway 99 to warn the
citizenery of Fresno about the swarm of
Teutonic invaders that will hit town this
weekend throwing weapon-like objects.
No need to head for the fallout shelters
though. The foreign group is only a group
of flinging Finns who will do "battle"
Saturday as the Fresno State track team
will play host to the second annual Fresno
Bee Games. Seven athletes from Finland's
Olympic team will spotlight the two-day
affair which has high school athletes going
at it today and then junior college, college
and open division competition taking
Leading the Finnish throwing contigent
is world-record holder Tina Lilak. Lilak's
record is held in the javelin with a mighty
heave of 245-3. In Finland where track
and field is king, Lilak is a national hero,
especially after last summer's performan¬
ce in the world championships. The
championships were held in Helsinki and
Lilak was her country's only gold med-
Even with her past performances, Lilak
is far from_being the only Finnish throw¬
ing star who will compete in the games.
Teammate Tuula Laksalo is also one of

at to their throwing country women in
the weight events. Jorma Markus. who
was the 13th best men's javelin thrower
last year, comes in with a best of 294-4.
Fresno State's reqord holder Matt
Mileham will run into some hot and heavy
competition in the hammer throw. Mil¬
eham comes into the Bee Games with a
best of 246-1, far behind FinUnds' Julia
Tiaine with his 265-10 throw. Japan's Shig
Murofushi will also be battling for ham¬
mer honors with his 246-7 lifetime best.
The hammer competition begins at 8 am
tomorrow while the javelin begins at 11:30
Mileham wont be alone, as some of
Fresno State's other tracksters will head
into some stiff competition as well..Bul¬
ldog long jump artist George Gaffney will
be dueling wilh former Olympic gold
medalist Randy Wiliams. A graduate of
USC, Williams warmed' the hearts of
millions of Americans in 1972 when he
won the Munich Olympic long jump with,
his good luck teddy bear. Williams is now
in the process of attempting a comeback
and is jumping for the United States
Marine Corps. Williams has a lifetime
best of 27-4, while Gaffney comes in with a
26-6 1/2 leap.
Terry Neely, the defending Pacific
Athletic Association 100-meter champion
for the Bulldogs, will have to light the
burners to have any chance in his event
tomorrow. Nevada-Reno's Phil Altipoc
comes to Fresno with a best of 10.2, while
Neal Godison of CSU rlayward has turn¬
ed a 10.32 century. Neely's best is 10.55.
The Bulldog 400-meter relay team, wilh a
40.4 mark this season, will contest for top
honors with Reno (40.2).

Racquetball continues to pound CSUF walls
By Dan Moortsy
Staff writer
There is one sport at CSUF that is an
around-the-clock affair. You're just as
likely to see two peoplesmashing a rubber
ball at three in the morning as you are at
Thanks to lighted courts and the popu¬
larity of the game, the six campus rac¬
quetball courts arc one of the favorite
gathering points for sports nuts year
round. Though the madness for batting
ihe rubber ball off the four walls which
constitute the court has faded somewhat
since five years ago when this country was
in a near frenzy with racquetball fever, the
game remains a prime attraction to fitness
addicts. CSUF is no exception.
"Five years ago everybody wanted to
learn how to play racquet ball,"director of
the intramural recreation department Val
Valverde said. "The trend towards rac¬
quetball is now tapering off, but it remains
a popular sport."
The CSUF recreation department of¬
fers use ofthe courtsjfor most of each day
of the week, though reservations are
required. Monday through Friday reser¬
vations can be made the day that an indi¬
vidual wishes to reserve a court, which are
available after 3 p.m. on Monday and
Wednesday, after 4 p.m. Tuesday and
Men strokers beat UC Davis
Thursday and after 10 a.m. on Friday.
The morning hours are devoted to use by
Physical Education courses in racquet¬
ball. On the weekends reservations can be
made between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Other
than the listed sign-up times, courts are
also available on a first come, first serve
"During the height of the racquetball
craze you couldn't come near a court,"
Valverde said. "But that's not the case
anymore."
The courts, like all other facilities
reserved by the intramural recreation
.office, arc open to students, faculty, staff,
alumni, family and the general -public.
Last year the courts were reserved 18,467
office joes far beyond
just handling the sign-ups for tbe courts
but also provides all the necessities — rac¬
quets, eye-protectors, balls — needed to
play the game. All that is needed by the
interested player is a student body card
with a current fees sticker.
For the serious racquetball player the
recreation office is also prepared. A rac¬
quetball tournament for students is held
each fall and spring. The fall tournament
attracted 52 players while the spring tour¬
nament (to be staged May 4-5) will just be
contested in doubles play.
DAVIS — The Fresno State men's ten¬
nis team pulled off one of its biggest wins
of the season yesterday afternoon, setting
back perenial Division 2 power UC Davis
7-2 in a dual match.
Despite losing both number one singles
and number one doubles, the Bulldogs
managed to win every other match in
improving their dual match mark to 9-7
overall. The formerly undefeated Aggies
dropped to I l-l on the season. ■
