RAFT RACE Mens Rally Wins In 68 Minutes The 5th annual Willamette River Raft Race was held on a very cold and windy November Saturday afternoon. Nearly 40 participants attempted the three mile course on eleven assorted makeshift rafts. Some dressed for the oc casion in wet suits, while others suffered some exposure, particularly in the two rafts which didn ' t finish. Due to several mishaps, some rafts spent a longer time in the water than was humorous. The race was covered by three televi- sion networks, one for the first time. They noted especially the regretful tra- dition of dropping garbage from a bridge midway along the course with the inten- tion of hitting the rafts as they passed. The first raft to finish at Champoeg State Park was manned by Tim Hatha- way, Larry Henderson, and Mark Thomp- son, representing the rally squad (men) with a time of 68 minutes, just over last year ' s record breaking 65 minutes.
