HELEN HIGBEE Sporting Editor I Track Team Gets 84 Points With out Two Mile and Javelin By Helen Higbee Before a filled grandstand and bleach ers, the University of Oregon’s track team administered an overwhelming de feat to the Agricultural College, to the tune of 84 to 38. The Varsity bunch were responsible for shattering three Northwest records, tying a Coast rec ord, breaking one college record, and tying another. In the second event, Martin Hawkins began the good work by establishing a Northwest record of 15 2-5 seconds for the 120-yard hurdles. This equaled the Coast record held by Edwards, of Stanford. Freshman McClure covered the mile in 4 minutes 36 1-2 seconds, which broke the Oregon record that Sievers held for two years. Then James Johns romped along the quarter mile and took first place in 51 1-5 seconds, tying an old Oregon record that belonged to Clyde Payne. Ben Williams was not content with first place in the pole vault or with the Northwest record he made in Seattle this month, and after defeating his competitors put the stick on the top of the standards. With a beautiful vault he cleared 12 feet and 2-10 inches in the first trial, establishing a new Northwest record, and could probably have done better if lie could have put the stick up higher. The Varsity relay team clipped 2 2-5 seconds off the Northwest record of the University of Washington, lower ing the time to 3 :27 2-5. Kay followed instructions exactly by letting Siemens of O. A. C. lead him at a hot pace in the first half lap, and then nosing him out in a breath-snatching finish. Eliott improved his lead in a fast quarter against Thompson. Then carne Jim Johns in a whirlwind dash around his course in 51 seconds. Castle, of O. A. C., had no chance. McDaniels fin ished up with a burst of speed, crossing the tape a full quarter lap ahead of Shadduck. Bob Kellogg proved the most valu able man Oregon had in tne field, an nexing thirteen points for the lemon and green by taking firsts in the shot put and hammer throw and making second place in the discus throw. Bergman, of O. A. C.. gathered up nine points by taking first place with the hundred, second in the 220 hurdles, and third in 220 dash. Against four firsts for O. A. C., the U. of O. won ten first places, which helps to account for the score. Sap Latouretie, Bristow, Standby, and the promising freshman, Kay, are responsi ble for three first places. After the delayed start there was' not a dull moment for the grandstand and bleachers, so quickly were things pulled off. There was more than usual inter est in the hammer throw, when "Fat" Bailey threw the hammer 131 feet the first time . The grandstand stood up and cheered for the popular lad. BATTING AVERAGES OUT IN DOUGHNUT LEAGUE Woman s Emerald Gets Scoop on All Rivals At last the long-awaited Doughnut League batting averages are out. They were issued this morning especially for the sporting page of the Woman’s Em erald, and contain some interesting facts and figures. 1 hose interested in the development of intra-college sports as against spe cialization and too much attention to intercollegiate sports will be pleased to learn that exactly 105 different players have taken part in the 11 games already played in the league’s schedule. Not more than 15 or 20 of these have even been trying for the first team squad, which is pretty clear evidence of the really valuable part played by the league in bringing out men who would other . isc not participate in athletics. i he race for the batter’s cup recently presented by L. H. Gregory to the play er with the highest average in the Doughnut League, who has been at bat at least twelve times, is already becom ing evciting. The cup must be won three years, not in succession, to belong per manently to one man. Though McIn tosh, of the Kappa Sigmas, has hit 1000 in three trips to the plate, Barbur, of the Sigma Nus, is the real leader of the sluggers with six hits out of ten times at bat, an average of .600. Huston with .555 for 5 hits out of nine times up, Shangle with .545, and Walker with .500 are pressing him close. McIntosh and several others who have been clouting effectively are unfortun ately out of the race for the cup, as their teams have been eliminated before they had been the necessary twelve times at bat. One peculiar feature of the race for swatting honors is the fact that many first team players have been unable to do anything with the bat in the Dough nit League. Dudley Clarke, the mighty captain of “Father Tom” Kelley’s romp ing youngsters, whiffed once at a crit iaal moment and batted only 250 in eight times up. Ben Chandler has only one hit ia nine times at the bat. “Chuck” Tay lor is hitting only 125, and others are even lower. Barbur and Gabrielson are ihe only first teamers who seem able to leep their batting optics before the daz ling curves of the leading league twirl ers. Only six of the original ten clubs are now left in the struggle for the Dough nut cup, the others having been elimi nated. Five games remain to be played in the next two weeks, the race having narrowed down to the Sigma Nus, Betas and Avavas, in the first division, with two games won and none lost, and the Khoda Khans, Beavers and Acacias in the second division, the Tawahs having been downed by the Acacias last Wed nesday by the score of 7 to 6. One of the second division clubs and one of those in the first will draw byes, after the Khoda Khan-Beaver game is played, and these clubs will then play each other, the loser being eliminated. This will leave four teams for the finals. The Kappa Sibmas, present holders of the cup, lost to the Avavas last Saturday by the score of 8 to 5.
