Share 12 Dual Meet
Marks With Huskies
Several Outstanding Records Withstand the
Assaults Annually for Decade; Rivals to
Meet Here Again Saturday
.
Ghosts of track champions of the past decade will hover around
Hayward field Saturday, zealously guarding from the attack of Ore
gon and Washington athletes of 1938 those marks set by the stalwarts
of the two schools competing against each other in years gone by.
*The churning legs and strong arms of Purple and Gold standard
bearers have given the Seattle institution 6 out of 12 records listed
in the record books of the Oregon publicity office, Webfoot immortals
writing a like number on the books.
The records have stood the test of time and competition since
1928. In the pre-depression year,
“Uncle Hec’’ Edmundson fielded
one of the greatest teams ever to
wear the Husky emblem. That
team beat Oregon by a 94%-to
36% count as Brix and Anderson
hung up marks. Brix threw the
shot 51 feet 8 inches, and Ander
son skipped over the high hurdles
in 14.4 seconds.
23.2 Low Hurdles
The following year, Ahderson
sped over the low sticks in 23.2
seconds. His mark in this event
has also escaped the yearly firing
unscathed.
Bobby Robinson, negro pole
vaulter, holds the record of 13 feet
4 1-8 inches, although George Var
off vaulted a height of 13 feet 6
inches last year. Varoff’s jump
was not officially approved. Rob
inson competed' in 1931 for Colonel
Bill Hayward.
In 1936 the Webfoot and Husky
aces treated Eugene fans to three
record - breaking performances.
Oregon’s Squeak Lloyd jumped 24
feet 4 3-8 inches to set a new rec
ord in the broad jump, while Bill
Vandermay of the Huskies, a
senior this year, cleared a height
of 6 feet 3 7-8 inches to win the
high jump. To climax the day’s
competition, the Husky mile re
lay team tumbled the old mark
off the shelves, turning in a 3:21.5
mile, i

Oregon’s varsity tennis team will
resume competition this afternoon,
after a two-week lay-off, with a
conference match against the
Idaho Vandals. The Ducks play
Washington State here tomorrow.
Coach Paul Washke, who has

Georgia, for the past two weeks,
will again assume command of the
Webfoot netment today. He will
relieve George Humphreys, senior
i manager, who bossed the Ducks
during his absence.
Hope to Repeat
Although the Webfoot netters
triumphed easily over the Vandals
last year at Moscow, advance re
ports of the invading team indicate
that Washke’s lads will have to be
in top shape to hope to repeat their
7 to 0 victory over the Idaho team.

only two men left from the squad

conference crown last year. Lost

positions one and five on last year’s,
team. Chuck Eaton, No. three on
