Jimmy Schriver, junior middle-distance man, will probably foresake the 440 to team with powerful Kirman Storli in the half-mile. Schriver’s shift will bolster the half-mile, but will weaken the 440 —already a weak event—consid , erably. However, in the 440, Schri ver would be competing against the Cougar’s ace men, while in the 880, he will stand a strong chance of finishing in the money. Sprints Are Toss-up Colonel Bill Hayward, Oregon’s canny mentor, gives his Webfoots a definite edge in the pole vault, broad jump, discus, two-mile, and the low hurdles. The sprints and the half-mile, in his opinion, are toss-ups, while the Cougars will have an advantage in the remain ing seven events. The sprints where five of the na tion’s top dashmen—Mack Robin son and Jim Buck of Oregon, and Lee Orr, Mel Pettichord, and Curt Ledford of Washington State—will face each other, may establish the trend of the meet. If Robinson can repeat his performance of last Saturday and win four events the Ducks will be on the way. i Storli in the half-mile will carry the hopes of Webfoot followers who honestly believe he can top the best in the Northwest. George Varoff, Captain Dutch Holland. Don Barker, Crawford Lyle and Robinson are the boys to whom Hayward wjll look for first place points. Varoff will be trying for a 14 Washington 9 Squad Invades Oregon Friday Chucker Bob Hardy Leads Hitting With .467 Average. Coach Tubby Graves, mentor of Washington’s Husky baseballers, leads the northerners on their Eu gene invasion this weekend in the Ducks’ third home series, with Oregon trying to climb to the .500 spot. Oregon’s Webfoots improved foot height in his specialty, the pole vault. So far this year he has not been able to clear that height, although last year he lifted him self over 14 feet on more than one occasion. Holland is rapidly gaining his form again and hopes to surpass il50 feet in the discus. Oregon’s Olympian, Robinson, is given an edge in the low hur dles and the broad jump, while Hayward figures either Don Bar ker or Crawford Lyle to take sec ond place points in the two-mile. Colonel Bill and George Oregon's veteran track coach, Bill Hayward, and the world’s indoor pole vault champion, George Yaroff, are shown pondering the future. Track Coach To Be Silent; No Prediction Colonel Bill Hayward called the turn on' the Washington Oregon track meet last Satur day, missing the final score by only one point in a pre-meet prediction, but this week he’s resting on his laurels. Yes, the colonel refuses to name the score of the forthcom ing Washington State-Oregon cinder duel. In fact Hayward says anything can happen in this one. “Anyway,” Hayward said, “I missed last week’s outcome by a point. I slipped on that one.” And Colonel Bill wasn’t alto gether joking. He has predicted meet scores to within a fraction of a point. However, he did go so far as to give Oregon 70 points if his sophomores came through again, but if they falter against the powerful Cougar aggregation, the best he can see for the Ducks is 48 points. No matter which way the pen dulum swings, the meet, which may decide the northern divi sion dual meet championship, will be one of the outstanding track duels of the past few sea sons, Hayward believes. greatly in their play against Idaho as compared with their work in the Washington State series. Both fielding and batting averages went up at the end of the series. The series was marked by the surprising showing of two of Hob by’s sophomores, Matt Pavalunas and John Linde. Pavalunas step ped into the second base shoes— which Coach Hobson has been try ing to fill all season—and handled the job adequately. His steady play there was a dis tinct surprise. Pavvy was former ly an outfielder, but he seemed to have little trouble handling ground balls, making only one error in two games. Linde, southpaw hurler, stepped into the pitcher’s box to relieve Bob Creighton, starting pitcher, af ter the game was delayed 30 min utes because of rain, and set the Vandals down with two hits in five innings. With Pavalunas at second base, Hobson indicated that Bob Beard would stay in right field, while either Ken Battleson, Bob Smith, or John Yerby would handle the left field job. Hardy Hits High Bob Hardy still tops the hitters with 7 hits in 15 trips for a .467 percentage. Beard has 5 in 13 for a .385 average, while Captain Ford Mullen,' Jimmy Nicholson, Gale Smith, and Wimpy Quinn are all close behind. Individual averages: B H Pet.

St. Phone 419 DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS Maybe you didn’t know it but the University of Oregon campus is going to be hit by a thunder storm this weekend. It won’t be the annual Junior weekend storm—the one that blows our campus luncheon helter-skelter —but just a string of athletic events a mile long. With Junior w’eekend festivities furnishing enough variety to keep a body running in circles from Fri day through Sunday, there’s also five different collegiate sports en gagements to be staged here in a day and a half. The schedule - makers had a, tough job trying to avoid conflic tions, and failed in several cases, but they did get the weekend crammed with spicy entertainments So just take your choice. * * * Baseball fans—just drop in on Oregon’s two-game series with the Washington Huskies in varsity baseball on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Track fans—witness a spectacle on Hayward field Saturday p.m. when Colonel Bill Hayward’s var sity cindermen play host to Wash ington State. Football fans—see Tex Oliver’s 1938 eleven in action for the first time in a game Saturday against the Oregon All-Stars. Tennis fans—Paul Washke’s var sity netmen entertain Oregon State’s northern division cham pions here Friday at 2 o’clock. Golf fans—a joker, you’ll have to fly up to Moscow and Pullman to see the varsity team in action. f Comes another chance for George Varoff to get his haircut. The quiet Oregon pole-taulter failed to hit 14 feet against Wash ington Saturday, but he gets an other chance this Saturday on Hayward field when the Webfoots meet Washington State. Poie-vaulter George recently vowed he’d get no haircut until he hit 14 feet. He went over 13 feet 6 inches to better the dual meet record against Washington but failed when the bar was moved up half a foot. Colonel Bill Hayward fears the Cougar cinder array. He says they’re tougher than Hec Edmund son’s Washington team which Ore gon barely nosed out, 67 to 64fc Saturday. Hayward’s worries aren’t with out basis either, at least consider ing what the Cougars did last year. Six Cougar athletes are listed “on the NCAA honor roll for 1937.” Two Washington State sprinters, Lee Orr and Bill Benke, rated num ber one on the NCAA honor roll in the 220 and 440-yard dashes, re spectively. Curt Ledford wasn’t far behind, with a fourth in the 220 yard dash. Jack Orr and Harry Nettleton of the ’37 team placed seventh and ninth in the 440-yard dash, and Glenn Taylor got a tenth in the high hurdles. The Cougars of Washington State will be hard to beat. * * * . For all-around fielding in all kinds of weather, Gale “Busher” Smith, Oregon first baseman, rates about tops. Smith handled 80 field ing chances, 77 of them on put outs, and he did it without an error in Oregon’s six conference games to date. *** * * Anse Cornell and Tex Oliver say there definitely won’t be any night ball game between the varsity and the All-Stars ... it has been set (Please turn to {'age eight)
