DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS T mere's 'going to be dynamite wrapped tip in today’s dual track meet between Colonel Bill Hay ward’s Ducks and Washington State college. Besides probably settling north ern division dual meet honors, it’s goiiig to have a lot of personal thy?. Watch for anything to happen in the sprints where five possible ff.mt place men will compete. For ftj'iegon Mack Kobinson and Jim {K ick will be pitted against Lee jO'j't*, Mel Pettichord, and Carl Led ford of the Cougars. The winner in the 100 and 220 y»j-d dashes will probably have to Ibeat 9.8 and 21 seconds to beat that mob. "Lee£)rr will beat Mack Robin son in the 440,” said Washington State’s Coach Karl Schlademan re cently when told the Oregon negro flash might enter the longer dash. "Furthermore,” he added, "I’d be willing to put up money on that, if f. had any. Robinson is no super man, Anyone who thinks he’s go jog to mop up the northwest by talcing first in the 100, 220, and 440 is crazy,” Which probably only makes Colonel Bill and his boy Mack laugh inwardly because they know that Schlademan is a worried coach. <■ George “The Mad Russian” Var oTf gets another chance to earn his much-needed haircut. If he cracks the 14-foot ceiling- you’ll know that fh two-week vow has been fulfilled. ► tf Colonel Bill Hayward’s prog nostications are to he taken on .their merits (they should after his Jtusor edge predictions of final t*-.'ores) today’s half-mile will be a W&p. Hay ward says it’s fifty-fifty, and *>ets on Kerman Storli, husky Ben won Techntan, to come through for O-egon. Watch Sophomore Boyd il'-own, jUho throws the javelin nr.ijnus a thumb.

Line Coach Bill Cole’s statement, '‘We’re not pleased with the line i .situation,” probably expresses Oli ver’s opinion too, but maybe they’ll Hpi-iug a surprise. Oregon has enough A-l backs to supply two u> three college teams. Besides being a good preview of pregon prospects, the All-Star game will give Junior weekend 'friends of the University” (only friends have been invited) a glimpse at such performers as Bi tch Morse, Stan Riordan, ends; Del Bjork, Bill Morgan, tackles; Hoss Carter, Joe Huston, guards; Bertie Hughes, center; Bill Bower jiihu.

The opening event will get under way at 1:30. Oregon’s surprising sophomore-manned outfit which last week turned back Washington’s Huskies by a 67 to 64 scores, faces even tougher competition today in ,the Cougar pack. Last year Coach Karl fechlade man’s boys from the Palouse coun try-drubbed Oregon, 90-41, and ther went on to capture the northerr division title by totaling 56 points in the conference meet. The Cou gars finished third in the Pacific coast conference meet and fifth ir the national collegiate carnival. Headed by three of the best sprinters in the nation—Mel Petti chord, Lee Orr, and Curt Ledford— the Cougar enturage arrived in Eu gene at noon yesterday, and sat back to await the bark of the starter’s gun. Sprint Battle Royal One of the greatest,sprint battle royals in Hayward field is expect ed to develop when the three Cou gar stars flash down the cinders along with Mack Robinson, Ore gon's colored cyclone, and lithe Jiir Buck. Every one of these sprinters has hit around the 9.8 second mark ir the century and has touched dost to 21 flat in the furlong. In addi tion, all three of the Cougars thinh nothing- of running the 440 under 50 seconds. Orr has recorded 47.€ seconds in this event. Coach Bill Hayward of the Web foots has refused to pick the exact score, but he said that his boys car score 66 points and win the meet ii his sophomores come through again. But if the first-year men falter, he sees only 48 points on the Webfoots’ score card. Three Are Even Canny Colonel Bill gives Oregon an edge in five events—pole vault, discus, two-mile, broad jump, and low hurdles—and calls three of them, the two sprints and half mile, even. He concedes the advan tage in the other seven events to the Cougars. The Webfoots mentor is count ing upon Len Holland, Pacific coast discus champ and Webfoot cap tain; George Varoff or Rod Han sen, Oregon’s top-flight vaulters; Crawford Lyle, veteran two-miler, and Mack Robinson for first place points. Robinson looks to have no peer in the low hurdles and broad jump, but will have to turn loose all his speed to cop either of the sprints. The half-mile is another event which should bring spectators to their feet. Kirman Storli, Oregon's powerful ace, will hook up with Washington State’s Les Long, a middle-distance man who has bet tered 1:58. In addition, quarter miler Jim Schriver will switch Over to the half. Distance Races Count In Hayward’s opinion, much de fends on the outcome of the dis tance races in which the crack northern division champion in two whtoh is playing a two-game series here this weekend against Hobby Hobson’s club is virtually a new outfit compared to last year. A1 I’lununer, shortstop. Bud Pripp. right fielder, and George Zeigen fuss, first base, are about the only regulars Tubby Graves lias back. Pitcher Warren Siercr. who opened yesterday’s game for Wash ington, was the boy who shut out Idaho in Seattle last Saturday with one hit, 8 to 0. \miler Clyde Wooten, and two other iplace men in Ed Little and Fred ,Scherrer battle for supremacy with Oregon’s Don Barker, Bob Mit J chell, and Crawford Lyle. In the | mile, the Cougars will have their ! trio of two-milers along with Dixie j Garner, a lad who last week beat | Idaho’s best to the tape,, running a 4:23.5 miles. Other Cougar threats are George Nelson, javelin thrower whose best ! mark is 194 feet 7 inches; Clint Decker and Bob Wagner, hurdle caes; Clayton Stotts, a broad jumper who leaps close to 23 feet; and Eldred Ramos, a pole-vaulter |iwho has cleared the bar at 12 feet j 9inches. i The meet will be run off accord | ing to the new national collegiate order of events. Officials Are Picked ForDuck-WSCMeet Ralph Coleman of Corvallis will be referee and starter of today's Washington State-Oregon track meet on Hayward field. Judges of the finish are D. D.

Oregon held a 3 to 2 advantage at the conclusion of the singles matches, but the two strong doubles teams from Corvallis had too much for the VVebfoots to handle and took both contests to give OSC its victory. Every match was hard fought1 and the majority of the battles were stretched into three sets. Lar ry Crane and Les Werschkul lost the singles matches for the Ducks, j and both doubles teams were de feated in three set affairs. Summary, singles: Hockly, OSC, defeated Crane, Oregon, 6-4, 10-8. Trouten, OSC, defeated Wersch kul, Oregon, 8-6, 6-4. Ellis, Oregon, defeated McComb, OSC, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1. Zimmerman, Oregon, defeated Dietrich, OSC, 6-0. 6-2. Crawford, Oregon, defated God dard, OSC, 8-6, 3-6, 6-3. Doubles: Hockley and McDougal, OSC, de feated Crane and Zimmerman, Ore gon, 9-7, 4-6, 6-3. Trouten and McComb, OSC, de feated Werschkul and Ellis, Ore gon, 7-5, 2-6, 6-1. This afternoon the varsity will attempt to even the score with the Beavers when they meet the OSC lads in a return match on the Cor vallis “glass-top” courts. Washke’s frosh will attempt to repeat their 7-0 win over the rooks this morn ing in Corvallis. Ducklings Ready For Contest With OSCRooksTodag Orange Babe Squad Favored for First Tilt in Corvallis With the first game of the an nual “little civil war” baseball se* ries slated for 10 o’clock this morning in Corvallis, John War ren, Duckling coach, last night put his squad through a long hard practice session. Hitting received the major at tention of the frosh mentor as he attempted to iron out defects in the batting of the team. The Ducklings have been in a slump lately and unless their hitting shows great improvement, the hopes of winning the game are very faint, Warren said. Most of the regular lineup will start the rook game, Warren said, with either Pete Igoe or Bob Rei der starting on the mound for the yearlings. Behind the bat tor warrens team will be big James Rathbun, who appears to have his hitting eye in condition. No change was announced by Warren in the infield with Her bert Hamer holding down the first sack job, Jack Shimshak at sec ond, Elmer Mallory at short, and Tini Smith at third. This combin ation has worked together all year and should prove effective against the rook batters. _ In the outfield Coach Warren will have “Whizzer” White, Quin tin Earl, and Evert McNeeley. Meanwhile in Corvallis the rooks are resting after winning most of their pre-season games, and are heavy favorites to take the frosh in the annual four-game series. HITS FIRST DODO Frank Evans, genial University Press linotype operator, entered golf’s hall of fame yesterday by sinking his tee shot on the 13th green at Laurelwood course. Like most golfers, Mr. Evans searched for the ball off the green. He was rather dazed when someone found it in the cup. “Well, it’s the first one in eight years,” he said last night.
