DUCK
TRACKS
By ELBERT HAWKINS
Moaning Grant Swan, Oregon
State’s perpetually broken-hearted
♦rack coach, falls to even threaten
Colonel Bill Hayward’s reputation
us a track meet prognosticator.
an fact he doesn’t even come
close. Saturday against Oregon in
Corvallis Swan’s Orangemen more
than doubled the pessimistic men
tor’s hopeful prediction of 27 points
(for his team. The Beavers got 57 »/2
to Oregon 73>/2.
(Swan can say “I wuz robbed”
too because canny Colonel Bill
didn’t let his boys runs their hearts
and legs ragged for a victory they
w«re virtually conceded by every
one.
{So moaning Grant Swan goes
down in history as the northern
division’s worst track coach “prog
giie” just because Bill Hayward got
generous and didn't field his team
at full strength.

Roaring Mack Robinson, Ore
gon's sprint start, who thinks noth
ing of winning three events a meet,
set the only dual meet record
iSaturday by running a :09.7 hun
dred yard dash.
But compare Mack’s :09.7 sec
onds, his best of the year, with
the unusual :09.6 stepped off by
Washington State’s Lee Orr
against Washington Saturday..
Coach Hayward is worried about
the unknown Montana track squad
which is reputed to have a :09.6
sprinter. Oregon and Mack Robin
son will tackle boys and more too
in the coming conference meet.
The much-advertised Orr-Robin
sor. century duel never developed in
Eugene, as you’ll remember, be
cause Robinson disqualified. Orr
ra: the 100 in :09.8 that day.
& tU
Oregon State cut in for two
places out of three in the high
.jump where Beaver Coach Grant
JSwan, “felt sure" they had a
chance but unceremoniously scored
u nine-point sweep of all three
places in the 440, Oregon’s sore
spot.
•Jim Sehriver, Colonel Bill’s 440
specialist, “made hay” again in the
longer 880-yard run by tailing pow
ertul Kerman Storli across the
finish line fro a second place.

Honest John Warren, guider of
fresh baseball destinies, is begin
ning to slip into his moody ways
<jf last year.
,His Ducklings scored their sec
ond win of the season over Bud
Forrester’s Oregon State rooks
Saturday, 14 to 7. A week ago
it was 9 to 1.
But Honest John turned up with
hi- reply which would have been
more appropriate a year ago than
(now, "we didn’t win that game,
they lost it—just naturally handed
it to us." Which is very much un
like the Honest John Warren of
J938.

McBride's Netmen
Meet Varsity Today
By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC
The greatest gradue tennis match in the history of the University
of Oregon will be hashed out on the local battlefields this afternoon
when Paul “P.U.” McBride’s mighty aggregation of has-beens inc.
will attempt to annihilate Coach Paul R. Washke’s varsity racqueteers.
The slaughter is slated to start at 2 p.m. school time.
McBride’s mob, who have been itching to take a crack at the varsity
all season, are all prepared to give
the varsity “dubs” (according to
the “mob” members) the drubbing
of their career. Betting odds at the
College Side last night favored the
challengers by 10 to 1 odds with
Charlie “Bilge” Eaton doing all the
betting.
McBride Leads
Leading the super-varsity squad
will be the coach, manager, and
president, Paul R. McBride of Port
land University fame who is sched
uled to oppose Larry Crane, Paul
R. Washke’s great captain and No.
1 singles player. Due to the fact
that Crane has an engagement
selling shoes today, that affair has
been postponed until Thursday.
Playing No. 2 for the “mob” will
be Chuck Eaton, Newt’s best cus
tomer, who will hash it out with
Les Werschkul, varsity No. 2 man.
Eaton has been on the outside look
ing on this season, and a chance to
,play a varsity man is an answer
to his prayers.
No. 3 on McBride’s side will be
Rexford “Applebox” Applegate,
No. 8 on the varsity this year, who
is scheduled to crack racquets with
Ellsworth “Hill Billy” Ellis, varsity
(No. 3 singles man.
i As a No. 4 singles player, Coach
McBride has enlisted the services
of Ex-letterman Norman “was
once” Winslow to play ball with
Bill Zimmerman, varsity No. 4:
man. In the No. 5 singles scrap
Bob Vaughn will play for the
super-varsity against Karl Mann
(Or Jack Crawford. Washke will
toss a coin to decide who will draw
the assignment.
Just to give all of his men a
chance,- Washke has requested a
No. 6 singles contest, so McBride
consented by calling on Maury Bin
ford’s melodious Bob Horning to do
(the honors.
The doubles matches will con
sist of the McBride and Eaton com
bination in the No. 1 spot, with
Norman Winslow and Bob Vaughn
completing the roster.
The average coed spends more
on refreshments and entertainment
than she does for cosmetics and
beauty treatments.
