Conference Cinder
Winners Are Picked

Canny Webfoot Mentor Gives Oregon Six
First Places; Mack Robinson Is Expected to
Triumph in Four Events at Seattle
By GEORGE PASERO
Colonel Bill Hayward, Oregon’s cagy track mentor whose fame
as a prognosticator has spread through the western cinder world,
yesterday predicted that Oregon would win six first places in the an
nual northern division meet this weekend at Seattle.
Whenever the Colonel speaks, track followers in the northwest
take notice. Twice this year he has missed calling scores of dual
meets by one point, and he has been known to miss by only a fraction
of a point in the past. And last night he hurriedly scanned his "dope
sheet and ran through each
event of the coming meet.
Yes, he sees Mack Robinson
winning four events, George Var
off, one, and Captain Len Holland,
one, and he is hoping and half ex
pecting his boys to come through
with a couple of firsts.
: “Men, we ought to take 50 points
Saturday,” he told his squad in a
track meeting yesterday after
noon. “Whether we do or not is
up to you.”
Confident of Mack
Hayward is confident that Rob
inson can beat Lee Orr of Wash
ington State in the sprints even
though Orr decisioned the colored
cyclone two weeks ago. Robinson
is almost a cinch bet to cop his
specialties, the low hurdles and
broad jump.
Here’s how Colonel Bill sees it:
100-yard dash—Mack Robinson
to win, Lee Orr to take second un
less he forsakes the century to run
the 440, Jim Buck of Oregon and
Poole and Emigh of Montana to
fight it out for third place with
Bugk favored.
220-yard dash—Robinson to win,
Orr to cop second, and Buck and
Curt Ledford, WSC, to battle for
third and fourth places.
440-yard' dash—Orr to win this
one if he runs it, and if he doesn’t
Dick Montgomery is a sure bet;
Montgomery’s teammate, Jack
Flagg, to finish second, Ledford
to take third, and Millette of Ida
ho to win fourth-place honors.
Latham to Win
880-yard run—Latham of Idaho
to win if he lives up to past per
formances (he has done 1:56 this
year), Kirman Storli and Jimmy
Schriver of Oregon to finish in
that order, and John Swan of
Washington and A1 Long of WSC
to battle for fourth.
Mile run—Garner of WSC to
prove too strong, Swan of Wash
ington to take second, Fred Scher
rer of WSC to cop place honors,
and Pat Probst of Idaho and Mit
chell of Oregon to scrap it out for
fourth.
Two-mile run—No choice on this
one. A great dog fight between
Clyde Wooten and Ed Little of
Washington State, Getchell of
Montana, and Don Barker and
Crawford Lyle of Oregon.
Low hurdles—Robinson to win
going away; either Buck or Mor
gan of Washington to trail Rob
inson across the line in second;
and Orr to take fourth. (In this
cne Hayward sees nothing worse
than a third for Buck.)
Varoff Is Picked
Pole vault—Varoff to win, and
Ken Wright of Washington and
Rod Hansen of Oregon to vault it
out for second,.
Shot put—No prediction on this
one as Johnson of Idaho, Bob
Campbell of Washington State,
and' Chuck Bechtol and John Buck
ley of Washington, all are capable
of 47 feet.
Discus — Captain Holland of
Oregon to win, Campbell of WSC
and Johnson of Idaho to take sec

Varsity Netmen Tied
By McBrides ‘Mob1;
. Big Grudge Unsettled
Washke's Big Three Singles Men Are Upset
By McBride, Eaton, and Applegate in Hot
Matches; Winslow Cracks Ankle
By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC
While the immense gallery of 24 persons and one dog sat spell
bound in the stands at the campus courts yesterday, Coach Paul Mc
Bride’s marauding mobsters rose from the depths of obscurity to tie
the mighty Oregon varsity tennis team, 4 to 4, in the grudge match
of the century. Although the matches were bitterly fought, the only
casualty of the day was a broken ankle sustained bv Barrister Norman
.Winslow, mouth-piece for the
“mob.”
The masterful McBride set the
pace for his mates by winning an
inspired match from Washke’s
pride and joy No. 1 man, Lawrence
E. Crane, 6-1, 6-4. Crane stormed
in vain as McBride potted his shots
all over the court to win easily.
Eaton Comes Along
Charlie “Bilge” Eaton crawled out
from his bunk at Newt’s pub long
enough to wax Mr. Washke’s No. 2
singles man, Mr. Leslie Werschkul,
in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5. McBride’s
boy from Olympia trounced
Werschkul easily in the first set,
and rallied after being on the short
end of the score, 5-1, in the second
set, to win the match, 7-5. Wersch
kul held set point six times in the
sixth game before the invincible
Eaton started his rally.
The third big surprise of the af
ternoon occured when Rexford
“Applebox” Applegate came out of
hiding in the co-op to trim “Hill
Billy” Ellis, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2. The Ap
plegate jinx which has been bother
ing- the Hill-Billy all spring event
ually got the best of him in the
third set.
Varsity Comes Back
After losing the first three
singles matches, the varsity
strengthened its ranks to take the
remaining singles contests. Billy
Zimmerman overcame Norman
Winslow, 9-7, 6-3; Jack Crawford
swamped Bob Vaughn, 6-1, 6-2, and
Karl Mann defeated Bob Horning,
6-2, 6-4.
The doubles matches were split
with the varsity combination of
Ellis and Zimmerman drubbing Mc
Bride and Eaton, 6-4, 6-3, while
Vaugh, Winslow and Horning de
feated Crawford and Mann, 6-4,
3-6, 6-4. In the deciding set, Win
1 slow stumbled while playing a shot
and cracked his ankle for his
trouble. Bob Horning was substi
I tuted for Winslow after the acci
dent.
