Thirteen Runners Enter Northern Division Meet At Seattle From Oregon Robinson Is Expected to Take Four Firsts; Barker, Storli, Hansen, Brown Are Booked For Needed Seconds and Thirds By george"pasero A small contingent of Oregon athletes, 13 strong and all determined to bring the northern division championship back to Eugene, swung off the northbound train at Seattle yesterday and promptly began marking time until the starter’s gun sends them into action this after noon and tomorrow against the pick of the northwest track and field athletes. Star athletes from five northwest colleges—Oregon, Washington state, Oregon state, Idaho, and Montana—poured into Seattle yes- ' terday to await the first call along with the host team, Washington. Qualifying heats will be run in the 100 and 220-yard dashes, low and high hurdles, and trials will be held in the high jump, broad jump, shot, discus, and javelin this afternoon. Finals in all races, jumps and throws will be run off Saturday. Ducks Dual Champs Three squads — Oregon’s dual meet champions, Washington’s 1 powerful Huskies, and Washing- ' ton State’s Cougars—are pre-meet favorites. The eyes of northwest track fol lowers, however, will be centered | on the sprints where 10 of the na-' tion’s premier sprinters roar down! the “grandstand stretch.” Mack Robinson and Jim Buck of Oregon, Marion Hay of Washing- j ton, Lee Orr, Mel Pettichord, and Curt Ledford of Washington State,1 Bob Leslie and Aaron Funk of Oregon State, Allan Poole of Idaho, and Emigh of Montana comprise one of the classiest fields of sprin ters to appears on a northwest track in many a moon. Robinson, Oregon’s colored cy-' clone, will be entered in four events,, and according to Colonel Bill Hayward, Webfoot mentor, he; may win all four* Sophs Carry Hopes On the performances of four sturdy sophomores, all potential; first-place winners, may rest the! fate of the Webfoot squad, accord ing to Hayward. Kirman Storli, powerful half-1 1 miler; Don Barker, strong two-; miler; Rod Hansen, up and coming polt-vaulter; and Boyd Brown, tow-headed javelin tosser, are the | boys whose efforts Saturday may( spell victory or defeat for Oregon’s thinclads. ! Storli will be one of the 880 men ! favored to win. His hardest com petition is expected to come from Ben Adams, Washington sopho-; more who has done 1:56 thsi year, I but was beaten by Storli once', and Latham, an Idaho boy who also ; has a 1:56 mark to his credit. Oregon’s close-cropped lad may also find plenty of competition j from his teammate, Jim Schriver. Hansen Hits 13 Feet Rod Hansen jumped 13 feet at Corvallis Saturday, and if George. Varoff’s leg bothers him, the Olym pia sophomore may come through with a win if he can beat Wash ington’s Ken Wright and Ed Bing-.j ham, who have cleared 12 feet this year without fully extending them selves. Otherwise, Varoff will be favored. Thumbless Boyd Brown, the boy who throws the spears in spite of the greatest handicap, in Hay ward’s opinion, a javelin thrower could have, has a chance to win in spite of Idaho’s Don Johnson’s toss of 207 feet this year. Hayward terms the two-mile a “dog fight” but gives his runners, Barker and Crawford Lyle, a slim chance against Clyde Wooten and Ed Little, the Washington State duo, and Wayne Getchell of Mon tana. Colonel Bill also expects a first place from Captain Len Holland in DUsa Gamma Hall Start Intramural Softball Play-offs The DUs and the Gamma hall oaseballers lead the way in the in tramural ball finals playing- their 'irst game at 4 o’clock today.

Women's Co-op Tips Kappa 9-8 In Coed Softball Margaret Macdonald Pitches Girls' Co-op To Softball Title By EVA ERLANDSON )The Women’s Co-op added an other cup to its collection when they tipped Kappa Kappa Gamma 9-8 in the championship game in coed softball Thursday afternoon. The game was hard fought all the way through, with quite a lot of it a pitchers’ battle. Dorothy Bates pitched a beautiful game for the Kappas, striking out several and walking only one in the entire game. The score was 2-2 at the end of the first inning and the game was neck and neck from then on, with the score 8-6 in favor of the Kap pas at the beginning of the last half of the last inning. Most of the scoring on both teams was made on overthrows to home. The strong point of the Kap pas was crashing home. The Co-op won with their pitcher. In the last half of the last inn ing a double by Mildred Snyder, Co-op, in a batting spurt brought in two runs to tie the score, with the winning run coming in on an error. The only home run in the game was hit by Billie Richardson, Co-op. Women’s Co-op Kappas Lewis .c. Calavan Macdonald .p. D. Bates Hole .lb.... M. Thatcher Enokson .2b. Brown Corbett .3b.

Varsity Racqueteers Will Oppose Huskies By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC Oregon’s varsity tennis team will make its final bid for conference dual met honors this Saturday when they meet the league-leading Washington Huskies in a seven match battle in Seattle. The Hus kies are undefeated in conference play while the Ducks hold a firm second position with one loss to Oregon State. On their way north for the big match, Washke’s netmen will stop off at Linfield college this after noon to play a return match with the Linfifeld Wildcats. The varsity swamped the McMinnville team 6 to 1 earlier in the season on the University courts. Chances for upsetting the mighty Huskies on their own courts are very slim, according to mentor Paul Washke. The Oregon State club which split its annual series with the Webfoots was trampled 7 to 0 by the Washington racqueteers two weeks ago to drop them out of the league race. Wash ington also holds a 4 to 2 win over the strong Linfield net squad which is vastly improved since its early season showing. By Page, Captain The Husky squad, paced by Cap tain By Page, is one of the strong est aggregations ever to play under the tutelage of Jack Torney, vete ran Washington coach. Larry Crane, Duck singles ace, will op pose Page in the feature match of the afternoon in Seattle. Les Werschkul, who staved off all chal lengers to his team position this week, will meet George Ravens ci'oft in the No. 2 singles battle. I Ellsworth “Vines” Ellis, husky No. 3 singles man for the Web foots, will meet veteran Bill Crapo of the Washington team, Bill Zim merman will play Curtis Coons in the No. 4 position clash, and Karl Mann will probably meet Dewey Ostrom in the final singles match. Oregon’s veteran doubles team made up of Seniors Larry Crane and Bill Zimmerman, will oppose the powerful Page - Ravenscroft combination in the No. 1 doubles encounter, and Ellis and Werschkul will clash with Crapo and Coons in the final doubles contest. No Shakeup A shakeup in the Webfoot squad which seemed imminent following the match with the super-varsity last Tuesday, failed to materialize after challenge matches were com pleted yesterday. Chuck Eaton, who was billed to replace Wersch kul in the No. 2 spot, failed to come through in his challenge match with the young sophomore star Wednesday, and chose to drop out of the picture for this season’s activities. Werschkul defeated him 11-9, 6-2 in a hard-played match Wednesday afternoon. Ellsworth Ellis “regained” his position as No. 3 singles man by stopping Karl Mann 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 Wednesday. The Oregon varsity will wind up the season a week from Saturday when a picked four-man team will again make the 300-mile trek to Seattle to participate in the nor thern division match. The results of the conference tournament will have no bearing on the dual meet standings of the conference. Gamma Hall, Sig Eps Win Loop Gonfalons; Phi Sigs Defeated for Triple Tie Bob Engelke, Porky Andrews Pitch Clubs to Play-Offs; Alpha Hall and Delts Also Take Games to Wind Up Play Sig Eps and Gamma hall yesterday won their respective division championships. The Sig Eps defeated the Fijis 11 to 9 and Gamma hall took the Canard club 8 to 3. The Comets made it a three-way tie with the ATOs and Phi Sigs in division five by defeating the Phi Sigs 13 to 4. Alpha hall raised themselves out of the cellar position by beating ‘ Campbell co-op 13 to 8. The Delts brought their standing up from the cellar spot to tie for the cellar spot by winning from the Phi Psis, -LU LU D. Sig Eps 11, Fijis 9 Porky Andrews pitched the Sig Ep boys to a win allowing 14 hits in the seven inning fracas. The Fijis Adams also allowed 14 hits to make a grand total of 28 hits. An drews gave up 3 walks and struck out 3. Adams gave Sinclair the only walk the Sig Eps got and struck out one.

Eengelke was replaced in the fifth by Dariotis after Gamma hall had scored their eight runs. Engelke allowed the Canard club men only one hit in his four inn ings and one run. Dariotis gave up two runs on two hits. Jacobsen had bad innings in the third and fourth, Gamma hall col lecting seven of their eight runs in those frames.
