TRACKS

Smiling Tex Oliver is the divot
digging fool of Oregon’s football
coaching staff, according to handi
caps posted by the Eugene Coun
try -club. In plain English, he’s a
golfer.
Tex is listed with a handicap of
It. At least that’s what lie was
listed Sunday when the Eugene
Club’s team met the Colupihia
Edgewater Country club in Port
land.
IKugene lost by a paltry 14 to 43,
with Kirk Eldridge, No. 3 varsity
golfer, shooting a 69 for medalist
honors.

Hill Jones, Eugene’s peerless soft
Jiotl pitcher, draws his reputation
as a strong armor for two reasons.
First—as a smokehall pitcher he
aim ply throws the onion past op
posing hitters,
Second—he thinks nothing of
pitching two games within 24
hours, something that would give
a major league baseball pitcher
re mis of publicity.
Of course softball pitchers can
work more often than baseball
pitchers.

So near and yet so far. It might
lie figured that Oregon's track
team, mythical dual champs of the
Northwest, lost the conference
meet by only a matter of feet al
though finishing in third place 121 j
points below Washington State.
Sprinter Mack Robinson ran the
euivalent to three winning races
foi lots of championship meets, but
unfortunately hit a jinx day and
got no better than a second.
He lost the broad jump by 1 1-8
inches after twice bettering the
conference record, and was barely
nosed out in the 100 and 220-yard
dashes and the 220-yard low hur
dles.
If Mack had been a little more
lucky and won four events the final
score could have read: Oregon 44,
Washington State 421-, Washing
ton 38.

To Carry Track Flag
In Coast Competition
Jim Buck, Mack Robinson, George Varoff,
Dutch Holland, Jim Schriver, Don Barker,
Boyd Brown, and Kirman Storli
By GEORGE PASERO
Eight Oregon Webfoots will carry the Lemon and Green “O” in

year when they take part in the annual Pacific coast conference track
and field championships at Berkeley Friday and Saturday.
Jimmy Buck, Mack Robinson, George Varoff, Boyd Brown, Captain
Dutch Holland, Kirman Storli, Jim Schriver, and Don Barker were the
Webfoots named by Coach Bill Hayward to make this trip. The select
suad, with Oregon’s veteran mentor
in command, will board a south
bound train at noon today.
Colonel HayWard will base his
hopes for points in the conference
meet on the performances of three
veterans of many track wars—
Dusky Mack Robinson, Varoff, and
Captain Holland'.
Mack Is Blanked
Robinson, Oregon’s colored cy
clone, was blanked in four events
at Seattle Saturday. Although he
failed to take a first, he captured
four seconds to run his total of
points scored this year to 75.
Lee Orr, Washington State’s
great sprinter and international
star, who competed for Canada in
ihe 1936 Berlin Olympics, turned
back Robinson in three events—the
100 and 220-yard dashes and the
low hurdles -with terrific finishing
kicks.
In the 100-yard dash. Dusky
Mack and Orr, both were clocked
in 9.5 seconds in nearly a dead
heat. The nod was given to Orr.
but pictures in the Seattle papers
of the finish showed Robinson
.slightly ahead.
Robinson, who is rapidly recover
ing from a head cold which kept
him in the infirmary before leaving
for Seattle, is reducing the number
of events he will participate in this
weekend. He is omitting the 220
as is Buck. Robinson will compete
in the 100, low hurdles, and broad
jump, while Buck enters the 100
and low hurdles.
Powerful Kirman Storli and Jim
my Schriver, one-two finishers in
,the half-mile race in the northwest
meet, may be able to give Oregon
points in this event.
Don Barker, second in the north
i west two-mile run; Boyd Brown,
second in the javelin with a throw
of 198 feet; and George Varoff,,
northwest champion polevaulter
(who won Saturday with a 13 feet
11'+ inch leap, will enter their
specialties.

petition for the year last Saturday

With Oregon State’s Beavers
just pulling out of a slump, Ore
gon's Ducks hastened preparations
for the final series of the . season
against the Beavers Saturday and
Monday.
Basking securely in a two-game
lead, Oregon State started off their
road trip with a win over Jdaho’s
Vandals. Then they hit the skids
and lost three straight games, one
to Idaho and two to WSC. After
the WSC series they were tied with
the Cougars for the league lead,
but since have drawn slightly
ahead of Buck Bailey’s boys with
two wins over Washington, while
Idaho was trimming WSC.
Ducks Reverse It
The Ducks just reversed the pro
cedure on their road trip. They
won the first three, two against
Idaho and the first one against
WSC, and lost the last one to WSC
and the two-game series to Wash
ington Huskies.
The series over the weekend will
conclude the baseball season for
both schools. For Oregon it will
be a chance to climb over the .500
mark at the expense of Oregon
State’s championship hopes.
The Beavers are now precariously
perched in first place in the nor
thern division, a game and a half
ahead of the Cougars who have
games left to play with Washing
ton (2) and Idaho (It.
Breaking even in the series
would assure the Beavers of at
least a tie for first, if the Cougars
should win all three remaining
games.
With Bob Creighton in top form
the Ducks won the first game of
the season against the Beavers,
and the Orangemen turned around
and won the second game of the
series at Corvallis.
