Huskies Test Haywardmen Today Six Seniors inLast Local Appearance By BOB FLAVELLE Six seniors on Oregon’s track team will perform on the home cinder path for the last time this afternoon at 2:30 when the Ducks entertain the University of Wash ington in a meet which will find second and third places playing an important role in deciding the winner. For Bob Mitchell, Jim Buck, Captain Kirm Storli, Hod Hansen, Frank Emmons, and Boyd Brown, it will be their farewell appear ance before the home fans and although the Duck team is the underdog in this meet, the senior six are all favored in their spe cialties. The big question mark today is the condition of Jim Buck, who has had a slight leg ailment the past few days. If he can perform today as he did last Saturday against Oregon State in the re lays, the Webfoots may be able to eke out a victory over the Husky crew. Hayward Predicts Coach Bill Hayward, one men tor whose advance dope can be taken with much more than a grain of salt, predicted victories for Oregon in the mile, two-mile, SSO, pole vault, shot put, and javelin throw. Washington, he predicts, will also take six firsts and the low hurdle, high jump, and discus events are a tossup between the two. Lack of reserve strength is ex pected to spell disaster for the Oregon team. With first place points so evenly divided, second and third place winners will de cide the ultimate meet victor, and the Seattle squad seems to have considerably more manpower in each event. Rod Hansen is expected to have little trouble garnering top hon ors in the pole vault despite the fact that this will be his first meet of the season, having been on the shelf for three weeks with a pulled muscle. Javelin Record Possible A new meet javelin record is possible if Boyd Brown, Oregon’s great spear tosser, is pressed for victory. Brown threw over 207 feet in the Portland meet this year and is reported to have tossed the javelin 2IS feet in a recent practice session. Hayward made it clear, however, that a first is all he expects from Boyd and he is not looking for any records to be broken.
