UO Has Two Firsts With two sure firsts and a couple of possibilities, Oregon’s varsity cindermen meet the best the Northern division has to offer today at Seattle in the Northern division meet, prliminary to next week's ■Coast conference carnival in Los Angeles. Each end of the conference holds a separate tournament and the winners in each division go to the all-Coast meet. Oregon is picked by fans as not better than a third place threat, with both Washington’s powerful Huskies and the defending titlists from Washington State rated as sure to finish ahead of the under manned Webfoot crew. Brown and Hansen Best Duck bets are red-thatched Boyd Brown in the javelin and Rod Hansen in the pole vault. Boyd is defending champion in the stick-slinging event and is favored to beat the class of the nation this year. He made a practice throw this week of 238 feet—4 feet over the present record held by' Bob Peoples of Southern California. Peoples broke his right arm recently' and will be out of competition this spring. Rod has been ■ suffering from a sore leg all season and has been whipping his competition by only six or eight inches! He has cleared 14 feet, 4 inches in previous seasons and has that competitive spirit— he can’t be beat. When the competition gets close, he shrugs and trys a little harder. . Expected to have some trouble in retaining his crown is Ehle Aeber, Webfoot captain-elect and defending champion in the broad jump. Reber has won this event in all dual meets so is favored but Washington has a comer in John Johns. Ehle beat him in the dual engagement, of course, but Johns has the potentialities to make it tough for the stocky Oregonian. Storli vs. Dale Captain Kirm Storli of the Ducks meets his jinx in Bill Dale of Washington State. Dale has beaten Storli once this season and twice last year. Kirm is also entered in the 440. and, on the strength of his performance in last week’s OSC meet, has a good chance of placing here too. He broke 50 seconds in the Beaver meet in spite of being boxed in for the first 200 yards. Jim Buck—1-Oregon’s all-around sprint star—has his hands full with Kjell Qvale of the Huskies. Qvale can cover 100 yards in :9.7 or thereabouts pretty consistently. Jim's best mark is a :9.6, posted as a sophomore. In the low hurdles, Buck faces Lee Orr, Olympic sprint .man and Captain Jim McGoldrick of the Huskies. In the distance runs, there is a host of good performers. Phil Leibowitz of Idaho and Dizie Garner of WSC should pull in 1-2 in the two mile and one of them may nip OSC’s Don Vaillancourt in the mile. Not in his best form this season, Oregon’s Bob Mitchell has never theless run some good races and may come through in the mile. Oregon’s two-mile hopes are pinned on Sophomore Rea Kleinfeldt. OSC’s Flash Ed Woodcock of Oregon State is picked as an easy first-placer in the high jump with his six-foot-six leaps; Oregon’s Harris has gone over six three and might get a second, though rumor has it that Idaho has a flash too. Heat drawings will be made this morning and preliminaries will start at two o’clock this afternoon. Asked whether his Huskies can upset the Cougars, who have won this year too.” Oregon entries are as follows—Brown, javelin; Harris and Mc Kee, high jump; Hansen and Hendershott, pole vault; Reber and Dickson, broad jump; Regner, shot put and discus; Buck, 100-yard dash and 220-yard low hurdles; Storli, 440 and 880; Reiner, 440; Clever, 880; Mitchell, mile; Kleinfelt, two-mile.

Donut Play Nearly Over With only one week of play left before the finals get under way, three more teams scored wins yesterday in softball competition.
