Duck
Tracks
By KEN CHRISTIANSON, Co-Editor of Sports
1 pat myself on the back. No one, with the possible exception
of Henry McLemorcor Jack Dempsey, has forecast so many
winners who turned out to be losers. Beginning with last
spring term (when I called every one of the track meets
wrong) and continuing up to last Saturday, I consistently
pick the losers to win.
The latest faux pas was picking Washington State to
swat Wisconsin. The two bright notes of the football sea
son were the showing of Oregon against Montana and
UCLA. Everyone else picked those too. Then I picked
Oregon over Washington and Idaho a couple of times.
Oh, yes, another time I picked Oregon over Oregon State.
Washington swimmers whacked the Ducks a couple of
times which went against my prognosticating,
Bince I must get one right some day, I’ll take four fliers on
the run. Oregon will win the northern division crown in base
ball and golf this year. Washington will win in track, tennis,
and crew racing. Oregon State will be a surprise in baseball —
its pitching will pull it through more than its share of games.
Oregon on the other hand will win the crown, if its sluggers
win the games for the pitchers.
Jligbt regulars of the Duck team can come homo with .300
batting averages. With this power behind them, the slim pitch
ing power will show exceptionally well.
Watch Quale and Haley
Nov to get back to track prognosticating. That’s my forte
fiince I can’t pick a meet right. Kjell Quale, Washington
sprinter, will be rivaled in the northwest only by Pat Haley,
slim WSC sprinter and hurdler who broke Lee Orr’s and Pat
IVitichord s best. Jack Leicht, transfer to Oregon from Pasa
dena jaysee, will probably rank third to these three.
Jim Todd, Washington captain, will be the top quarter
>niler. Bill John and Ehle Reber of Washington and Ore
gon, respectively, will battle in the broad jump. Oregon
might sweep the high jump with Les Steers, Jim Harris,
and Bill Beifuss are capable of a minimum of 6 feet 3
inches each.
Washington has the best distance and middle distance men.
*J'he Huskies have a wealth of material in the weights and
reserve men in the sprints and other field events.
Short Shots
News notes from here and there: Bob Hardy, former Oregon
. Bout 11paw hurler, meets with bad luck. Latest news indicates
that Hardy has a J>ad sore arm. He was to have been one of
(ho mainstays of the Beaumont (Texas league) farm club of
the Detroit Tigers. This is Hardy’s third season with Beau
mont next year is his year to go up. If his arm continues to
bother him it may.spell quits for baseball.
Frank Boyd blew into town yesterday morning. Boyd
was the left half who put Frank Albert, Norm Standlee.
and Len Isberg to shame in punting last fall. His average
was close to 45 yards per try, but he didn’t punt often
enough to be listed in the American Bureau of Football
Statistics and Information. Boyd will be left half for the
Webfoots next fall say sideline coaches. Ha left a good
job in Rverside, Cal., to play football for Tex Oliver and
company.
Steers was supposed to have broken the world’s high jump
record Friday in Seattle. He wiggled over 6 feet 7% inches*
which is two inches short oi the best mark. The press gave out
conflicting reports on the jump. The world mark is G feet 9%,
l*ot at that, Steers topped the northern division and coast mark.
The high jump takeoff was faulty and fell away while Steers
was jumping. He lost two inches from this. He bruised his
heel, but it may he well so he can jump Friday at the Hill
Military meet in Portland.

Hill Military authorities are
checking every detail, smelling
out “bugs” that would prevent
the attempt irom being official
should a record be established.
Steers climbed up 6 feet 7%
inches in Seattle last Friday for
a new pavilion mark, falling short
of a world record, but has done
better than 6 feet .11 inches in
McArthur court jumps earlier
this year.
