Duck
Tracks
By BOB FLAVELLE, Co-Sports Editor
I’ve been waiting- until Oregon had its first track meet
before writing- anything concerning the team as a whole.
This was done in the hope that maybe, by some miracle,
the boys would cross Coach Bill Hayward up on his state
ment last spring to the effect that the Webfoots would be
weak in the running events this season,
Oregon Times Are Slow
Hut a miracle didn’t happen. The boys tried their best
against Portland, there is no doubt about that, but the resulting
times of their performances showed that Hayward will be
lucky if bis team wins one track meet this year from the other
northern division clubs.
Consider the times of the races, and where Oregon
placed, The mile was run in the blisterless time of 4:42.2
s-nd when Duffy of Portland crossed the finish line, the
nearest Webfoot was almost 200 yards back, in third place.
The two-mile was a little better. Time—10:25.3. Bill Ross
hung onto Duffy to the final turn but was then run into the
ground by a scorching sprint generated by the Pilot runner.
Oregon ran a poor second in a :51.0 440-yard dash, second in
o :11.5 century, a bad second in a :23.2 220-event, and a
floundering third in the 220-yard low hurdles, turned out
in. .28.4.
Hayward Has Few Winners
Two bright spots were Oregon’s showing in the high hurdles
»;nd half-mile, lies Steers took a vacation from his highjmnpmg
find peeled off a creditable :15.8 performance in the 120-yard
low stick event. Two sophomore 880 men, Bob McKinney and
Francis Tuekwiler,. ran one-two in their specialty and although
they were never pressed, finished in the fair time of 2:002,
good enough for a new meet record.
As it appears now, Oregon will have but one certain
first place, Les Steers in the high jump, when they first
meet conference competition. Ehle Reber, former northern
division broadjump titleholder, stands a fine chance of re
gaining- his title, but is by no means a cinch. Bob Hender
ehott has done 13 feet, 3 inches in the pole vault, and
should score often for the Webfoots this year, but outside
of those three and possibly McKinney and Tuekwiler,
Oregon doesn't have much.
Baseball Nine Again Today
The baseball team gets another chanee to start its precon*
fereuce season today when it takes on Pacific university today
in a doubleheader at Forest Cl rive. Rained out of their first
three of getting in a ball game, the Webfoot players are becom
ing tired of batting the ball around in practice and are eager
to get a crack at some legitimate pitching.
Against the frosh yesterday, they piled up a 14-3 score
and at times slugged the apple all over the lot, but in
general, their playing was sloppy and not too efficient.
Lefty A Winter, diminutive yearling pitcher, was shelled
for all fourteen runs but at times had the big boys break
ing their backs trying to pound liis slow tosses out of the
lot. With the regular season starting in a little over a week.
Acting Coach Anse Cornell’s men could stand a few tough
jpractice games to sharpen up their battling eyes and
smooth out their fielding flaws. Swinging at the slants
of batting practice pitching sharpens the batting eye but
if. takes a little experience against real competition to
get the boys in shape for a tough 16-game campaign.
'Danny' Vezie, They Call Him
liandsomc Mann\ Ze/.ie, new assistant coach of the Oregon
football squad, took in the wrestling matches last Thursday
night and now everyone calls him ‘ Danny." Why ? Well, after
the Danny McShain-Achiu match. Manny was walking out of
thi arena and a slighth intoxicated spectator came swaying
up ;<> him and said "Say Danny, you look kind of fresh after
.in- finishing a wrestling match." Retter keep you hair down

team in 1938.
Time for the event was 1:01.7.
The old record is 1:02.6. Kirk
wood co-op was scheduled as
competition for the Sigma Chi

boys of the white cross went on
to break the record.
Two other teams, the Phi Sigs

SHOOTIN' HIGH
Paul Jackson, tiny Oregon hoop guard, tossed 16 points of Oregon’s
71 through the hoop Saturday night against the Hawaiian Elks.
Jackson’s total doubled that of Hank Luisetti, ex-Stanford ace.
Tough Breaks Hound
Frosh Cinder Squad
A depressing mantle of gloom spread over the Oregon frosh track
picture when ineligibility and the sickness hex grabbed off two of
Coach Ned Johns’ star cindermen.
The scholastic axe fell on Wes Dollar hide, stellar dash man and
broad jumper from Lakeview. He is still working out daily in hopes
that reinstatement might be granted some time in the future.
Veryl Alexander, veteran Grant
high speed merchant, was the
illness victim, Johns revealed
Monday. The Duckling pilot had
depended a lot on Alexander to
handle much of the sprinting for
his outfit.
Short in Sprints
Both athletes were Johns’ most
promising dashmen and the dou
ble loss rent a huge hole in the
short-distance departments.
Due to the scarcity of men out,
many of the Baby Ducks are
branching into more than one de
partment. Bob Newland is the
latest to go in for two events.
He has indicated that he prob
ably will run in the hurdles as
well as participating in his first
love—high jumping. This will be
no new experience for Newland,
as he was a regular hurdler while
with Medford’s state high school
champs last year.
