Ducks Await Cougar Cinder Thrust Webfoots, WSC Vie Ducks Run Counter To Stiff Rivalry; Steers Leads Drive By ANN REYNOLDS Oregon’s improving track team takes on the Washington State college Cougar this afternoon at 2 o'clock on Hayward field. Bill Hayward’s thinclads are conceded no chance against the powerful lads from Pullman. Main threat of the Oregon squad is triple-event Les Steers, record setting high jumper, shot putter and javelin thrower. Oregon’s other best threats appear to be in the middle distances. Indications are that the meet will be run off in spite of recent downpours. The track has been recently rolled and jumping pits have been fitted with canvas covers during the rain. The invaders boast a strong lineup in all events. Stellar threat of the Cougars is sprinter Pat Haley who has covered the 100 in :09.5 so far this year. Haley may be pressed by Jake Leicht, Recruited from football to help the Oregon team. Francis Tuckwiter, quarter miler, and his cohort, Boyd Lee, are rated a good chance to take first and second in the 440. Bob McKinney, sophomore flash from Payette, Idaho, has an outside chance to annex first place in the half-mile. Bob ran his event in under two minutes against Wash ington last Saturday. Noel Williams and Bill Dale will enter the mile for the Cou gars. Williams chased Phil Lei bowitz of Idaho home in a 4:12 mile two weeks ago. Dale has been coast conference half-mile champion for the past two years and steps up to the longer dis tance today to ease a leg muscle —or so say the publicity releases. Zenos Butler, if he overcomes an obvious lack of conditioning, may take the high hurdles and come close in the lows. Zenos won the low sticks at Seattle and tied with Steers in the highs for first. Les Steers, who set the world high jump record against Wash ington and has had to put in a hard week in front of the cam eras, will enter the javelin throw and shot put as well as the jump. His world record leap was 6 feet 10 25-32 inches. Oregon’s mile relay is another threat to the Cougar; Bill Hay yard has a sextet of men capable of fast 440’s to choose from. Bill Ross will bear the brunt of the distance burden, filling the num ber one slot in the two-mile run. Bill is conceded a good chance to take his event. Museum Hours The Murray Warner oriental art museum will be open from 2 to 5 and from 8 to 10 p.m. Satur day, May 3. Featured will be an exhibit of Russian icons. The museum will also be open spe cial hours for Junior Weekend.

Coed Intrarmirals By I'. 31. HEXTER Softball Sparked by Pitcher Phyllis Curry and all-state women’s fielder, Pat Carson, the coed co-op softball team cornered the e.am pionship of Leage III to pace leaders of other brackets rsu.ng down the stretch for spots in the all-campus playoffs. Smart ng victories over Kappa Alpha The ta, Gamma Phi Beta, and Alpha Gamma Delta clinched t h o League III top spot for the co-op lasses. Susan Campbell hall and Alpha Delta Pi are struggling for the League I title, with League II participants still trying to un ravel the wrinkles in their sched ule. Orides, Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, and Sigma Kappa are still wrangling over the League IV outcome. Now that the smoke has been blown away over League III clashes, it's time to dish bill the berries to the gals who won and those who tried but just couldn't hold out. Jan Keer, Theta terser, deserves a round of applause along with Miss Currey of the co-op team, ditto for Miss Car son of the co-op outfit. Tennis Coed all-campus tennis singles and interhouse doubles have climbed into the third round, with Florence Kinney, last-year's titleholder, holding her own. How ever, before all the dope is com piled in the books, she'll probably stumble into a lot of trouble, blonde and all 5 feet 2 inches of it. the obstacle, Babs Du Pi 7 of Susan Campbell hall, Miss Kin ney’s doubles partner. Miss Du Puy appears about the best thing in women's tennis to scurry about the University, courts in a long time. She hits a strong forehand shot, can handle difficult high backhand tries with finesse, and darts nimbly about the net for volleys and smashes. All campus singles matches, to be played this weekend, pit Bar-, bara Mathias against Phyllis Sanders, Frances McCarty against Nancy Allen, Eleanor Evans against Babs Du Puy, and Marilyn Christlieb against Clara Renn. Intrahouse duos will see Babs Du Puy ar.d Florence Kinney of Susie take on Alpha Xi Delta’s Florence Cooley and Barbara Mathias, Robin Nelson and Miss Allen of Chi Omega playing Seta Tau Alpha’s Helen Barklow and Betty Thorndyke.
