Ducks Bomb Linfield, 13-2 GloomyTrack Picture Faces Bill Hayward Despite a steady downpour, the intrasquad track meet was run off Saturday. Because of the ruin, there was a small turnout, and the truck was sloppy. Hay ward remarked, “This is the worst turn out I’ve1 had in 40 years." The meet was run on the hon or system, the field events be ing judged by the participants, while the running events were be ing staged. This was the second group of lime trials for the Portland dual meet Saturday. The first were hold last Wednesday, and the fi nals will be held tomorrow. The frosli participated, but will not be in the Portland dual. All the events were in abbre viated form, but Hayward thinks the final time trials and the meet will be run full distance. Don Wilson, sophomore, was the high scorer of the meet, taking firsts in the three-quar ter mile and the tjtiO. Boh Simp son, hurdler and sprinter, was not there, nor was Dick Shel ton, who runs the <»<><). Homer Thomas, ^pov* vauiter, didn’t show lip, and the other vault er, Owen Day, did not jump. Hurdler Ralph Kramer was unable to compete because of a leg injury he acquired in Thursday’s workout. The squad was bolstered Mon day by the appearance of Ray Dickson. He lias arranged his schedule so he can be out every day. A lab on Tuesday and Thursday had barred him from track, but he has arranged it so lie can be out every day, even though not always with the nquad. He is a letterman in the broad jump and hurdles.

Vacation Boosts Varsity’s Spirits; Frolic Thru Drills By SI SIDESINGER The Duck varsity grid squad resumed activity last night after a three-day rest due to inclement weather and the Easter holiday. The short vacation seemed to have done the team more good than harm, lor there was an added zip and sparkle in the workout, more notice able than before.

Frosh Point To OSC Tilt In preparation for the Oregon State relays April 18, the fresh man track squad, under the tu telage of Bob McKinney, went through a strenuous workout Monday, and was divided into classes. The frosh will run the same day as the varsity, and prelim inary tryouts are tentative for next week, McKinney an nounced. The squad hasn’t been thoroughly organized as yet, and a crude attempt was made Monday. In the sprints, which include the 100 and 220 yard dashes, there are Still and Lawrence who won first and second respective ly in the intersquad meet Satur day. Elliot, Weinstein, Barrows, and Pearson are also entered in the sprinting events. The distance men 440, SSO. mile and two-mile are Todd, Boylen who was third in the GOO Saturday Glasgow. Wisdom.

Coach Oliver has fortified his White, Green and Gold teams with the mem bers of Red group, enabling the practices to go ahead faster in case of injuries or absences. With only three teams to learn assign ments and plays, the sessions seem to roll along smoother. Last night's turnout opened with a rough warmup to toughen up muscles that had been idle for three days. Stretching, chick walking, rolling, and all the ex ercises that tighten ligaments and muscles were involved in the warm up. Work on Passing Passing took a good share of attention under Tex Oliver's eagle eye.

Winner Hurls 3-Hit Ball; Kirsch Clubs By LEE FLATBERG Sports Editor, Daily Emerald Oregon’s '42 baseball edition came to life in the late in*, nings yesterday on Howe field, unleashed its war clubs, and sent Linfield’s Wildcats staggering home on the short end of a 13 to 2 score. The Webfoots move to Pacific tomorrow to play the Badger nine. It was a great day for the Duck pitching staff, long the brunt of skeptics, as it bowed gracefully, thumbed its nose at the skeptics, and set the Linfield nine down with four scattered hits. A1 Wimer took care of the pitching scores for eight full frames and limited the Linfield boys to three measly hits. Ore gon's ever-present sluggers took over from here, blasted out 10 hits and a “baker's dozen” worth of runs. Kirsch Heads Parade Don Kirsch was the big gun in the Oregon barrage. He laced out three singles and a triple in six trips to the plate. He plas tered another far out into left field but a fielder got his glove on it and while Kirsch got four bags on the swat, it went as an error. The game bore some sem blance to a contest for five inn ings. Jim Partlow, Linfield pitcher, had the Ducks fairly well in hand up to the fifth with four runs while his teammates had collected one. Wimer, serv ing up a slow, but very tricky southpaw slant, had the situa tion well in hand for Oregon. Things erupted in the bot tom half of the sixth. Kirsch banged his “error” home run for number one. Dick Whitman reached first on an error, stole second, moved to third on John Bubalo’s single. Then Partlow balked and Whitman scored and Boob moved to third; to score a second later when Linfield’s catcher dropped an infield fly. Oregon kept right on in the seventh. Bill McKevitt and Kirsch singled in order. Linfield’s left fielder lost Whitman’s drive in the sun and two more runs fil tered across. The third baseman Oregon Emerald Sports Staff Fred Treadgold Si Sidesinger Erling Erlandson Tommy Mayea Nancy Lewis * Bill Stratton Virginia Wella June Hitchcock Jean Frideger Harry Glickman Joe Miller booted one to let Whitman score number three of the inning. McKevitt Walks To put a clincher on the affair the Ducks pushed three more across in the eighth. McKevitt got life on a walk, was sacrificed down by Filip’s bunt and came home on Kirsch’s fourth hit. Ike Brown, in for Hamel, socked a single to center, and Whitman"^” walked’. A long fly out by Bubalo brought Kirsch across and a screaming single by Bill Carney seconds later brought Brown in with the final tally. The Wildcats got their first score in the fourth without ben efit of a hit. An error, a past ball, and a sacrifice added up to a score. They added the final one in the seventh with an er ror and a long triple by O'Meara. Oregon got two in the first on an error, a wajk, and a dou ble by Carney. Two more came^ in the fourth on Kirsch’s single, a walk, and a long single by Boob.

The meet, therefore, will be held Thursday evening at 5 p.m. in the Gerlinger pool. Both girls and fellows are invited to attend. From Johnny Kahananui to F. Miles (MJO) Mayfield to even Joe (J. Spencer) Miller the Uossnnn are ready. They’ve been working out lately in some of the local tanks—Saturday night a big- time trial was held at the Stone-Hut. Bud Salinar do looked great. He should be a sensation in the diving events. Franklin uinn, former San Francisco swim are, is all set for the 40-yard breast stroke. Betty Joe Daniels may be re cruited to swim against him. Bob Simmons will be counted on to take points in the crawl events for the Miller mermen. Yes, Sherry Ross is ready (as they ever will be). Susie Favored Susie Campbell has its cham pionship team of last term intact*"" and will probably go into the meet 2 to 1 favorites. Margaret Lesher will definitely be on hand to attempt to crack her own '' COAST records in the crawl and and backstroke. Pat Carson is the usual tower of strength in the relay and distance events and will be ably abetted by Barbara Taylor. Captain Jeanette (don’t men tion my name) Neilson will per form from the LOW diving board, and the competition between her and Barfin' Bud Salinardo is ex pected to make it the finest event of the evening. All in all, the en tire meet shapes up to be a close affair, although the Susie aqua tournament competition. After the meet, to prove that there is no hard feelings, both squads will eat their dinner to gether, and hold an old-fashioned clam-bake.
