With one of the weakest and smallest squads in Oregon track history, the Ducks faced the Hus kies with three lettermen out of the 21 man squad. As a result, Washington swept 11 of 15 firsts to clean the Ducks, 85 to 46. Ducks Hold on The Oregons seemingly had a chance until about midway in the meet when Washington began winning seconds as well as firsts. Before that time, the Ducks had kept in the race by sacrificing the winning spots and winning the seconds and thirds. Washington made a clean sweep of the javelin and won the mile relay to clinch the meet. Husky Gene Swanzey gave the outstanding performance of the day when he broke the all-time Hayward field record for the 880. George Scharpf set the record at 1:56.9 in the Oregon-OSC dual meet in 1935, but Swanzey clipped two seconds off the old mark, making the new record 1:54.9. Wilson Wins Double One of Hayward’s most prom ising men, sophomore Don Wilson, gave a creditable performance for Oregon, winning the mile and two mile events. He recorded his best time for the mile thus far this season, 4:27.6. Homer Thomas also threat ened a record in the pole vault. He cleared his old mark of 13 feet 6 inches, and tried the 14 foot mark three times hut couldn't clear it. If he had, he would have tied the meet rec ord set by George Varoff in 1938.
