Duck-Beaver Tilt
Set Saturday At 2
Baseball fans hang onto your hats! For this Saturday on Howe
field the old Oregon-Oregon State feud is brewing.
A lot more is at stake than just the usual “grudges” which per
meates tha air when Duck-Beaver clans get to “inixin’ it up.” For
upon Saturday’s game, and one at Corvallis Monday, rests Oregon’s
Jiopes of maintaining their slim one-game lead long enough to grab
off tlr t prize cherry—the northern division crown.
Washington, with an impressive
Inte-season record adding pres
tige, has drawn up to within one
game of the pace-setting Ducks.
The Huskies must get past the
Idaho Vandal and Washington
fttate Cougar hurdles, each twice,
»n order to jump into a tie1 with
the W'ebfoots, providing the lat^’
ter can bowl over DSC : both
times.

work-horse righthander diminu

day’s tilt in hopes of coll&ring
the Beavers, who had the bottom
drop out of their championship
dream boat last week when they
lost five out of six tiffs.
There is hardly any question
to whom cagey old Ralph Cole

call on to oppose Begleries.
Glenn Elliott, senior left-hand

next appearance, will undoubt

Portsider Elliott took the first
tilt from Oregon at Corvallis in
the season’s opener, 2 to 1, in a
elrse chucking duel with Beg
leries. Then Elliott had his first
defeat tacked on by the Ducks a
few weeks later when he relieved
Gene Williams in the tenth, only
to have Captain Bill Caffrey poke
out a home run to give our boys
•a 6 to 5 triumph.
It will be the farewell home

the worst in Oregon track history, but they improved steadily to

Ray Weston of Oregon State will
also be in line for individual hon

It is the opinion cf the team,
that if they keep up their present

it is going to be a hard fought
match all the way.

Frosh Have
Successful
Track Year
Although the frosh track squad
has had only three meets this
year, winning one, tying anothej,
and losing the most important—
the Oregon State dual meet last
Saturday, 65 to 56 in a nip and
tuck battle—the squad has pro
duced some future varsity ma
terial.
Undoubtedly the most out
standing man on the yearling
squad is Wally Still, former Mac
hi star. He is essentially a sprin
ter, but has recently taken up
the javelin.
He was mainly responsible
for the tie with the Rooks in
the relays, gathered 10 % points
in the triangular meet against
Eugene and University High
schools that the frosh walked
away with, and was the princi
pal threat against the Rooks
in the dual meet, again collect
ing 16 % points.
Bill Davis
He is not the only promising
yearling, however. Always press
ing Still in the sprints is Bill Da
vis, former Grants Pass triple
threat. He is also entered in the
broad jump and can compete with
anyone on the varsity at present.
Another promising broad
jumper and high jumper is
When they travel Friday, only
those most apt to collect points
will make the trip. The traveling'
squad for the Cougar tussle waii^'
small, but this one tops it all,
only 11 competitors, coach, mana
ger, and trainer.
Complete Squad
The complete squad includes:
Zenas Butler, Chuck Elliot, War
ren Finke, Ralph Kramer, Bob
Kewland, Stan Ray, Bill Regner,
Homer Thomas, Francis Tuckwi
ler, Don Wilson, Bob Simpson,
Manager Bcb McKinney, Coach
Bill Hayward, and Trainer Bob
Officer.
Before their first meet with
Portland university, Colonel
Bill expressed little hope for
the Ducks, but they swept 11
of 15 firsts to wax the Pilots, ^
89 to 42. Negro sprinting and
hurdling star, Zenas Butler,
was the star of the meet, tak
ing four first places.
Lose Relays
Their next meet was against
Oregon State in the annual re
lays at Corvallis. An under
manned squad lost, 5 to 3, losing
the two-mile and four-mile re
lays by forfeit. They also lost the
440-yard relay and the high jump.
Bob Newland was the only Ore
gon man entered in the high
jump event. His heights added
together would have beat the
Beavers,’ however. The DucksW
won the shot put, shuttle hurdle,
and mile relays.
When the Ducks met Wash
ington, they took their worst
beating of the year. The Huskies
thundered over the Webfoots, 85
to 46, sweeping 11 of 15 firsts.
Washington was rated high, and
the walloping was not a surprise.
The Ducks traveled to Pullman
for their next fracas, and the 14
man squad did better than Colo
nel Bill and most Duck fans ex
pected. The score stood 46 to 44
for the Cougars before the fiels<
events were tabulated, hut they’
spelled victory for the Cougars.
The final score was 71 to 60. It
was an uneventful meet, partial
ly because of the weather, but a
dual between Washington State’s
Pat Haley and Duck Zenas But
ler provided thrills for those
present in the high and lew hur
dles.
Hayward Pleads
Colonel Bill pleaded to his boys
and told them that he didn't care
if they lost every other meet of
the year, but he did want them to
beat the Aggies in the annual
dual meet. They did, walloping
the Beavers, 81 to 50. Oregon’s
great sophomore, Don Wilson, $
cracked the only varsity record
of the day, running the mile in
4:19.2. Butler led the scoring,
however, collecting 13 points.
lanky Bill Morris. Since he has
learned the roll system, he has
become one of the best on the
frosh squad. He is about cn the
level with Davis in the broad
jump—around 21 feet.
In Field Events
Also outstanding in the field
events is Ken Jackson in the high
jump. He threatens six feet and
may do it next year. He has been
entered in the sprints because of
sheer necessity on two occasions
this year.
In the middle distances, Tom
Boylen, Herb Lawrence, and 1
Selwin Wisdom are the most
likely to make the varsity next
year. Boylen is outstanding in
the half-mile event, while the
others are standbys in the 440.
