Greens Top Whites in Spring Football Finale By BERNIE HAMMERBECK ' The 1946 spring training season for the Oregon football 6$uad officially closed yesterday afternoon as the greenclad first team scored a decisive 32-12 win over the white-jerseyed IJuggets in an intra-squad tilt on Hayward field. Highlight G? the afternoon for the fifteen hundred Junior Weekend spec tators was a powerful final period running attack which netted three touchdowns for the victorious Greens. The Whites went into an early lead* during the first quarter as Eobby Reynolds uncoiled his pitch ing arm to spark a 55 yard drive. Starting front the White 45 Rey nolds connected in the flat to full back Bob Oas who scrambled on to the Green 39. A pair of running plays 'followed which netted another first down on 'tile 29. From there the White's scored when Rey nolds faded track and heaved a long toss which hit end Joe Marion on the run at the tw6,ljtafd, and Marion Went over to’score stand ing up. The try for point was low leaving the score, Whites 6 and Greens 0. From that point the Greens went to work and, climaxing a determined running attack, Norm Van Brocklin went over from the S'/ yard line on a spinner play to tie the score. This time the Green kick for point failed as the ball hit the goalpost and fell short. The third quarter found the Greens in command as Coach Tex Oliver sent in his entire first string. From the White 42 half back Jimmy Newquist hit Duke tversen in the flat with an aerial that netted 27 yards to the White 15. Then Newquist, Koch, and Bell moved to another first down on the 41 , with three running plays. An off tackle slant by Newquist went to Lhe one yard line where full back Bob Koch punched* over for the second Green score. This time 'the Greens gained their extra point as Newquist split the uprights with a placement making the score 13-G in favor of the Greens. The Whites were still in the ball game, however, as they came back with a pair of spectacular passes (hat netted 75 yards and a touch down. From his own 25 George Redden connected with Bill Gold smith who romped on down to the Green 14 before he was finally downed. Then Redden hurled again this time to Joe Maripn who went over for his second score of the afternoon. The try for point failed leaving the Whites on the trailing cud of a 13-12 score. Newquist started tilings roll ing' in the final quarter when he returned a kickoff from his own goal line to the Green 42. Koch, Bell, and Newquist again combined to work the hull to the White 42 where Newquist broke through the right side of the line and squirmed the 42 yards for a score. Newquist again kicked the extra point. The fourth Green score followed punt return by Bell to the 30. A run by Newquist and a pass to Bell netted a first down on the 14. Two smashes into the line fol lowed and on the third down New quist bounced off right tackle to score. The try for point failed.

Duck Divotmen Meet OSC in Return Match Oregon State’s once-beaten golf team will be heavy favorites to hand the Oregon linksmen their second defeat in the traditional rivalry when the two teams meet today at Corvallis. Oregon George Kikes will clash with Oregon State’s Ralph Dichter in the feature match of the sin gles play. Dichter, a freshman sen sation, is the number one man on the Beaver squad. In the first match this season, Oregon State went home with a 15 Yz to ll*y2 victory over the Web foots. Ineligibility forced the Ducks to play with only five men instead of the usual six in that meet and the Beavers picked the winning points without a struggle. Washington’s league - leading team, unbeaten in conference play, was the only team to set the Bea vers back this season. Pietschman Picks ’em.... by A1 Pietsclunan The Oregon track team arrives in Pullman, Washington at 11:30 this morning and will be ready for the scheduled Oregon-Washing ton State dual track meet at 2 p.m. on the Cougar’s fast oval. John Warren, acting as coach on this trip in place of Coach Bill Hay ward, will start nineteen Ducks against the Cougar harriers in what is expected to be one of the closest meets in the conference. The outcome of the meet hangs by a thread and a deciding victory in any of the sprints can change the story of the entire fracas. Ore gon's speedy Jake Leicht will face his stiffest competition today when he starts against the Cougar’s vaunted Louie Christensen. Last Saturday against Washington Leicht clipped the hundred in 10 seconds and sped the 220-yard dash in 21.8. Christensen posted a ter rific :9.8 in the hundred—the fast est time recorded by any Northern Division college athlete this spring. Later in the day he beat the Idaho sprinters to the tape in the 220 and was clocked in the impressive time of :21.7. With Carl Maxey as the other sprinter, the Webfoots should garner five or six points in the hundred and the same amount in the 220. Jake has cut fractions of seconds of his time in both races this year and, running on one of the best tracks in the conference this week, should be able to bring the :10 and :21.8 down some more. The other top event of the day will be the high jump with Ore gon’s bounding Bill Beifuss pitted against State's Vince Hansen. Both Beifuss and Hansen have cleared the same height this season, 0 feet 5 inches, and neither of the two boys lias been defeated in his specialty. Last week Beifuss clear ed 6 feet 2 inches without being pressed and Hansen hit the same mark in the Cougar's meet with Idaho. Tom Garrity is the other Oregon high jumper and the Ducks should co£> five or six tallies in this. The quarter-mile is another of the toss-up affairs. Andy Swan and Ernie Schauer will lead the Lemon and Green thinclads in this first race. The Cougar’s quarter-milers are not known, but they did clip off a fast one against the Idaho winner last week. The winning time of that race was 49.7. Swan has clicked off a 51 second 440 and Schauer has been only a tenth of a second or so behind Swan. Ore gon should piclt up 3 or 4 points in this event. Seventeen year old Walt Mc Clure, Colonel Hayward’s top half miler, will probably cop his event if times mean anything. “Mac” has the advantage of his Cougar com petitor by a second as he loped a 1:59 half-mile last week while the leading Cougar middle, dis tance man hit a 2:00 half. Johnny Joachims, fast improving harrier for Hayward, will be the other Duck in this event and might pick up a point for Oregon’s possible 6 to the Cougars 3. In the mile slot for Oregon are the perennial milers, Hugh Staple ton and George Hammock. Neither of the boys have hit the pace set by the Cougar’s top miler last week —4:27. At that, the Cougar run ner crawled over the finish line, as he collapsed just a few yards from the tape! Oregon should rake in a couple of points in this event and perhaps better in the two mile. Mile—Oregon 3, State 6. Two-mile—Oregon G, State 3. Dave Edwards, Gordon Allbright, Wyn Wright, and Walt Donavan will represent Oregon today in the hurdles. Edwards, Allbright, and Wright will chop over the high sticks and Wright and Donavan over the lows. Considering the number of men we have in this event, Oregon is bound to cop points, and might grab one first. Calling the points: Low hurdles— Oregon 4, State 5. Highs—Oregon 4, State 5. Ed Sanford and Lou Mason, the two Ducks in the discus event, should pick up four points between them by grabbing a second and a third place. It looks like a clean sweep for Oregon in the javelin which would net nine points. Bill Kydd, Medical school student, Lou Robinson, and Dick Shelton should take this event in that order. Oregon might get four points in the shot although the local putters .aren’t up to the Cougar’s best tosses. Hayward has instructed John Warren to put hurdler Dave Edwards in the pole vault. Ed wards may garner one point here, otherwise Or egon is out on the limb as far as pole vaulters go. The Washington State relay team will probably edge the Duck team, although anything can hap pen in this always-exciting race. If the Ducks do win, the five points will come in handy. Call this a draw. Recounting the point getting for Oregon and the Cougars, anyone could guess the outcome of the meet and have good reason for picking his team. Oregon fans pick Oregon, Cougar fans think State will win. Let’s call Oregon the win ner by two points and sweat out the results! CLASSIFIED FOR SALE: Tuxedo size 37, practi cally new $35.00.

Take on Pilots At I p.m. Today Oregon’s league-leading nine, road-weary from the grueling seven-day trip through the north ern end of the conference, goes back into action again today against Portland university on Howe field at 1 p.m. Big Lyle Pettyjohn will prob ably take the hill against Jack Wilson’s Pilots. In four games this esason the two teams both have two wins. Next Tuesday night the Ducks will be in Portland for the return game at Vaughn Street park. Wilson will have either Vince Pesky, younger brother of the current batting sensation in the American League, or Dick Carlas cio, the little fat man who curbed the Oregon power in his first ap pearance here. Coach Howard Hobson will have Dick Rodiger back of the pl^fe; Spike Johnson at first, Walt Kirsch at second, Rannie Smith, who led the team in hitting on the road trip, at short, and Jim Norvel, who broke a long slump to finish second to Smith in the hitting, at the third sack. Norvel has been troubled by a sprained ankle, but it is expected that he will be in the lineup today. Bob Santee, Walt Lozoski, and Tony Crish will hold the picket line with Don Dibble in reserve. The game today is another feature of the 1946 Junior Week end sports program. Oregon’s next conference game will be on Howe field next Satur day afternoon against the Oregon State Beavers. If the Beavers have a successful road trip they could stay within striking distance of Ducks in the flag race and the traditional rivalry could turn out to be the series that decided the conference race. The other three Duck-Baver games follow on Monday, May 20, at Corvallis, Friday here, and Saturday back at Corvallis.
