Duck Trackmen Threaten
Revenge Over Beavers
By AL PIETSCHMAN
Unthwarted by their rash handling at the Washington State
track meet Saturday, Colonel Bill Hayward’s cinder men pre
pared yesterday and Monday for the final dual conference meet.
The team travels to Corvallis Thursday for the annual track
meet with the Aggies, and it looks as if the meet is going to
Jae closer than the Beavers want.
The Ducks took a beating from
the Orange trackmen at the be
ginning of the season in the dual
relay meet. State came out on the
long end of the score with a 6-2
advantage over the local harriers—
but manpower was essential in the
relays and Hayward was scarce in
that department. Bill is still short
as far as that goes, but has made
up for this lack by developing
several double event men.
OSC’s Best
In their dual meet with Idaho
at Corvallis Saturday, the State
track team coached by Doc Swan
overwhelmed the Vandals 80 2-3 to
49 1-3. Idaho had knocked over
Cougars the week before in a sur
prise win and the Cougars in turn
edged the Ducks. These round
robin meets have produced a
“donnybrook” situation as far as
selecting potential winners. The
only team not beaten is Washing
ton and the Cougars expect to take
them this week.
Swan’s best runners to date are
Don Humphrey, sprinter; O. B.
Hughes, quarter miler; Dick Pet
terson, miler and two miler; and
John Cherry, half miler. The field
events at State are a tossup in
strength; Swan has the shot put
and discus pretty well tied up with
stellar performers Bio Stevens, Bill
Blackledge and Bob Reiman gar
nering points.
Martinson Shows Well
Another man showing promise
on the State cinder team is foot
ball letterman, Norm Martinson.
Like Oregon’s Lou Robinson, Mar
tinson surprised everyone at State
with one of his first javelin tosses.
Against Washington Norm copped
a first with a heave of 172 feet
41/ inches. This doesn’t compare
with Robinson’s top heave or come
close to Bill Kydd’s regular throw
ing.
Kydd had been steadily taking
firsts and seconds all year and
probably will come through with
important points in the Northern
conference meet at Seattle May
24th. Bill is a medical school stu
dent and attends the Portland
Medical School, and journeys prac
tically by himself to get to the
meets. When Oregon was hosts to
the other schools on Hayward field,
Bill would hit the road and arrive
in Eugene just in time for the
meets—and a sure three or five
points. Before entering the service,
Kydd held one of the national
records an dis steadily getting back
his old form.
Late Comer Develops
Wyn Wright is another of Colo
nel Hayward's trackmen that has
come right along recently. Wynn
didn’t turn out until a month ago
and was hampered in his hurdling
efforts by sore legs during his first
weeks on the track. Against the
Cougars he showed good form and
was just a shade behind the
Cougar winner. Wynn was one of
the top hurdle men in the Southern
California junior college league.
Light workouts for the distance
men and easy warmups for other
runners are scheduled by Hayward
for today’s training program. Some
of the field event men have eased
off practice since Monday in an
effort to conserve strength for the
“feud” meet.

The Oregon State Beavers, lone
remaining threat to the University
of Oregon’s quest for the 1946 Nor
thern Division baseball champion
ship. were all but knocked from
the race yesterday when they were
downed 5 to 1 by the Washington
Huskies in Seattle.
Third Win Over OSC
The Huskies had been mathe
matically eliminated from the
championship running Monday
when the Beavers defeated them
in the first game of a two-game
series. Yesterday’s win for the
Seattle nine gave them a three to
one nod over the Orangemen for
their 1946 play as the Huskies
triumphed twice in an invasion of
Corvallis earlier in the season.
The Staters are now out on the
limb and must sweep their four
game series with Coach Hobby
Hobson’s Webfoot nine in. order to
win the title. A single win for the
Hobsonmen will sew up Oregon’s
eighth horsehide title in the last
ten seasons of competition. The
Webfoot-Beaver rivalry will open
this Saturday at Eugene with the
remainder of the series scheduled
for next week—Monday at Corval
lis, Friday here, and the Saturday
finale at Corvallis.
Yesterday’s game at Seattle
found the Huskies in command
from the very first inning when
they punched across three runs off
Beaver hurler Don Cecil; the Wash
ingtonians never relinquished their
lead as they shoved across another
pair of runs in the fifth. The lone
State tally came in the fourth
frame.
Soriano Gets Win
Winning hurler for the Huskies
was Max Soriano, ace Washington
hurler who lost a pair of tilts to
the Oregon nine when he failed to
halt the Ducks’ determined ninth
inning rallies. Soriano was in fine
form yesterday as he limited the
Staters to six hits and had perfect
support in the field.
Losing hurler for the Beavers
was Don Cecil, who allowed the
Huskies only five hits, which were
converted into as many runs.
At Pullman yesterday the WSC
Cougars eked' out a close 3-2 win
over Idaho in the Inland Empire
cellar series. Feature of the contest
was a pair of five-hit hurling jobs
which were marred by faulty sup
port in the field with each club
contributing six errors.
