OREGON STATE (Continued from f<arjr nine) that needed one point. Washington had tough breaks too; they lost their ace hurdler in the lows; Don Wold, the beautiful Purple and Gold distance runner, was scratched from the half-mile due to sickness. Grant Swan’s Beavers folded in several events, WSC fluked off and didn’t get points they were credit ed with by the Seattle sports writ ers—it all made for the best meet in conference history. Jake Leicht. Bill Beifuss, and Bin Kydd led Oregon in its spec tacular point-getting performance by garnering firsts for Coach John Warren. Colonel Bill Hayward was sched uled to fly to Seattle Saturday morning but was stricken with heart ailment as he prepared to hoard the plane and was force'd to stay in E/.gene. Bill wired his “off Lhe train and into cars’’ team that lie couldn’t make it and wished them luck in the big battle. Leicht upheld all those who con tended that he would make the vaunted WSC sprinter, Louie Christensen, look like a piker in the hundred. Christensen was sup posedly credited with a :9.8 hun dred somewhere along the season’s way, but looked pretty poor as Jake turned on the steam. Nine false starts nerved the sprinters before they finally got iit- -.. off, and when they did Christensen had jumped the gun, but the start er, Stan Anderson, former Wash ington star hurdler and current hurdler record holder in the con ference, didn’t call the boys back and Jake was strides behind Chris tensen, when heb left the blocks. The WSC star tried to keep ahead of rolling Leiclit, but didn’t have the speed to prevent Jake's zip ping by him and winning the race by a yard or so. Jake's time in this race was a fast :9.9. Jake repeated his performance in the 220, and Carl Maxey made it one-two for the Ducks. Leicht finished with a 21.7 time. Christen sen folded after the first few yards, claiming a pulled muscle. Beifuss, hitting one of the “off” days in his jumping career, cleared only 6 feet 1 inch to win the high jump. All the bounding men were off and Bob E)arber, OSC’s top 6’3” jumper, went out at 5’6”, Ore gon's Tom Garrity, definitely not up to par, tied for fourth spot with a 5-8 jump. Javelin tosser Bill Kydd came through in expected form and won his event with a tremendous 194 foot 1 inch heave. Tossing his last javelin in college competition, Kydd picked up another needed first for John Warren. Bill finishes his dental training in Portland this year and ended his throwing Sat urday. Andy Swan, Walt McClure, Wyn Wroght, and Frank Deines, were t Let's make a date for a pleasant evening For an evening' of healthy fun make a date with our ,< howling; alleys.

Hughes in a tight I race. | McClure ran a pretty race in the I half-mile, coming up from fifth on ! the last curv£. Walt forged into second, close on W§C Dick Paeth’s heels, but Bob Cherry, OSC, turned on a bolting finish to edge him and just lose to Paeth in one of the day's hottest races. Hurdler Wright had a repeat performance of his WSC’s run, as the end of the low hurdles was a, photo-finish; Idaho’s Lake stum bled several yards from the finish, lunged his hand and shoulder across as Wyn pulled ahead. Offi cials gave Lake second and Wright third. Deinse was Oregon’s “tough luck” boy in the pole vault as he just missed 12’ 6” and tied with four other vaulters for third and fourth at 12 feet. Washington’s Don Wold and WSC’s Clem Eischen staged the closest and most exciting run of the day in their mile dual. Wold trailed Eischen for three laps, edged closer on the final quarter and matched stride for stride on the final curve with the lanky Cougar runner. Hitting the stretch, both runners opened up with all they had and ran neck and neck for 75 yeards. Little Wold finally inched ahead as the Wash ington fans rose and screamed the little boy on. The last 25 yards had Wold slow ly gaining ground and as they hit the finish, it was Wold by two feet! The time was notable, 4:19, fastest in the conference for the season!
