' DUCK TRACKS By WALLY HUNTER Assistant Sports Editor By WALLY HUNTER Baseball fans who remember Wellington “Wimpv" Ouinn will be glad to hear that the ex-Oregon star though not in the best of health at present is in the best of spirits. Coach Hobby -H ooson recently received a letter from Quinn stating that he is operating a ranch and farm in California, and Tndugn still ailing is doing w ell. Quinn, who is married and has two children, told Hobby in the letter that he is at present „ •much happier than he ever was in baseball. He also told Hobson that because of t h e mention he received in L. H. Gregory’s “Sports Gossip’’ that he had received several letters from Bill Hayward old iriends. Wimpy ’ was high in his praise of Gregory who, he said, is . . one of the few sports writers to attain a ranking position and yet not take advantage of athletes by ‘riding’ them.” And a very nice compliment that is. It' any of Quinn’s friends care to drop him a line he can be reached at the following address: Mr. Wellington Quinn, 119 Entrada Road, Topanga, California. Clinic Goes Into Second Day Coach Jim Aiken's Coaching Clinic goes into the second session today, and if advance preparations are any indication of success i{. should work out very well. Included in the little things done for the prep mentors was the formation of a small notebook, dine in appropriate Lemon-vellow and Green colors ■which is adequate enough for note-taking, and includes a start ing lineup for the intrasquad game plus a 1947 Oregon football schedule. ^ Scoring totals for the Oregon track team after four meets, finds Wyn Wright the chief point-getter for Colonel Bill Hayward’s Ducks. Wright has a total of 53 points. Freshman Dave Henthorne takes over the No. 2 spot with 47y2 and George Rasmussen comes in third with 25. Following then in order are: Stu Norene, with 21 Ra; Jim Pickens, 20j4; Jake Leicht, 19J4; Lou Robinson, with 18 points; and Chuck Elliott, with 12 points. This list does not include all men who have placed in meets thus far this season, but only the leaders who have placed in the Idaho. Portland Willamette, Washington State and Oregon State meets. Ducks Have Sprinters In the Northern Division track meet May 31 the Web foot runners should make a pretty fair showing if their past performances are any indication. Should Jake Leicht, Wally Still, and Carl Maxey all be ready to go by then the Ducks could make things mighty tough for outsiders to get a look-in on the 100 and 220. Henthorne, who has taken a turn in the dashes will probably do the quarter mile. Shooting for their seventh straight win this season will be defending ND champion high jumper Bill Beifuss, pole-vaulter George Rasmussen, and the aforementioned Henthorne. Bill Chaplain in the WSC Evergreen has the following to say, “. . . It seems that the Oregon State Beavers are worried. The state is caused by none other than our neighbors the Vandals. The Idaho school, it appears, is getting in the hair of the Beavers. First it was the undefeated and league-leading Beaver basketball squad that fell before the cellar-dwelling Vandals. This spring the Vandals sent the OSC trackmen home with an unexpected defeat; then came the Orange base ball team only to go home from Moscow with the same a"l‘ tude that Napoleon had when he left Moscow. Now the Bea vers are already looking forward to the coming grid season and wondering if the \ andals will do it again. . . . This Idaho jinx over OSC though pronounced this year is really nothing new. It wasn't very many years ago that the Vandal football team spoiled a couple of Bell field openers for the Beavers by waxing the favored Beavers. Newland Goes to Medford The University of Texas Longhorns, who open the '47 grid season for the Webfoots at Portland September 27 have scheduled a game with Texas Tech a week previous * to the Webfoot battle. . . . Ex-Duck track and basketball Bob Newland is returning to his old stomping grounds In Medford. He is to take a coaching jcb in the Medford school system.
