I DUCK TRACKS By FRED TAILOR Co-Sports Editor Oregon s tennis team will make its last home appearance of ‘ the season tomorrow against the Oregon State netters. But, although the Ducks have improved over their early perform * anceSj there is not much hope for a victory over the Beavers, who currently hold down second place in Northern Divisjpn . tennis standings. The Beavers made an unexpectedly strong showing against the powerful University of Washington squad . last weekend, losing only 4-3. It was the first time since 1946 that Washington tennis team had not won by 7-0 over ND foes. But the Huskies’ number one man, left-hander Jim Brink, ' battered down State’s first courtman, Hugh Findley, 6-2. 6-2. W hen Oregon played Washington in Seattle, Saal Lesser " then Duck number one man, met Brink in the top match. Al though Lesser says he played the best game of his life, the •* powerful Husky defeated him 6-2, 6-0. The only real competi tion the top two Washington players, Brink and Jack Lowe. ( gTt is from their own teammates. The Seattle team is a cinch to take the championships at the Northern Division meet at Pull man May 21 and 22, for their ninth consecutive title. Only once since 1934 has Washington finished out of first place. Prep Records May Fall I here is a good chance that four state prep records will be broken at Corvallis today and Saturday during the annual Ore gon state high school track meet. About 350 harriers will be on hand for the big event, 225 from “A” high schools, and the rest - from “B ’ schools. Four of the 1947 champs will be back to de fend their titles—Mervin Brock of Washington high, winner , °f the 100 and 220 dashes; Charles Missfeldt, Milwaukie jave lin champ; high jump winner Les Porter from Cottage Grove; and Dave Earle, of Seaside, two-time discus champ. If the weather will just dry up a bit now, and give the boys some thing solid to run on, some outstanding times may be recorded. " Because behind the leaders in every event are a number of lads who have turned in qualifying times just as good as theirs, or ~ better. The Duckling baseball squad’s scheduled battle with the Washington High Colonials tomorrow has been cancelled, because the city squad has to make up games in its prep league schedule fouled up by the rainy weather . . . The Frosh track team has set a meet for Tuesday afternoon with Vanport college runners. The freshman squad has several promising performers, but not much depth. - Cal Won't Defend National Title California’s hopes of producing another Southern Division • baseball winner to defend its National Collegiate championship are over for this year. In the short space of 10 days the Bears , dropped from league leaders to also-rans, by losing four straight games. The uncrowned king of the South now is Southern Cal ifornia. The University of Cal squad simply ran out of luck. After last year’s pennant season they lost three of four top __ hurlers, and they won seven games this spring on good jobs by • relief pitchers. Then the roof fell in, and the joy ride was over. , Booster boys . . . Anyone interested in attending a testimon ial dinner for Oregon State’s five varsity coaches can get tick ets for only 2.75 a plate. Lon Stiner, Slats Gill, Ralph Coleman, Doc Swan, and Jim Dixon, all with ten years of service at Cor vallis, are to be honored ... A Spokane alumni group, the ' Cougar Quarterbacks, have started at “Rose Bowl in 1950’’ for WSC campaign, to get Washington State back into the ' grid picture on the coast. They got into the right frame of mind recently by looking at movies of WSC beating Brown •University in 1916 in the Pasadena classic . . . Swan Cuts Loose Again A California has a terrific freshman swimmer in Waldo Cook, the captain of the frosh squad. Cook recently set a new pool rec * ord in the 50-yard breast stroke, to add to his records in the 440, and 220. He has tied the 150 and 300-yard-medley records. Barometer sports editor Bob Swan cut loose with one of his characteristic blow-offs Tuesday, this time because * Oregon allegedly didn’t put a fight in the track meet last week, which the Ducks dropped 83-48. He also sneers be • cause the Eugene institution doesn’t have a wrestling or boxing team, like the big, strong farm boys up at Corvallis. “Either Oregon will win, or put up a good fight, or they just give up.” the lad cries. “Year after year the Beavers are * out there giving the old try.” Well, well, pin a brownie but ton on us. Dillard Nears Record - CLEVELAND, May 11—(UP)— . Hurryin’ Harrison Dillard of Bald win-Wallace college, the world’s "fastest hurdler, today chalked up ■ three more running victories leav ing him one short of tracks’ all ^jjme record of 65 straight wins set by Greg Rice of Notre Dame. Dillard first breezed the 100 yard dash in 9.8 seconds. In the next event, he equalled his own B-W stadium record of 14.1 sec ond's for the 120-yard high hurdles. His third victory was in the 220 yard dash in which his time was 21.2 seconds. UO Golfers Slate OSC Match Scheduled For Beaver Course Oregon’s golf team, currently residing in second place in the Northern division standings, will meet the Oregon State fairways squad in a return match tomorrow on the Corvallis course. It will be the last match for the Webfoot squad before the North ern division championships, set for May 22 on the Eugene Country Club fairways. The Eugene team will play host to all the schools of the division for the matches. The Webfoots played blistering golf against the Beaver squad in the first match over the local course, winning 20-7, as three Duck strokers shot under-par golf. Dom Provost registered a 67, five strokes under par, while his Cor vallis opponent Dan Torrey was having trouble, hitting only a 76. Bruce Fisher was right behind Provost in that match, scoring a 69, which easily downed faltering Bob Huey, who hit 80. Lou Stafford was the third Ore gon golfer to break par that after noon, touring the 18 holes in 70 strokes. This was'just good enough to nose out the State number one man, Ralph Dichter, who carded a 71. Protested Games On Ticket Monday The intramural board decided yesterday that the protested games between Sigma Nu and Delta Tau Delta, and between the Legal Eagles and Campbell club will be played off Monday. The games will be resumed at the point where they ended and con tinue until a full seven-inning game has been finished. Sigma Nu will start out in the hole in the last half of the sixth inning. One batter had already struck out with none on in Tues day’s game and a pinch hitter was down on the score sheet for Johnny McBee, which will de prive Sigma Nu of the man who has pitched every game for them this year. The Campbell club-Legal Ea gles game will start in the top of the fifth, as four innings had been played when the game was called.

Game time is 8 p.m. It will be the first Northern Division baseball game ever to be played at night, but Coach Kirsch is expecting no special problems for his batters. Almost every man on the squad has performed under the arcs at some time, with good results. DeWayne Johnson will probably draw the opening mound role for the Ducks. Johnson is the leading Oregon hurler, with three victories against no defeats, with one a one-hitter, but all of the Webfoot throw ers have had at least a week’s rest. This will be the first of the four-game series with the Beavers. The second game is scheduled for Monday afternoon at Corvallis. The squads will meet again Friday, May 21 at Eugene, and close the season May 22 at Corvallis. ____ HI9 markets i make the manufacture of moments and children’s wear A NATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT The scope and vitality of the women’s and child* ■ « -V ren’s wear industries is illustrated by the fact that ' ■*> jm*~**» ' w i the following nineteen cities of the United States • rtf****** *S are now important production centers for this type of merchandise... of which New York City is p •«*«** the major producer: ATLANTA BALTIMORE BOSTON CHICAGO CINCINNATI 'CLEVELAND DALLAS KANSAS CITY LOS ANGELES MIAMI MILWAUKEE NEW YORK CITY PHILADELPHIA PORTLAND, ORE.
