Oreaon Nine Host to Beavers Tonight Pickens Makes Journey To Finals With Harriers By BOB REINHART Mentor John Warren and ten varsity thinclads left Eugene yes terday noon for Missoula, Montana, and the Northern Division track and field finals to be held there Saturday. Don Dickens who was in doubt of making the trip, accompanied the squad and will compete in the broad jump. Pickens injured his arm while pole vaulting in the Washington meet three weeks ago, and has been sidelined since that time. However, the swelling in his arm has disappeared, and with the aid of a tightly taped elbow, he will tie ready to broad jump Saturday. Oregon’s chances depend heavily on the physical condition of Sprint er Davey Henthorne, defending champion in the century and 220. Henthorne pulled a muscle during the initial part of the season, and has not run since the Washington State meet, a month ago. In the past two weeks, the sprinter has shown that he has overcome the injury, and should be in top shape for the Northern Division finals. NI> Champs Go The team includes three other defending Northern Division titlists m George Rasmussen, Ray Heiden rich and Lou Robinson. Rasmussen is unbeaten this year in the pole vault, as is Robinson in his spe Bear Grid Work Closed With Fray Berkeley, Calif., May 20—(UP) —Coach Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf closed out spring football training at the University of California to day with a scrimmage under game conditions. The Blue team defeated the Whites, 25 to 13. Main ground gainers for the Blues were halfbacks Staten Web ster and Pat Martin. Webster scored twice, while Martin chalked up several lengthy gains. Jackie Jensen, the Bears' all coast fullback, set up the first White touchdown when he galloped 09 yards on an end sweep to the Blue 20. Bill Montaigne plowed over for the score. cialty, the javelin. Kay Heidenrich has not fared as well as the others as he has failed to cop a blue rib bon this spring. Rasmussen will also compete in the high jump, and should place in the event. He has lost only one meet this year, that going to defending champ, Ken El liot of Oregon State. Robinson, like Rasmussen, is unbeaten, and is fa vored to retain his crown in the javelin shot for the second straight year. He will also complete in the shot put. The remaining members of the squad—Jack Doyle in the hurdles; Bob Weber in the sprints with Hen thorne; Pete Mundle, mile; Skiles Hoffman, and Merce Brown in the broad jump are all counted heavily upon to bring in points for the Webfoots. Tickets on Sale Tickets for the Saturday intra squad football game will be on sale until noon Saturday at the athletic ticket office in McArthur court. Students will bo admitted on their student body cards, and veterans’ wives will be admitted at student prices. Adult tickets are 60 cents, and children’s are 25 cents. Ducklings Travel for * Three Frays With a record of five wins against three defeats, the Univer sity of Oregon’s freshman baseball team heads into their roughest weekend of the season, engaging the Linfield junior varsity nine at McMinnville this afternoon, and then sweeping directly into Port land where they are scheduled to meet Vanport college in a double header tomorrow. In their first meeting, the Duck lings waxed Linfield 10 to 2, as ev eryone on the ball club found his batting eye. The Vanport college diamond dusters knocked off the Oregon frosh 2 to 1, and 9 to 6, in the Ducklings’ opening games of the season on lower Howe field. The return twin bill will be at the Vanport lot in Portland. Starting battery for today’s tus sle with Linfield will be Bob Pal mer on the mound and Eddie Artz’t behind the plate, according to Coach Barney Koch, who ran his squad through light throwing and base running drills here yesterday afternoon. Big Jim Hanns and Bill Schoonover are likely starters against Vanport, with Ken Bennett getting the backstop nomination. Duck Golfers Battle for Posts As ND Championships Loom Preparations for the Northern Division golf championship Sat urday are well under way. The Eu gene Country club is in shape for the tournament and players are preparing themselves and their equipment. The competing teams are ex pected to arrive today for warm ing-up practice on the newly lengthened fairways. Montana’s squad came Thursday bringing a four-man team. The new ruling which allows six men to play had not been explained to them and they will be short-handed for the tourney. Meanwhile Oregon’s divoteers have been qualifying for team posi tions.

WALDERS Associated Service lltli and Hilyard pleted their required 72 holes, but it is expected that the others will be finished today. Scores completed include: Rod Taylor, 75-71-75-71 for 292; Bruce Fischer, 75-75-70-74 for 294; and Jim Donahue, 74-75-77-74 for 300. Others who have played three rounds or less are: John Prince, 69- 70-74; A1 Riebel, 67-74-75; A1 Crosbie, 74-73-79; Dom Provost, 70- 77; and Lou Stafford, 72-68 Riebel’s 67 is low so far but Staf ford’s 68 was shot from the long er tees, making it more valid. Coach Sid Milligan has reserved for himself the right to pick his team regardless of qualifying scores. His most probable line-up would include Stafford, Prince, Taylor, and Fischer. Riebel and Crosbie will be toss-ups for anoth er position while Provost, tempor arily doubtful because of an arm infection, will be a sure starter if he is able.

Game time will be 8:15. In the first night game ever played in the Northern Division history last Saturday, the Staters soundly walloped the Ducks 7 to 1. But the Ducks, behind the steady pitching of Whitey Lokan, bounced back Monday to defeat the Beavers by one run, 3 to 2. Coach Don Kirsch has four pitchers ready for action tonight. His choice of the one man to go to the hill to stop the Beavers will be made just prior to game time. Kirsch named Whitey Lokan, Lef ty “Swede” Johnson, Homer Brobst, and Dick DeBernardi as the four chuckers he would cnose from. Same Line-up The rest of the Oregon line-up will be practically the same. Don Dibble, an outfielder, is still on the injured list and in all probability will not see action today. Dick Bar tie will handle the first base chores, Captain Walt Kirsch at second base, A1 Cohen on short, and either Johnny Kovenz or Don Kimball at third. Bill Burgher will be behind the plate, and in the outfield, Hal Zurcher will cover center, Pat Wohlers has the right field job, and either Norm Henwood or Ray Stratton will start in left field. Sauvain Due Chuck Sauvain is the likely mound starter for the Beavers. He topped the Ducks last Saturday on four hits and since the left hander has always been a jinx to the Duck hitters, his choice to start seems a natural. With a slim chance still remain ing for the Ducks to tie tne cou gars for first place, Oregon needs to win their last two games. Of course, the Bailey crew must split with Idaho this weekend to keep the Ducks in the running. Starting Line-ups Oregon Oregon State Bartle.lb Christensen Kirsch.2b. Richards Cohen.ss.
