DUCK TRACKS
Co-Sports Editor
By FRED TA'VLOR
Now that the Sigma Delta Chi sportsters have cut loose with
their idea of the man for the vacant coaching position and blown
off steam, a serious recomendation is in order on the same sub
ject. Last week it was noted here that Bill Bowerman, head
track coach at Medford high school, was a likely candidate for
the position if he could be interested in coming to Oregon. The
fine athletic set-up at Medford was given as one reason why
it might be difficult to lure the young mentor away from South
ern Oregon. But since that time it has been learned, on the
usual}- reliable authority, that Bowerman is very much interest
ed in the position here at the University, and could be hired.
This is a good chance for the athletic department to grab one
of the most promising young coaches in the state, and round
out the coaching staff.
His Recommendations Is His Record
Bowennan’s recomendation is his past record as a prep coach.
The Medford tracksters captured both the Hayward relays and
the state championships this spring, the former for the seventh
time since their start. Coach John Warren hasn’t been able to
devote his full attention to the trackmen here because of the
conflicting basketball duties. The two sports conflict especially
in the late winter months, when harriers should be starting their
workouts, under the watchful eyes of the coach who does not
have to be concerned with anything else at the same time. The
new coach would be head man in track, and have the title of as
sistant coach in football, and would handle the freshman grid
ders. And Bowerman is capable enough to handle both chores
with success.
An important item to remember is that with the Medford
man in the job not only would Oregon have a competant
coach, it would also have good contacts with the Southern
Oregon athletes. That section of the state has long been
fertile ground for good prep teams and athletic talent
scouts, and a few Oregon connections might divert the
flow of Oregon high school boys into California institu
tions. The next move is the athletic department’s.
This is the last Duck Tracks this writer will be pounding
out. Its been an interesting year in sports for the University
of Oregon, and the next one looks even better. From Jim
Aiken’s second place football team to Don Kirsch’s sec
ond place baseball team the Oregon athletes have always
been trying, and the future holds great promise for these
squads. Its worth staying around another year, just to
watch.

First off, we do not intend to sue
the Oregon Daily Mist for using
our material. It seems that about
all a person can get in such a suit
is enough for postage, so we won't
press charges.
Like its po.itical publisher, the
Mist drew fortu criticism from the
editor of the Emerald. That, of
course, was to be expected. How
ever the publisher was at first con
sidering hiring the Emerald editor
to put out the paper. The publish
er was very much impressed with
the Emerald editor’s fair, unbiased
editorials and his factual news
stories.
After the election, however, a
friend of the publisher, the Goose,
pointed out a few things. Among
others was that the election story
on the front page of Tuesday’s
Emerald contained some editorial
izing. This, in a news story is se
verely condemned by journalists.
There was also the mixup of pic
tures and names in the same is
sue, the two reports of weather
alongside of the masthead, and the
correct spelling of our name for the
first time in an Emerald editorial.
In previous editorials it had always
the editor claimed in an editorial
The Goose also discovered that
theh editor claimed in an editorial
that the USA placed candidates in
all the elective departments. The
front page of the same issue
showed the Junior class number
one representative spot went to
ASA and the number two position
went to ISA. Hmm, maybe the edi
tor reads between the lines.
Well, after all this information
was revealed to the publisher of
the Mist he decided that maybe he
didn’t do so bad by letting business
administration and liberal art stu
dents edit his paper. Of course, the
publisher admitted he lost a chance
to have a fair editor.
Needless to say, the editor and
reporters of the Mist were so hu
miliated by the revelations of all
their mistakes that they have left
the campus. They just couldn’t take
the unmerciful panning from the
Emerald editor.
We were pleased to see one Em
erald co-sports editor turn political
commentator. His analysis of the
political situation was very illum
inating to the proletariat. He no
doubt will be hired by the New
York Times as their analyst. Oh,
by the way, Jim Aiken is a mem
ber of ATO, and ATO is a national
fraternity.
One thing was learned from the
past political campaign by heads of
the parties. In the future they hope
to work out a big beer bust for all,
win, lose or draw. Sponsored by all
the parties the bust could be held
in a central location with a big
bonfire. Everyone would be happy
that way.
Today is the day everyone sings
swan songs if they are graduating.
We’ll be back again next year, so
won’t do any crooning.
Our sponsor, Carl Greve, jeweler
in Portland, asked us to point out
that he is not located on the cor
ner of Broadway and Morrison but
a few yards up.
. . . and for all your friends who
are getting married, there is noth
ing better than adding to their sil
ver, and Carl Greve has one of the
most complete lines of silver in
Portland.
See you at the Jantzen Beach
nicnic this summer if you are in
Portland. Until that time, enjoy
your summer and “Adios.”
