In Workouts
Developments on the Orego^
football front Wednesday after
noon were wrapped around a
grueling two-hour workout on the
University practice lot,
FIELD GENERAL Jim Aiken’s
only comment after the scrum
was that the squad was shaping
up slowly.
However, for a man who is out
to replace Norm Van Broeklin,
Coach AlUen looked unusually
pteased.
Earl Stelle's continued fine per
formance is in part responsible for
the complete lack of pessimism.
A FAIR of tackles, Dick Hud
son and Harold Simmons, also
caught the coach's eye. Simmons,
one of the freshmen on the squad,
seems to be headed for big things.
Hudson, who played service hall
with the El Toro Marines, showed
lots of promise on defense.
Transfer tackle Gus Knicker
ehm, and Freshman Jerry Moshof
sky, also a tackle, drew special at
tention for their respective per
formances.
Track Assistant Needed
Track Manager Tom Ragsdale
has requested that anyone inter
ested in being an assistant tracl
manager contact either him or
Coach Bill Bowerman in the ath
letic office in McArthur court.
McClure, Henthorne
Star in Final Warmups
Coach Bill Bowerman sent his Varsity and Frosh charges
through their last rough workout yesterday before the Oregon
State Relays this Saturday in Corvallis.
The emphasis was on the track events since the only field
competition will be the shot put and high jump. Track events
were run only three-quarter distance during the practice session
with several excellent times being clocked.

tennis teams will be fielded this

former Venture Junior college
athletic director. Opening date of a
nine-game schedule for the Year

leading distance man, almost
kicked over the dope bucket as
he roared around the track to
force Olympic competitor Jack
Hutchins into a photo finish in
the 660 yard dash.
After training the little Cana
dian Freshman for two laps, Mc
Clure pushed into the lead only to
be edged out by a stride at the wire.
Hutchins’ winning time was
clocked at 1:24.3 which means both
he and McClure turned in topflight
performances for this eaily in the
season.
DAVEY HENTHOKNK and Var
sity teammate A1 Bullier shot over
the cinders in the abbreviated 100
yard dash.
They turned in the amazing times
of 7.4 and 7.5 seconds respectively.
With Henthorne and Bullier to
carry the mail, Coach Bowerman’s
main strength in the Corvallis
meet should be the 440 yard relay.
PHIL, JONES, stylish high-fly
ing frosh from Bend, also chalked
up a commendable mark in the 75
yard run at 8 seconds flat.
Jack Countryman, another fast
developing distance man, copped
the top spot in the 330 yard event
in 37.(1 seconds.
Dennis Sullivan and Bob Cough- ■
lin placed second and third closely
behind the flying heels of Country
man.

7 Errors as Oregon
Drives out 16 Hits
The Oregon baseball team
rolled to its second victory in as
many days yesterday, unleas
ing a 16-hit barrage to wallop
Pacific university 11-4 on lower
Howe field.
On the darker side of the
picture was the shoddy fielding' dis
play turned in by the Duck dia
monders who committed seven bob
bles during the course of the after
noon. The losers also made seven
errors.
SI1) MUXS, portly red-head,
went the first seven innings for the
Webfoots, showing midseason form
as he allowed only three hits, and
two earned runs, to gain for the
win. Hal Zurcher finished on the hill
for Oregon.
After jumping into a two-run
lead in the second inning on a single
by Don Kimball, two-bagger by
Don Dibble, and another one-baser
by Mills, the Ducks were never
headed.
They added singletons in the
third and fourth innings, five in the
sixth, and one tally in each the
