Beavers Win Relays Again
By Dave Taylor
Only a baton pass which was
ruled illegal kept Oregon’s thin
clads from a tie in the Oregon-OSC
relays held Saturday in Corvallis,
as the Webfoots went down to de
feat 5-3.
IN THE DISPUTED RACE, the
880 yard relay, which the Ducks
won by at least 15 yards, the field
judges ruled that Jack Country
man, Duck leadoff man, handed the
stick to teammate Sullivan beyond
the specified 10 yard area thus
banding the event and the meet to
Grant (Doc) Swan’s Beavers fot
the eleventh consecutive year.
I ittle Al Bullier, smooth striding
sophomore, was the Individual
Duck hero of the afternoon as lu
reared around the oval m the final
Inp of the mile relay making up a
«ve yard deficit and winning the
match with a photo finish as he
,u.sed out Orangeman Al Ueomud
it'was also Bullier’s torrid third
tap after the faculty Count^man
t< -Sullivan pass m tin - -
would have wrapped up the™*
t( r the Webfoots. He outpaced tin
Al Leonard to give Dave,
Henthorne a ten yard advanta c
jjoing into the stretch against Bca
v v anchorman, Jerry Cole.
HENTHOKNE ALSO Shared the
Oregon limelight with Bulker when
outdistanced Cole to the string
tv seven yards in the -HO yard
match after Woodley Lewis, Bot
\ eber, and Jack Doyle had kept the
mee even-steven until the final
,ok pass. The Ducks winning time
to,- this event was -13.3 seconds, ex
ec edingly fine for an early season
meet.
[n the shot put relay, the only
other Duck victory. Lou Robinson s
m feet 2% inch heave topped the
competition as Bowerman’s lade
chalked up a 172 feet 7', inch total
over Oregon State’s 108 feet 7 inch
es Duane Eby was high for the Or
ange with a 43 feet 10 inch toss to
best Bob Anderson, at 43 feet 3 inch
es.
Another tough break for the
VVebfoots came in the shuttle hur
dle relay when big Boh Anderson,
running in the anchor slot for the
Ducks, tripped on the fifth hurdle
and fell into the sixth of the nine
hurdle track. Up till the time of the
accident, Anderson and State hurd
ler Earl Turner had crossed the
bars at the same time.
Coach Bowerman's charge prov
ed no match for the Orange dis
lancemen as the Beaver walked
off with the two mile and four mile
events easily.
The four mile was switched to a
straight One mile race with the
Swan men capturing the first four
places as only one Duck, Hugh
Stapleton, finished the complete
distance.
TWO SPA HKl.INti BEAVEK
performances were turned in Dy
Sprinter Joe Fisher and High
Jumper Ken Elliot. Fisher practi
cally won the two mile relay single
handed as he burned up the cinders
of Bell field for 880 yards.
Elliott turned the high jump in
to a one man show as he leaped G
feet 2 inches to lead his team to a
23 foot 8 inch total. He later went 6
feet 4 inches in a practice exhibi
tion.
