Duck Harriers Vie With Idaho Today Rounding out a week of form-perfecting practice, the Oregon harriers tackle the Idaho Vandals in their initial Northern Divi sion competition this afternoon at 2 o’clock on Hayward field. Although Moscow has been clam-tight on information con cerning the Coach Stan Hiserman’s Idaho cindermen, the power laden Ducks should capture the meet by a comfortable 20 points. Since dual meet history between the two Universities is only three years old, numerous new rec ords will be racked up during the afternoon’s action. Headlining these probably will be the performance of Webfoot Pole Vaulter George Rasmussen who is practically assured of upping his 12 foot 9 mark set in 1947. "Ras” has fofcen a consistent 14 foot vaulter pmce track practice began early in B£arch. Another Duck almost certain of setting a new record is Woodley Lewis, Coach Bowerman’s leading lKoad jumper. The old record of 21 feet 3 V2 inches is held by Don Pick ens, Webfoot pole vaulter, when he was doubling for the Ducks in this event in 1947. Lewis has been leap ing over 22 feet in all practice meets. Other possible Duck record breakers are Lou Robinson in the javelin, Ray Heidenrich, Bob An derson, and Herb Nill in the dis cus, Dave Henthorne in the 100 and 2‘20-yard dash, and Walt Mc Clure in the 880-yard run. The Ducks’ main strength for this afternoon’s contest lies in the pole vault, broad jump, 100 and 220 vard dash, javelin, discus, and the h/gh hurdles. The low hurdles, the 880-yard run, the 440, and the shot put are the events where the Vandals could pull surprises, while the Webfoots have a dearth of material in the distances, the mile and two mile. The relay, final event of the day, is another question mark, but Bow erman has Henthorne and little Al ine Bullier for a potent nucleous while Hiserman's entries remained unnamed.

Kirschmen Face WSC Monday On the schedule it is billed as a baseball game, but it’s liable to be much more than that. The refer ence is to the contest set for Mon day at 3 o’clock on Howe field be tween Buck Bailey’s Washington State Cougars and Oregon, and fans are sure to get a full after noon’s entertainment. The dual attraction, of course, is Buck Bailey himself, Whose wierd, peculiar, funny, riotus, etc., etc. gyrations have created a maelstrom of fanfare year in and year out. In between time, Buck always manages to squeeze quite a bit of baseball out of his charges, so much so that in the past two years the Cougars have won as many North ern Division championships. Series Crucial For the Ducks, this two game series represents one of the most vi tal sets of the season. After a clean sweep over Idaho, Oregon is in good position right now, and how well they fare against the Cougars will determine whether they imrpove it or not. Pitcher Undecided Kirsch is undecided on hia start ing pitcher. Mel Krause is the ten tative starting hurler, but he had nine teeth pulled Thursday nad may not be able to go through with the assignment. Krause suffered a severe jaw in jury in intramural football last fall and it is believed that his present troubles trace back to this. The Cougars won their opener yesterday 9-2 from Washington. Linksmen Open Today Coach Sid Milligan's four-man Oregon golf squad tangles with Vic toria College today in a match at the Canadian school. This will be the YVebfoots’ opener this season, with the conference play scheduled to start April 22, against Idaho Vandals at Eugene. MILLIGAN, who is shy four reg ulars from last season, is in his third year as varsity golf coach at Oregon. His 1948 squad placed sec ond in the Northern Division, while the 1947 version of the Milligan men swept every dual match, and went on to the Northern Division crown. Milligan himself played on three Oregon championship teams in the late thirties. The high flying links quartet now encamped on Canadian soil is composed of Dwayne (Red) Omlid, John Eckstrom, Fred Zolezzi, and Dom Provost. Provost and John Prince were the only returning regulars from the 1948 squad who consistently shot par golf, but Prince wound up in sixth place in the recent 72-hole qualifying rounds. The Webfoot linksmen are slat ed to return to the Eugene camp us by auto after today’s encount er with the Victorians. Yearlings Capture Triangular Meet Over Rooks, OCE The Oregon frosh cindermen, copping eight blue ribbons ' and four seconds, walked off with the triangular relay meet at Hayward field yesterday as they defeated the Oregon State Rooks and Oregon College of Education. The final score was 52 for the frosh, 34 for the Staters, and 17 for OCE. Rook Jerry Doyle, who fell going over a hurdle, was the only casualty of the day. He was not badly hurt and will be out for practice Mpnday, according to Coach Grant (Doc) Swan. The Frosh team paid little heed to Coach Bill Bowerman’s predic tion of a “toss up’’ as they took the lead early in the meet and went on to more than equal the com bined score of their opponents. Standout for the day was Frosh Art Bachlund who turned in a four-minute 45-second mile to come from behind and win the three-mile relay. Oregon State, hampered by lack of numbers, failed to have a jave lin team and was forced to run some men in several events. Still they showed their talent by an nexing the high jump, pole vault, 880-yard, and medley relays, as | well as following close behind Ore gon in four other events. The thinclads from the Oregon College of education had trouble keeping up with the pace set by the other two schools, but man aged to get three seconds and eight thirds for their team. No marks were broken despite good weather conditions and an abundance of ex-prep stars. Summary: High jump—Won by Oregon State (McCafferty, Porter, Hun ter) 2—Oregon, 3—Oregon College of Education.
