Webfoot Cindermen Down Washington Huskies, 70-61 Final Mile Relay Gives Oregon Victory Margin Oregon’s double barreled sprint attack of Davey Henthorne and Al Bullier captured first and second places in the 100-yard dash, the JZ20, and spearheaded the mile re lay as they led the VVebfoots to a 70-61 dual meet victory over the Washington Huskies in Seattle Saturday. The Ducks built up an early lead which stretched to 20 points before the charges of Coach Hec Edmundson came to life and forced the running of the relay by cutting their command to a scanty four points. In the relay, Henthorne made up a five yard deficit to edge out Washington's ace sprinter Jack Burney at the wire by about one yard. The Webfoot relay squad was clocked at 3:21.7, just .2 sec onds from an all-stadium record. The invading Webfoots showed definite improvement in their depth men as they combined eight firsts, seven seconds, four thirds and the relay for their 70 point total. They swept the 100-yard dash and the discus. Duck trackmen turning in im pressive marks besides Hen thorne and Bullier were Woodley Eewis, who leaped 23 feet 5 inch es, Bob Anderson, who put the shot 46 feet 2 /2 inches, Walt Mc Clure, who won the 880 in 1:56 flat, and eorgGe Rasmussen, who added 2 inches to his own pole vault record by vaulting 18 feet inches.
