Second ND Spot
At Stake Saturday
In O-OSC Clash
By DAVE TAYLOR
Second place in the Northern Division dual meet standings
will he the prize booty at stake when Coach Bill Bowerman's
1 Hick harriers clash with the Oregon State Beavers Saturday on
Hayward field.
The Web foots are currently holding the runner-up spot be
hind Washington State as a result of their 70-61 triumph over
the Huskies in Seattle last week. The Ducks have a season record
of two victories and one defeat while the Cougars have swept all
four of their contests. Oregon
State, Washington, and Idaho
are lodged in the celler with one
•victory and two defeats each.
For the second straight week,
the Ducks will have to depend
upon their depth men to come
up with the win. Both squads
are strong in some events, but
strength is practically non-existent
in others.
BEAVER COACH Grant (Doc)
Swan will have almost an open field
with sure firsts in the long distan
ces with Dick Petterson, veteran
tniler, and George Fullerton, soph
omore two miler, yet undefeated in
competition this spring.
Len Rinearson, OSC discus
man, will be hard pressed to keep
bis fop rung among ND platter
tosser when he meets Kay Heid
enrich and Bob Anderson of the
Ducks. The lanky Beaver has the
toss of the year so far with 149
feet 8 i/2 inches, but is closely fol
lowed by Heidenrieh with 144 feet
(i inches.
Another event where the compe
tition will be hotly contested is in
the broad jump, with Woodley Lew
in and Beaver Bob Laidlaw fighting
for first place. Lewis' leaps have
been over Laidlaw’s best perfor
mance this year, but the Beaver
captain went 24 feet 2 inches in the
Northern Division meet last May.
Dewis' top jump is 23 feet 5 inches.

lies in the high jump and the dis
tances.
Other events where the oppos
ing teams will be fighting for
the top spot are the 880 with
Walt McClure and Stater Jack
Boiler neck and neck, and the
hurdles as Oregon’s Jack Doyle
and the Beavers’ Jerry Cole fight
it out.
Cole, also one of Swan’s leading
sprinters, missed the Washington
State meet because of a pulled leg
muscle, but is figured to be back in
good form for Saturday’s match.
To Face Laidlaw
WOODLEY LEWIS, Oregon’s
top broad jumper, will take time
out from spring football drills to
do his stuff in Saturday’s Ore

Field. Lewis will face Beaver Bob
Laidlaw in one of the afternoon’s
top duels.

Tt looks like Coach Sam Berry’s USC Trojans are pulling a re
peat in the California Intercollegiate Baseball Association pen
nant race. With a won-lost record of 8-2, SC looks like a good bet
to meet the Northern Division champion May 27 and 26 at Los
Angeles.
The UCLA Bruins are in second spot with six wins and four
losses, followed by Santa Clara. 6-5, and Stanford with five and
five.
Pacific Coast Conference representatives in the CIBA have
monopolized collegiate base
ball for the past two seasons.
In 1947, the California Bears
defeated Washington State
for the PCC title and then
went to the finals to whip
Yale for the NCAA champ
ionship.
USC did the same thing last year,
downing YVSC 7-5 and 6-3 and go
ing on to defeat Yale two-out-of
tliree in the NCAA finals . . .
IMI> YOU HE Alt West coast
athletic circles buzzing Wednes
day? You didn't? Well, we wonder
if anyone heard it, but according
to an INS dispatch from Los Ange
les, such buzzing occurred “over
tlie charge of professionalism in
college football leveled by Dr. Rob
ert Gordon Sprout, piesident of the
University of California.”
Speaking: at Riverside, Cal.,
t lie Cal prexy termed modern
collegiate football “high power
ed,” and “semi - professional,"
hoping that future brands of Bear
football wouldn’t follow the pat
tern set by other members of the
PCC.
Evidently, Dr. Sprout longs for
the good days when “every man
was a student playing at athletics,
and not an athlete playing at his
studies."
We have to wonder what Dr.
Sproul expects at his fair school.
Such “semi-professionalism” is
the rule rather than exception at
most big schools, and is permit
ted under the sanity code.
Fines and suspension from the
NCAA result from code violations,
and the flashy halfbacks keep com
ing in droves. Many probably share
Dr. Sprouts views on the subject,
but fewotake it upon themselves to
say or do anything about it.
DESPITE ALL, the buzzing, few
if any changes will be made in the
collegiate football setup, and near
ly everybody will stay happy—es
pecially the athletes.
Along- the same line is a story
from Atlanta, Ga., telling of a
meeting planned for May 28 to
discuss amendments to the NC
AA sanity code, which would be
submitted to NCAA offieals.
The Southeastern, Southern, and
Southwest conferences will be rep
resented at the meeting, which will
be an effort “to get a more work
able setup which all schools could'
abide by . . .
ATHLETIC facilities at Oregon
State get a big boost next fall with
the new $1,800,000 Gill basketball
pavillion, and now it looks like
plans are underway to replace an
other campus oldtimer, Bell field.
The state board of higher edu
cation recently authorized hiring
of an engineering firm to study
the Bell field site, to determine
final location of the new stadium.
