Oregon, OSC Slate Two Here Today Emerald DopesterSees Close Webfoot Win Today in Seattle Ducks Liked OverCougar In ND Meet By DAVE TAYLOR Going out on a limb against the popular choice of most sports writers in the northwest, we pick the Oregon trackmen to pull a Fonder. Truman, or a Washington Senator upset to day in Seattle, by dumping the Washington State Cougars 52 4(> to capture the Northern Di vision track championship, Washington, Oregon State, Mon tana, and Idaho are figured to fol low the leaders in that order, with 28, 24, 9, and 3 points respectively. IN TAKING their first ND track bunting since 1934, Coach Bill Bow erman’s Ducks should get firsts in the 100, 220, pole vault, broad jump, javelin, and mile relay, for the bulk of the points. The Cougars follow right on Webfoot tail feathers, as they are Expected to rack up five blue rib bons in the 440, both hurdle events, 880, and the shot put. This is caluculated with the ail ing Joe Nebolon taking the 440 yard dash, but lacking the depth to bring home a mile relay victory for Coach Jack Mooberry. Nebolon has been out of competition for the past month because of a pulled leg mus cle. TOP INDIVIDUAL, athlete en tered today is Oregon’s George Rasmussen, Northern Division, Pa cific Coast Conference, and NCAA j>olo vault king. His 14-foot, 6-inch leap at the Klamath Falls Invita tional is the best outdoors vault made by a PCC undergraduate since 1941. Behind Rasmussen, the Ducks have Don Firkins, who is easily the second best among ND pole riders, and Lloyd Ilickok, who consistently goes up to 18 feet. With this comfortable bulge in the vault, Bowerman can look to sprinters Dave Henthorne and A1 Bu’.lier, javelin tosser Lou Robin son, and broad jumper Woodley Lewis to give him other first and second place points.

Rain caused postponement of the Corvallis game yesterday and threw the “Civil War’’ series off schedule, forcing a twin- „ attraction this afternoon. DON KIRSCH’S second place Ducks need at least a split in order to insure themselves of their third straight second place ND finish. A brace of defeats this afternoon would send Ral ph Coleman's Beavers riding into the runner-up slot by a one-half game margin. If, however, the Ducks do the double defeating', then it still wbuld not change their status in the standings, for Washington State has already nailed down the pennant. Mel Krause will toe the hill for the Webfoots today in the curtain raiser. Just who will go in for the finale depends on how many pitch ers Kirsch uses in the first game. THE DUCK coach stated that he does not plan to hold anyone hack for the second tilt and will use as many hurlers as needed in the open er. Coleman has not announced his choice for today’s clambakes, but it is expected that Rick Erickson and Chuck Suavain will handle the better part of the chores. Oregon State will be handicap ped to some extent by the fact that Sophomore Shortstop Gene Tansel li may have to sit this one out be cause of an injured wrist. IN SUCH an event, Harry Rich ards will move over from second base to short while A1 Edwards will take over Richards’ old post. Today’s games are particularly interesting from an individual standpoint in that they will bring together three of the division’s leading swatsmiths. Frank Roe landt, OSC catcher, is pacing the loop with a remarkable .520 aver age while Johnny Kovenz and A1 Cohen are both in the .400 brack- - ets. Ducklings Lose Tennis Go, 4-3 The undefeated Klamath Falls Pelicans came through with a nar row 4-3 victory yesterday over the . Oregon Frosh tennis team in a match played on the local courts. ' A split in the doubles contests, ‘ added to three singles triumphs, provided the Pelicans with their winning margin. Duckling singles winners were Tom MacDonald, who blanked . Bruce Dingier, 6-0, 6-0, and John Kerns, who came from behind to post a 5-7, 7-5, 6-4 decision over Everett Karnes. For the southeners, Bob Petzolt notched a 6-2, 6-1 win over Joe Viel big; Ron Lowell tripped Gerald Berreman, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4; and Wayne Guyer drubbed Martin Meadows by scores of 6-2 and 6-4. In doubles competition, the Frosh win was turned in by MacDonald and Kerns, who subdued Karnes and Dingier by a 6-0, 6-2 count. - However, Klamath Falls cinched its win when Lowell and Petzolt . pulled out a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 win over Berreman and Vielbig.
