WSC Drubs Idaho to Clinch ND Flag |DUCK TRACKS By GLENN GILLESPIE Emerald Sports Writer SC Trojans Tops in CIBA With Fourth Crown in Row It looks like Bovard field, home of the Southern California Trojans, will be the scene of the Northern Division-CIBA base ball playoffs scheduled May 27 and 28. Coach Sam Berry’s ball club has virtually cinched the California league pennant, and will probably defend last year’s coast title against the Washington State Cougars. SANTA CLARA and UCLA are fighting for the runner-up Jerry Lillie to Sign As Aiken's Helper SALEM, May 21 (AP)—Jerry Lillie, for two years athletic di rector and football coach at Wil lianiette University, has been re leased from his contract at his own request, President G. Her bert Smith of Willamette an nounced last night. Although Lillie was not avail able for comment, it is known here that he has been conferring with University of Oregon offi cials this week and that he will now sign on as assistant to Duck Football Coach Jim Aiken. spot this weekend, but SC, with a 20-game win string behind them, seems to be the class of the CIBA for the fourth year in a row. That four crowns in four years mark is quite a record down there . . . for the first time in CIBA his tory, etc., etc. Since the beginning of the 16 game ND schedule, Oregon has been the only team to equal this four-four feat, taking titles in 1941, ’42, ’43, and ’46. No schedule was played in 1944 or ’45 because of the war. Bad weather forced the cancella tion of yesterday’s Oregon-OSC baseball gamet with a double head er set today at 1 p. m. on Howe neia. THIS WAS written before the re sults of Washing-ton State’s game with Idaho were in, but a single vic tory is all that Buck Bailey and his Cougars need to claim ND laur els for the third year running. Give Don Kirsch’s Ducks a shot at another possible record—that of finishing in second spot for three straight years. Quite a pre-season crowd—ap proximately 5500 — greeted Kip Taylor and his 1949 Oregon State football team last Tuesday, for the spring intrasquad football game. WE WONDER if that many fans will be on hand next Saturday when Oregon’s spring gridders put on their show? The athletic department is do ing its part, with free seats to the season ticket buyers, but many students will undoubtedly be tak ing a pre-final break with a trip home that weekend. A few may stay over until Saturday, since Monday- classes won’t he held be cause of Memorial day. Satur day’s preview will be a good foot ball show for sure, and should get plenty tof support. We’re still anxious to see who 11 he doing the quarterbacking for the Webfoots next fall. Jim Aiken isn’t sure of a choice between Earl Stel le, Jim Calderwood, or Joe Tom, and all three have been doing well in spring drills. THE JOB of replacing Norm Van Brocklin is no small one. The man who takes over will have the boom boom tradition of last year’s Van Brocklin build-up ringing in his ears, and comparisons and evalua tions will be made. If Tom, a smooth ball handler and quick with the foot work, could add a few inches and pounds somehow, he’d probably get the call. The little Hawaiian is accurate on his passes up to 40 or 50 yards, and it’s a pleasure to watch him work on those hand offs and pitchouts. Aiken may work out a three-way division for offensive QB chores, but one of the three is likely to prove himself before the season’s over.
