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.
