The University of Southern Cali
fornia’s Trojans should successfully
defend their Pacific Coast Confer
ence track and field championship
at Seattle Saturday afternoon, on
the basis of their performances so
far this season.

event on the meet program shows
a Trojan leading in four of the 15
events and a total of 37 USC marks
in the entire list.
Mel Patton’s 9.0 and 20.2 sec
onds in the 100 and 220 top the
list, as does John Montgomery’s
14-foot, 7 (4-inch pole vault, and
Jack Barnes’ 6-foot, 5-inch high
jump.
Although Stanford has men lead
ing in five events, they cannot ap
proach Trojan depth. The Indians
have multi-event man Gay Bryan
heading the compilations in two de
partments with a 25-foot, 4%-inch
broad jump and a 6-foot, 5-inch
high jump to tie this event with
SC's Barnes.
OTIS CHANDLER’S 56-foot, %
inch shot put, Frank Held's 231
foot, 5-inch javelin heave, and 3:
18,8 mile relay clocking are Stan
ford's other toppers.
UCLA, led by another two
event man, Craig Dixon, matches
tht‘ Trojans with leaders in tour
events. Dixon has run the high
hurdles in 13.9 seconds and the
lows in 23.5 seconds, both of
which are the best times made in
the country this year. Taylor
Lewis’ 170-foot, 5 '/8 -inch discus
throw and George Stanich’s (>
foot, 5-inch high jump are other
.Bruin conference leaders.
The only events not dominated by
these three squads are the flat rac
es from the 440 up through the tvvo
mile.

Slate has recorded a 47.9 clocking
in the quarter mile, while Cougar

Nation's Par-Shooters
Set for PGA Tourney
RICHMOND, Va. May 25—(^»)—
The PGA tournament—a golf mar
athon with more twists and loops
than a pretzel, begins this morning
on the elastic Hermitage course.
Cardinal Breaks
NL Fielding Mark
ST. LOUIS—May 25—t®—St.
Louis Cardinal second baseman
Red Schoendienst has set a new
National league fielding record,
playing 40 consecutive games
without an error at his position.
Red handled seven chances in the
Cardinal game with the Boston
Braves last night, bringing to 240
the number of chances he has had
without a bobble—another Nation
al league record.
The record books show Charley
Herzog of Chicago set the previous
game record with 38 in 1919.
Hughie Critz held the consecutive
second-base chance record—197 in
1932 when he was with the New
York Giants.
For people and players who like
to watch or shoot match play golf,
the PGA is the best. This 31st Pro
fessional Golfers’ association tour
nament begins with 18 holes on
medal play qualifying today. An
other 18 of the same follows
Thursday.
Then the 64 survivors begin
working on each other instead of
par. They waste no time in cutting
themselves down to a bare 16.
That’s all who’ll be around after
two 18-hole rounds Friday..
The round of 16 Saturday will
be over 36 holes. Only eight golfers
will be in the 36-hole quarter-finals
Sunday, four men Monday, and
then the final 36 holes Tuesday.
The course has been stretched
to 6,677 yards—which is 200 or
300 more than ordinarily played.
Par is 36-35—71, and thus far in
practice rounds the allotment has
been liberal.
Lew Worsham, playing from
Oakmont, Pa., made his final
warm-up round a hot one. He tied
the Hermitage course record with
a 34-29—63.

The linemen spent a goodly part of
the afternoon brushing up on
blocking live bait, while the rest
of the team went through an ex
tensive passing session.
DARRELL Robinson and Eob
Anderson continued to sparkle on
the receiving end of aerials thrown
their way by Jim Calderwood, Earl
Stelle and Joe Tom.
Robinson, particularly, has
been more than a sensation all
spring and should do pretty well
himself at that left end slot
vacated by Dan Garza. He’s been
turning in startling circus catch
es time after time—which isp’t
to say that Anderson hasn’t.
The competing Green and White
teams have already been divided,
with 39 players composing the for
mer and 36 the latter. Jerseys
have been issued, and about all
that remains, besides one more
regular practice, is the battle it
self.
AS THINGS stand at the mo
ment, each of the two squads will
operate by the platoon system.
Both the Greens and Whites will
have respective offensive and de
fensive combinations, as they will
be alternated in and out accord
ingly, at least for the first couple
of quarters, anyway.
Aiken himself plans to handle
the offensive teams while Assist
ants Bob Sullivan and Buster
McClure will guide the defensive
units.
Tackle Steve Dotur was still on
the limping list because of a bad
knee, but chances are that he may
be able to compete Saturday, in
which case he’ll take over a start
ing berth for the Whites.
THE CLINIC itself, which will
attract coaches from all over the
area, opens Friday. Registration
is scheduled between 11 a.m. and
noon at McArthur court, followed
by a lunch at John Straub hall and
movies of the 1949 Cotton Bowl
game. The first of nine lectures
that will spice the two day pro
gram begins at 2 p.m.
