Aqua-Ducks Threaten
Records in OSC Meet
By 1*1111. JOHNSON
Oregon University's varsity
swimmers hope to break some all
time Oregon records when they
meet Oregon State in the local
Mens’ Pool Saturday afternoon.
'“"Joe”Nishimoto, who shattered
three enemy pool records during the
Ducks’ recent invasion o fthe In
land Empire country, has an ex
cellent chance to become a mem
ber of the all-time all-Oregon
swimming team. In order to qual
ify for that position, he must swim
the 220 or 440-yard freestyle faster
than the present members of the
all-time team have done. One of
the present members, Ft. Smith,
swam the 220 with a time of 2:19.0,
and Nishimoto will become a mem
ber is he breaks that mark.
Smith, who graduated in 1943,
also qualified for the all-time all
Oregon team in the 440-yard free
style, which he swam with a mark
at 5:07.0. Nishimoto has an excel
lent chance to brea kthis record
Saturday.
Santo Shows Speed
In the 100-yard freestyle, Louis
Santos or Bill Vannatta can be
come members of the alll-time team
by negotiating the course in less
than 54.1 seconds. Santos shattered
that mark Tuesday in a practice
swim as he completed the tour in
53.4 seconds, but his record is un
official, since it was not made in an
official meet. Vannatta swam the
100 yard's in 54.3 seconds yesterday
afternoon in another unofficial
practice swim.
Stan Hargrave also has a chance
to qualify for the all-time all-Ore
gon squad. If he can break Earl
Walters’ mark of 1:02.8 in the 100
yard backstroke, he will be placed
on the squad as a 300-yard medley
relay man. Hargrave’s best time
this year was 1:04.0.

Gordon Signs
With Cleveland
CLEVELAND, O.—(UP) —The
Cleveland Indians Wednesday an
nounced the signing of Second
Baseman Joe Gordon, who pre
viously had expressed a desire to
bow out of major league baseball.
The veteran Gordon, who at 35 is
still regarded one of the best second
basemen in the business, came to
terms with General Manager Hank
Greenberg in a long distance tele
phone call from his home in Eu
gene, Ore.
Greenberg said Gordon had sign
ed a one year contract at the same
salary he received in 1949. He was
and it was believed that a pay cut
paid a reported $35,000 last year
of $5000 in the first contract mail
ed him for this year has been re
stored.
“The matter of Joe’s salary was
never really a problem,” Green
berg said. “Joe had asked us for his
unconditional release so that he
could manage a club in the Pacific
Coast League.
“We could hardly comply with this
request in view of the fact that Gor
don is still the best second baseman
in the American League.”

Sharman Proves
Whole Show in

A month of inactivity iri Confer
ence basketball action apparently
didn’t dull the shoottng eye of
Southern California’s Bill Shar
man, who has made a one-man
show out o fthe PCC Southern Divi

When the Southern teams resum
ed action last week the Trojan
sharpshooter threw in 48 points on
one weekend. That boosted his six
game PCC total to 138 points—an
average of 23 points a game. That
average gives him a comfortable
bulge over George Yardley of Stan
ford, who has averaged 16.8 points
a game.
More Sharman
Sharman also leads in free throw
percentages and is second to his
team mate, Stan Christie in field
