Wv. '■S * : CiEORGE RASMUSSEN, .credited with introducing Swedish-made ox fords to style-conscious men in America, displays another style which is unlikely to make a hit with OSC cindermen Saturday when they in vade Eugene for the Oregon-OSC Relays. Time Trials Drizzled Out; OSC Meet Looms By DAVE TAYLOR A steady drizzling min prevented the Oregon thinclads from running time and distance trials yesterday afternoon as they prepared for the Oregon-Oiegon State Relays here Saturday. The Ducks were forced to work out in the fieldhouse behind the I hysical Education school. Coach Bill Bowerman said the tests against the clock would be cancel led this week. You will Always Find The Best Fish and Seafoods AT | NEWMAN'S FISH MARKET 39 K. Broadway Dial 4-2371 “We didn’t need the time trials to put us in better condition.” the Webfoot mentor commented. “They were to be run only, to determine the not-too-obvious choices for the individual events Saturday. Now I'll be forced to arbitrarily select the entries.” Plenty To Go By Bowerman’s selections probably won’t be too arbitrary since he has the results of the intrasquad meet held last Saturday and other pre season timings to guide him. The Duck coach said he intended to make out the entry list last night and inform the men today what event they would enter. The Relays have been changed this year to cover the full gamut of events which make up an ordinary Northern Division tiack meet. For the first time the relays will include the pole vault, broad jump, discus, and javelin. The enlargement came' about by mutual agreement be tween Boweiman and Oregon State Track Coach Doc Swan. Other events included in the meet are the 440-yard relay, the S80, mile, two-mile, four-mile, shuttle hurdles, shot put, and the high jump.

Coach Kip Taylor, who piloted the Beavers to a mythical northern division championship and seven victories in 10 starts in his first year at the helm last fall, wasted no time in getting the squad down to heavy work and promised a scrim mage session or two by the end of the first week. No More Carpenter Toughest holes to fill will be those left by Ken Carpenter, all coast left halfback; Capt. Tom De Sylvia, steady right guard; and Capt. elect Stan McGuire, brilliant right end killed tragically in a to boggan accident in January. Heav iest all-around losses were suffered in the backfield where four half backs and three fullbacks gradu ated. Lettermen on hand are John Thomas, Don Nibblett and Clifl Snider; ends; Herman Clark, Bill Farnham and Jim Hanker, tackles; Jim Clark, Don Zarosinski, Wes Hogland and Dave Lofts, guards; Pete Palmer and A1 Gray, centers, Gridders Get New White Lids A new experiment, designed to eliminate dents in the head, has proven successful for the Webfoot football squad. Head Coach Jim Aiken said Wed nesday that he had ordered new plastic helmets for varsity use dur ing this autumn’s gridiron outing. The new-fangled head parapha nalia has an inside compartment that resembles the old helmet liners that members of the armed forces wmre. There is a system of webbing and a foam rubber, perforated “cushion” inside, through the out side shape is about t he same as conventional gridiron head gear. Aiken, who has tried out the hel met on about a dozen “guinea pigs' during the first three three spring football drills, said that the new shipment o ftoppers would be solid white.

By SAM FIDMAN After three days of organized bone-crushing, the University of Oregon varsity grid machine came up with hundreds of bumps and bruises—but no notable injuries, according to Head Coach Jim Aiken. Despite the drizzly leak in the Heavens Wednesday, Aiken ran his charges through a thorough scrimmage, in which he made good use of his second and third stringers. Webfoots Host Vanport Today Oregon’s baseball club hosts Vanport JC at 3 o’clock this after noon at Howe Field if the rain has no objections. The Ducks will be trying for their third straight non-conference win when they meet the Vikings. Rain cancelled yesterday’s clash with Lewis and Clark and the weather man says the same thing is likely to happen today, Don Kirsch plans to use three pitchers today, as he did against Portland'. Big Gus Kniclcrehm is slated to work the first three in nings, Con Sheffer will hurl the next three, and Stan Aune goes the rest of the way. Norv Ritchey likely will be be hind the plate. The schedule for the rest of the week brings Willamette here for a twin bill starting at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon, and the Webfoots travel to Portland Saturday for a return engagement with the Pilots. The idea here was to see just what the varsity crew had below the surface, and in Jim’s own words it was “both good and bad.’’ The coach passed out roses for Wednesday afternoon’s perform ances, with one going to Jerry Peckover, fullback candidate from Oregon City. Aiken was also im piessed with the play of Rapid Bill Fell, who scurried through the en tire team for several touchdowns. Room Full of Roses Delmer Clemens showed well again, as did Don Eldart. Both are guard hopefuls, with Clemens, from Burns, fresh from the Frosh, and Eldart a newcomer from Aberdeen, Wash. Tommy Lyon, Long Beach, Calif., looked good in his backfield chores: Bob Carey drew praise for his work as defensive back and safety man. An old Aiken flame, Darwin Farnsworth, ran like a rabbit, much to the pleasure of his boss. Jerry Shaw performed well at tackle, and' Dean Hanson did a man’s work as line backer. Jake Williams is the leading candidate for left end duties, followed by Jack Lust and Sam Nicolopulos.
