DuckRunners Prepare For Idaho Meet Rain again disrupted the Web foot trackmen’s weekly time and distance trials as they prepared for their opening Northern Division dual meet with the University of Idaho Saturday in Moscow. Wea ther conditions last week forced the Duck’s tests against the clock to be canceled, but Coach Bill Bowerman refused to let the trials slide by yes terday as he sent his distance run ners through their paces. The re. mainder of the events, the sprints and field events, will be continued this afternoon. Walt McClure, veteran middle distance man for the Ducks, ran off with the top honors in yester day’s tests by turning in a spark ling 1 minute 24.2 seconds timing over the 660-yard distance. He was followed over the route by A1 Krax berger, junior holdover, from last year’s team, who was clocked at 1 minute 30 seconds. Jack Hutchins, sophomore star distance man, did not face the clock. He is nursing an injured leg suffered during spring vacation. He will make the trip to Moscow, however, Bowerman said. Mundle Books Good Pete Mundle, Oregon's only long distance runner remaining from last year, also come up with an ex cellent performance. He churned through the’ wet cinders of Hay ward Field in the mile and a half to beat out Art acklund and stop the clock at 7 minutes 8 seconds.^ Bowerman expressed confidence in the Ducks winning their opener against the Vandals, but reiterated his stand against the Northern Di vision rules limiting team traveling squads to 22 men. “This rule is a hindrance to the sport," Bowerman said. “How can a coach keep his men interested in turning out for training if only such a few actually get to enter compe tition.” According to Bowerman, Leo Harris, Oregon director of athlet ics. approached the other graduate managers in the Northern Division, but all refused to cooperate. The rule will again be discussed at the PCC coaches and representatives meeting in May. California Transfers Take To Water Like True Ducks By JOHN BARTON Oregon’s spring football Ducks got their first feeling of a wet turf on the practice field yesterday in what Backfield Coach Jerry Lillie described as the “toughest scrim mage yet.” A heavy rain preceeded the work out, although no moisture fell dur ing the scrimmage. Lillie said sev eral California transfers “prob ably saw their first wet football.” No practice will take place today, with Head Coach Jim Aiken in Boise, Id., for a confeernce with the American Association of Physical Education. Two offensive left halfbacks were listed by Lillie as being out standing yesterday. Wayne Parsons, and Ron Ly man, the coach said, were consist ently hard to grab on quick plays through the line. Elsewhere in the offensive backfiedl, Bob Carey, who has also put in time at defensive saefty, produced several beautiful cutback plays through the left tackle hole. Fell May Drop Pads Bill Fell, working out with the track team yesterday, may get con siderable pressure at his left half spot before spring sessions are completed. Lillie said yesterday there is a chance Fell will work ' only without pads for the rest of the spring season. Apparently, Fell has chances of doing possibly-great things in Northern Division track this year. If this is so, Aiken and the rest of the coaching staff will probably not want to stand in his way. With Parsons, Lyman, Carey, and several other potentials work ing as they have, Fell is going to be hard pressed to keep his high rating at left half. At the offensive fullback spot last night, Jerry Peckover and Tommy Lyons traded punches at the defensive line, which seldom gave more than a few yards. Lyons broke away once for a good gain. Big Carl Ervin, a hard runner and a fast one, has definite chances at the fullback position. However, Lillie said, he must develop a fas ter start. Ervin can hit like a fig urative ton of bricks, and can'run hard once he’s in the clear. So far, however, he hasn’t been able to get up his steam as quickly as the other fullback candidates have. Dick Daugherty, now playing of fensive right end, has developed a knack for taking care of his own blocking when he runs out as a pass-receiver. Hanson for Daugherty Daugherty hits either the back er-up or the defensive halfback, whichever the play calls for, and Rain Halts IM Softball Play No intramural softball games were played yesterday, due to rain. No date has been set for playing the scheduled games. Today’s schedule: 3:50 North Field Merrick vs Sed erstrom 3:50 South Field Phi Sigma Kap pa vs Sigma Hall. 3:50 Upper Field Phi Kappa Psi vs Lambda Chi Alpha 4:55 North Field Stitzer vs Pi Kappa Alpha 4:55 South Field Sigma Alpha Epsilon vs Phi Kappa Sigma 4:55 Upper Field Yoemen vs Sherry Ross then goes on to catch the pass with one less man to worry about. Dick Patrick, Daugherty’s de fensive mate of last season, is being aided at present by Dean Hanson. Hanson and Patrick looked just short of superb yesterday, Lillie commented. If Daugherty should draw’fulH' time offensive duty next fall, he likely would not be called on to put in all the rest of the 60 minutes playing defense as well. In this case, Hanson can prove to be an able substitutte in the system of plugging holes in the forward wall. Lillie has spent most of current spring session working on the lower end of the practice field with the lesser members of the squad. Lesser Men Show Several of these men show promise, the backfield mentor said yesterday. Big Chet Noe, whom Aiken hopes to develop into a pass catcher, is still snagging the serials, but may need a lot of fundamental teaching before he can see any reg ular end duty. Bob Adair, former St. Mary’s high school (of Eugene) backfield ace, is showing well as a defensive player, Lillie asserted. “Adair, although slightly slow as a ball handler, is impressive with his courage and ability to work. He’s willing, he hits hard, and he's a good tackier.” Lillie hinted that Adair could turn into a valuable defensive play er. He apparently has been out of the game a year or so, Lillie said. Tilt Cancelled Oregon’s baseball contest sche duled against Lewis and Clark at Portland yesterday afternoon was cancelled by bad weather. The cancellation ended the pre conference activities of the Duck nine, which finished with a 5-1 grapefruit record. Portland, Wil lamette, and Linfield were victims, while Vanport JC handed the Web foots their only defeat. Diamond action resumes tomor row afternoon at 3 o’clock when the Ducks meet Washington State at Howe Field. Corrections ... An item relating to Norm Van Brocklin in Wedensday’s Duck Tracks was erroneous. He and his wife are not the parents of a newly born as stated. The cor rect information is that the first addition to the VanBrocklin household is due to arrive soon. Also, an item relating to Bill Parnell, Canadian distance run ner, was incorrect in stating that he will run for Washington State this spring. Parnell did not re turn from the Empire Games in New Zealand in time to enroll at the Cougar school, which is on the semester system. Order of 'O' Order of the “O” will meet at noon today at the Sigma Nu house. 24 Speakers Listed Twenty-four speakers available to Oregon high schools as com mencement speakers this spring have been listed by the University.
