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.
Included are University profes
sors and officials. Names and sub
jects of the speakers will be sent to
high schools upon request by the
Information Office, which will
handle all necessary arrangements.
