Ducks Drop
WSC Tilts
Washington State’s veteran nine
took two big steps toward the
Cougars’ fourth straight Northern
Division baseball flag during the
weekend with a pair of victories
over Oregon's plate-weak Web
foots. The Cougars clobbered out 16
hits Friday to win the first one,
9-5, and took advantage of a weak
moment in the Duck infield to cop
the Saturday fray, 5-4.
Coach Buck Bailey appeared as
ready for the 1950 campaign as did
his power-packed crew. The roar
ing admonition given his men on
frequent occasions proved that
Buck still has a lung or two. No
old ladies were kicked, no dogs
were drowned in the water bucket,
but Bailey did manage to pick an
argument with two large dogs
shortly before the game Friday.
McQulre Homers
Centerfielder Bob McQuire laced
the second pitch of Friday’s opener
for a grounder down the left field
line that went for a homer. After
that it was just a matter of how
loud the Cougar bats would rattle.
Oregon picked up four runs in
the fifth to knot the score and
drive Gene Conley fron^ the mound,
but it was little more than a dying
effort. Reliefer Lee Dolquist quick
ly ended the uprising and took care
of the Ducks for the rest of the
way.
Washington State made it two
irt a row Saturday when Clayton
Carr followed Gordon Brunswick’s
triple with a run producing hit in

Cinderfoots Top Own
Record in Idaho Rout
By DAVE TAYLOR
Taking- 12 out of 15 first place
events and completely sweeping all
three placings in 4 of these events
the Oregon track and field team
opened the li)50 Northern Division
dual meet season by drubbing the
Idaho Vandals 88-43 in Moscow
Saturday.
The 88-point total was a record
high score for the Ducks since the
formation of the Pacific Coast Con
ference in 1916. Largest previous
margin of victory run up by Ore
gon was 87 1/3 to 43 1 /3, compiled
against Oregon State College in
1935.
New Individual records were set
by Dave Henthorne in the 100-yard
dash and Bob Anderson in the dis
cus. Henthorne clipped' the cen
tum record of 9.9 seconds that he
set last year down to 9.7 seconds.
This is an excellent performance
considering this is the opening dual
meet of the season and that Hen
thorne was also competing against
a 30-mile-per-hour ground wind.
Anderson also broke his own
mark set last season. He added over
three feet to his record as he spun
the discus 147 feet 8 inches Satur
days as against 144 feet 3 inches a
vear aeo.
‘Has’ Ties Record
Four events which the Ducks
swept were the pole vault, the shot
put, 200-yard low hurdles, and the
broad jump, George Rasmussen,
Oregon’s peerless vaulter, tied the
dual meet record at 14 feet but the
wind was too strong for him to ad
vance the mark.
Don Pickens and Lloyd Hickok
tied for second and divided the re
maining points.
In the shot the Oregon trio of
Bob Anderson, Hale Paxton, and
Dave Earl, a talented sophomore,
won handily. Anderson took first
place with a thrust of 44 feet ■% in
ches.
Jack Smith, blond haired speed
ster from Florence, was the sur
prise first-place winner of the meet
as he beat out Duck veteran Jack
Doyle and teammate Dennis Sulli
van in the 200-yard low hurdles.
Woodley Lewis started out the
defense of his Northern Division
broad jumping title by winning his
(favorite event with a leap of 22 feet
4 inches. He was followed by Smith
and Sullivan in the Duck sweep.
Other blue ribbon winners for the
Webfoots were Chuck Missfeldt,
javelin (189 feet 10 inches), Jack
Hutchins, mile (4:40.1), Dave Kol
den, high jump (5 feet 8 inches),
Walt McClure, 880 (2:03), and Pete
Mundle, two-mile, (10:25.8).
Depth Pointmakers
Depth pointmakers for the Ducks
were Art Backlund, third in the
mile, Jack Countryman, third in
the 440, Lewis and Smith, tied for
second in the high jump, Doyle,
second in 120 high hurdles, Sulli
van, third in both hurdles and the
broad jump, and Earl Stelle, third
in the javelin.
The Vandals won the mile relay
when Duck Coach Bill Bowerman
elected to save his top men for the
important Washington State meet
April 22 in Eugene.
Bill Fell, sensational sophomore
sprinter, missed the meet because
of bruised ankles and feet suffered
in spring football practice last Fri
day. He was replaced on the travel
ing squad by Dave Holden who won
the high jump for the Ducks. Fell’s
injuries are not serious enough to
keep him out of vital Washington
State meet, however.
UO Links Crew
Whips Beavers
Coach Sid Milligan’s University
of Oregon varsity golfers routed
the Oregon State Beavers 16%
10 ]/2 at Corvallis Saturday after
noon. The Ducks easily won their
opening meet of the 1950 season as
they captured five out of six singles
matches from the hapless Beavers.
Duck Captain Dom Provost re
corded a 32-37—69 to take low
score honors for the afternoon. Ron
Clark, John Prince, Dave Frey, and
Riebel also posted victories for
Oregon.
Best Ball:
Provost - Donahue (O) 1 y2;
