DUCK TRACKS By JOHN BARTON Emerald Sports Editor Word comes from the southland that Stanford track pros pects have suffered a great blow. A United Press story, filed yes terday, reported that the Indians’ Darrell Krietz, high hurdles ace, will be out of the running for the rest of the season. Krietz collided with the seventh hurdle last Saturday in a tri angle meet with San Jose State and the San Francisco Olympic Club. Upon first examination, the injury looked like a muscle bruise, but a closer look showed doctors that he had aggravated an old leg injury. According to the Stanford Athletic Department, Krietz was layed up last spring with the same injury, but it was thought to be pretty well healed. In 1948, he was the winner of the high hurdle event in the Stanford-California meet. He also won that event in the West Coast relays. In the Pacific Coast Conference meet, he placed second. His best tim? in the high hurdles is 14.3 seconds. Stanford has suf fered a loss. Buck Hasn't Changed Washington State Baseball Coach Arthur “Buck” Bailey put his usual good show for fans when his Cougars stopped in Eugene last Friday and Saturday. During Saturday’s game, some of the visiting high school seniors seemed a bit awed by Buck’s tactics. One remarked af ter the contest that Leo Durocher is just a piker alongside Bailey. It’s interesting to note that when a strike is called on a Cou gar batter . . . that is, the batter just stands there and the umpire bellows something while he sticks up his right hand . . . both bat ter and ump stand sort of rigid with their eyes tipped toward Heaven. An then, if Buck jumps off the bench and begins his militar istic march toward the plate, both batter and ump look even more rigid and nervous. Sometimes Buck thinks it wasn't a strike and takes his wrath out on the ump. And then, sometimes, he may agree that it was a strike and tell his batter a few things about how to bat. No Youth on That Game Saw a good example of calmness the other night. Coolhead edness is a thing which some athletes work years to develop. One of the Emerald baseball writers was putting together his story on a baseball game between Oregon and some pre-season op ponent. The writer seemed not a bit out of the ordinary in his conduct. He joked about the game. He rattled his typewriter just as stead ily as ever. And then, about half-way through the story, he stop ped and calmly picked up the telephone. He dialed Sacred Heart Hospital and asked for the maternity ward. He named his wife and asked if the offspring had arrived. 1 he answer was negative, so he. turned around and smiled, f**‘Not yet.” Then he went back to writing his story of that day’s game. When finished, he again picked up the phone and called the hos pital. From across the room, we could hear the attendant tell him that he was a father. He looked as if his horse had finished third at Bay Meadows because she didn't say whether it was a daughter or a son. They didn’t know. So, he read over his story and then looked at tomor row’s schedule. By the next night, he had discovered that it was a boy, and, already being the father of a girl, he appeared a little wound up by then. (That’s not sports, but its connected with Emerald coverage of sports. At least, no one can accuse the Emerald of having fresh young kids covering baseball games.) The 13th Annual Hayward Relays take place here this week end. Class “A” high schools will battle on the Hayward Field Fri dav. and Class “B” and ”C” schools will fight it out on Saturday. Incidently, that's going to be mighty crowded Saturday, because the Oregon-WSC meet is the same afternoon. How Come, Huh? How come no opening ceremony for Oregon’s first Northern Division baseball game? Oregon State had one, according to re ports. and so did Washington. Used to be that the University President (Xewburn, that is. not Johnson) would toss in the first ball, downtown merchants would go wild, and things got off to a bang. This year. Oregon kind of slid into its ND opener with a quiet “plav ball.” Rain, of course, was responsible for the use of the lower field for the Friday game with WSC. k Berreman to Attend Yale SummerSchool Joel V. Berreman, professor of sociology, has been selected as a representative to the Yale Sum mer School of Alcoholic Studies for 1950. The selection was made by the Educational Advisory Board of the Oregon Liquor Control Commis sion, which every year sends sev eral delegates to the Yale school. The board chose Berreman for his research in connection with the state clinic in Portland, which is modeled after the Yale Plan Clinic. He has also taken part in the edu cational program by lecturing on alcoholic studies. The summer school will be'held from July 8 to Aug. 4.

'Lyrical Legerdemain" Fenton Festival Theme “Lyrical Legerdemain” has been selected as the theme for the 1950 Fenton Festival, Law School Week end Chairman Curt Cutsforth an nounced Tuesday. The winning slogan for the May 6 Gerlinger dance was submitted, Cutsforth said, by a nameless school boy. The prize, a complete set of the city ordinances of Win nipeg, will thus be reserved until next year. Legal tunesmiths meanwhile were at work on the words and music to go with the theme, and Cutsforth said a song fitting the occasion will be announced shortly. Noting that the allowance for Junior Weekend floats had been in creased from $30 to $50, Cutsforth observed that anything the law students wish to float will be held in trust until such time as the mill race is capable of floating it. The field of more than 100 queen candidates will be narrowed to six finalists at a student body meet ing next Tuesday, Cutsforth said. The law school queen and “her” court of five princesses will reign at the dance. All public appearances sched uled after May 6 have been cancel led. Official sources said, however, that no special significance should be attached to this report.
