By DAVE TAYLOR Oregon track and field stars turned in outstanding perform ances last Saturday as they com peted on the national scene in Pro vo, Utah, and Des Moines, Iowa. George Rasmussen, Oregon’s peerless vaulter, had complete mas tery over the other entries as he went 13 feet 6 inches to win easily. The closest height to Rasmussen’s was 12 feet, but the scheduled ap pearance of the nation’s top vault er, Bob Richards, failed to mater ialize. Rasmussen had chosen the Brig ham Young University annual track and field carnival over the Drake Relays because he wanted to compete against the former Uni versity of Illinois great. The weatner was near freezing during the entire meet with the thermometer reading around 40 de grees above zero. Don Cooper, University of Ne braska, won the vault at the Drake relays with a vault of 14 feet 1 inch. Cold, Rain, Mud While Rasmussen was fighting the cold, Oregon’s crack 440-yard relay team of Bill Fell, A1 Bullier, Jack Smith, and Dave Henthorne was ploughing mud and rain in the Drake relays. The Ducks captured second place, less'than a yard behind the Rice Owls. The winning time was 0:42.2 seconds. The Ducks time for the quarter mile course was 0:42.3 seconds. A poor baton pass slowed the Oregon team and allowed the Owls to over come an early lead built up bjr the Ducks. Drake University was third, Indi ana, fourth, and Minnesota, fifth, in the quarter-mile event. Fell Runs Second In the individual competition. Bin Fell was a close second in the 100 yard dash. He forced Paul Beinz. defending Drake relay sprint king from Tulane, to cut one-tenth of a second off last year’s winning time. Beinz’ was clocked at :9.7 seconds. Fell defeated Charlie Parker ol Texas, regarded as the “world's fastest human." Parker was third. Dave Henthorne, Fell’s running mate in the lemon-and-green uni form, came in sixth in the cluster finish of the 100-yard dash. Hen thorne had defeated Parker Friday in the preliminary elimination heats. Netters Absorb First Defeat As WSC Wins, 6-1 An unexpectedly strong Wash ington State College tennis squad shattered the University of Ore gon’s four game winning streak by powering its way to a decisive 6 to 1 victory on the Emerald Street courts Friday afternoon. Cougar Coach Paul Wilson’s net men captured four of the five sing les matches and swept both doubles encounters in posting their seventh win out of nine starts. Only Duck Victory The only Webfoot triumph came in the number one singles play, when Tom MacDonald registered a hard-fought 7-5, 7-5 victory over Jim Witt, one of three Cougar let termen. The remaining contests saw the Cougars record a clean sweep, with the following results: Clarence Powell measured Cam eron Thorn for a 6-4, 6-2 win; Jack Richardson came through with a tough three-set decision over Dan Cudahy by 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 scores; Jack Hazelwood throttled Bob Mensor by a 6-3, 9-7 margin; and Wes Towner crushed George Boyd, 8-6, 7-5. Double Doubles Defeat In doubles play, Witt and Dick Gilliland whipped MacDonald and Cudahy, 6-3, 8-6, and Powell and Richardson trounced Thom and Bill Williams, 7-5, 6-4. The loss left the Ducks with a 1-1 mark in conference play, while the Cougars, who lost to Oregon State Saturday, have a 2-1 slate. The Webfoots’ next match is scheduled for Tuesday, when they travel to Corvallis to meet Oregon State.
