Husky Meet May Bring New Marks By DAVE TAYLOR Oregon’s Webfoot thinclads will make their final home appearance of 1950 this Saturday when they meet Coach Hec Edmundson’s Washington Huskies on Hayward Field. Both teams are unbeaten in Northern Division competition with the meet this weekend possibly de ciding the dual meet championship. The meet will be the finale for seven Duck seniors including Ore gon’s three-man vault team of George Rasmussen, Don Pickens, and Lloyd Hickok. Other gradu ating seniors are Davey Henthorne, ace sprinter of the Northern Divi s on since his freshman year, Jack Doyle, three-year letterman in the hurdles, Woodley Lewis, ND broad jumper king of 1949, and Pete Mun dle, three-year veteran distance nan. At the end of the 1950 season these seven men will have earned a total of 24 emblems for their track a.id field performances. Rasmussen has never been defeated in North ern Division competition, while his piston-pinned partner, Dave Hen tiiorne, was defeated once in 1948 when he was suffering from a leg injury. New Records Maybe Both men could establish new records when the Huskies come to Eugene. Rasmussen will be shoot ing for the only dual meet vault record which he doesn’t already possess. The present dual record' is 14 feet set by George Varoff in 1938. He will also be toward a new field record. The present mark of 14 feet 4 inches is held by Varoff and Rod Henson, both of Oregon in 1939. Henthorne will be making his fi nal bid in the 440-dash where he -—threatens the field record of 48.7 seconds set by Loren Benke of WSC in 1936. Henthorne lias Already run a 50 flat quarter-mile and will be pushed Saturday by Huskies Ken Morgan and Fred Bush who have ran 50. flat and 50.2 already this year. Bad News Burke Other possible record perform ances could come in the high hurd les, the 880-yard run, and the two nile. Jack Burke of Washington lias run the tall timber in 14.5 sec onds which is better than the pres ent mark set by Lyle Clark, Wash ington, in 1946 and Steve Ander son, Washington, in 1912. Burke v> ill be aiming at a new field record also. The present mark of 14.7 sec o ids was set by Ronald Kelly, WSC, in 1934. Burke will face Jack Doyle, v, hose best time this year is 15.1 seconds.

Cougars Waiting, Ducks WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, — Two sophomore hurlers will carry the Cougar hopes in the coming baseball series with the Univer sity of Oregon this weekend, Friday and Saturday May 5 and 6. Coach Buck Bailey has revealed that Lee Dolquist, sophomore right hander from Yakima will probably get the call in one of the Oregon games. Dolquist is the leading Cougar hurler this season with a rec ord of three wins and no losses to his credit. The second sophomore is tall righthander Gene Conley of Richland. Conley may hold the key to the Cougar success as he has yet to win his first conference start. Despite the fact that he has one conference loss on his record this season, Conley has struck out more batters than any other Cougar hurler. Conley is also the leading WSC batter with a .667 percentage for the season thus far. WHY NOT STUDY THIS SUMMER IN EUROPE?

Order of 'O' An .Order of the ‘O’ meeting is scheduled for today at the Delta Upsilon domicile. President Don Peterson has requested that all members be present. his mates were getting nine scat tered hits off the offerings of Ida ho’s Schiller. The victory broke a three-game conference losing streak for Dort Kirsch’s Ducks, although it was not enough to lift them out of the cel lar. Oregon picked up single runs in the first, third, and fourth innings for a 3-0 lead. The Vandals got back in the ball game in the fifth when their only hits of the contest, a pair of doubles, were the big factors in netting two tallies. Idaho Defense Fails It was still 3-2 in the eighth when the Idaho defense became a thing of the past. Ten bobbles were commit ted by the Vandals in the last two frames while the Ducks were piling up five runs in the eighth and four more in the ninth. Schiller had limited Oregon to five safeties go ing into the eighth. Idaho picked up its final marker in that active eighth. Daryle Nelson, the Northern Di vision’s leading hitter, led the Web foot attack with two doubles. ^ Shortstop Ray Coley might have established some sort of a record. Three of his trips to the plate re sulted in his being hit by Schiller’s heaves. Johnson to Pitch Oregon goes against the Vandals today in its final clash of the sea son with the Moscow club. Swede Johnson is slated to be on the mound for the Webfoots, while Bob Pritchett is expected to hurl for Idaho.

Oregon 101 100 054—12 9 0 Idaho 000 020 010— 3 2 13 Transfers Look Fine To Taylpr OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis, — Spring football prac tice is nearing the final stages at Oregon State. The Beavers will climax the 30-session program with a regulation intra-squad game on Bell field Saturday after noon, May 13. Coach Kjp Taylor is pleased with the progress shown by a number of his sophomores and transfers and feels that the new men will defi nitely make a strong contribution to the Orange cause next fall. The three positions hardest hit by graduation — ends, left halfback and fullback — are beginning to shape up pretty well. The end situation in particular looks much beter than it did when spring drills started. Bill Storey, lanky freshman from Battle Ground, Wash., has been a pleas ant surprise and should make a fine defensive right end. He did not go out for freshman football last fall but earned all-state hon ors in high school. Another newcomer showing up very well at a wing post is Jim Cordial, transfer from Salinas, Cal. junior college. Bill Platenburg, transfer from Pastdena, is a good technician and has improved rap idly this spring. Veterans Don Niblett and John Thomas have shown improvement over their play last fall.
