N D Golfers MeetToday In Corvallis Captain Dom Provost, Ron Clark, John Prince, arid A1 Riebel will rep resent the University of Oregon in the 15th annual Northern Division Golf Tournament today and to morrow at Corvallis. The Ducks will tour the Corvallis course today in order to become bet ter acquainted with the conditions there. Unless Oregon enters the Na tional Collegiate Athletic Associa tion Tournament, which will be held at Albuquerque, New Mexico, the meet tomorrow will be the final collegiate clash for Provost, Prince, a id Riebel, who are seniors. Clark, par-busting teammate, is a sophomore and should be back next year. Oregon favoreu Although they were upset 14-13 by Oregon State at Eugene last Saturday, the Ducks will be favored to capture their sixth Northern Di vision Meet championship in fifteen years. The Ducks have defeated every N.D. opponent on their 1950 schedule, winning their eighth N.D. dual meet crown, their second dual meet title in two years. Oregon State is rated as the strongest contender, since the Bea vers defeated Oregon last Saturday and finished in second place in the dual meet standings. However, the Ducks easily defeated OSC early in the season, and the Beavers also suffered a loss at the hands of the Washington Huskies, who then ab sorbed a21'» to 5'/» drubbing from the Ducks on the following day. Many Former Champs Four golfers from each team will p>ay 36 holes of golf, and their four scores will be added to determine the winner. Ron Clark, Oregon Open champion in 1919, will be fa vored to win the individual cham pionship, which has been won by the Webfoots in 1935, 1939, 1942, 1947, and 1948. Leonard Anderson captured the title in 1935 with a 36-hole score of 146. Ben Hughes of Oregon took f rst place in 1939 by carding a five i uder-par 139, a new Northern Di v sion Meet record. Three years later, in 1942, the Ducks returned to the scene when Tick Hanen carded a score of 140 and finished first. Another meet record was set in 1947, when Web foot Lou Stafford recorded a bril 1 ant 135, nine under par, and won t ie individual crown. Stafford re peated in 1948 as he finished with a score of 140. Oregon has furnished more indi v lu.nl titlists than any other school l as done, and Clark has a good r ranee to add to the Wehfoot lee ord. ND Track Meet Tomorrow; Duck-OSC Baseball Today Howe Field Site Of Come Today; Corvallis Next The “back alley” battles between Oregon and Oregon State continue today at Howe field, with the cel lar of the Northern Division as the fate of the loser. Game time is 3 o'clock under what the weatherman calls cloudy skies. It will be a battle of aces, as Mel Krause is scheduled to hurl for Ore gon, and Don White is listed for the Beavers. Last Friday White coast ed behind a 22 hit attack to a 20-2 triumph, and on Satur day a couple of bad breaks earned Krause a 6-3 defeat. Oregon will probably go with the same team that went down to a double drubbing last weekend. Ray Stratton will be the left fielder, Daryle Nelson will be at second base, Don Kimball will go to third, right field. Dick Salter or Dewayne “Mouse” Owens will be the centerfielder, Phil Settecase will be the first baseman, Ray Coley, starting to hit, will play shortstop, and rifle armed Jack Smith will don the catcher's tools. Beavers Hit by Illness The Beavers showed little ill ef fects from the loss of two of their key infielders. Bill Harper, who wielded a big' stick last Friday up in Corvallis, was out of action Sat urday with a head injury. He is ex pected to be back in action today at third base. Bob Christianson, the acrobatic first baseman was con fined to a sickbed last week, but is expected to be ready for the twin tussles today and Saturday. He will find it a little difficult to work his way back into the lineup, since his replacement, Don Taylor hit Krause for a single and a double worth two runs here Saturday. The rest of the Beavers will prob ably be Pete Goodbrod in center field, Don Fawcett at second base, Gene Tanselli at shortstop, and Ray Snyder in right field. Ray Krafve will be the left fielder, Bobo Cling man or Cub Houk will catch, and' Leon Akers will be third baseman if the bandages are still on Harper’s head. Win, lose, or draw, there will be a repeat performance at Corvallis on Saturday, with DeWayne John son scheduled to send up his left handed slants in an effort to save Oregon from the cellar. A Florida man died while living alone in (14 rooms. Just the right place for a family with one child. Frosh Swamp Rooks In Track,. But Drop Ball Game With No Hits Win...

The high jump, won by Emery Barnes, at 0 feet, 2 inches. The two-mile run, won by Pat Dignan with a time of 10 minutes, 39.3 seconds, good considering that it is the first time Dignan has run the two-mile race this year.

BUT WE CAN'T STOP NOW OR WE'LL MISS THE SOPHOMORE PICNIC 1 p.m.-May 20 SWIMMERS' DELIGHT OPEN TO ALL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS Lose... Len Mohler, a curve-balling righthander, warmed the soul of old Ralph Coleman as he pitched the Oregon State Rooks to a 5-0 no hit victory over the Oregon Frosh. With the poise of a veteran, Mohler sent the Ducklings down with nine zeroes, displaying a good assortment of curves and control. Ten men went down on strikes and three bases on balls were the only flaws of an excellent yearling per formance. Curt Barclay, the number one moundsman for the Ducklings was the victim of two big innings. The L'il Beavers salted the ball game away in the first inning, with a hit and an error. Barclay almost saw daylight as he struck out the next two hitters, but a double in side the third base line drove home enough runs to get Mohler the vic tory. The Beaverlings added a three run insurance cushion in the fifth on three hits, one a triple. Bill Lehrer led the Rook attack with two hits in four attempts.

The favored Webfoots are picked to win at least five events, and with points collected in other events, should finish ahead of the six-team field. Duck first place probables in clude the 100 and 220-yard dashes, ■— the pole vault, the quarter-mile, and the javelin, with a possible mile win if Jack Hutchins’ ailing leg does not hamper him. Bullet Bill Fell is favored to an nex both dashes for the Ducks, while George Rasmussen should win his fourth straight ND pole vault title. Dave Henthorne in the 440 and Chuck Missfeldt in the javelin are the other probable Duck winners. Strongest threat to the Oregon squad should come from the Wash ington Huskies, who will be paced by probable-double winner Jack Burke in the hurdles. Here is the 18 man traveling team, as announced by Bowerman: Sprints, Bill Fell, Dave Hen thorne, Mitch Cleary, A1 Bullier, and Jack Countryman; half-mile, Walt McClure; mile, Jack Hutch ins and Art Backlund; two-mile, Pete Mundle; hurdles, Jack Doyle, Dennis Sullivan, and Jack Smith; weights, Bob Anderson; javelin, Chuck Missfeklt; and jumps, Woodley Lewis,* George Rasmussen, Lloyd Hickok, and Don Pickens. Manager Jack Garnet will accompany the squad. Weather . . . Partly cloudy today and Satur day with a few scattered light ^ showers this morning. Little change in temperature. High today 65; low, 40. Netmen Head North For Division Matches Coach Robeson Bailey’s varsity tennis squad will finish its season at Pullman today and tomorrw as it engages in the northern division championship playoffs on the Washington State College courts. Oregon State’s Beavers and the Washington Huskies, both of whom ended the regular campaign un defeated, are co-favorites to win the crown. The Huskies, defending champions, have captured the title every year but 1938, when the Bea vers won. Dual meet competition this year saw the Beavers, with a 5-0 record, edge Washington, which wound up with a 3-0 conference mark. Oregon, with a 1-4 slate, was able to finish ahead of winless Ida ho and took fifth place behind Washington State. Bailey's four-man squad which is making the trip includes Tom MacDonald, Bob Mensor, Camer on Thom, and Dan Cudahy. Only four players from each school can compete. Oregon’s best chance for a win ner rests with MacDonald, the sophomore from Grant High of Portland. He could possibly annex the singles crown if he plays as he did during the season, when he was beaten only by Montana’s Wayne Cuming in a three-set struggle. The two-day playoffs are gruel ing affairs, which last all day. Net ters who win their matches usually play at least twice a day. Elimina tions continue until the finals Sat urday afternoon. The Duck doubles teams will probably consist of MacDonald Mensor and Thom-Cudahy. The Webfoots are not given much of a chance in the doubles play. Last year's singles winner, Wash ington’s nationally - known Jim Brink, is no longer in school, which leaves the race wide open.
