I DUCKTRACKS By JOHN BARTON Emerald Sports Editor 'I he University of California has sent ont an interesting press book on today and tomorrow's Pacific Coast Conference track and field meet. The Bear news agency lists, beside every man who is entering the meet, each event on a separate page, with alf records in that event given, along with the favorites in that event. We’ll give you here each event, as the Bear news boys list them, and list the favorites, as set down by the California agency. In the 100-yard dash, Cal says its own Donnie Anderson is the favorite. Anderson has covered the century in 9.5 seconds three times this season. Bill Fell is second, with one 9.5 per formance to his record. The same two men are listed, in the same order, for the 220 yard dash. In the 440-yard dash, Franklin (Pitch) Johnson of Stanford rates as top man with a best time of 48.8 seconds in the quarter mile. For some strange reason, Oregon’s Dave Henthorne isn’t even listed. Pie hasn’t however, come near Johnson’s time. Plen thorne's best time has been around 49.3. Can Hutch Come Through? In the 880-yard, or half-mile, run, Southern Cal's Bob Pruitt gets the nod with his time of 1:52. Oregon’s Walt McClure at best can clock around a 1:55, according to his record. The mile run, by the Cal news book, should be won by Paul Mello of Cal. He has a best time this season of 4:15.4. Oregon’s Jack Hutchins hasn’t come too near that this year, but last sea son he ran a 4:15 flat. His bad leg is now apparently healed. Look for Hutchins to be a surprise winner. But USC's Jim Newcomb could surprise everybody (including us) and win the mile, just as surely as he will win the two mile. Newcomb, the sophomore lad from Portland, has a best time, at the time this book was printed, of 9 :22.9 in the two mile. Pete Mundle won the ND meet with 9:32 plus. Washing ton’s George Abbey is rated second to Newcomb. In the 120-yard high hurdles, Oregon rates hardly a chance, going by the Cal booklet. Best of 1950 in this event is Dick Attle sey of‘lfS€. -He has a best time of 13.5 this year. Oregon’s Jack Doyle has done around a 15 second high hurdle course. The same story goes for the 220-yard low hurdles. Attlesey has a best of 23.1 in this event. Under the mile relay event, Oregon again isn’t listed. The Webfoots have run this event only about twice this year, because the points have never been needed. Ras An Easy Winner The pole vault event is given hands down to Oregon's George Rasmussen. His best this year is 14 feet, 1 inch. He has never (never, that is) been beaten in dual competition. Rated second is Walt Jensen of USC with a best of 14 feet this year. The high jump is given by the Cal news bureau to Eric Rob erts of Washington State. Roberts is only a sophomore this year, and has jumped Oregon’s 1941 high jump star, Les Steers, holds the world’s record, the American college record, the PCC meet record, and the record in the Edwards Track Stadium, where the meet is being held today. Gay Bryan of Stanford is given the nod in the broad jump because of his best performance this year of 25 feet, 2y2 inches. Oregon’s Woodley Lewis, ND broad jump champ, is not given a chance by the Cal boys. Stanford again gets an easy first in the shot put, where the incomparable Otis Chandler has tossed the iron as far as 55 feet, 71/) inches this year, and can do better. He holds last year’s PCC meet record with a toss of 54, 9)4. so you can see how he has im proved. Again. Oregon isn't listed. The Ducks probably won't enter this event. In the discus. Bob Anderson is rated as being third, having tossed the plate 153, 10 3/4. USC’s Sim Iness is rated tops with his 168, 6Y2. Bud Held of Stanford is rated as best in the javelin, having thrown the spear slightly farther than 233 feet. Chuck Missfeldt is placed fifth. That’s the way the University of California news bureau has it figured. Southern Cal will sweep the meet, according to this book. Fiiis Conquer IM Tennis Crown Double wins in the doubles event gave Phi Gamma Delta a 2-1 vic tory over Stan Ray Hall, and in so doing, gave the winners the intra mural tennis trophy. Stan Ray singles man, Neil Geor ge, defeated Fiji Bob Corgan 6-3. 3-6, and 6-3. Chuck Corgan and Jim Snow top ped Stan Ray racket men Bob Cronshey and Bob Leik 6-0 and 6-4 for the first doubles victory. Fijis Russ Waddle and John Van natta topped Bill Willard and Fred Ameluxen 6-3 and 6-3 for the sec ond doubles match and the cham pionship. Lesch Discusses Revenge Plays By CLIFTON COLE A revenge play at its worst is imbecilic violence written by an id iot and signifying nothing, Dr. E. C. A. Lesch professor of English, said Wednesday evening. Dr. Lesch, speaking at the regu lar meeting of the lecture-forum series in the browsing room of the library, said that at its best re venge drama was infinitely rich. “In the jargon of the Univer sity,” Dr. Lesch explained, “the minimum requirements for a re venge play are a villian or murder er, a revenger, and of course the victim in the person of a corpse or ghost.” Dr. Lesch citect as examples of the revenge tradition in Shakes peare’s plays, the play within a play, as in “The Tempest” and “Hamlet,” and the revenge of the hero against the murderer in those two plays. Dr. R. D. Horn, professor of Eng lish, led the discussion after the main lecture. Your Late Oregana May Cost You Coins By JAMES SANDERS The Student Union office was swamped Wednesday and Thurs day by scores of enterprising- stu dents wishing to purchase “cheap” 500 copies of the current Oregana before the business man ager donated them to the Home coming bonfire. Equally enterprising Oregana staff members are rapidly real izing how silly it would be of them to burn up sucii a gold mine. The Oregana manager Thursday challenged those who have paid for a book and failed to pick it up to a special race next Monday. Those owners who fail to get to the Student Union by 5 p.m. Mon day may secure it simply by mailing in the cover off their last year’s Oregana along with 89 cents for postage, he said. The latter figure is no joke, Sanders blurted,- as it constitutes the cost of sending copies out to student’s homes.
