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.
