| DUCKTRACKS by Phil Johnson Assistant Sports Editor Unless the local weather reaches additional heights of unde sirability, University of Oregon students will be forced to wait until Saturday afternoon for their initial swimming treat of 1951. Coach John Borchardt’s Oregon varsity swimmers will dis .play their aqua-abilities when they participate in the annual Var sity-Frosh battle at 2:00 p.m. Saturday in the local Men’s Pool. No admission price will be charged. rvunougn ine u»uck varsity is well-equipped with sprinters and breaststrokers, the team lacks strength in the diving and back stroke divisions. Coach Borchardt suffered heavy graduation cas ualties, including his two experi enced divers, Jim Stanley, North ern Division diving champion in 1949, and Harry Ladas, who util ized his noted tumbling skill bn the diving board. Ray Atkinson, a sophomore from Newport, is the only diver on the 1951 roster—and he has never competed in a collegiate meet. The Ducks also have a shortage of backstrokers, with two-year let terman Stan Hargrave, who cap tured fourth place in the 1950 Nor thern Division Meet 100-yard back stroke, the only steady prospect in treat department. Despite a shortage of reserves in the diving and backstroke events, Coach Borchardt can gaze with satisfaction at the other factors in the 1951 Webfoot situ ation. Co-captains Louis Santos and Pete Van Dijk head an imposing list of talented sprinters, while Joe Nishimoto, Milton Kotoshirodo, Dick Ruckdeschel, Garland Trzyn ka, and A1 Paget appear capable of handling the breaststroking chores. Santos, an all-intramural touch football star for Minturn Hall and an all-intramural volleyball selec tion from Minturn’s championship squad', is a resident of Honolulu. Although Corvallis-style pub licity agents have never claimed that he swam over from the Is lands, he has been a top-ranking aqua-artist ever since he arriv ed. He Plans to enter the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events. Co-captain Van Dijk, who swam for Cornell before .transferring to this more appropriate climate, holds the Men’s Pool record for the 440-yard freestyle. An ineligible last season, he swam for the Frosh in the Varsi ty-Frosh encounter, capturing two firsts and swimming for the 400 yard freestyle relay squad which took another first and won the meet for the Frosh. He is a 50, 100, and 220-yard freestyler. The 50 and 100-yard freestyle candidates also include Dick Bjornstad, a Rockaway, Oregon, lad, and Sophomore Mike Popo vich, a football player from Chi cago. Since he was ineligible last year, bjornstad practiced with the Frosh during the regular season. Popo vich, a Navy veteran, was a reserve center on Coach Jim Aiken’s 1950 Oregon gridiron machine. ♦ ♦ ♦ Joe Nishimoto, a 220 and 440 yard breaststroker, is one of the four lettermen returning from the 1950 squad (the others are Har grave, Santos, and Ruckdeschel). Nishimoto, Buek- co-captain last year, holds the Northern Di vision short pool record for the 200-yard breaststroke. He swam the distance in 2 minutes and 24.7 seconds. Also a capable indi vidual medley performer, he is\a member of the all-time, all-Ore gon team. Other breaststrokers include Dick Ruckdeschel, letterman from Fort land, A1 Paget, Garland Trzynka, and Milton Kotoshirodo. ♦ ♦ ♦ Paget, another Portlander, de veloped his swimming abilities at an early age. When he was 13, he captured first place honors in the three-mile Oswego Marathon. He later won the state 100-yard free style championship for swimmers 16 years of age or younger. Trzynka earned four swim ming letters at Longview High and later swam for the Oregon State Frtosh. He swam for Ore gon last year. Kotoshirodo is from Honolulu, which also is the home of Hargrave, Nishimoto, and Santos. He earned two swimming letters at the Uni versity of Hawaii and also set the Hawaiian Interscholastic record for the 100-yard breaststroke. He is a freestyler and an individual medley swimmer as well. Coach Borchardt has two capable distance candidates, Jim Allan and Gordon Edwards. Allan holds the Idaho records for the 100 and 220 yard freestyle events. He was one of the key men in the 39-33 Frosh triumph over the Varsity in last year’s Varsity-Frosh encounter. Edwards, a state prep cham pion from Lincoln of Portland, also participated in the 1950 Var sity-Frosh meet. In that contest, he set an all-time Oregon Duck ling record in the 440-yard free style by finishing in 5 minutes and 9.3 seconds. Coach Borchardt’s splashers will meet Oregon State, Idaho, and Washington State at Eugene and then will travel to Corvallis to meet the Beavers again, to Seattle for a meet with Washington, and back to Seattle for the Northern Division Meet on March 10. ♦ ♦ ♦ The local Oregon-Oregon State clash will be February 3, while the Idaho and WSC meets will follow February 9 and 10. Although Oregon State Swim ming Coach Red Flood couldn’t ask for a more appropriate handle, he could petition for better swimmers. The Beavers haven’t defeated' Ore gon since 1938. When they enter their first first meet ,the Ducks will be seek ing their 20th consecutive victory over the Beavers since that 1938 de bacle. During the past 19 Duck-Bea ver meets, Oregon scored 1,116 points while the Corvallis boys were tallying only 340.
