Although Oregon fans may have been surprised at the knowl
(•(Ijm' that versatile Jack Smith i- an outstanding prospect in four
• tack events (low hurdles, broad jump, high jump, and the
sprints), they may have been additionally confused when they
learned that Jack Smith is a I)uck varsitv baseball catcher who
also might sec outfield duty during his spare time.

Smith, an all-staler from Eugene
High, hammered the hone-hide at a
..'{00 clip while playing for the Ore
gon Kroah In 19-10, and he was one
of Coach Kitsch's outstanding re
ceived laat Hprlng.
Jack M. Smith, a Florence lad,
Han the leautlng sprinter on the
strong 1949 Duckling track squad
and also was outstanding at the
low hurdles and the hroad jump.
Now- he is also trying the high
jump, but another versatile ath
lete, Emery Barnes, should provide
strong competition in tills event.
Barnes, a second team all-state
prep basketball selection for Jeff'-r
aon High in 1948, also performed for
Coach Jim Aiken’s 1950 grid aggre
gation and is now participating in
spring football practice.
However, when the subject of ver
satile eindermen is under considera
tion, the name of the great Gay
Bryan inevitably enters the conver
sation.
Bryan reached his collegiate
peuk last spring while porform
ing for the Stanford Indians, who
took second place In tin* NCAA
Alert. Bryan personally scored 25
points in the Stunfnrd-Cf I,A
dual meet us he took first In the
100, 220, l20-\ard high hurdles,
broad jump, and high jump.
He is also a proficient 220yard
low-hurdler and 440-yard sprinter.
In addition, he was a member of
Stanford’s mile relay squad. Bryan
holds the Stanford-UCLA Meet
record for the 220-yard dash 121
secondsi and the broad jump (25
feet, 4.75 inches).
Bryan graduated last spring, so
he won’t be around to worry Coach
Jess Hill’s mighty USC Trojans.
Ineidentally, only I SC stood
between the 1950 Stanford squad
and an undefeated season. The In
dians placed first in four meets
and second in four others. I SC
was first in the latter four en
counters.
The Trojans edged the Indians in
the Pacific Const Conference Meet,
the NCAA Meet, and the West
Coast Relays. The undefeated Men
of Troy also downed Stanford in a
dual meet, scoring 95 5/6 points to
Stanford’s 35 1 6.
Southern California, the Notre
Dame of collegiate track, has taken
ten consecutive PCC titles and has
captured first place in almost half
of the annual NCAA championship
meets.
When the powerful Trojuns
routed UCLA 120-11 last May,
they were rolling to I heir I8lh
straight triumph over the Bruins,
who have never defeated their
Ix>s Angeles rivals.
The Trojans ascended to their
present position of national cinder
domination under the famous Dean
Cromwell, who now coaches Amer
ican Olympic performers.
Since Cromwell left, Trojan track
fortunes have been in the hands of
Jess Hill, who recently was ap
pointed to Southern Cal's vacant
head football coaching position,
which means that he might be
busier than Jack Smith, or Emery
Barnes. Hill has a steep future.
Coaches lead interesting lives.

Dixie's four years at Idaho fea
tured 13 wins, 20 setbacks, and 1
tie. Such a record might be greeted
with bursts of unenthusiasm by the
alumni of Notre Dame or Michigan,
but the Idaho fans can hardly com
plain about losing seasons.

Coach Howell suffered a major
setback during the 1949 season.
After he stated that the team was
"one of Idaho's best football squads
in years,” his gridders won only
three games and finished in ninth
place in the Pacific Coast Confer
ence.
Although their smashing 79-0
rout of Willamette University in
the season’s opener provided a
fairly successful start, the Van
dals then dropped a 41-0 decision
to the Oregon Ducks, took e. 56-7
drubbing at the hands of the
Texas Longhorns, and later clos
ed the season with a 63-0 loss to
Stanford.
The Howolling of the wolves in
creased. The latest season, also un
satisfactory, provided the coup de
grace.
Coach Jim Aiken's Duck grid
ders will probably flash some dazzl
ing bursts of speed during the 1951
campaign. Bill Fell, a 100-yard dash
champion, is back in action at right
half and apparently has not been
slowed down by his leg injury suf
fered last fall.
Ted Anderson, a prep state cham
pion sprinter from Newport, is a
candidate for the left half posi
tion, while Leroy Campbell, play'
ing at left end in the spring practice
sessions, holds the national junior
college 220-yard dash champion*
ship.
