‘Duc6'*?iac6& &¥ (Mh A major difficulty which conics up in any track meet, dual or otherwise, is one of administration and organization. If the meet isn i properly scheduled and officiated, with each event being run when it is scheduled, the whole thing turns into a shambles. \\ ebfoot I rack ( oach Hill Ihnvcrman had always been noted for his elliciency in organizing a good track meet good from the standpoint that it begins and ends when it is supposed to begin and end. hast week s \\ illamette Relays in Salem were reportedly well “nm "n " Considering that literally hundreds of athletes par ticipated. the meet is a feather in the bat of the administrators. Husky Team A Sleeper 'I lit- Webfoots hit tin big one this weekend. I'niversity of \\ asbmgton's Huskies, generally strong in any sport, usually bear out that statement in track. Words from the north about Husky cindermen are few and in cjjitspicious so far. Hut Seattle papers have been giving some space to Her Kdniundson’s boys. The space follows the “weepy jones" type of space. “The boy- just don't have it this year . . . etc ... so forth and so on.” 'I rack and field followers here in Kitgene got a laugh for at lea-t a smile) not long ago when results of a Washington time trial workout were published on Seattle sports pages. K’fsnlt- of the trials, according to the Seattle papers, were «nough to make Kdmundson - olde-t ancestor- spin in their graves. The general comment in Seattle was something like. "Mv. my ! Mr. b.dmundson and his young men certainly did not look like a track coach and track athletes during this trial.” Some of the results, or the reported results, will give you an idea of what they were crying about. The 100-yard dash was run in, over 10 seconds. I hat’s poor ev en for that early in the season. Most other events showed equally poor results. Hut there’s a reason for that, the hugene fans speculate. It you ve even been in the Husky stadium, you’ll notice that the wind blows the length of it, and very seldom across it. It would be easy to run most of the track events against the wind. The boys would get just a- much of a workout, but still record unhappy times (unhappy to Washington fans who knew not the reason and happy to fans of other schools). Duck Pre-season Results Good (fregon s pre-season results hav e on the other hand been good. The I )ucks are w eak in a few events, of course. These include the pole vault and the high hurdles. In distance, Oregon can be con sidered strong. The two-mile, mile and 880-yard are well stocked on the I )uck squad. Track meets aren’t any more predictable than any other sport c\ cut. So w ho knows w hat Washington will do against the Web iTbts. We don’t have enough material about the Huskies to feel safe in making predictions, or even estimates, of the outcome, Hut a> in any sport, lots of things can happen. And tliev probably will. Webfoot quarterback Hal Dunham is getting coaching now from the statistical master of them all—Norm Van Brocklin, cx Ifuck quarterbacking great and quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams. With help from Van plus natural development, Dunham is expected to come a long way before next fall. Student Trapped Talked to a student of Pacific University (Forest Grove) Sun day after Saturday’s Willamette Relays. This guy had been on the field when Chuck Missfeldt made his record-breaking 225 foot plus javelin throw. ‘'I was returning the discus for Oregon’s I!ob Anderson," the PIT man said, “and happened to glance away for a minute. The javelin throwers were behind me, but of course far enough away so 1 had little fear of being speared.” “At that particular minute Anderson got off a long discuss heave and I heard somebody shout a warning to me. So I looked up and stepped back.” “Just then Charley let go with his record breaker and I heard a^lnid and a twang behind me—close behind me ! I turned around and there was the spear. It was a funny feeling. I wondered if somebody was using a catapault to throw the spear.” The guy was practically trapped between the javelin and dis cus—both being thrown by particularly talented individuals. Toepelman Endorses School Deferment Plan Admitting that "there are bugs in the plan," I>. w. C. Toepelman strongly endorsed the President’s order to defer college students in a press conference in the Student Union Monday. Dr. Toepelman belongs to the staff of the American Council on Education, and represents the sep arated State Universities Associa tion, of which the University of Oregon is a member. He said the major advantage of the plan is that it’s flexible. The problems the plan covers have been studied since 194« by six com mittees, according to Toepelman. "No proposals for scholarships have been made under this plan," he said, “and this wljl be up to Congress." He thought an effort could be made to use more of the scholar ship and loan funds now in exist ence. Toepelman quoted Office of Education figures which show that for every man in college "at least one more could profit by college, but lacks the funds.” He said that even in the event of total war, there will be no ASTP or V-12 training programs’ such as those used in World War II. Regular army facilities are[ used in training enlisted men, and “the army is doing a much better job of placement now," he added. Toepelman explained that when he was in Washington, D. C., two weeks ago. the "eventuality of all out war was fading into the future, but scattered incidents were ex pected.” USA Now Asking Election Petitions Petitioners for nominations for student body and class offices on the United Students Association ticket may submit petitions be yond the deadline stated erroneous ly as Tuesday in Monday's Emer ald.
