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.”
