When Hill I•'«* 11 <leci<11-«1 to abdicate his Northern Division
sprint throne it paved the way for Merv Brock, sophomore
speedster from Oregon State, to step in and make hay. The
Beaver speedster has left little doubt that he plans to do just
that in sweeping the sprints in both OSC division meets to
date. That lie hasn’t exactly been breezing is attested to by the
fact that in each meet, first against Idaho and Saturday against
\\ ashington, Brock has set or lied a record.
Against the Vandals, he showed the field the backs of bis
spikes in winning with a 9.6 effort, a new meet record. Against
the Huskies, Brock toured the 220 in 21.9, tying the Bell Field
mark set 14 years ago by Bud Shoemaker of Oregon. In the cen
tury. though he evidently was not pushed too hard as he went
the route in 10 flat.
Oregon's Hand Is Still In There
^Of course, Oregon still lias Jerry Mock, who also turned in a
double win a week hack as the I lucks were getting bounced 74
to 57 by Washington. Ills time in the 220 was 21.9, the same in
which Brock covered the distance in tying the Bell Field mark.
This pair. Mock and Brock (somebody ought to compose a poem
here), look like the class of the division.
Elsewhere on the cinder front, we see where Southern Cal’s
Trojans romped to their 40th straight track victory Saturday
in a triangular dual with Illinois and Michigan of the Big Ten.
Rising to prominence under the seemingly ageless Dean Crom- ,
well, the Trojans have become such a fixture at the top of the
track heap that the competition now is for second place. In the
Saturday meet, incidentally, Illinois’ great pole-vaulter, Don j
Laz. scored 15 feet, inches for a new outdoor college record, j
Some jumpin’.
Don Kirsch’s baseball Webfoots, after five days at the top of
the Northern Division pile, put their leadership up for grabs to
day when they take on Buck Bailey’s Washington State nine on
111>we Field. The Cougars can t get the lead by beating the I lucks,
of course, but rather ()regon State’s Beavers stand to be the w in
ners if the defending champions should succeed in upsetting ()re
gon, which is now riding a four-game winning streak.
Good Pitching Helps Ducks
A week ago, thi< column wondered whether or not the Oregon |
win over Portland V. the Saturday previous had put the Ducks
on the winning track. Apparently it did. They promptly went to
work and disposed of Idaho with two neat pitching performances
1>v Mel Krause and Stan Aune. They then came back Saturday to
paste the much-touted but disappointing Archer Blowers from
Portland, 6-3. Jim Hantis turned in a masterful shutout pitching
job for six innings before he was lifted to give Curt Barclay his
first crack at enemy hitters.
^ Barclay fared not quite as well as Hanns during his three inn
ing stint, but was more the victim of his own wildness and some
weird fielding support than of hefty slugging by the Blowers,
last year’s state semi-pro champion. The big sophomore
was missing often with his fast ball, but more than compen
sated with a sweeping curve which drove batsmen away from
the plate time after time only to break in and over.
Rav Coley, last year's shortstop who was benched in favor
or hard-hitting Joe Tom during the Idaho series, come back
to the lineup with a bang. He lined one down the left field line
fur two bases and lifted another one high and far into right cen
ter which went for a double when the center fielder failed to
come up with the hall in a diving try. The fielding gem of the
afternoon was turned in by third baseman Nick Sehmer, whose
diving stab of a line driv e to his left set up a double play which
got Barclay out of a serious hole in the eighth.
Huskies Coming to Town
In addition to the Cougar series, Oregon will take on C\ ashing
ton in a pair of division contests on l'riday and Saturday. I he
Huskies’ hopes for a baseball crown to wear with their basket
ball diadem received a jolt in the second game with \\ SC. Satur
day when the Cougars kept the scorer busy as they romped to an
11-6 win. ’I bis gave the Huskies an evn split in what were the
division openers for both nines.
In other action this week, Bill Bowerman s trackmen will be
seeking their first division dual meet victory when they go
against Idaho Saturday. The \ andal cindcrmen arc all even after
two tries, topping OSC in their opener and then bowing to \\ ash
ington State last Saturday. The varsity tennis team will engage
Portland U. and Oregon State Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Ho w to Keep Comfortable—By the Hawaiians
Hawaiian students at Oregon
have a civilization all their own.
Minturn Hall islanders with their
ingenious ways of inventing new
techniques for comfort and plea
sure, put mainland oldtimers to
shame.
Witness their attempts at ‘‘re
frigeration." While most Webfoots
are content to eat and drink be
tween-meal snacks in a warm con
dition, the Hui-O-Kamaaina fans
get a litttle “chill" in their food by
leaving the prospective meal in
their outdoor “refrigerators.”
Their method of refrigeration is
simple. The article to be kept cool
is first placed in a glass or metal
container. Said container, complete
with contents, is then attached to
a string'. The string is attached to
the bedpost and the container and
contents are lowered down from
the window several feet.
What happens? If the container
has been lowered from a shady side
window, its contents are kept cool
and refrigerated. If the window
isn’t on the shady side, two alter
natives are possible. The cool-head
ed individual with aspirations for
a cool snack finds someone who
has a shady window or waits until
the sun takes a breather.
The situation presents quite a
picture on a moderately warm
April day. From one window hangs
a bottle of tomato juice. Another
window sports a pint of ice cream*
From a third window dangles &.
loaf of bologna.
Food isn't the only thing around
Minturn Hall that's attached t*
a string. As in many of the mens’
living organizations on campus,
the rubber ball attached by
string or rubber band to a ping
pong paddle that is stretched and
unstretehed by the typical kinder
garten tot is quite popular now.
Sometimes called “one-man ping
pong,” the sport provides several
complications. Visitors turning
corners are subjected to meeting
up with a flying ball that hastily
boomerangs back to the hands ot
its owner.
