“Duck By Jim HayCOX Coach John Borchardt st.-rts his aqua-ducks off for the 1952 season as one of Oregon’s most promisiong swimming brigades possibly the best—in the schools history. Some rather large holes need to be filled this year to make the team stand up to last year's aggregation. Apparently, however, those holes are going to be filled. And as usual, the Hawaiian boys will play no small part. Borchardt will have, as his assistant swimming coach this year 1’ete Van Dijk (pronounced dike) who last year burnt up the northern circuit with his paddling efforts. Pete, who used up Ids one year eligibility, probably knows almost as much about the swimming trade as Borchardt, which is saying quite a bit. \ an I)ijk, incidentally, holds two ^varsity swimming letters from Cornell university. He lettered there in 1946 and 1947 at the age of 16. Oregon Second in '51 , ^llu<’ the 'var> tlie Oregon varsity has, with one exception, a reservation on the third place spot. The exception was that I >51 team. 1 hey finished a good, hut not particularity strong second against the University of Washington. This pear they well may do better poinlwi-c hut first place it yould he something of a miracle against the Huskies. There's a reason, two or three of them to he asact. \\ ashington has three things Oregon doesn't have ... a lot of money, a big pool and depth in numbers. All this phis three All-Americans: I’etc Salmon, I lick Magnuson and Merril I lodge Washington should stay on top all right. Ducks Saps Ducats To coin an already overused phrase, its no secret Oregon Boesn’t have as much money (legal money) for grants-in-aid Or athlete’s work projects as she would like to have. It’s also no secret the university has an inadequate, to say the least, Swimming plant. Built somewhere back in the twenties, the building has poor ventilation, an unreliable chlorination sys tem and, most important, it is too small. There isn’t room enough for the whole team to work out at the same time. As to the matter of depth, the university won't probable for i long time, be able to match Washington. The three aforementioned factors should keep tis well below the Washington strength. Last years Northern Division Cham pionship meet in Seattle is a good example of how size works to advantage. Huskies Enter Full Team Washington entered four men in practically every scheduled j\cnt; Oregon could usually muster only two. The final score: Washington, 165; Oregon 75; WSC, 66; OSC, 19; Idaho, IS. 1 he situation is similar to a track meet. A lot of thirds, fourths jod fifths with a few firsts and seconds will win you almost ibi\ meet. As it turned out, Washington could have probablv done it even without a couple of her “big three.” But says Oregon’s varsity, “We’ll be better this year." Owing to the freshman ruling, the Ducks will have some additional depth. Another reason is that this year’s team shows amazing variety, many fellows being able to swim at least two events.

I he game between SAE, a perennial volleyball power, and (toll n rr n .. ....... .M l L J finest played this season. Both teams showed splendid offensive power but their defense lacked the polish and finish displayed offen sively. SAE was sparked to their win by Bob White and Mike Kittredge, both of whom are outstanding spikers. The Delta played their best in the first game as they downed SAE 15 to 9. Not to be outdone, the SAE squad came! back to edge the Delta 15 to 11 in the second game. SAE continued! to roll and thoroughly trounced the Delta 15 to 0, and took the match 2 to 1.

Prep Champs Determined as Season Ends The lineup for the closing; rounds of Oregon’s class "A" football campaign the championship play offs were lacking only four dis trict champions today with the first playoff round in the show down for the state's elite 16 only a week away. The four contested berths in the prep picture will be filled by next Monday. Decisions Soon Complete All but two district kingpins have been named in both division of “A" play and crucial games over the weekend will either de cide the remaining champions or dump the issue in the laps of dis trict committees, which have the final say in the case of ties. Kegular ‘ha son schedules for schools grind to a close over the weekend with many traditional spicing the program. But of prime Interest will be four games, that in each case could decide a district champion. The hotly contested District Eight toga will be at stake when Corvallis High’s injury-plagued Spartans meet the off-and-on Bull dogs of Albany Saturday at Al bany. Corvallis, Bend and Salem i were all very much in the title scramble. Corvallis, with a 3-1 mark in district play, including a win over Bend, must beat Albany to stay in the running with Bend, which finished district action with a 4-1 mark. Salem, victor over Cor vallis, was beaten by Bend for a 3-1 record. Committees May Act If Albany takes Corvallis, the crown would go to Bend. But a Corvallis victory would leave the decision up to committee, thus once beaten Salem enters the picture. The other decisive division one game is in District Five where Marshfield, unbeaten in three dis trict games, meets North Bend with a 2-1 district mark, Saturday at Cos Bay. The Pirates could j clinch the banner with a win, or create a three-way tie with a loss j and put the vote up to committee.! Ftoseburg was trounced 48-0 by the Pirates for its only district defeat in four tries. “Quick Death” Coming In division two, Kainier and Col umbia Prep will stage a quick death battle for the District One bunting Friday in Portland. Vale, unbeaten District Seven leader, plays Ontario. A Vale victory j would assure the nomination, but a loss would tie with Nyssa, a 1-1 ' club in district play.
