*DcCC& '7'ltlC&4 aMHMaMM_HaiaaMHI By Joint WUUty At Hayward Held this Saturday, Oregon's track team will renewed its thirty five year rivalry with the Washington Husk " '• * riv*lry w^ich has seen the men from the north seize 21 of the M meets held between the two teams, while the Web foots have won only II. l-'rom the looks of things, it appears that the Ducks have c|ttite a ways to go before they can even the count with Hec Kd mtindson’s men of the Purple and (.old. Meet Should Be Close \\ lien the meet begins at I :30 this Saturday, it will be next to impossible to predict which of the two squads will return to the dressing rooms with a victory under its belt. A run down of the individual events will indicate the probable close ness of the meet. In the sprint events, the 100 yard dash and the 220, Oregon should take both first and second in both races, with Bill Fell and Jerry Mock placing in that order. Fell ran a 9.7 century at the Willamette Relays last weekend, and it looks as if he will . be in top form for this meet. In the quarter mile race, it look- as if the Huskies will take .'is point-, with Oregon getting second place and receiving t' lee. Oregon ha no lettennen in this event, and it will be up to Sophomore led Anderson and Doug Clement, a fresh man, to carry the mail for the Duck . Hutchins Picked in Half Mile In the halt mile, Senior lack Hutchins, a two-vear ietterman should win the event for the Wcbioots, with Washington tak ing second and Al Martin of Oregon, a sophomore, finishing in third. Result, Oregon six points, Washington three. I he mile run must be rated as a to-.- up, but in view of the fact that the meet is to be held in hugene, the edge goes to Oregon distance man Fred Turner, who will be traveling over familiar ground. Freshman Wayne Rei-er should win the two-mile marathon for < h'egon, but it looks as if the other two places will go to the Huskies. Washington, with Morris and Wedenfeldt, should take first and second spots in both the low' hurdles and the highs, to pick up 16 points, while the Webfoots will probably glean only two counters from these events. The high jump will probably go to Washington, through the efforts of Wedenfeldt. but second and third places cannot be predicted. Chuck Phillips and Walt liadorek will be two of the ()regon men in the event. McClure Vs. Wedenfeldt 'I he broad jump should be a lively contest between the talented \\ edenfeldt for Washington and ()regon’s consistent 2d-foot juniper, Don McClure. This event could go either way. On the basis of performances this season, Washington may very well sweep all nine points in the shot-put event. Chet Noe, the Webfoots' top man in the shot, may dislodge one of the Husky putters, however. Another nine points may go to Washington in the discus, also. None of Oregon’s platter-throwers have lettered in the event, and there is little likelihood that any of the Ducks will place in the top three. Oregon Has Good Vaulters Chuck Missfeldt, Oregon’s All - American javelin tosser, - should take first in his event, but the other two places are in doubt. Sophomore Brian Weddell may pick up a point in this - event. Oregon is very strong in the pole vault, with Ed Robison, . Ray Packwood, and Russ Mannex all capable of clearning 13 feet. All of these three placed in the Willamette Relays last « week, as did Ken Higgenbottom, a freshman. > A- things stand right now, it appears that the meet will be * verv close right down to the final event, the relay, which might * decide the final outcome of the afternoon’s proceedings. State Tourney Recap To return to basketball once more, the Athletic News Bureau, under the direction of Art Litchman, has issued its report of the * 34th Annual Class “A” High School Basketball Tournament, and a number of interesting fact have been brought to light. For instance. Swede Halbrook, Lincoln high school’s seven - foot center and an all-state selection, poured 79 field goals and 12 free throws through the hoops at McArthur Court during the tourney, for a total of 166 points in four games. This gives big Wade an average of 41.5 points per game, which is higher than the previous record for points scored in a single game. Needless to say, Coach Jim Partlow’s Lincoln Cardinals took the championship, defeating the pre-tournament favorites, Cen ». tral Catholic, in the finals. Third place went to still another ’ Portland team, Cleveland, while Marshfield of Coos Bay finish ed fourth and Salem received the.filth place trophy. Phi Delts Beat Phi Psi; Sigs, Cherney Triumph By Doug White In Wednesday's intramural soft ball action, two games were played in which the final outcome was in doubt until the last moment, while ; 'n two other contest# the wdnners ' held comfortable margins. In the two closer games Phi Dcl : ta Theta eked out a 6 to 5 tri 1 irnph over Phi Kappa Pai; and Cherniy hall defeated French hall ' h.y a H to 6 count. In the more lop sided affairs Minturn hail downed Alpha hall 10 to 2 and Sigma Chi shut out Delta Upsilon 7 to 0. Phi Delta Win The Phi Delt-Phi Pai fracas waa iaat on the agenda of Wednesday's games, but as things turned out, it proved to be the most exciting. T he Kincaid St. crew opened up j the scoring in the bottom half of the second inning when they push ed across four unearned runs. The uprising was sparked by Perry’s ringing two-bagger. Down but not yet out, the Phi Psis came back in the top half of the third inning with three tallies. Don Johnson’s two run triple was the big blow in this rally. After Phi Delta Theta waa held scoreless in the home half of the third, their opponents picked up another, the tying run to bring the count to 4 apiece. The fifth and final stanza saw Wayne Ballantyne get on base via the four-ball route, and reach i second on a Phi Delt error. He then scored as Johnson again came through with a base hit. This put I the Phi Psis ahead by one run, but their lead was short-lived, as an aroused Phi Deit club came from behind to score two runs and win tiie ball game. “Spider” Farnum got an 'Annie Oakley,’ went to second on a pass'd ImM, stole third and scored on Bud Covey’s beautiful hu:;t. Covey, too. reached third base anil minutes later scored when Pitcher Ceee Clay l>cat out a slow roller to short. For the winning Phi Delta Clay ; took credit for the triumph while Bowling Scores Mixed doublet* bowling scores: League three: Troeu and Troeh 2, Ittlea and Kckstmm 2: Moore and Graham 3, Goodard and Keekman I; Allen and N'aapi 4, Butz and Ireland 0. League four: Cannon and Can non 3, Cosart and Heestand 1; Williams and Thompson 4, Lowry and Knglund 0; Hande and Hamil ton 3, Flnzer and Shaw 1; Dona hue and Theriault 2, Ryan and Kaumohl 2. High series: Loe N'aapi 578, George Troeh 532. High games: N'aapi 213, and Troeh 208. JV's Play Eugene (Continued from page four) few sessions and his timing is poor at bat, but he has all of the physical qualifications to be a good baseball player. Clean up hatter Bob Wagner will hold down the first base posi tion. l’aul Byhres and Jim John son will hold down the keystone corner again. Bill Loch will get the nod as starter at third base, but he will no doubt be replaced by Gene Duncan at some point during the game. Duncan has been hitting better than Loch, but Loch is by far the smoother fielder. Outfield Is Strong Neil Marlett of Lincoln high in Portland will start in right field. Londahl expects big things from the big bat of Marlett and to morrow may be his day. Jim Spiekerman, who has looked good in the outfield will start in center and big Jim Tennyson will hold down the right field berth. Tenny son was instrumental in the win against Eugene earlier this season as he hit three for four, one of which was a triple. This game with Eugene high tomorrow will be the last contest for the JVs before they meet the OSC JVs, unless they are able to schedule a game with Springfield high for Saturday. Hal Lemons was hung with the loss. In another close one between two freshman dorms, Cherney hall took the measure of French hall 8 to 6. Bob Hinman handled the pitching chores for the winners while Jim Stuart took the loss. i p (<> the third inning the game was closely played, Cherney gar nering two in both the first and second stan/.us, and French push ing across four tallies in the sec ond. After French got another run in the top of the third inning, Cherney nahhed four big runs to einch the victory. Hinman started the .show with a base on bails. He was then follow ed by a booming triple off the bat of Chuck Springer. An error sand wiched between singles by Chris tensen and Scoville netted another three runs for the victors. The next inning saw French register a harmless run. Jim Calderwood ar.d his Sigma Chi teammates made short work of the boys from Delta Upsilon House. The Senior Sig gave up only two hits as lie blanked the DUs 7 to 0. George Johnson took ! the rap for the losers. Sig-1)1' Game Close At Start Things were fairly quiet for the first few innings until the Sigs garnered four big counters that put them in the lead once and for all. The hitting spark was fur nished by Stu Richardson, Dick Petzoldt, Doug Rogers and pitcher Calderwood. The performance of Sigma C'hi definitely puts them in a con tending position for league leader ship. The last contest on Wednesday’s slate took place between Alpha hall and Mintum hall. Displaying the same form that won them the IM football crown, and put them in the championships for basket ball, the boys from Mintum turn ed on the gas in the early innings and kept things hot for the Alphas | all during the contest. Minturn chucker, Gene Hilfiker was superb as he gave up only two hits in the whole game. These two blows, by Gene O'Brien and ; Eddie Wah respectively, came in the last half of the first inning and accounted for both of the 1 losers' runs. Wah took the loss for Alpha.
