By Rick TiYr Honors for the busiest athlete at Saturday’s meet with Wash ington must go to George Widenfelt. The valuable Husky took |).nt in four events composure. He would be getting set for a high jump : ud an impatient broad jump official would bellow "Last call ’r Widenfelt, where is that guy now lie mixed javelin throws with broad jumps, trotting patiently from one event to the other, and practically alternated tries in the high jump and broad jump. After the hurdle event he changed back into his jumping shoes and started out in the high jump with hardly any time to rest. Despite these adverse conditions we noticed a lot of form and polish in every thing he did. characteristic of an athlete who works long and hard to perfect his performance. In reply to the question on how old he was when he started training for track he reflected, "Oh, 1 can t remember, before grade school though.” In short, he has grown up with track. He says he loves every event but his favorite is the high jump. His style is a faultless and graceful scissors. He used his six-foot three frame and powerful legs to perfection as he cleared the bar at close to 6' 5". At the end of this term Widenfelt plans to go home and start training for the 1952 Olympics. This time he will enter the Decathalon for his native country instead of the high jump alone. What Would Mathias Have Done? While on the subject of the Decathalou, let's see what would have happened if the international champion Bob Mathias had been entered in Saturday’s meet here instead of the UCLA Stanford meet in Palo Alto. Theoretically he would have wound up with Hiyj; points. His time of 14.5 in the high hurdles, and 24.4 in the lows top both times made by Morris of Washington, llis discus toss of 165’ 4" is well over the 139’ 1” mark of Loran Perry. He threw the javelin 179' 1" which would have taken second behind Missfehlt. This mark failed to place him in the UCLA meet. His 13 foot pole vault would have given him a tie for second with Eddie Robison. Chances are he would have placed in the broad jump %nd shot put if we carry this mythical situation to its extreme. All this proves nothing but it gives an indication of what the 1952 Decathalou aspirants will have to go up against. Con servative track experts are calling Mathias the greatest athelete in the world. Also, as one sports writer pointed out, Mathias put Stanford in the Rose Bowl. His 90-odd yard kickoff runback for a touch down in the closing minutes of the game with USC virtually cinched the game and the coast conference crown. Camerpman Borcher Saturday’s meet spectators may have wondered what the large individual with the movie camera was doing roving around the infield. It was Bill Borcher taking pictures of the Oregon tracksters in action for Coach Bowerman. It was Borcher's first try at it and he was a hit apprehensive about the results. He covered the field events and a few starts of races and was supposed to* catch close finishes. What Went On Behind the Bleachers? Perhaps one of the inost'tense moments of the afternoon was the final turn of the third lap of the mile relay. Jack Hutchins was trailing Ken Morgan as they disappeared behind the ex asperating south-end football bleachers. Washington tracksters were yelling encouragement thinking Morgan had worn Hutch ins down with his burst of speed on the far stretch. Then the rival pair rounded the turn and “Crafty Jack” was back in the lead. He had saved enough “kick” to take Morgan by surprise on the turn. A good pass put the baton in the capable hands of Ted Anderson and Washington’s Pete Dufour had to watch Ted’s heels for the second time that day.

The Ducklings will go into this con test with two wins to their credit against no losses. Both wins were taken from Eugene high. The Springfield contest will be the last tune-up before the Ducks go into their regular scries with the Oregon State college Junior varsity. Don Delanej* a sophomore, will start on th'e mound for the JV's after a weeks rest. Jim Spieker man will return to his regular cen ter field position. Spiekerman missed the Eugene contest last Thursday due to a stomach dis order. Another possible change in the Duckling line-up is Gene Duncan j for Bill Loch at third base. _ With Spring football practice starting next week Londahl may have trouble filling the backstop position now held down by Don Hedgepeth and Chuck Greenley, who laith intend to go out for foot ball. In case they do. Neal Marlett will be brought in from left field to handle the catching chores. Bob 'Honus' Wagner will handle first and the keystone combination of Paul Byhre and Jim Johnson will be at second and shortstop. Finally, Jim Tennyson will han dle right field along with Spieker man at center-field and probably Marlett at left. The contest will probably go only seven Innings. Coach Lon dahl hopes to be able to play all of the men on the bench as he has been able to do in both Eugene high school games. »■ Baseball Team Closes Pre-ND Slate With Two Wins Over Bearcats B.
