"Duck
... By Martin Meadowi
bor thrills, excitcmrnt, and sheer competition between two
old rivals, the 2(XXJ fans who tinned out for tlie track meet be
tween Oregon and W ashington last Saturday were treated to i
a memorable afternoon. 'I'he b'd/j to (\\y» triumph turned in by i
the W ebfoots was not insured until the final event, when the I
I hick mile relay quartet outraced the lltisky team.
However, despite the dramatic conclusion, Saturday’s affair’
has to take a back scat when compared to the most important
meet to which Eugene has ever played host. This took place
on June 19 of last year, at which time the representatives of
the Pacific Coast Conference won their second straight victory
over selected athletes of the Big Ten
PCC-Big Ten Meet Was Classic
The results of the competition, which saw the I’t'C win it'
seventh decision in eleven trie-, against the Midwesterners,
were highlighted by the setting of two meet records and no less
than nine Hayward Field marks as more than 5000 spectators
viewed some of the best track talent in the country. It is inter
fe ting to compare the times and distances chalked up in the
< >regon-\Yashington meet with those of last spring's classic.
Let us start with the two meet records which were set last
year. In the pole vault, Don Laz of Illinois soared 14' 8 13 16"
to break the old standard of 14’ 6” jointly held by Earle Mead
ows and Bill Sefton of USC since 1937. It was the third
straight such win for Laz in meets between the two leagues.
In contrast, Hay Packwood turned in his best height yet for
Oregon Saturday with a leap of 13’ G1// in winning his event.
'I In second meet record was regi-tered by Stanford’s famed
decathlon ace, Bob Mathias, who brought amazed gasps from
the crowd w ith a heave of I7.V 4" in the discus. This was only
<>me eight feet under the then world’s record held by Italy’s
\do|fo C’onsolini at 1 «S 1 ’ 6 3 X". Loran Perry of Washington
took fit't place Saturday with a mark of 1.19' 1".
The Big Ten gathered points iu both distance events. Ohio
State flash Lon Trues sped to a mile victory in 4:17.4, up
etting Michigan’s Don McKwen in the process. For the Ducks
Suturdax AI Martin finished first with a 4:24.7 clocking. Mc
J'.wen came back to annex the two-mile grind with a field rec
ord of ‘Pl.LS, whereas Denny Myer of the Huskies wound up
in 9:26.8.
Last June vs. Last Saturday
The field high jump standard of Oregon’s Les Steers—1
O' 10bJ—was not threatened in either meet. Washington's i
Swedish ace, fieurge Widenfelt, won last spring with a 6' 6" |
< flort, and repeated Saturday at O' 3 7 8". The broad jumps
saw L'CI.A’s (icorge Brown leap 23' 11” as contrasted with j
Widenfelt’s Saturday distance of 22' 6Vi;".
A negative surprise occurred in the 100-yard dash when
UCLA's Bob Work won in the slow time of : 10.1 due to a,
headwind. Bill Fell’s :10 flat was good for a Duck first in
Saturday's century. Brown, a double winner, captured the 220
in :22, as contrasted with Fell's :22.2 triumph.
*tn the longer sprints, Cirilo McSween, a Panamanian run
ning for Illinois, set a field record by copping the 440 in :48.5,
coin'paVed' with Ted Anderson’s winning'time of :49.5 for the
Webfoots. Another Illinois man, Stacv Siders, came in first
in the 880 with a field record of 1 :54.2. Oregon’s Jack Hutchins
won this in 1:56.8 Saturday.
Field records were also established in both hurdle events,
lack Davis of USC snared the 120-yard highs in : 14.4 and took
the 220-yard lows in :23.4. Washington's Frank Morris won
both of these Saturday, finishing in : 15.5 and :24.9 respectively.
The mass assault on local marks continued when USC's
bulky Parry O'Brien flipped the shot 53' 4 1/3” on his first
attempt. 'Fall Chet Noe of Oregon gained needed points Satur
day with a toss of 40' 9 7/8” to beat out Dean Parsons, former
, Kugeiic High school star.
Several Oregon Products on UW Team
' The mile relay, which was the final event, was a mere
( formality in last year’s meet, but the PCC quartet set another
• field record of 3:16.7 in downing the Big Ten combination. In
the tense relay against the Huskies, the Duck runners came
through with a time of 3:18.6.
No javelin competition was held since the Big Ten does
, not have this event, but in a special exhibition Oregon’s Chuck
" Missfeldt got off a toss of over 227 feet, his best performance of
the year. This compares with his Saturday throw of 209’ 6”.
As a final note on the Oregou-Washington meet, it should be
• mentioned that several former Oregon high school stars per
' formed with notable results, not for the Webfoots but for the
,* Huskies. The outstanding feat was turned in by Frank Morris,
■ ex-Medford luminary, who copped both hurdle races. Other
■ points were picked tip by Eugene's Dean Parsons, who wound
tty-second in the shot and third in the disclis, and by Ashland’s
" Jerry Danger, second in the discus.
