"Duck 07,tac6& By Ma/UUt Meadow*, I lie bright, sunny spring weather which has been in evidence all term .seems to have imbued most members of the Oregon coaching staff with an unusual amount of optimism regarding their re.-pective chances in the Northern Division spring sports schedule. As a matter of fact, no less than three of the coaches have stated outright, in unprecedented fashion, that they have high hopes of finishing at or near the top in conference competition. So far only the track squad has demonstrated championship potential, while insufficient results in the other sports prevents any judgments from being made right now. 'I aking each one separately, let us begin with tennis. Karlv in the season Coach Boh Laurence declared that he had a strong team which could possibly end Washington’s long domination of the net game. Then Bill Rose and Raul Willey turned up temporarily ineligible for the Ducks’ only pre-conference match, which they dropped by a 9-0 count to Portland's Multnomah \thlctic Club. « Tennis Team Looks Promising However, Rose is expected t<> he in the Wehfoot lineup when Oregon opens its ND play against Oregon State at Corvallis this Saturday. I his newcomer, along with Jack Neer and letter men Turn MacDonald, Don Xerass, and Xeil George, should provide enough depth to defeat the Aggies, who did not win a single set last Saturday against Washington. In golf, Coach Sid Milligan is similarly confident of a suc cessful spring. The Duck divoters thus far have a 2-0 record, their latest victory being a 17-10 affair over a powerful Port land U. team. The Wehfoot roster includes such veterans as Bob Atkinson and Ron Clark, and backed by King Shanks, Don Krieger, Fred Mueller, and Bud Cross. Turning to track. Bill Bowcnnan has admitted his men are contenders. Also, his fellow coaches in the league put him on the spot early by rating Oregon as the top crew in the ND. This forecast has been made to look good as far as dual meet competition is concerned. The Duck cindermen have chalked up cln-r wins over their two strongest opponents, Washington and Washington State, and should have an easier time with their remaining foes, Idaho and Oregon State. Bowerman Needs Discus Man However, the NI) tournament, to be held at Pullman on May lb, will probably be as close as Stack Deck 5 on a hot afternoon and the Oregon* will have to be at their best to cop the meet. Powerman could use, among other items, a competent discus thrower, but you can't have everything. The Ducks are strong in the sprints, mile, mile relay, and javelin, and if Emery Barnes, Hay Packwood, Don McClure, and Wayne Reiser can come through in their events, Oregon will be hard to beat in the finale. 'Phe N’D baseball standings places the Webfoots at the head of the list, thanks to two wins over the Washington State Cou gars. The Idaho squad also had a hand in this, boosting Ore gon to the top by splitting a pair .of contests with Washington at Seattle. baseball i earn locks ntcnmg ueptn Diamond boss Don Kirsch expects his team to be in the struggle for the title, but all the XD entries seem evenly bal anced and it should be a dogfight to the final game. Kirsch has the batting power, as demonstrated by the 28 runs scored by the Ducks last weekend, but lacks enough first-line hurlers. Don Sicgmund, a prize southpaw, is the mainstay of the • mound corps, with Bill Bottler right behind. Other starters will be chosen from among Norm Forbes, Bill Mays, and Stan i Anne. The latter gained credit for Oregon’s 13-inning decision over WSC last Saturday. Karl Averill, Duck third baseman, apparently was waiting for the start of league play to show why he was chosen to the [ College All-American baseball aggregation last year. Karl I slammed three homers in the two-game series, including one with the bases crammed, and accounted for a total of 12 RBI’s. ’ Bullet Pegs by Bottler Catcher Ron Bottler also came up with heads-up perform ances. the outstanding ones of which were his bullet-like throws which twice nipped enemy runners on the bases to forestall 1 WSC threats. lie also contributed a home run to the first game Web foot attack. The next league action will take place in Eugene today and Thursday when the heavy-hitting Vandals conclude their Will amette Valley swing with a two game series. Oregon pitchers will have to be sharp to halt the Vandals, who outslugged OSC, 16-15, Monday. A footnote on the Hayward Relays of last weekend: Med ,ford's Black Tornado, which won the annual high school 'classic; has entered the meet eleven times, and has compiled the fabulous record of eight first place finishes and three seconds.
