The chances are greater for two of these eight, because they
were double winners last season and thus can repeat in one of
these events.
Davis Was Double Winner
I lie pair consists of Jack Davis of USC and George Brown of i
I'VI.A. Davis won both the high and low hurdles races last'
year, ami later went on to win the XCAA crown in the high
hurdles.
currently has the best time posted in both events this
season. Brown posted a victory in last season's PCC meet in;
the broad jump, and last Saturday turned out a 26’ 1” broad,
jump effort at the West Coast relays at Fresno. He also tied for;
the 1951 PCC 220 yard dash championship, but this season
trails teammate Ron Richards in ihat event.
Another athlete who will have trouble repeating as champion
is John Bradley of USC, last season's 440 yard dash titlcist.
However, Bradley is having trouble with one of 1iis teammates,
sophomore Jim Lea, who has beaten him this season. Also
against him w ill be such outstanding performers as (Iregon’s
Ted Anderson.
And certainly the 1951 co-w inners of the high jump event I
wdl have trouble; George Widenfelt of Washington and Kric
Roberts of WSC tied for the title with a height of six feet.
■ five inches.
Emery Will Be Ready
bight here in hugene we have the young man who topped
that mark by three inches just Saturday against the Oregon
State Beavers. This is big Ivtnery Barnes, and he will be ready
to go May 25 and 24 for the PCC contest. At least the army
does not plan to take him before then.
Also brilliant in the high jump event this season have been
USC jumpers Dick Bromback and Manuel Ronquillo, who lead
Widenfelt and Roberts by two inches in the list of best per
formers for the 1952 season.
Lyle Dickey of Oregon State College, who shared the 1951
championship has another potent pair of USC stars to contend
- with. They are Leroy Cox and A1 Sandusky. Also, Oregon’s
Ray Pack wood may be in the race if he performs in the manner
of which he is capable. Currently, Dickey’s 13' 10” jump is the
best in the conference to date.
O'Brien Favored Again
Shotputter Parry O’Brien of USC has continued his effective
. shot work, and thus will be favored to win the crown again.
Last Reason Stanford’s Bob Mathias won the discus honors,
but will have to defeat an old Tulare high school teammate,
Sim Iness of USC. Iness has thrown the platter 182 feet this
year.
r It seems like a long time ago, the 1948 Olympics, but four
( athletes competing in the PCC meet also operated in the 1948
games.
a Four Different Nations
i Mathias, of course, won the Olympic decathalon crown while
competing for the United States. The other three contributed
their talents to other nations. Widenfelt performed for Sweden,
Oregon's Jack Hutchins for Canada, and Peter Mullins of
Washington State for Australia.
Three NCAA champions will compete in the meet, these
being Davis in the high hurdles, Brown in the broad jump, and
Webfoot Chuck Missfeldt in the javelin.
Missfeldt finished third in the javelin Saturday at the West
* Coast relays in Fresno, with a throw of 219’ 1". His teammate
. Bill Fell, however, did not run in the 100 yard dash, due to a
pulled leg muscle.
- Big Crew Race Coming
We see by the papers where the University of Washington
- crew is preparing for the big meet with California Saturday.
It’s too bad Oregon does not have a crew team.
- We could compete with the Huskies to get the top stroke
oars graduating from Oregon high schools. Wonder how the
Hjillrace would be for a practice spot? It must be good for
something else besides dunking freshman girls at tug-of-wars.
