"Duck *7,tac6&
By Martin Meadowd
wi\ feet cijjht inches is a lonj* way to ascend into the atmos
tjHcre. I.tit that is exactly what big Emery Harries, Oregon’s
'''Rli jumper ami best since the days of world record holder
*'(-s Steers, accomplished in the Oregon Oregon State meet at
(Corvallis Saturday, won by the Ducks.
The feat becomes even more remarkable when you consider
that Emery’s previous high jump ceiling had been at 6’ 4”,]
which he set against Washington State last month. That indi
cates how rapidly Barnes has been developing this year for
Coach Bill Bowerman.
Emery Can't Explain Spurt
After successfully clearing ft 8” in Saturday's meet, which is
• piite a distance above his height of ft 5)4", Barnes almost
made it at 6 10 on his first attempt. However, tired by his
( I'mg afternoon, lie also tailed on his second and third trie-.
' Hunky I'.mery, a junior in Education, has no explanation to
f,er for his sudden spurt of improvement. Possibly the fact
it u «is a very warm day aided him in setting a new record
his jump. Also, instead of leaving his warm-ups on until
. ejehed about ft 3 , as lu; usuallv does, Barnes changed
ics and took them off when he cleared the bar at -it feet,
n setting a new Bell field mark, topping the old one of
•>"* which dated back to 1940, Barnes employed the western
JH until he reached 6’ 5”, at which time he switched over to
ic belly method. He outdistanced by a full eight inches the!
iree men who tied for second place.
Big Question: Will the ’Army Get Him?
Commenting on his amazing performance, Barnes grinned
and said, " I hat jump should also help me in the Northern Di
' Cion meet next week. Anytime you compete against someone j
who has gone that high, the pressure is heavier than usual.”
I nfirrtunately Emery received hi- draft notice Mondav. His
statu- i- -till uncertain at present, but it is to be hoped that.1
as holder of the best high jump mark on the Pacific Coast this j
sea-on, he will be able to participate in both the Northern Di-1
\ i-ion and Pacific Coast Conference track meets.
Incidentally, a mere technicality kept Walter Davis of Texas
A&M from breaking the world's record of 6' 11” Saturday.
Davis leaped 6’ IOV2”, one-half inch short of the standard cur
rently held by Oregon’s aforementioned Les Steers since 1941.
Davis actually went over at 6’ 11i/2" but the rules, which
provide for measurement from the highest point of take-off, I
chopped a full inch off of Davis’ jump. However, he did estab
lish a new Southwest conference mark, breaking the old one of j
c> 8J6".
Kirsch Juggles Pitchers
Head Baseball Coach Don Kirsch’s strategy on the first!
three games of the Duck squad - six-game tour last week seems I
to have paid off. Apparently Kirsch's policy was to use several
pitchers in each game and thus avoid tiring any one luirler.
Three Webfoot moundsmen saw action in the first game,
which Oregon won by 6-4 over Idaho. Bill Mays, who pitched
the 10th and 11th innings, gained credit for the victory. The
second game with Idaho was rained out and as per ND rules,
cannot be made up.
Tn the opening contest with W'SC, the Ducks traveled 1C
innings to defeat Buck Bailey's Cougars by a 4-2 count. Mays
again entered as a reliever, although Bill Bottler, third of four
Webfoot pitchers, chalked up the win. Bottler went 2 2/3 in
nings before being spelled by Mays, who struck out the final
batter to end the game.
ND Race Is Two-Team Battle
The final tilt in the Inland Empire saw Kirscli parade five
Ducks to the hill, despite the fact that the Cougars scored only
two runs. Oregon came out on top, 3-2, with a ninth-inning
counter. This time the winner was San Anne, who worked the
6th, 7th, and 8th stanzas. Once more Mays entered the fray in
the ninth to protect the Duck lead.
One aspect of the trip has been that all three contests were
marked by late-inning Webfoot rallies which provided the
winning tallies. Oregon also rallied to tie at 4-4 in the first
Washington game Monday, but then lost, 5-4. Mays, as usual,
finished up as relief for starter Don Siegmund.
The ND race has now settled down to a two team battle, and
the flag will hinge on the final four games of the schedule be
tween these two, who are none other than Oregon and OSC, al
though Washington still has an outside chance. It seems al
most certain that Oregon’s rained-out tilt with Idaho will play
an important part in deciding the winner, either one way or the
other.
