Ducks should be favored to win the meet this Friday ancl Saturday also. Washington Favored Ins Is not the case, however. A summation of the records of the performers for each XI) team reveals that, using the best performance of each athlete as a criterion, the University of Washington must be selected as a favorite to win the XI) cin dcr crown, with Oregon running a fairly close second: The resume of the season’s best marks reveals that if all runs ^true to form this weekend, Washington will end up with 48 ltpoints, Oregon with 42, WSC with 36, Idaho with 18i/2, and ■ ’Oregon State will finish in the cellar with 15i/2 counters. This accounts for 161 out of the 165 possible points, with four points I undecided because of incomplete information on the results of P his year’s dual meets. F, A rundown of the events and the scores assigned to each team show s that Oregon would get eight points in the 100-yard dash, with Jack Smith and Bill hell providing the kick. Smith's , time of '!.(} against DSC last week was the best recording in the I’C’C this year. Fell, Anderson to Place Washington State will win the 220-yard dash if past form “ prevails, with Idaho second and Oregon's Fell placing third. In the 440-yard dash, Oregon's Ted Anderson would he second only to l’ete Dufour of Washington. » In the 880-yard run, Oregon should garner another second , place, with Jack Hutchins pushing Ken Morgan of Washington right down, to the wire. The mile run should also go to Wash ington, with Bob Fornia taking the five points for the Huskies. Phil Matson of WSC has equaled Fornia’s time of 4:19.6 for the distance, but the Washington runner gets the edge because he will be running on familiar ground. Xeil Rader of WSC should seize first place in the two mile, I with his teammate A1 Fisher finishing fourth to give the Cou-! gar.- six points in the long-distance jaunt. Idaho's Bruce; • Sweeney should lead the high-lnirdlers, while Frank Morris, j a former < )regon prep athlete, is heavily favored in the lows. Huskies Strong in Distances i As far as can be seen, the \\ ebfoots have little chance of getting even one point in any of these events. Washington’s edge on the Ducks comes in these places, as the Huskies should win the mile and the low hurdles, while placing second in the two mile and the high hurdles. 'In the pole vault, Oregon gains three points on Washington, as Oregon State's Lyle Dickey is favored in win, with the; Ducks’ Ray Packwood a strong competitor for second place.' Washington is not expected to place in this event. Oregon should score highly in both the jumping events, with . big Finery Barnes taking first place in the high jump, and Smith and McClure gaining second and third in the broad ' jump, hirst place in the broad jump should go to Dale Skart vedt of Washington. ' Missfeldt Should Take First , Oregon’s Chuck Missfeldt should not have any trouble in the javelin, as his next best competitor, Ralph Sutton of OSC, has thrown the spear no further than 201 feet, 8 inches, as compared with Missfeldt’s 219 foot, one inch effort. Points in the discus are well decided among the northern , schools, with neither Oregon nor OSC in prospect of picking up points in the event. The last weight event, the shot-put, should - see Duane Eby of Oregon State winning the blue ribbon, with Chet Noe of Oregon about two feet behind him, but still far • enough out to garner second place. Oregon’s mile relay team composed of Bill Fell, A1 Martin, Jack Hutchins and Ted Anderson should win the relay race, although the team may be changed to admit Doug Clement, a freshman from British Columbia. Well, there it is. According to form, the ND track meet should finish with Washington, Oregon, Washington State, Idaho and Oregon State tallying in that order.
