Barring misfortune, the I'niversity of Oregon may have a
hraii'l new football stadium in time for the 1954 season. As it.
now .'•lauds plans are in*he formative stage only—no decisions
have been reached.
Where, with what and when to build a stream-lined Hay
ward field is one problem confronting the campus planning
commission—and the athletic department. Should the pres
ent field be utilized? How can the parking problem be re
solved ?
One of the strong arguments for “standing pat” on the
pre-mt sit,- H the gridiron itself. It A estimated that it would
to t thousands of dollars to provide a serviceable turf, equal
b’ that ol the Hayward greensward, which is rated one of the
lme-i in the nation, mainly because it drains well.
All on the Side
Considering that the initial outlay will be costly*, it seems
bkely that almost all seats will be of the sideline variety, with1
little or no end zone -eat . After the old covered endzone seat
were condemned shortly after the war, the fans have had a
hand, ott attitude toward the temporary, weather treated seat.-,
behind the goal posts. They were regarded as exclusive prop
erty of the Wood family.
li a stadium minus end-zone seats i> erected, it would be
with the idea that eventually it could be turned into a howl, if
need be. \ capacity of around 2c,fXXJ would be sufficient for the
time iicing. I he tc>t case mav be held in October when the
I C I.A Bruins, probable 1 ’(_C champion-designate for 1953, in
\ade- the local orchard.
"Cinderella Ducks"
A couple of years ago San I rancisco papers praised the
“Stantord orphans" who were loaned a ,'hell hv the U niver
sity of California and did a creditable job at the transplant
ed Poughkeepsie regatta at Marietta, Ohio, that vear. Xou
tin- l diversity of Oregon has a similar story with a "Cin
derella" ending. An unofficial intra-mural all-star vcllevball
team motored to Portland last weekend, paid their own ex
pense and entered the collegiate division of the Portland
V.MC.Vs annual tournamnt. They returned with a foot high
trophy, emblematic of a first place prize.
That Martin Magi, Bob White, Jerry Mock, Tom Swalm.
Bob Muirhead, Bob Fase, Bob Hanake and Don Hanake
engineered the “Ducks" to wins over Portland university,
Reed college and the University of Washington isn't to be
taken lightly. Why? In the finals the Eugene athletes.defeat
ed the Huskies, who have a regular paid coach and satin
warm-up uniforms to hoot.
And now these same fellows have been invited to Seattle
for a tri-cornered meet with Washington and the University of;
British Columbia. They still need some uniforms and suggested
that last year's varsity basketball togs would fill the bill. So in
much the same way that a Duck bowling team was organized
and an Oregon wrestling club was started, a third outfit is
taking a tir.'t step toward possible inter-collegiate recognition.
Let’s hope they don’t go unnoticed.
Second Place Series
L niversity of Idaho’s barnstorming Vandals invade Mc
Arthur court Friday and Saturday nights on the last leg of
their Willamette valley trip. As far as the business office is
concerned the schedule-maKers must have had advance notice,
since the series is a natural with second place at stake.
Because of the expenses involved, both Washington State
and Idaho chose to retain their suicidal four games in five
nights marathon and Vandal Coach Chuck Finley for one
may live to regret it. At press time the Idahoans were one
half game behind the Ducks and needed a pair of triumphs
over the Webfoots in order to depart with the lead ...
If Kd Halberg continues to maintain his phenomenal shoot
ing average the chances are he may crack the northern divi
sion’s all-star team. Should Doug McClary and Alike Mc
Cutcheon split hairs in the voting department llalberg may
elbow in. Another possibility is red-headed Dwight Morrison,
Idaho’s junior forward who is a first-class rebounder a la
M cClary.
Boh Houbregs is the only choice at center and Ken Wegner
appears to he in the driver’s seat for a guard slot along with
Joe Cipriano or Charley Koon of Washington or Bruce Mc
Intosh of Idaho . . .
Webfoot Coach Bill Borcher was forced to cancel plans to
have his ball club photographed this week. Borcher mercifully
postponed the picture-snapping until next week when Barney
Holland is ready ... *
Redbird Hopes
Rest on Rookies
Reports Stanky
Manager Eddie Stanky of the St. i
Louis Cardinals says his team’s |
chances in the National League [
pennant race depend on five young
pitchers.
In an article written for the As
sociated Press, Stanky describes
his kid pitchers as the finest col- i
lection of potential stars ever as- '
sembled on one club. If they click,
Stanky says, then the other con
tending clubs will know the Card
inals are around.
The five pitchers Stanky is
speaking of are Vinegar Bend
Mizell, Stu Miller, Harvey Had
dix, Joe Presko and Cloyd Boyer.
Backed up by Gerry Staley and
Cliff Chambers and reliefers Ed
die Yu has and Al Bra/.le, they
form a staff that Stanky be
lieves could take the Cards all
the way to the pennant in 1953.
Stanky says he is anxious to get
another look at big Steve £ ko,
who in the past has been unable
to hit in the majors like he does in
i las minors. Eilko, a first baseman,
could relieve Stan Musial for regu
lar outfield duty and improve the
Cardinal defense. Stanky is count
ing on a newcomer. Rip Repulski,
to join Musial and Enos Slaughter
in the outfield.
Stanky says he has no worries a.s
far as his double play combination
i - concerned. He calls Red Schoen
dienst the best second baseman in
baseball. His shortstop, Solly He
rn us, is considered by his boss to
be the most improved player in the
league.
Charles Scores
Boxing Victo-y
DETROIT t.'Pi —- Former heavy
weight champion Ezzarci Charles

a powerful righthander on the face.
He was badly cut about the nose,
mouth and left eye. After taking
the count, Harrison managed to
last out the round and slumped
onto his stool during the one-min
ute intermission. However, Man
ager George Parnassus signalled
officials that Harrison was finish
ed for the night.
Charles rocked Har rison with a
vicious body attack in the opening
round and never relented on the of
fense.
Harrison was credited with only
the fourth round by the ring offi
cials. Charles lost the round for
hitting low. Charles was warned
three times during the bout.
