Track Chances Drop
As Injuries Hit Team
By Jim White
Emerald Sporttwriur
Oregon's slim chances took a
nosedive Thursday as the Ducks
prepared for Saturday's dual track
and field meet with the Washing
ton Stale Cougars. Injuries riddled
the Oregon trackmen in several
formerly strong events.
The Ducks, now resting in third
place in the league, were thought
to have a good chance to upset the
powerful league leading Cougars,
but the drain on manpower has
w eakened Oregon so that a victory
now looks unlikely.
In the pole vault, Oregon’s squad,
which was one of the best on the
coast, was reduced to one man as a
result of injuries. Only Ken Hick
enbottom will make the trip in that
event. The Ducks hopes in the
broad jump were shattered when
Spring Grid Prospects Practice
'T' Plays, Scrimmage in Rain
Although rain dampened spring
football practice for the fourth
straight day Thursday, the squad
looked considerably improved.
As usual, the first part of the
afternoon was spent limbering up
and practicing on fundamentals;
but later the grid men divided in
to line and backfield groups under
the direction of Coaches Vem
Sterling and Johnny McKay, re
spectively.
i In backfield practice, the run
ners worked on basic “T” forma
tion plays, with Barney Holland
and Don Holt managing quarter
back duties.
A half-hour tackling scrimmage
was held as the final drill. Cece
Hodges, power-driving halfback,
turned in a stellar performance,
racking up sizeable gains against
the defensive team.
