> ND TRACK MEET Beavers, (Editor’* note: Till* |* the first In si series of four stories that will l>e print.!) as a preview of * ‘he Northern Division track n,<et which will he held this u«'<»kf»ncl in Eugene.) r' Th,‘ 2r,‘h running of the North ern Division championship track incct will be held on Hayward - Llf*'1 ^Hlu,'day, beginning at 1 p.m. I he meet is expected to be one of the closest in history with Oregon, - Washington and Washington State all in the running for the top spot. There will be just as close a - battle for the cellar spot, however, with Oregon State and the Idaho Vandals running neck and neck . f,,r lhe bottom. The Aggies beat Idaho in their dual meet, but most of the events which they won, they . will n°t be able to score in against the tougher competition. OKC First in Javelin ► OSC, who is expected to come out ahead in the struggle, is not predicted to do better than cap ture one first. Ralph Sutton has come into his own in the javelin after a poor start this season and will be favored to win that event. J'Try Church may also pick up points in this event. ► Mery Brock is one of the better sprinters in the division, but he will be up against WSC's unbeaten Bob Gary, one of the finest sprint ers on the coast, so he is not ex pected to finish better than second. Don Chambers may be able to ( place in the hurdles, but he still hasn't regained his form of last I year. In the shot put, John Witte, a hot and cold performer, could | place as high as second, and he will undoubtedly capture a few b points for the Beavers. ■ The Vandals will capture more ■ first* than OSC but may end up L In the cellar Is-cause of their lack of depth. Coach Stan His ermnn will bring three point win J n,rs with him and should take home three first places, all by * the same man though. 1 Bruce Sweeney, the “Bob Ma „ thias" of the Northern Division, will bo favored in both hurdle events and the broad jump. He is 1 unbeaten in these events this sea l son and is a consistent and reliable performer. In the mile, Emerson b Clark, another unbeaten Idaho star, may run into his first de , feat. He beat Oregon’s A1 Martin early in the year but Martin has improved more rapidly than Clark. | Gourley In Two Mile Idaho’s only other consistent . point winner, Lou Gourley, may pick points in the two mile event, but that lace will be a contest be . tween Washington's Denny Meyer and WSC's A1 Fisher. Bruce West has turned in good distances in the javelin but it is doubtful that he will pick up any points. In their dual meet earlier in the season, OSC beat the Vandals by a score of 93 to 38. Gridders Start Last Practices; Passes Stressed Coach Len Casanova started his spring football squad through its last week of practice Monday aft ernoon. Four more days of drill re main this week before the twenty day spring limit is expired. Although the weather was rainy and the football wet, the team practiced up its offensive and de fensive aerial attacks. Under the direction of Backfield Coach John ny McKay, the Webfoot quarter backs, Earney Holland and Don Holt, polished up the passing game in a lengthy drill. Oregon's ends, a position that was weak when the Ducks started spring practice, are rounding into shape with big Emery Barnes, Ben Johnson, Len Berrie, and Tom El liott looking good on offense and defense. The Ducks will have plenty of depth in the halfback and fullback positions. Included in a host of ex ceptional halfbacks are Cece Hodges, Dick James, Dick Pavlat, Farrell Albright, Walt Gaffney, and Lloyd Powell. Dean Van Leu ven and Larry Rose are showing well at the fullback slot. \ . * Idaho Vie for Cellar Oregon Golf Captain unit iTuivonv a. * . —£mijeiie Register-Guard Photo BOB ATKINSON, captain of University of Oregon’s undefeated golf team, will lead his mates into the Northern Division Golf tournament at Seattle, this Saturday.

Jim Livesay, Oregon's out standng center fielder, is the Ducks' top hitter with a .320 per centage. He has 16 hits in 50 times at bat. Don Hedgepeth, who started the last Oregon-OSC game at first base, is the next in line with an even .300 mark, three hits in 10 plate appearances.
