Spring Gridders Smooth Attack;
Team Put into Two Offense Units
Oregon's spring football team
seems pretty well rounded out
after eighteen days of practice.
Coach Len Casanova sent his
charges through a wet drill ses
sion, Wednesday, smoothing out
rough points in the offense and
defense.
After working with the line
man early in the afternoon on the
finer points of aerial defense,
Coach Casanova split his grid
hopefuls into two teams for about
an hour of scrimmage.
Holt Leads First Team
Quarterback Don Holt led the
first offensive team, composed
mostly of freshmen and sopho
mores. John Lighty, freshman end,
was the outstanding performer,
receiving numerous aerials, two of
them good for touchdowns. The
San Francisco frosh also turned in
a stellar performance as offensive
Mocker.

ND MEET SATURDAY
WSC Squad Favored
(Editor’s note: This Is the
third in n series of four articles
that will be presented as a pre
view of the Northern Division
track meet which will be held
this Saturday in Eugene.}
The Washington State Col
lege Cougars will invade Hay
ward field Saturday, Heavily
‘avored to take home their
third straight Northern divi
sion championship, and their
12th title in the last IS years.
The Cougars will enter a
well balanced, star-studded
squad that boasts of such per
formers as Bob Gary, PCC 100
yard dash champion, Clint Richard
son. ND broad jump and 220 win
ner. and Howard McCants, one bf
the outstanding high jump and
discus men on the coast.
Messenger Second
Another ND champion, Elmer
Messenger, who won the discus last
year, has been overshadowed by
McCants this year but is always a
consistent second place winner.
Bob Gary, the undefeated de
fending sprint champion and un
doubtedly the class of the league,
is tapped to take both sprint
events. The events will feature
many stars but none that have
yet been able to match the little
negro’s speed.
Also entered in the sprints is
Richardson. He was outstanding in
the 220 last year but a leg injury
has stopped him this year. He is
also slated to enter the 440.
Bill Link, a first rate half miler,
has turned in the best times this
season and is undefeated in dual
meet competition. He has never
run against Oregon's Doug Clem
ent and may be due for his first
loss.
Fisher in Two Mile
Northern Division Champion A1
Fisher will carry the burden in
the two mile run but he is not gen
erally expected to take the title
again. The WSC relay team is one
of the best in the division and can
be expected to do quite well.
In the field events, McCants and
Messenger are both picked to rack
up points in the high jump and
discus. McCants is virtually un
opposed for high jump honors, and
his most serious competition in the
discus will come from his team
mate Messenger.
Vic Anderson has been the only
DOUG CLEMENT, Oregon’s ace mid-distance man, will have a busy
day this Saturday at the Northern Division track meet on Hayward
field. The prize sophomore is slated to enter the 440, 880, and also
a leg on the mile relay team. Clement has gone undefeated in
ND competition this year.
threat to Oregon’s supremacy in
the pole vault this year and He
could finish as high as second
place. His best height this year is
13 ft. 4 >-2 inches. In the shot put.
the Cougars are fairly impotent.
Cole McFarland has been their best
man so far and may pick up a
third or a fourth.
The Cougars have two strong
performers In the javelin. Jim
Duncan and A1 Thurman picked
up points very consistently in the
dual inret* and should do the
same Saturday.
The Washington tracksters are
certain to be nil in the hurdles,
and very weak in the mile. Most
of their strength lies in firsts and
seconds. They are generally con
sidered the team to beat in the
coming meet, but the Oregon
Ducks could pull an upset. The
Palouse Hill men are always strong
in track and this year is no excep
tion.
First Place Webfoots Prep in Rain;
Showers Predicted for Eugene Tilt
Coach Don Kirsch’s first place
Oregon baseball team got more
practice for rainy weather games
Wednesday. The Webfoots held
batting and fielding sessions in in
termittent showers in preparation
for the three weekend games with
Oregon State.
Reports from the weather bu
reau indicate, however .that Fri
day’s scheduled nine inning con
test in Eugene may get called, off
because of rain. Although Satur
day’s forecast was uncertain, the
weathermen look for a nicer day.
If the skies do clear up by Sat
urday, the Beavers and Ducks will
do battle in Corvallis for the
Northern Division championship. A
double-header is scheduled to make
up a game that was called off last
Monday.
If Friday’s game at Howe field
is washed out, the Webfoots can

leading the conference with an
earned run average of 2.08 for
25 innings or more.
Ralph Coleman, OSC mentor,
will probably send his prize
mound prospect, Bailey Brem,

the workhorse of the ND this
year, facing 170 batters. Out of
this number he has struck out
40, to lead in the strike hut de

poked out 17 safeties in 45 plate
appearances. He also leads in
doubles with seven.
