NOT POLITE HOSTS
UO Could Pull Upset
(Editor’s note: This is the last
in a series of four articles pre
sented as a preview to the North
ern Division track meet in Eu
gene Saturday.)
By Jim White

The University of Oregon
Webfoots play host to the oth
er Northern Division schools
Saturday in their big cham
pionship meet, but they may
not be polite hosts. Although
WSC’s Cougars are favored to
take the meet, Oregon could
come through to upset them
and restore the title to Eugene.
Oregon, of course, is very weak
in most of the field events, but in
the track events, the Ducks are
second to no one in the northwest
in overall strength. They can field
at least one strong runner in ev
ery event.
Springbett Strong
Bruce Springbett, beaten only by
Bib Gary of WSC, and Jerry Mock,
an exceptionally strong number
two man, will hold down the
sprints very capably. Mock is the
stronger of the two in the 220,
while Springbett is outstanding in
the century.
The Ducks will enter four strong
runners in the'mid-distances and
they could all pick up points. In
the quarter mile run, Doug Clem
ent, a sophomore, and Ted Ander- f
son, a junior, both unbeaten by
outsiders this season, are picked
for the top spots.
In the half mile, Clement, and
Oregon’s ace sophomore miler,
A1 Martin, match strides with
WSC’s Link in the closest three
way race of the day.
Martin is favored in the mile,
and veteran Fred Turner, in con
dition after a poor season last year,
should pick up points for the
Ducks. Ken Reiser should show up
well in the two-mile for the Ducks
but the competition is too stiff
this year.
Anderson, Packwood
in Hurdles
In the low hurdles, Ted Ander
son and Ray Packwood, both new
in the event and both very good,
are expected to give Idaho’s Bruce
Sweeney a race but the Vandal’s
experience should pay off. Pack
wood will join up with Tom Swalm
in the high hurdles and could come
home on top in this event.
In field events, Oregon’s pole
vault team is considered the best
in the northwest and may all fin
ish in the money. Ray Packwood
is almost a cinch for the top spot,
and Ken Hickenbottom is capable
of taking second, although he has
been in a bad slump the last few
weeks. Russ Mannex, the third
man on the Oregon trio is a con
sistent performer at 13’4” and is
a good bet for one of the top four
places.
Top spot in the high jump is
assured to Howard McCants, as
no one else in the division has
gone over 6*2”. Bob Faucett has
done better in practice and could
take second with a good jump.
The Ducks only other point win
ning field event is the broad jump.
Ben Johnson, Faucett and Mannex
are good performers but not out
standing enough to bring home a
winner. Johnson went 23'7” in a
pre-season meet, better than any
one else in the Northwest, but in
juries may keep him below 23 feet.
Jones, Lloyd in Shot
Jimmy Jones or Ben Lloyd could
pick up a fourth in the shot put
with a good throw but neither
have been consistent enough to
depend on. The Ducks may win
the meet on the final event, the
mile relay. The Oregon team has
turned in the best time in dual
meet competition.
The meet could go to either Ore
gon or WSC, and whoever wins
will only win by a few points. Good
performances by one or two men
will mean the difference, and that
difference looks like Oregon win
ning by four or five points.
