By John Whitty Emerald Sporftwritar Although spring sports competi tion is not yet at an end, with both the PCC track meet and the conference baseball playoffs on the agenda this weekend, Oregon ath letic competition for the school year 1952-53 is nearing a close, and only a few more editions of the paper are on tap. With this in mind, and in view of the fact that this will probably be the last column in the Emerald appearing under this by-line, we think it only fitting that we de vote some space to the graduating Webfoot athletes. Many Gridders Gone The Webfoot football squad is to bo the largest loser due to graduation, with fourteen Duck grid stalwarts on their way out into the cold world. All but three of these spent most of their time on the field as linemen, the un sung heroes of the game. Taking them in alphabetical order, they are as follows: John Adams, .Monte Brethauer, Len lllederiehs, Hal Dunham, Wayne Johnson, Bob Lcter, Bon I.yman, Tom Xovlknff, Hal Simmons, Don Sloan, Dlek Stoutt, Ken Sweltzer, Emmett Williams, and Bob Wilcox. Coach Casanova is definitely going to miss these hoys next season. Four of Bill Borcher’s varsity basketball team -will not be back next year, and have played their last games in Webfoot livery. The two big boys on the squad, Henry Bonneman and All-ND Chet Noe, are graduating, as well as forward Keith Farnham and speedster Bud Covey. Averill, Livesay Leave Hard-hitting Earl Averill and Jim Livesay are finishing their last years on the Oregon baseball team, and both will be missed in the lineup next year. However, with the large crew of sophomores on this year's roster, baseball mentor Don Kirsch should field another strong nine in 1954. From the track squad’s roster, we find that only four of this year’s Webfoot clndermen are seniors, and all will be three year lettennen when they grad uate. They are Jack Loftis, mid dle distances, Jerry Mock, sprints, Tom Swalm, hurdler, and Fred Turner, miler. Bob Atkinson, golf team captain and Neil George, veteran Web foot netman have also ended their athletic careers here at the Uni versity. Both are three-year let termen. All in all, it looks as if Oregon's athletic teams are def initely going to miss the perform ances of these men next year, but it seems as if there are always others to take the places of those who complete their careers. Appar ently there is nothing1 more to be said, except for a heart-felt word of congratulation to all of them. Poetic Justice To return to the present, there seems to be a bit of poetic justice in the way Oregon’s diamond squad was rained into the Northern Divi sion championship this past week end. Those who were here at school last spring will recall the disap pointment felt when the Ducks lost the ND title to the Beavers on that controversial call by the umpire, in which a Beaver batsman hit a pop up which looked like a foul to ev eryone including himself, but which was called fair by the arbiter. Whether the ball did land fair or foul Is still questionable, but many Webfoot baseball fans were quite broken up over the whole situation. Perhaps the fav or shown by old Jupiter Pluvius last Friday and .Saturday has served to soothe the injured feel ings remaining from last year. In any case, Oregon won the championship fair and square, giv ing us the ninth diamond title in the last twenty-two years, al though one of these was a tie with OSC. Washington State has taken I the pennant five times and tied j for it once, Oregon State has, topped the league two times and tied three times, and Washington ] has copped three championships, [ and finished in a tie for the title with Oregon State last year. Oregon’s track squad did not fare as well, however, for they finished third last Saturday, be hind Washington and W’SC, when they were predicted to be a strong second, and a possible contender for first place. The Webfoot cin dermen have finished on top only three times, with their last cham pionship coming in 1950. WSC Track Monopoly The Cougars of Washington State have shown themselves to be the strongest track school in the Northern Division, for they have won the annual ND meet a total of twelve times. Even more remarkable than this, however, is the fact that five of these cham pionships have come in the last six years. Only Oregon’s win in 1950 kept them from making it six in a row. That about winds up the records in track and baseball for the past few years, and we are left with the hope that Coach Don Kirsch and his crew will return to Eugene next Sunday with the PCC base ball trophy in their possession.

In the batting drill a number of players got off long drives, Co-captain Earl Averill and Don Slegmund in particular. Out fielder Ron Phillips also con nected for some sharp hits. The main stress was placed on infield defensive work, with double steal and hit-and-run situations getting the most attention. The pitchers also worked out at cover ing first base when the firstbase man was forced to field an infield grounder. The Oregon-Stanford games will be broadcast direct over Eugene radio station KOBE at 1:00 p.m. Friday, and 12:00 noon Saturday. Coach Don Kirsch stated that as yet he was not fully decided on his starting lineup, with the big question marks being first base, one outfield position, and pitcher. Averill is set at catcher, Jim John son at second, Pete Williams at third, George Shaw at short, Jim Livesay in centerfield, and Ron Phillips either in right or left. As for pitcher, starting choice in the Friday game will be eith er Norm Forbes or Stan Dmoch owsky. If the series is extended to three games, Lefty Trent Huls will probably take the mound. Stanford is expected to hurl ace Bob Murphy in the opener with the hope of getting a one-game jump on the Webfoots. The In dians are weak in pitching after Murphy, however.
