1 What's Happened to Anderson?
Big Question on the Oregon track and field team these days!
is just what is the matter with dash man Ted Anderson? An
derson, a third-place finisher in last year's PCC track meet in
the 440-yard dash, has been any thing but spectacular in the
Oregon meets this season.
Anderson had to settle for a second place behind Oregon i
, State’s Donn Smithpeter, a man who he beat frequently last

people figured this was just a case of Ted not being
■.quite ready. But in last Saturday’s Oregon-Washington meet
^supposedly speedy Ted was really a flop.
? Starting fast at the timer’s gun Anderson remained at the
jure only briefly. By the time the sprinters reached the final
.turn of the quarter-mile grind, Ted was beginning to fade bad
jly- Quickly the other men in the race took advantage of Ander
son's faltering stride and raced past him.
a. (»ordon Dahlquist, the Ducks' new 410 find, came home the
J winner of the event. Anderson failed to place.
‘ ^ hatever it is that is keeping Anderson from reaching his
.capabilities is hoped will be cured by this coming Saturday
‘when the Oregon team faces tough Washington State in an
► important dual meet.
^ Clement Looks Sharp
I One of the bright spots for the Duck trackmen last Saturday
