By Bob Robinson Emerald Sporli Editor If (Oregon s track and field team keeps u]> its present pace it should have a wonderful opportunity to set some new dual meet records when it travels to Moscow this coming Saturday afternoon tit tangle with the University of Idaho. I hick runners should have a good chance of breaking record in the 880, mile run, two-mile run, high jump and javelin. And tiiis is not even considering that Idaho might have some men capable of setting records also. Doug Clement, the brilliant Web foot half-miler, shouldn’t have too much trouble in beating his own record time of 1 :58.d in the 880 which he set against the Vandals last year. Clement has already been clocked in 1 :56/> this season. Mile Record in Danger In the mile run the present record is 4:25.5 and the Duck rtn<l \ andals both have men capable of beating this time. Kmer <l'11 t lark of tile Idahoans i- one (if the best four-lappers in the conference and only last Saturday turned in an excellent dock ing (if 4:19.1 against Oregon State. For the Ducks Bill Delling er has already run a 4:25 flat and a 4:21.5 and is only a little oft the pace of Clark. '1 he story is much the same for the two-mile where the current top mark has been 9:37.5. Wayne Reiser (if the Ducks won last Saturday’s race against WSC with a time of 9:33.4 and Dellinger was right behind him so it seems apparent that one of these boys will be a serious threat to the record this Sat urday. In the high jump both Bob Faucett and I'.mery Barnes of Oregon will be around the now standing record of 6’4" and cither one of them could beat it with a good jump. Higdon May Set Mark Doyle Higdon, the Ducks’ outstanding sophomore javelin thrower, will have a very good opportunity for setting a new standard fur the javelin throw. At the present time the record between the two teams is held by Lou Robinson of Oregon at 201*6” which he set in 1947. Iligdon has been improving constantly this season and in last Saturday’s meet he came up with an amazing throw of 205’X" which far outdistanced any Cougar efforts. Higdon, if he keeps improving like he has been, is likely to make Oregon forget all about the tremendous records set by Chuck Missfeldt a few years back. None of these five records are out of reach of the Oregon athletes and if it is a good day in Moscow Saturday we have a feeling that many of them will be broken. Fans Not Too Happy Odd happening at last Saturday’s Salem Senator-Oregon baseball game was the athletic department’s handling of the ticket situation. Many of the people who attended the Oregon-WSC track meet were interested in seeing the final innings of the Duck baseball game which was being played at the same time as the track meet. Most of them were quite provoked to find that they had to pay admittance to see the rest of the game even though there were onljl three innings remaining to be played when the track meet ended. It seems a shame that people who have already paid one price of admission at the track meet should be forced to pay again at the baseball game, especially when the latter was almost fin ished anyway. We rather imagine that it was a mistake on the part of the ticket takers and we hope that ticket manager Ted Houck will give the takers different instructions the next time •■••V* v in u uani wnu Jljmm. (UiU a track meet going on at the same time. When they are forced to pay twice, many spectators get the idea that they are being taken advan tage of. They are not nearly as likely to come back the next time with this attitude in mind. At any rate we would like to see some sys tem worked out because the one last Saturday was certainly unfair to interested fans. Speaking of the people who came over from the track meet to see the end of the baseball game, they were quite amazed to see the Oregon hitting power as they walked up to the admission gate. The Ducks were right in the middle of their big eight run inn ing and were parking base hits all over the ball park.

Washington got three other home runs, one each by Lou Rosselli, Hon Halle, and winning pitcher Don Hill. The only Oregon player who got more than one hit was first base man Dick Schlosstein. He had a single and a double, and batted in Oregon Keglers Take Fifth Place In NIT Tourney The University of Oregon bowl ing team had to settle for fifth place in the second annual Na tional Intercollegiate Telegraphic | bowling championships sponsored by the National Association of col lege unions, announced SU direc tor Dick Williams over the past weekend. The Ducks, who won the title in 1953, had an off day this season and only scored 3,516 which placed them fifth in the meet. Marquette university won the affair with a total score of 3,850 and the University of Washington took second spot with 3,595. Min nesota in third place and Iowa State in fourth were the other two teams to top the Webfoots of Lou Bellisimo. Oregon had previously beaten Washington rather handily for the PCC title and this goes to show how much below par their game in the national actually was. Marquette's keglers also captur ed the high team series score with a 1,037, 44 pins better than second place Western Illinois State col lege. The winners also had the high individual series with an S08. High individual game went to Western Illinois with, a 267.
