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.

nesota in third place and Iowa
State in fourth were the other two
teams to top the Webfoots of Lou

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.
