< »iic disadvantage (among many) of writing for a college
PaP‘r is that -o much happens during the Mimim-r when the
paper is not being published. Many of these events should he
covered by the campus paper, but by the time the students
come back in the iall the news is months old.
I his situation has been more obvious than usual this sum
mer when I ni\ersity of Oregon athletes compiled one of
their best records in year- after the Kmerald ceased publi
cation last spring.
Bill Dellinger, who could become one of the top milers
in the country next spring won the NCAA mile champion
ship, and followed up a few days later by winning the mile
in the annual Pacific Coast Conference-Big 10 meet. Del
linger's time in the latter was 4:10.6. which broke the Uni
versity of Oregon record of 4:12 2 set by Ralph Hill back
in 1930.
K« u \\ aym* Reiser also placed in the two-mile run in the
NC AA meet, and Doug Clement finished third in the PCC
Big 10 meet behind two Big 10 runners in the half-mile.

Clement also qualified for the final- of that event at the
British Empire Games in \ anconver, B.C., tHi> summer hut
did not place. I.ater in the games Clement ran a 48-second lap
in the mile relay that brought the Canadian team within two
yard- of upsetting the favored English team. Both England’s]
3:11 2 and Canada's 3:11.0 were far under the old games
record.
In addition to Clement, three other present and former
Oregon athletes participated in this year's games. Bruce
Springbett, running in the 440 relay, took his team from
second place into the lead on the second leg of the race. The
Canadian team was barely able to hang onto the lead, but won
in record-breaking time. Springbett also qualified in the 220
but did not place in the finals. Bob Reid, another Webfoot
competing for Canada, placed seventh in the pole vault with
a 12’6” performance- Jack Hutchins, a former Oregon half
niiier and track captain, was entered in the 880 but did not
qualify for the finals.
Shaw Named on Two All-Americas
C.eorge Shaw became one of the few athletes to be men
tioned on All-America teams in two sports when he was
named on the third All-American squad selected by the
American Association of College Baseball Coaches last
spring. Shaw had been named to the Associated 1’ress All
America third team in football last fall. Jay Dean, Oregon
State first baseman, and Warren Goodrich, Stanford short
stop, were both named to the first team. Two Arizona play
ers who played against Oregon in the NCAA playoffs in
Omaha last March were also named on the teams. First
baseman Russell Gragg was the second team first baseman,

Duck Gridders
Await Stanford
Coach \j-n Casanova's high
spirited Ducks, fresh from a >1-0 I
victory over Idaho, went through
limbering-up exercises Monday
afternoon, with their sights set
on Saturday's night game with
the Stanford Indians in Portland.
After a chalk-talk at the start
of the session, the Webfoots
moved out to the practice field
where they loosened up with a
few' fundamental calesthenics.
The afternoon closed as the
squads tried out some offensive
plays.
Backfield Coach Johnny Mc
Kay sent hia backfield units
through their paces without the
services of Jasper McGee and
Larry Rose, number one and two
fullbacks on the squad.
Rose worked out without pads
in sweat pants and sweat shirt i
and McGee attended the session j
in his street clothes. Rose suf
fered a shoulder injury in the
Idaho game, and McGee was
shelved with a rib injury. Mc
Gee's condition was uncertain
Monday, as Trainer Bob Officer
w'aited for X-rays of the injury.
The team will *have a chance
to look over some of their weak
nesses tonight, when they view
films of the game with the
Vandals.
