It's no wonder that there is so much indoor track in the
Hast; no wonder at least to those who attended the 18th an
nual running' of the Ilayward relays here last I-riday and
Saturday.
Unlike baseball games, track meets seem to have estab
lished a habit of making their appointed rounds despite
snow, sleet, hail or what-have-you, a category which must
include those blasts of cold rain winds which come from
the south.
Fortunately for the more than 1000 prep track men who
descended on the campus last weekend for the two-day, four
class Hayward relays, the University just happened to have
a spare track which they pressed into service for the occa
sion.
Events Held Inside
Using tlie physical education cinders and holding high
jump, pole vault and broad jump competition in the unfin
ished area of theLinen’r€|r \ m alleviated the Strain on the main
Hayward field track, but the wind blew just as hard on the
west side of the stands across the P.E. area.
Despite the hardly ^favorable weather, the high school ath
letes turned in several good performances. Topping most ef
forts was the record breaking Class A shot put relay team
from St. Helens. Led by. state champ Duane Marshall, who
heaved the 12-foot hall S5' 7’4”. nearly 10 feet over the old
mark and 10 inches over the Metropolitan division record
held by two present Oregon aces, F.d Bingham and Jack
Moad. and lack Brophv. set when all three were at Medford
in 1953.
Bob Amble broke the A discus mark for Albany with a
149-foot heave, and Redmond’s Earl Smith pole vaulted 12'
3” to top the old A mark by three inches in the other two
record-topping efforts.
Metropolitan Records Stay
No standards were surpassed in the Metropolitan division,
but several outstanding performances were seen. Eldon Fran
cis, Medford sophomore, took the javelin with a 171’ 10”
throw, more than seven feet off the mark Bingham set in
1953, but over 11 feet ahead of his nearest rival.
Eugene's 440-yard relay quartet of Bob Anderson, Pete
King, Bob Gabriel and Bob Brown raced away with its heat
and copped the relay win in 44.9, only .5 of a second away
from a mark jointly owned by a Grant team of 1946 and a
Washington of Portland foursome of 1949.
Mark Robbins, the mile flash from Roseburg, anchored
his distance medley team to a win in the Metro division,
coming from 13 yards behind two other men. Unofficially,
Robbins was timed in 4:33 for his four laps of the events.
Medford Takes Third
In team scoring it was the same old story. Medford's Black
Tornado were successful in taking top honors for the
eleventh time out of 14 tries, the third straight time since
the Metropolitan class was set up for schools of over 1000
students.
Marshfield repeated its victory in Class A for the third
' time also, but, like the Medford cindermen, had to win the
last event, the mile relay, to do it. The Black Tornado took
both final events, the shutttle hurdles and the mile relay, to
insure its victory.
Friday’s action saw two newcomers to the winners’ circle.
Duck track coach Bill Bowerman presented the C trophy to
the Mt. Shasta, Calif., team, only out-state school entered
in the Friday action. Central (Monmouth-Independence)
took the B action.
Golfers Defeat
Huskies, 17-10
In First Meet
Sophomore Don Bick shot a
four-under-par 68 to lend Ore
gon’s defending Northern divi
sion champion golfers to a 17-10
victory over Washington Satur
day.
Bick, playing in the number
five spot, collected three points
from opponent A1 Newman, who
can! a 76 over the sloppy Eugene
country dub layout.
Only other individual sweep
was recorded by number-one man
and captain, Neil Dwyer, whose
par 72 bested Bill RoWe's 75.
Bick and number-two man Barry
Ott picked up three more points
in the best ball bracket.
Dwyer and Bob Norquist got 2
points and Bob Takano and Jus
! tin Smith snared 1'2 more in best
ball play.
Ott took a half a point with a
71, Takano got one point with a
; 73, Norquist fired a 74 to pick
up 1 >•; points, and Howard Zen
ger's 81 was good for another 1'2
| in individual action.
The loss to Oregon gave the
Washington divoters a split rec
ord for the weekend after defeat
ing OSC Friday. Next outing for
the Duck divoters is the north
ern California collegiate invita
tional tourney at Santa Cruz next
weekend.

Eugene High Gome
Slated by Frosh
Oregon's Frosh baseball team
will face an inexperienced but
hustling Eugene high school nine
Tuesday as it tries to open its
: rain-stymied season on Howe
field at 3 p.m. The Axemen have
no starters back, but the junior

plenty of fire in pre-league ac

open with his ace lefthander, Don
Lane, with Ron Whittaker and
Don Delbon also scheduled to see
action.
Duckling pitchers got a heavy
workout Friday and Basich noted
improvement in his top reserve
hands, John McCall and Jim
Sittser. McCall is working on
form while Sittser is concentrat
ing on control.
