Emsrald Co-Sporlt Editor
Oregon's Wcbfoot cindermen 1
nt'i* favored to repeat their un
defeated sweep of the Northern
Division dual meet schedule Bat
urday with their alxth straight
conquest of Oregon State at 1:30
on Hayward field as part of the
annual Spring a porta day festivi
ties.
The cellar-dwelling Heavers,
winless In all three of their con
ference meets this year, are
clear-cut underdogs against Bill
Bowerman's powerful Wcbfoot
thindad crew.
Defending division javelin
champion .ferry Church is the
one bright spot In the gloomy
OSC outlook In 1955 track. The
senior spear man from Baker
has topped two meet records
this season und appears on Ills
vi ay to u repeat of his ND
crown.
Church, who understudied the
Beavers* great Ralph Sutton two
seasons ago. swept into the spot
light himself last year with a
fourth place in the NCAA meet
at Ann .Arbor, Mich., and had
the second best recorded col
legiate throw of the year in reg
ular competition at 216* 11*.
Ttils year Church's best ef
fort has been a 212’ 6(4” mark
which he threw In breaking
the OSC-Washington meet ree
ord two weeks ago. Previously
h«* hud topped the Beaver*
Washington State standard
with h, 212’ heave,
Oregon will counter Church
with Its sophomore pride Kd
Bingham, whose best throw to
date is 204’ 5”. The ex-Medford
star could ace out Church with
a good day. The Oregon State ace
slumped to 202' 5'*" against
Idaho last weekend. Both men’s
best throws are under the OSC
Oregon meet record of 218'4”,
set in 1835 by Jim Daneri of the
Beavers.
Coach Hal Moe of Oregon
State can count on only five
letternien In addition to
Church, but he has a fleet of
promising non-veterans which
add depth to the Beaver dual
meet offense. Biggest point
getter has been Krnie Warren,
xersatile junior transfer from
1‘ortland State. Warren runs
l»oth hurdles, pole vaults, high
jumps and occasionally sprints
a 100-yard dash.
Letter winners Include Donn
Smithpeter and Tom Tebb, 410
and relay veterans; Ken Brown,
broad jump: Dick Duncan, discus,
and Tex Whiteman, the basket
ball star who runs the 880.
The Beavers are expected to
dominate the javelin, with Leon
Hittner and Don Clay backing
up Church. The trio swept »n
three places against Washington,
but Bingham is expected to pre
vent a repeat performance.
Kon Rngcl and Warren are
expected to pick up points for
the visitor** in both hurdle
events, where Oregon has the
recently recuperated Boh Horn
by and sophomore Doug Bas
ham. The Beavers will also
probably tally In the high
jump, which they practically
swept from Idaho on Dick
Itoyer’s 5’ H” leap for first ami
two out of three places in a
three-way second position tie.
The Ducks have Chuck Phil
lips, however, who topped .V II"
In taking second place at the
Vancouver relays last Saturday
The Webfoots rate as solid fa
vorites to cop the running events,
with Bruce Springbett in the
splints, Gordon Dahlquist in the
440, Doug Clement in the 880 and
Ken Reiser in the mile.
The mile shapes up as the race
of the day with Australian ace
Jim Bailey skipping the half
mile to run against NCAA cham
pion Bill Dellinger. Bailey hand
ed Dellinger his first mile defeat ]
in varsity competition in Van
couver last weekend, taking the
small Springfield junior in 4:15.0
in a downpour.
Oregon’s George Rasmussen
tied for the NCAA title in the
pole vault two years in a row.
He cleared 14' in both 1947 and
1948.
Ducks Slate Meet
With OSC Net men
Oregon State’# Beaver# pro
vide the opposition Saturday at
Corvallis for Hilbert Lee’s Ore
gon tennis forces, as the Ducks
try to wrap up a second-place
finish in the Northern Division
race.
After the OSC match, the Web
foots’ lone remaining competi
tion will be in the division tour
nament at Pullman. Washing
ton’s powerful Huskies will be a
strong entry as usual, along with
the less potent Beavers, Idaho
Vandals and Washington State
Cougars.
In an earlier match with Irwin
Harris’ Beaver netmen, the
Ducks came out best by a 4-3
count when Dick Hamilton and
Dick Gray won a final doubles
match.
Sophomores Norman Merrill
and Bob Jensen will probably
play the top two singles spots
for the Staters, with juniors Pete
Overton and Dick Jacobson back
ing them up. Senior Emory Ke
j olanui plays the fifth singles
spot, with Merrill and Jensen
and Overton and Jacobson team
ing in the doubles.
Bob Baker and Ron Carlson
will likely go against Merrill and
Jensen for the Ducks, while Dick
Cray and Don Bonime will prob
ably support them. Dick Hamil
j ton completes the singles line
up. The teams of Baker-Carlson
and Bonime-Gray should see
doubles activity.
