    Emerald Trophy
Goes to Williams
Pate Williams, Oregon base
ball co-captain and four-year let
terman, became the fifth win
ner of the annual Emerald Ath
letic award Saturday night.
The outstanding student and
athlete was presented the award
by Leo Harris, Oregon director
of athletics, at the all-campus
sing in McArthur court. Williams
was chosen for his excellence in
athletics, scholarship and citizen
ship out of an original field of
35 senior athletes.
Many Make Grades
Harris said he believed Wil
liams was an outstanding win
ner of the award and pointed
out that 14—nearly half—of the
nominees had met the grade re
quirements of a 2.5 on 150 hours
of work. Six of the group had
over a 3.0 average through win
ter term.
Williams became the second
baseball player to get the award
in its five-year history. Jim Live
say, outstanding Duck outfielder,
won the award two years ago.
Other winners were Jack Keller,
1951; Jack Hutchins, 1952, and
Ron Lowell. 1954.
Winners Captains Team
A leader in sports, scholarship
and activities, Williams has been
the regular third-baseman for
Coach Don Kirsch’s baseball
teams since he was a freshman.

star choice in 1953 and 1954 and
captain of last year’s Webfoot

With any more weekends like the Webfoot track, tennis
and golf teams enjoyed last Friday and Saturday. Oregon’s
spring sports squads might as well wait until summer.
The Duck netmen just got rained out until Tuesday, but
a wet Corvallis Country club might be blamed for costing
the golfers a tie for first place in the Northern Division.
Oregon State's divoters surprised the Ducks by tieing
them, and Idaho, sure of a tie with the Webfoots before,
swept to its first XD spring sports championship.
Weather Hurts Times
Rain hasn't hurt the Webfoot cinder squad so seriouslv.
Saturday it didn’t hurt their scoring appreciably in their XD
dual with Oregon State, but ran and sloppy tracks have
slowed performances, both at the Hayward field meets and
on trips.
Oregon field superintendent Mike Steddom has a big job
ahead of him in shaping up the cinders and turf of Hay
ward field for the Pacific Coast conference meet just two
weeks away. Another session of rain before the big one
would be most disappointing to fans who are anticipating
seeing the top trackmen of the coast in some highly-touted
competition.
In addition to turning in several very good performances
despite unfavorable conditions, Rill Rowerman’s tracksters
gave a fashion show in hat styles for the rain-soaked young
runners Saturday.
Ducks Model Chapeaus
Fans are already well familiar with Ken Reiser’s green
fatigue hat, but the weekend rain brought out some less-often
seen models on Duck sprinters’ heads.
Gordon Dahlquist and LeRoy Campbell favor the
straight yellow rain hats—Dashquist’s with the brim worn
completely flat and Campbell’s with a businessman-shaped
brim. Bruce Springbett cut a dashing figure before the
dashes in his white Pan-American games hat, a flashy
Panama liberally perforated for comfort in the heat of
Mexico.
Of course Tex Whiteman, who chased Bailey and Del
linger in the mile Saturday, kept his head dry with an OSC
towel, but the style of the day was that of an anonymous
Oregon State track man who wore a plastic sack over his
head.

An improved Oregon State golf
team staved off an Oregon win
for the first time since 1950 Fri
day when the Beavers and Ducks
battled to a 131 a-131 ^ tie at Cor
vallis.
It was the first time in nine
matches between the rivals that
Oregon had not won the con
ference dual. The last time Ore
gon State came through to vic
tory was in the final match of
the year in 1950 when Walker
Cupper Dick Yost was playing
for the Orangemen.
The defeat dumped Oregon
into third place in final confer
ence dual-match standings, the
lowest finish for a Duck team
since Coach Sid Milligan took
over in 1947. The Webfoots had
previously won six straight
league titles.
A combination of bad weather
over the tricky Corvallis coun
try club course and some hot
shooting by OSC's top men earn
ed the Beavers a tie with the
strong Ducks. Coach Jim Bar
rett’s team took a 5!2-3‘2 lead
in the morning best-ball play and
then held Oregon to a 10-8 mar
gin in the singles.
Oregon Stater's Jerry Clonin
ger and Bob Donnelly fired a hot
67 best-ball round, including
three birdies on the first four
holes, to take 2'a points from
Oregon's top duo of Neil Dwyer
and Don Bick. In other best-ball
play Ducks Chuck Huggins and
Barry Ott lost to Ray Lindquist
and Larry Trogen while Bob
Takano and Bob Norquist took
all three points from Beavers
Neils Reimers and A1 Wood.
In singles play the two teams
split almost evenly between
the upper and lower three men.
Five of the matches were
sweeps with C'loninger taking
two out of three from Dwyer
with a 72 to the Duck capt: / i’h
73 for the only break-through.
Bick shot a 76 and lost to Don
nelly, who had a 73, while Lind
quist's 76 was good enough to
heat Huggins' 78. Ott, with a 76,
Takano. 80, and Norquist, 75,
took all three points in their
matches with Trogen, 77, Reim
ers, 85, and Wood, 82.
Final action for the Webfoot
team will come this weekend at
Moscow where Oregon will de
fend its conference tournament
championship. Any of four teams
could take the title with only
WSC not a threat. Milligan has
indicated he will take Dwyer,
Ott, Norquist and either Hug
gins or Takano to the meet.

Spring Workouts End
As Whites Win, 36-0
A cold rain hampered Spring
Sports day^aturday but it didn't
stop Tom Crabtree from lend
ing Oregon's first-string foot
ball team to a 3(1-0 victory over
the reserves in the windup ses
sion of spring workouts.
Crabtree, the converted junior
halfback, passed for two touch
downs and set up another in lend
ing the White team to the win
over the Greens. Coach Len Casa
nova expressed pleasure over the
whole scrimmage as Dick .lames,
only returning backfield starter
for Oregon; Fred Mtklanelc,
hefty transfer from Boise junior
college, and Jim Shanley, up
from the Frosh, all looked im
pressive in the backfield for the
White squad.
The Whites scored first on a
Frosh Top Rooks
In Baseball Clash
Bob Basich's Frosh baseball
nine found “unlucky" number 13
to their liking as they trounced
the Oregon State Rooks 13-0 in
a rain-spattered game on Fri
day the 13th.
A game scheduled for Satur
day afternoon in Corvallis was
postponed by rain and will be
made up today on the Rook dia
mond.
Frosh hitters found OSC pitch
ing good and fat as they pound
ed out 12 hits, including four
home runs. Right-hander Don
Delbon went the full nine-inning
distance as he chalked up his
second win on a neat four-hitter.
Jerry l'mess pasted a three
run homer to lead the Duck
lings to a five-run first inning
and fattened his average with
another home run and a single
in five trips. Shortstop Jim
Pifher had a three-for-four
day.
Urness, standout for The Dalles
high last year, provided the scor
ing punch for the next Duckling
outbreak in the second inning.
The speedy centerfielder singled
to left, scoring Pifher and Jerry
Waldrop.
•15-yard pnsH from Crabtree to
Shanley, which was preceded by
a 12-yard gallop by James.
Shortly afterwards the Crabtree
to-Shanley combination clicked,
again when a 81-yard completion
act up a speedy 18-yard TD run
by Jack Morris, the freshman air
force veteran.
A second backfield of Miklan
cic, Leroy Phelps, another Frosh
alar of last fall, and Chuck Os
borne, a transfer from Menlo
JC, then took over and went 55
yards for a third score. Osborne
capped the drive with a 10-yard
scoring jaunt.
Not long afterwards James got
another push underway with a
30-yard runback of a punt. Mor
ris contributed several good
gains until Crabtree hit George
Slender, another Oregon trans
fer prise from Santa Rosa JC,
with a 25-yard TD pass.
The last two scores were di
rected by Wally Russell, orig
inally the Green starter at quar
terback. John Woyat and Mik
lanclc exchanged short gains on
one drive, with Russell taking
the slippery bull the final five
yards. The running of Jack
Brown, a transfer from East
Contra Costa JC, set up the final
score, which was also made by
Russell on an eight-yard dash.
