.Swamping wan the word for
describing Oregon'* final 1955
Northern Division dual trai'k
meet victory Saturday as Coach
Bill Bowerman's Ducks repeated
their ND dual championship In a
tiT-.'i-t trouncing of Oregon State
on a soaked Hayward field.
Cold rain fell throughout the
meet, letting up only for a couple
of the races. In spite of the pool
weather, a crowd of 2500
watched the undefeated Web
foots take all but three events.
Attraction Jf the day was
the mile duel between the
Ducks* distance duo, Bill Dell
inger and tini Ba ley. Officials
called the rwe a tie after Iroth
men crossed the line In 1:18.0,
a new meet record.
When contacted. Bailey said
that rumors circulating that the
race hud been a "pre-planned
tin" were "unfortunate." "The
only thing I regret Is that the
time was slow, and not indica
tive of what Bill and I can do,"
said the Australian star. "We
should have done better, but
neither of us saw any reason to
kill ourselves for what would
only be a mediocre time."
The winning time bettered th>
old OSC-Oregon standard set in
1953 at 1 19.3 by A1 Martin of
the Ducks.
Also breaking meet records
were Ken Itelser In the two
aalle and Ben I.loyd in the shot
put. Itelser was 1.7 seconds un
der his last year's mark hi his
9:28.0 run.
Frosh Winners
In Track Match
The Oregon Frosh copied the
winning exnmple of the varsity as
they defeated the OSC Rooks in
a dual track and field meet Sat
urday, 7-r> to 48. Don Meskimen,
Jack Morris and Bob% Dry nan
were the big guns in the Duckling
victory as they each nabbed
double wins.
Morris ran remarkably con
sidering the handicaps of condi
tions and the tiring 60-minute
football scrimmage he played in
earlier in the misty day. His time
of 10.0 in the 100-yard dash and
his :24.9 clocking in the 220 low
hurdle race w’ere three-tenths and
eight-tenths of a second faster
than the varsity times in those
respective events.
Distance ace Don Meskimen
was a double victor in taking
both the mile and two-mile runs.
To conserve on time both the
freshmen and the varsity ran at
the same tinfe in these two
events. Both the half-mile and
the mile relay events were also
run simultaneously with the var
sity. Bob Drynan won the half
mile in 2:00.4 and anchored the
winning relay team.
Big guns for the Rooks were
Wayne Moss, who cleared 6’ in
thevhigh jump and out-distanced
all opponents in the shot put with
a heave of 44' 9”, and Bill Fred
ricks, who won the high hurdles,
placed second in the low hurdles
and finished third in the 100-yard
dash.
Lloyd topped one of the meet's
! oldest records with a heave of
j 50' in the shot put, eclipsing the
49’ 27/»" of Bill Foskett of Ore
gon in 1937.
Defending division champion
Jerry Church of the Beavers
threw 212' 3" to edge the Ducks’
Kd Bingham, who had the best
day of his career with a 209' 9”
mark.
Despite Bailey's absence In
the half-mile to concentrate on
the mile, Oregon came through
with a victory in the KHO with
Doug Clement. The veteran
senior was In old form as he
floated to an easy win in 1
He had ls-en sidelined with a
leg Injury earlier in the sea
son and was slow recovering.
I>-Roy Campbell was the Web
foot's only double winner, tak
ing both the 100 and 220-yard
dashes. Bruce Springbett, usual
ly victor in the short sprints, ran
just the 440, where he was a
surprise winner in 50.4. fighting
off Gordon Dahlquist’s tremend
ous kick from fifth to second
place.

homer in the first inning and a
two-run single in the second,
scoring George Shaw and Neal
Marlett. Marlett batted in Shaw
in the sixth with a triple and
Dick Schlosstein doubled home
Norm Forbes in the seventh for
