    'Duck 07'iac&&
By Jerry Claussen
Emerald Co-Sporti Editor a™
Oregon's defending champion track team faces its biggest
test of the season this weekend at the Northern Division meet
in Seattle. Hut Coach Bill powerman and his all-winning
squad have every right to be optimistic about the results. 1'he
Ducks figure to win easier than they did in 1954.
Last year Oregon swept through four straight confer
ence dual meets just as it did this year, but the lack of depth
almost cost the Webfoots the ND meet title. As it turned
out it took a few surprising performances on the part of the
Oregon runners to nose out Washington 49'4-48%. WSC
was third with 34.
This season it’s a little different story, however. The Ducks
have been hampered by the loss of key performers several
times during the conference season and still managed to win
most of their meets easily. And the big number of meet, field
and school records broken this season is a good indication of
the strength of this year's squad.
Records May Fall
The ND meet this season probably won’t be marked by
many record-breaking performances, but several will be at
least threatened. Oregon’s top-notch group of runners along
with a few field stars seem to be the key to another Duck vic
tory. The overall finish looks to be the same as last year, ex-j
cept that Idaho probably will replace Oregon State in fourth
place.
Picking the first place winners in each event is a chore
that is quite easy in some cases and pretty tough in others.
Generally there has been one man in the division in each
event that has successfully beaten all competition. But in
a few events the blue ribbon could go to anyone.
On perforances in division meets this season, here is how
the meet looks from here:
100-yard dash—1. Bob Cary. WSC, (9.7); 2. Bruce Springl»ett. Oregon, (9.9) ; !

(15.1) ; 3. Ron Lind. Wash., (15.4); 4. Ernie Warren. WSC. (15 4).
220-low hurdles 1. Alan Torgerson, WSC. (24.0) ; 2. Bob Leadbetter, Wash..
24.1); 3. Dean Singer, Wash.. (24.9); 4. Bill Sorsby, Oregon, (24 5).
Discus—1. Burl Grinols, WSC, (151* 8 5-8’*; 2. Terry Strom. Wash,, (148’ 2”);
3. Walt Badorek, Oregon, (147’ 0”): 4. Frank Brown. WSC, (140’ 0”).
Javelin—1. Jerry Church, OSC. (212’ 6 1-4") ; 2. Ed Bingham. Oregon, (209’ 9") ;
3. Paul Hanson. Idaho, (195* 11”); 4. Dwane Hodg-on. Idaho <,183’ 10”). ,
Shot put 1. Burl Crinols, WSC, (52’ 3-8”) ; 2. Jack Moad. Oregon, (49’ 10 1-2”) ;
3. Ben Lloydi Oregon. (50’ 0”); 4. Ed Sherron. Wash.. (47* 8”).
Pole vault 1. Jim Hilton. Wash., (13’ 6 1-4”); 2. Ken Hickenl>ottom. Oregon.
(13’ 0”); 3. Rus> Maunex, Oregon, 03’ 4”); 4. Jerry Ketiaston, WSC, (13’ 4”).
Broad Jump to redigo
Broad jump — 1. Martin Pedigo, Oregon, (24r 1”) ; 2. Wiftnir Cary. Ida&o,
(23* 31-2”); 3. Bill Bauscher, Idaho, (22' 5”); 4. Ken Brown, OSC. (22’ 4 1-2”).
High jump 1. Dean Singer, Wash., (O' 2") ; 2. Boh Bryan. Wash., (6* 1 3-8”);
3. Tom Wood, Wash., (6” 1 3-8”); 4. Chuck Phillips. Oregon. (5’ 10”).
Mile relav 1. Oregon, (3:21.4); 2. WSC, (3:21.7); 3. Washington, (3:26.1);
4 OSC, (3 :38.2).
According to these predictions, not all finishes necessarily
will come out in order or best XD meet showings by the
trackmen. In some cases the picks are made because of one
man beating another sometime during the season, others be
cause of known condition of the competitors at present and
others strictly on hunch.
Going by this lineup, Oregon will pile up 56 points with
Washington second with 47. WSC gets 37, Idaho 16 and
OSC is last with nine. Oregon should get six first places,
WSC figures for five, Washington for three and OSC one.
Thus it looks like a sweep for Oregon in track again this
season. Even without Dellinger and Railev running in two
races, which they could probably do with little loss of effec
tiveness in their specialties, the Ducks should win. Bowerman
has done a fine job wth a fine bunch of athletes.
Rooks Stop Ducklings, 6-3
Oregon State’s Rooks whipped
the Oregon Frosh for the first
time in four baseball meetings
Monday in a game that was halted
at the end of six innings because
of rain. The Rooks scored three
times in the last of the sixth to
win 6-3 at Corvallis.
Dave Gambee, 6' 6” basketball
star, twirled the win and Ron
Whittaker of the Frosh absorbed
the loss. Both hurlers went the six
inning route. Bob Cellars hit
three-for-four for Oregon.
The Ducklings play at Albany
high school tonight.

Geiger.
The loss dropped the Beavers in
to second place behind the Univer

8-1, Oregon State's is 6-1.
Geiger bested Oregon State's A1

the scoring. Guidotti gave up
only three hits.
Oregon State got its only run in
