feated track and field team will
attempt to end the season with
a perfect record as they invade

margins, and they are heavily
favored to repeat.

in the Ftook machine is 6’8''
W ayne Moss, who has high
jumped 6'4” and consistently
throws the shot 41'.
Rooks Bill Fredericks and A!
Leinan are strong in the hurdles,
and Sam Wesley, now that spring
football workouts are finished,
should get points in the sprints

cinch to pick up points in the
distances, as OSC is very short
handed in those events. Jack
; Morris bettered varsity times in
the century and low hurdles in
> the Oregon-OSC meet May 14.
Sam Whitney will pole vault
and run the high hurdles, and
versatile Don Steen will probably
enter the high hurdles, the jave
1 lin and the discuss. Paul Tu
, chardt will make a strong bid
' for points in the discus, and
other weight men include Jerry
Kershner, Norm Chapman and
; Bill Alvorado.

'Klu' Back Again
NEW YORK (AP)—Ted Klus
zewski, the famed “Mr. Muscles”
of the Cincinnati Redlegs, finally
has started belaboring National
league pitchers with home runs
and base hits in the manner to
which they’re accustomed.
Kluszewski slammed three ho
mers last week to deadlock Duke
Snider of Brooklyn for the lead
at 11. He also collected nine
other hits in 23 at bats—a .522
pace—and pushed his batting
average to .321, good for a sixth
place tie with Milwaukee's John
ny Logan.
The veteran Redlegs’ first base
man hit 49 homers in 1954 and
for a time threatened Babe
Ruth's all-time mark of 60. For
the record, both he and Snider
are all even this season with the
Bambino's 1927 pace.
