Final road crucials Ducks slate two contests with UW A crucial two-game series with the Washington Huskies will get underway Thursday as the Ducks wind up their six-game northern swing. Oregon will be seeking revenge against the Huskies in the Thurs day and Friday contests as the Washington squad ended an Ore gon five-game winning streak two weeks ago. The first series between the two rivals was abbreviated due to rain which forced cancellation of the second game of the series. Oregon, Washington and Ore gon State are currently involved in one of the closest three-way races in Northern Division base ball history. The Huskies have been a sur prise this season and have cap tured seven of 10 division games. The Huskies have the advan tage in the close race as they only have four games remaining and all four are at Seattle. Washington has six lettermen on their 1959 squad from the ND j fourth place team of 1958. L>ead ing veteran on the Washington squad is two year letterman out 1 fielder Jerry Thornton. Certain to ■ see action for Washington in the ; crucial two-game series is junior hurler Earle Irvine who was credited with the 1-0 win the Washington diamondmen scored 1 over the Ducks in Drain, two | weeks ago. Other Husky lettermen are Jack Walters, catcher; Don Daniels and George Grant in the infield; vet | eran pitchers Daryl Burke, Floyd : Harlington and Ken Jacobsen. Coach Don Kirsch will prob ably rely on his mound staff of Jack Loy. Hugh Springer and ■ Denny Peterson to silence the po ! tent Washington batting attack. Washington will wind up its season with two contests against ; league-leading Oregon State and : following the contests in Seattle when Webfoots will return home I for two crucial battles with the : Beavers, one in Corvallis and one 1 here. Records expected to fall in field events The finest collection of field i evenf men in the history of the j Northern Division will be on hand | at Hayward field Saturday to add considerable spice to an al- j ready attractive meet. Proof of the excellence of the entry list in the six events is! twofold. First, no less than five j of the meet records have been sur i passed by one or more of the1 competitors during the regular season’s competition, and sec ondly, one or more of the entries in each of the events is ranked in the top ten nationally. In the broad jump Darrell Horn of Oregon State has leaped 25’ 5’i,” which is better than the meet record of 25-2 Vi held by Martin Pedigo, and Steve Ander son of the Ducks has been 25’ V4 ’’ to give the division its first pair of 25-foot jumpers in history. Oregon’s pit, however, is a tough one and the record is more J apt to stand than be broken. Ore- • gon’sDave Edstrom (23*5%") and WSC’s Bill Brownson (23’8>4”) are the most serious threats to the leaders if they should slip and there are also three other jumpers right at 23 feet who might slip in for points. In the pole vault tlie record of lt’SVs” is held by Webfoot Jack Burg and he, along with the ailing Phil Paquin of the Ducks, have bettered that height this season. The defending champion, Cliff LaBounty of Washington (14’ 3l/2”), and Don Ellingsen of WSC (14’3”> combine with two 13’6’’ vaulters, Dari McAllister of Ore gon and Don Failla of Washing tin, to make it the best pole vault field in division history. Defending champion Don An acker of Washington has a mark of 116’-2” in the discus, two feet better than Dick Doyle of Mon tana’s mark, and he'll need his best to defeat Steve Frye of WSC (154’-4”), Gene Estes of Oregon (160'-2l-2")> and Husky Bert Ben der (157’-1V’>. and OSC’s Don Martin (153’-6”). Frye, who had a 56’-10” effort early and hasn't come back to it yet, has stiff shot put competition from Bender (55'-212") of the Huskies and it looks like a two man scrap in this event with two Beavers, Duane Marshall (51’-1”) and Neil Plumley (5r-5’”> the best best for the remaining two places. Oregon’s ailing D. C. Mills must lick a sprained back to oust Dick Rubenser of WSC from his cham pionship in the javelin. Mills (243’ 10”). needs his best to win over the Cougar ace (227-10) and the other top men in the field include John Douglas of Washington (220 11) and Webfoot Paul Bernick (215-2 Ms). OSC’s Wayne Moss is a heavy favorite (6-7) in the high jump, the early event where the record (6’8 13/16” by Les Steers of Ore gon) appears safe, and the battle for the other places will be wide open with Edstrom (6’-4”) and Ken Grant of Oregon (6’-4”), and three 6’-2” jumpers, Duane Ker anen and Dale Preedy of Wash ington State and John Hunter of the Beavers scrambling for the other places. Students will not be admitted to the meet with their athletic pass, they must pay a $.50 charge. Adult tickets are $1.50; both stu dent and adult tickets are now on sale at the athletic office. All seats for the event are unre served. Use Emerald Classified Ads— NEED CANOE FETE SUPPLIES?

Bud Kuykendall hurled a | masterful game, as he led ATO to a convincing 5-1 victory over 1 the Legal Eagles for the intra mural softball championship Tuesday. Kuykendall, known for his basketball and bowling talent on University varsity squads, limited the lawmen to one hit in going the full seven Innings. The winners put together one hit in the first which was enough to get them an early one run lead. Butch Kimpton led off the inning with a walk and eventually scored on Kuykendalls bunt single. Dan Segal opened the second frame by gettingon on an error and scored as Jerry Anderson reached first on another Legal Eagle miscue which scored Segal. No Legal Eagle batters reached first in the initial four innings. Kuykendall struck out the first eight opposing stickers and re tired Joyle Dahl, the law school hurler, on a popup to the mound. The ATO batsmen got on Dahl in the third, as they bunched three hits together to score a trio of tallies. Chuck Rask led off the third frame with a single, Savola reached the first sack on an error. The two crossed the plate on Segal’s hit. Segal later scored the final ATO run later in the in ning after two were out. Bill Ferguson got the only hit for the losers which did not come till the sixth. Ferguson’s hit was a big one at that, as he clubbed a homer off the ATO moundsman, to open the inning. Kuykendall struck out 12 Legal Eagles in the seven frames. Ducks win 13-2: gain ND lead NORTHERN DIVISION Oregon Oregon State Washington Wash.
