OREGON FAVORED IN ND MEET
Web foots go after
7th straight crown
(Continued from page 1)
Miller, Oregon's nationalv ranked
two miler, will face Idaho's Ray
Hatton. Miller, who paced him
self to a 9:01.8 last week may
have a tough time against Hat
ton. Although the wiry English
man has only run a 9:13.3 this
year, he does have an 8:55 on
record from his younger days. If
Hatton has returned to his old
form he may give Miller a good
race, at least press Miller enough
to force him below the 9:00 mark.
Turning to the mile, it is a
foregone conclusion that Burle
son will be the winner. George
Larson, Oregon’s versatile run*
ner, will probably be a repeat
winner over OSC's Norm Hoff
man for second place.
ONE OF THE closest races of
the day will be the high hurdles
as Edstrom and Spike Arlt of
WSU take up their old duel
again. Edstrom, with a 13.8 to
his record, seems a sure favorite
over *Arlt, but a slight misstep
on either runners part could
change the whole outlook of the
meet. In the lows, it’s anybody’s
guess between Arlt and Edstrom.
In few races, it seems, can a
sure winner be picked. In the
440, one of tracks toughest races,
Oregon’s Sig Ohlemann (48.3i
and Rick Harder < 48.4» of Wash
ington and Ron Black (48.4) of
OSC will stage one of the tightest
races of the day. The 880 also
i could shape up to be a close or.e
; if Burleson doesn’t double.
I\ THE FIELD events. OSC’s
Neil Plumley (54-7'i) should
i have an easy time of it, but if he
I is off today. Oregon’s Jack Slo
! combe (52-3%) and UW’s Tony
Angell (52-10) could cop the first
! place. Edstrom, with a 51-6,
j should pick up a point here.
In the pole vault, Oregon's '
; Phil Pqquin and.WSU’s Wayne
Wilson, both 14-6 will be the top
' competitors with Paquin as the j
1 odds-on favorite.
In the high jump, it looks like |
| Hank Wyborney with a 6-11 is a
sure winner and potential 7 foot
jump may be in the making. In
the javelin, Gary Stenlund of
OSC with a toss of 260 is the fav
orite but Oregon's D. C. Mills
(232-5’o) may pull an upset.
Any way you look at it, the ■
winning margin will be close and
a sure winner will not likely
emerge until late in the meet.

Pictured on this page are two
Oregon athletes who will carry a
heavy burden in the Webfoot's
attempt to capture a seventh
straight Northern Division track
championship today at Hayward
field.
ON THE LEFT is D. C. Mills,
Oregon's number one hope in the
javelin event. Mills will definitely
have his work cut out for him to
day. He meets Oregon State’s
great Gary Stenlund, who last
week hurled the javelin 260-7 at
the Fresno Relays to win the
meet's most valuable competitor
award. Mills' best so far this
year has been around the 230
mark and, despite Stenlund’s fine
effort last week, the Beaver jav
year has been around the 230
thrower. At any rale. Mills should j
be rated as a strong contender. ,
OX THE RIGHT is Dyrol Bur
leson, heavy favorite in the mile
and a strong bet to pick up points
and a possible victory in the half
mile race as well.
Burley, who next week faces
Herb Elliott in the Modesto Re
lays feature mile, has a 3:58.6 in
the event, by far the best in the
Northwest.
Burleson also boasts the best
time in the half mile this year in
the Northern Division— a 1:50.0.
Even if he does double, the Cot
tage Grove flash should be able
to approach this time again.
