‘Duc&H By PKTK DOWNS . . . Of tilt* Trilllll Vi HI t «> . . . ■*■ Last weekend, skiers from the I'niversity of Oregon com peted at the Pacific Northwest Ski Association Class "C" slalom championships at Hoodoo Ski Howl. John Beer and Dick Brown tied for first place in the men’s division and Carla 1.aw son won the women’s championship. OREGON SKIERS probably will not enter any more meets this year-4-the only ones remaining are in Eastern Oregon anil are just too far away. In some respects, this has been an excellent season for the skiers. They have placed well in just about all the meets they have entered. . Hut lack of cooperation on the part of the Athletic De partment and the ASl'O Senate have been bitter disappoint ments. At present, the skiers pay their own expenses. Commissar Refuses ATHLETIC COMMISSAR Leo Harris lias consistently refused to recognize the existence of the ski team, which now represents the University only informally. Resides getting the runaround from the Athletic Depart ment, tiie skiers have also had some unhappy experiences with the ASUO Senate. This sterling body promised the ski team a certain amount of money tor the W inter Carnival. When the University pulled out of the Carnival, the Senate said the ,-kiers could have the money anyway and could use it for other meets. But UO’s Tammany Hall reneged and never did come forth with its promised offering. BUT THE SKIERS, battered but not beaten, have not yet given up on the ASUO Senate. They realize how reluc tantly politicians spend money and are still hopeful that the august group of potential Boss Tweeds will come through with a reasonable contribution for next year. Oregon ha.' potentially the strongest >ki team in the North west for next season. Brown, Beer, Jim King. Miss Lawson, and Mary Kay Norman form the nucleus for a capable scpiad. Unless there is a change in University policy, the skiers won’t represent the University next year—not even unoffi cially. THE WAY THINGS stand now, the team will bill itself as the “Ski Quacks” and will compete as such. Some other schools, which don’t get recognition from their respective athletic departments, race as club teams with money given by the student body. Prodding by school officials got Oregon State skiers spec ial rates at some lodges—something UO skiers have had to do w ithout. Need Only $500 How much money would the ski team need? John Beer, spokesman for the team estimates that $500 a year would be sufficient. He says, “$500 would pay for part of our ex penses. With this money, we could compete at many of the big meets held at places like Squaw Valley, Whitefish, and Sun \ alley.” COMPARED to the subsidies some other sports receive, $500 is not a large amount. Right now, the skiers do not get any help at all. The individuals must pay all expenses out of their own pockets. Skiing is probably the fastest-grow ing sport in the country, but the University takes no note of it. The fine results ob tained by UO skiers justify their being helped out, if not completely subsidized, by the University.

At Howe Field Ducks Host PSC; Meet Pilots Friday The weather hasn't been ton good In Eugene this week.and per haps the law of averages will catch up with the VVebfoot base ball team. The Ducks haven't had a game postponed yet this year, and barring cloudbursts. Don Kirsch's team will meet Portland State this afternoon ul Howe Field. GAME time is 3 p.m. a n d Kirsch plans to start Bill Sim mons on the mound. Simmons has been used only in relief so far this year, but will get a chance to go the distance against the Vikings. Oregon is 10-4 for the season, and undoubtedly wi)l have one of the best won-lost marks when the Northern Division season opens April 21. THE WEBFOOTS play Port j land University at Howe Field i tomorrow, and then travel to the [ i’dots' home field for a Satur day game. Dei.ny Peterson will pitch the Friday game, but the Saturday starter is still in doubt. First baseman Jim Hollister probably won’t play against the Vikings. Ktrsch has been using wall Baranski in his place, and the long-ball hitting senior will moat likely hold down flrat again to day. Ol'TFIBLDERS Ed David son. with .375. and Jim Cloutier, with .348, pace the Ducks at t he plate. Catcher Kay Haroldaon. 341, Inficlder Trev Swangard, 333; Hollister, .326. are also among Klrsch's top hitters. Dick Oochiuto, at .304, rounds out Oregon's .300 hitters.
