The feud between the Amateur Athletic Union (A.A.U.) and the NC A A, sponsored United States Track and Field federation has, at long last, reached a settlement. I he leaders of the two warring groups met with General Douglas MacArthur, the Prcsidentially appointed arbitra tor, and came to an agreement that is supposed to last until the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. I nder the pact, a hoard composed of three men from each group will select the American athletes for the Olym pics, an immediate amnesty was declared for athletes who have been disqualified by either group, and the ban on the use of athletic facilities by the other group was lifted. Reaction by observers tended to suggest that the U S.T.F.F. came out ahead after the compromise and also have a position to improve their gains in talks that will com mence after the Olympics.talks that will be designed to hammer out a final solution. I he settlement came as good news to the sponsors of the Oregon Invitational Indoor track and field meet in Port land Meet director Bob Newland figures that a dual sanc tion for the meet from the two groups is now almost a cer tainty which will allow all the non-collegiate runners to participate. These include, among others, Dyrol Burleson. Ralph Boston and Parry O'Brien. “Good Step Forward" I .oral track and field enthusiasts, all of whom have sup ported the \ ('A A generally mirrored track coach Bill Bowerman's comment that the settlement was. ‘‘A real good step forward.” Bowerman has been among the leaders for the college group in its attempt to break the A.A.U. monopoly. He stated that he hadn't anticipated a more favorable settle ment to the collegians. 'It takes a while.” he said, meaning of course that this would only be the beginning of the struggle. Newland was especially enthusiastic about the truce. He said, it's great. This is the way it should be.” Athletic Department publicist Hal Childs was a little more pessimistic. He called the settlement an “armed truce”. However, he admitted that the U.S.T.F.F. “gained a little ground.” Another, more optimistic, member of the Athletic De partment said that the pact “appears to be. on the surface, a substantial gain for the Federation.” He also pointed out that this is the first time that the A.A.U. has even recog nized that the Federation existed It is also the first time that any organizaion has shared any kind of control over the selection of Olympic athletes in the history of the A.A.U. Not The End We also agree that the settlement gave a substantial gain in prestige and power to the Federation. However, as it now stands, the truce is very far from being any kind of a final solution to the problem We imagine that the A.A.U. is not about to relinquish the power they have held for so long. With such a temporary peace they can still work to put down the collegiate rebel lion. Until the 1964 Olympics, only General MacArthur stands as an enforcer of the settlement. Anyway, peace has been restored for the time being and the nation’s track and field men can run whenever they want, wherever they want, without fear of a suspension This is the good that came out of the settlement. We hope that any disputes that arise between now and the Olympic Games will not be of too serious a nature because if they are. they could cause a dispute that might not be as easily settled as this one was. Child's “armed truce” idea is the one that appeals to us as the most appropriate. Both sides are wary of this settlement. The Federation wants to get more power until it is recog nized internationally and the A.A.U. surely wants to regain its old authority and prestige. With a situation such as this, even though a truce has been called, one can still look for a display of fireworks at any little disagreement. It is doubtful that the peace will remain until 1964. But here’s hoping another dispute won’t bring the consequences to the athlete that the last one did.

Jim Johnson played an import ant role both nights He scored 14 in the first game and 11 in the sec ond besides getting 17 rebounds for the series. Belko plans to give the team a respite from practice today but will have them back on the court Tuesday for Friday's all-important game with Washington The Docks squeezed nast th" Huskies 59-57 in their first meeting. Friday; UO 60, WSU 51 Friday night, the Ducks jumped off to an early lead and then held on to it for the remainder of the game. The Wcbfoots pulled away from the beginning and led by 13 points early in the first period The Cou gars were able to narrow the gap to only a single point in the sec ond half. After that however they cooled off and the Jones-led Ducks opened up an 11 point lead to win going away. Jones topped Oregon's scorers with 19 points and Moore and Johnson contributed 14 apiece. Ted Werner led the Cougars with 16 and Bvron Vadset added 10. Saturday, UO 58, WSU 44 The following night it was pret ty much the same story with the Webfoots taking and early lead and maintaining it throughout the game. Although both teams were pret ty much on the cold side, it was a case of the Ducks being able to hit a little more often than did the Cougars. Belko wasn’t as impressed with the team’s performance Saturday as he was after Friday’s game but said that part of the letdown might be attributed to the fact that several of the players got up set stomachs from the food they bad eaten in Pullman. As a result, they weren't quite up to par. Moore led the Ducks with 21 points and 9 rebounds. Jones chipped in 14 counters. Jim Walton paced the losers with 15 points and Vadset again took runner-up honors with 14.
