PP Predicts Title After last week’s resounding success (when he missed the winning score by only five points, and picked several events right on the nose), and following'tremendous public acclaim, the Prestigious Prognosticator has consented to return once more to the Oregon Daily Emerald sports page. Again PP’s method of forecasting will be the same. How ever, since the Northern Division Championships are scored on a 5-3-2-1 basis. PP will correctly predict the first four finishers in all 18 events. Again, well-founded and intelligent remarks will follow each prediction. IN; Deibele UO, Johnson WSU, Hickman WSU, Lapham WSU. Deibele is not better than third on paper, but he wins. SW: Deibele UO, Hickman WSU, Temple UW, Lapham WSU. A pair of titles for the sophomore. 440: DuPree UW. Van Zandt WSU, Pancoast OSU, McCorkindale WSU. Any one of the top three could take this one. 880: Bell UO, Scott UO. Crunican UO, Parker OSU. If PP were the fourth Duck entered, we'd sweep. Mile: Bell UO, Roberts UW, Westman WSU, Wilborn UO. Oregon’s second double winner, and Wilborn could finish better. 3 Mile: Lindgren WSU, Moore UO, Westman WSU, Mortenson UO. Lindgren's well now and one of the best in the world. Steeplechase: Mortenson UO. Hunt OSU, Hansen UO, Dahl WSU. Bruce is the defending champ and is just rounding into shape. 12« Hurdles: Blum UO, Roe UW, Hunter UO, Williams UW. No contest. 440 Hurdles: Williams UW, Buller UO, Cope UO, Dally WSU. Williams is all-everything, but only good enough to win one event. 440 Relay: UW. UO, WSU. Watch out for Washington State. Mile Relay: WSU, OSU, UW, UO. The Ducks are hopelessly out classed. Long Jump: Albin OSU, Jackson OSU, Brame UO, Williams UW. Albin’s the best, and Jackson beat Brame last week. Discus: Steinhauer UO, Pemberton UW, Tollefson OSU, Hanson UW. Neal has beaten him before, and he’ll do it again. High Jump: Keppel WSU, Pickering UW, White OSU, Brice WSU. Second place is up for grabs here. Javelin: Lowry OSU, O’Donnell WSU, Heikkila UO, Sagle UO. A two-way battle between Lowry and O’Donnell. Pole Vault: Herganrather OSU, Precht WSU, Varley UO, Glaeser OSU. Varley has beaten Herganrather and could finish better than third. Shot Put: Steinhauer UO, Samsam OSU, Tollefson OSU, Foskett UO. Make it four titles in two years for the huge Duck Triple Jump: Talbott WSU, Williams UW, Brame UO, Sonnen schein UO. Talbott should win easily with Albin out. Total: Oregon 75, Washington State 50, Oregon State 39, Washing ton 35. Almost In' Cougars Face Ducks In Three Game Series The magic number for the Ore-1 gon baseball team is 12. Any combination of six Wash ington State losses and six Ore gon wins will bring the Webfoots their second Northern Division baseball title in three years. Only trouble is, there are ex actly one dozen games for that combiration of 12 to be met . . . which means that to win the N.D. title the Webfoots must win their remaining six games while the Cougeis must lose all of theirs. And the Cougars, fourth - ranked nationally and boasting a full five-game lead over second place Oregon in the Northern Di vision race, invade Howe Field this weekend for a three-game se ries with the Ducks. Oregon coach Don Kirsch rea lizes that WSU is in the N.D. driver’s seat, but will give noth ing away for this series. “We re going to be fighting them all the way,” he said. Kirsch is expected to go with the three pitchers that have been doing most of the toiling for the Ducks so far this season, Jer ry Gjesvold (3-2, 2.25), Ken Had den (3-3, 3:51) and Mike Nicksic (3-2, 3.24). Gjesvold has been especially effective lately, pitching 12 1/3 innings of fine relief against Washington last weekend. As of now. the weekend series seems to be a hitters versus pitch ers battle. The hurler-rich Cougars, with a trio of pitchers rated high on the Northern Division pitching statistics, will attempt to quiet the bats of the hard-hitting Ducks. Going into the weekend’s ac tion, the Webfoots are perform ing at a .285 clip as a team at the plate. A brace of Ducks, short stop Ron Delplanche and outfield er Dennis Baldridge, are cur rently leading the Northern Di vision in batting with .395 and .385 averages respectively. Baldridge continues to lead the team in hitting with a .396 aver age. Delplanche is second at .355 and is closely followed by catch er Dale Ehler at .337. Friday’s game is billed to start at 3 p.m., while the Saturday doubleheader will start at 1:30 p.m. Only two home games remain after the WSU series. Oregon State is scheduled for double header action on Howe Field Sat urday, May 21. Use Emerald Classified Ads— Berry, Renfro, Lead Alumni In 2nd Straight Win Quest Cas Leads Varsity Against Strong Alumni By RICK FITCH Emerald Sports Writer The 1966 edition of the varsity football team will take on an alumni all-star squad led by form er Oregon greats Bob Berry and Mel Renfro in the seventh an nual alumni-varsity contest Sat urday at 2 p.m. on Hayward Field.

"Ordi narily the lies! thing in a game like this is passing" He hopes that the rigorous spring practice may enable the varsity gridder* to "out-condition" the alumni Casanova -aid that the game will help the team since compet ing against different players is more of a challenge, especially such professional players as Mer ry.
