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.

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.
It will be the first big test for
next year’s varsity after corn
pletioti of the month tong spring
training session.
Commenting on the varsity’s
chances for victory, head football
coach Len Casanova said "We're
always out to win." hut added.
"You never know about these
games."
The varsity has a 4 2 edge in
the series, hut lost last year, (I :t.
to an alumni team led by the
same Bob Berry who will quarter
back this year's team
Joining Berry on the alum
team, coached by Jack Crabtree,
quarterback for the 11157 Duck
Rose Bowl team, will he two
other members of Oregon's !5)«3
"Firehouse Four" backtield. Hen
fro and l.arrv Hill.
Berry holds the Duck career
records for passing and total of
fense, while Renfro has tin- high
e»t career kickoff return average,
the fourth best career mark for
total yards gained rushing, and
holds the Duck season scoring
record.
Other Oregon "greats" return
ing for the game include Dave
Wilcox, now a linebacker on the
San Francisco Forty-Niners. Hay
Palm, the second leading Oregon
career receiver, and eleven other
members of last year’s varsity.
Casanova hopes to counter the
potent alum attack with an of
lOIlM* wnirii muuurs nnm
dugc at <|uarterback, Jim Smith
and Steve Jones at the halfback
slots, and Junior college transfer
Jim Kvenson at fullback.
Split end I.achlan Heron and
tight end Steve Itidna will lie the
chief targets for linindage, who
led the Ducks in passing last
season
Other members of the start
inn offensive line include Dan
Archer and Itoss Carter at tackles.
Hotter Stahlhut and Warner Wong
at guards and Util Smith at cen
ter.
The starting defensive harktield
for the Duck*, comprised of "mon
ster hack Jerry lUchards. safety
Tim Temple and halfbacks Ken
Klein and la s I’ahn, sliould have
its hand full ining to stop Berry's
passes to danker Itenfro, split
end I’ahn and tight end Rich
Schwab
"The alumni passing will hurt
our boys." said Casanova. "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. Renfro, and Wilcox.
