Hi figures don't mean a thing right now because he has been unable to get a line or. Montana, and the Grizzlies have some very good cindermen. But as soon as the veteran Oregon and Olympic track coach has the necessary information he'll be able to tell you to within a few points what the result of the meet will be and our guess is that he'll come up with facts and figures that will give the Webfoots the track title. This may seem unusual in view of decisive defeats at the hands of both Washington and Washington State. But when vou portion out the points over a six-,team field those fir? places' are rather potent. Take last season, for example. Jake Leicht rave Oregon firsts in the 108 and 220. Bill Beifuss in the high jump and Bill Kydd in the javelin. Maxey and Swan provided seconds in the 220 and 440, respectively; McClure a third in the 880 an Wriaht a third In the low hurdles; Deines a third-place tie In the pole vault, and Gerity a fourth-place tie In the high lump. That save Oregon 31 110 points, nine-tenths of a point behind Oregon State's cham pionship team. Neiv York Giants Take Over National Loop Leac? HI I. I I I " There is every reason to believe that Orecron will repeat in the sprints, the high Jump and Javelin. Add to this an almost certain first in the pole vault and you nave 21 points without possible sec onds, thirds and fourths. ticht, Wally Still, Carl Maxey and Dave Henthorne are all potential point-winners in the sprints, but Colonel Bill will likely confine Henthorne to the 220, 440 and relay. Wm Wright should , score In the hurdles. Both lou Robinson and Jim Porter should place in the Javelin.

Hartung Hurls Second Victory Associated Press The startling renascence of the New York Giants is matched only by the almost incredible perfor mance of its talented rookie phe nom, Clint Hartung. Last place finishers in 1948, the Giants today lead the National League and have won seven out of their last eight games on their western road trip. The hard-hitting of Johnny Mize and Walker Cooper have figured prominently in the Giants' dra matic rise from the bottom of the circuit to the top but the talk among the Giants la all Hartung. Transplanted from the outfield to the pitching mound because of his inept fielding, Hartung has won two straight games including Tuesday night's 9-1 triumph over Cincinnati on eight hits. In addition, Hartung rapped out a triple and single as the Giants sailed into four Cincinnati pitch ers for IS blows.
