By DICK S TRITE IttKlster.Gaard Mparts Editor A quartet of swift-footed and strong-hearted Oregon Web foots shattered a pair of mile-relay records before 2000 screaming spectators at Hayward Field Saturday afternoon to give Coach Bill Bowerman's thinclads a stirring 69-61V4 dual track meet victory over wasnington s nusKies. oacn Hec Edmundson's Seattle squad was figured as the "team to beat", in Northern Division competition this season and with the aid of three Oregon freshmen and Decathlon Cham pion George Widenfelt, the Huskies nearly turned tne tncK. Winning the first five events and rolling up a nearly 24-point ad vantage, it looked like the Webfoots would sail through without a threat. With the count 48V4 to 23 after eight events, Bowerman was making plans to run his shock troops in the final relay event. Washington swept the discus, as was expected, but the Huskies also came up with nine points in the low hurdles which wasn't expected. That closed the gap to only four points. Then Widenfelt, competing in his fourth event of the aftenfoon, nosed out Jack Smith and Tommy Edwards of Oregon in the broad jump, leaving the re lay the deciding event. The Oregon margin, steadily dwindling, was down to three points, af Oregon's Bill Fell and Bob Hut chison of Washington took their marks for the first leg of the re lay. Fell, who had previously won the 100 and 220-yard dashes, man aged to pound his way on even terms with the Husky, who had given Oregon's ace sprinter a sur prising test in both the century and furlong.

Lawlor, athletic director and head coach at the University of Nevada, formerly played in the Pacific Coast League. The Silver Sox competed for the past two seasons in the Far West League, which abandoned .opera tions mis season, rne xteno ream plans a 40-game schedule of con tests against semi-pro nines, most of them to be played here. Eugene has been offered two spots in a proposed State Learue schedule and a berth In the "expensive" Southwest Ore- srnn Learue but apparently there are no "takers.' ... ine aoutn west Oregon spot, comparable to the old uascaae league in ine matter of caliber of play and "salary, was made possiDie wnen Reedsport dropped out. ... It doesn't seem likely that sponsors would be willing to finance one or more clubs of Cascade League calber (costing from $1500 to $3500 annually for ona club), but the State League could b oper ated for considerably les It would require something like $2000 each to start operation and if the players were willing to play for a "share of the net gate" on a share basis (jobs would hava to be provided for college boys), the operation would cost the sponsor or sponsors virtually nothing. . . . There are several other attractions good attend ance here, little travel (Mt. Angel the longest jaunt), and tha home team taking its own gate receipts with the traveling team paying its own expenses. ... Numerous local semi-pro play ers have expressed their willing- sz T,.rin. om van bkockhn Coqullle and other cities But Mar ' Here Aga,n there have been no offers to sponsor the local teams. . . . One pro posal was to have "merchant" and "lumber" teams in the State j League. Another is to have ona team from Eugene and another from Springfield both playing home games at Bethel Park. ... The Southwest Oregon League is awaiting Eugene's answer. The State League expects the local baseballers to be represented at al final organization meeting at Albany Monday night, April 21. An effort will be made to interest baseball men in this area In a last-ditch try to keep soma type of baseball in Eugene other than high school, Junior Legion, and bush ball. fc Somewhat ancient history and timely only In view of the openlnr of spring football at Oregon are a few statistics from the late National Football League season, . . . Woodley Lewis, Oregon Los Angeles who was one of the top Interception leaders in 1950 (12 for a 22.9-yard average), had only 3 for an 11.3-yard average for the Rams last season. . . . Dan Garza, Oregon-New York (Dallas) Yankees, was on tha receiving end of 31 passes for a 15.2-yard aver age and 4 touchdowns. . . . About the only statistics publicized at tha close of the season was Norm Van Brocklln's passing record, which was just under Bob Waterfield's championship mark. . . . Ken Carpenter, OSC-Cleveland scored 38 points, Garza 24 and Van,Brocklln 12. . , , Carpenter hadi (Oemtmuoa m Pott TtrurUtn) Still At It KANSA8 CITY All-America Clyde Lovellette poured In 31 points In leading the West All Stars to a 72-63 victory over the East In the Shrlners first benefit basketball game for crippled children's hospitals Saturday night. The relay, that bettered tha meet and Oregon school record, was one of the most breath-taking events staged on Hayward Field in years and years and the cash customers went home forgetting Martin's final mile run, Hutchins' great victory over Ken Morgan of Washington in the 880, and Dennis Meyer's record-breaking two-mlla run. Field Ryan, Washington sopho more held the lead In the mile for three laps, but both Martin and Fred Turner passed up the Husky on the final lap and Martin won going away by 15 yards. MORGAN HELD the lead In the first lap of the 880, with Team mate Vandenhoof second, Hutch ins third. Like in the relay, Hutch ins gradually closed the gap and made his big bid on the last turn and came into the stretch on even terms, passing Morgan in the last 60 yards to win by three strides. Wayne Reiser, running his first two-mile event, kept on the heels of Meyer until the final lap In a race that was a two-man affair after the first half mile. But the Eugene freshman faded badly and was beaten by 75 yards. Meyer's mark of 9:26.8 beat by 7.2 seconds a 22-year-old meet record set by Oregon's Clarence Hill in 1930.
