USC Coach ' Admits Ducks Are Better Los AngcIos-fllPD-Jess Hill University of Southern Call fornia track coach, admits that on paper Oregon appears to have a better track team than the Trojans-but warned not to predict a Duck victory when the teams clash in their big dual meet Saturday at the Coliseum. USC, probably the nation's outstanding track and field school for the past two dec ades, Is riding a streak of 104 dual meet victories without defeat going back to 1943. Hill told the Track and Field Writers Association luncheon Monday that Oregon should snap that Trojan streak, but then Insisted everyone would have to wait until meet time. The Coliseum Commission is spendingg $1"5,000 to re place the running track now that the Dodgers are gone. Since the baseball team ar rived in 1958 only three meets were held, and all on grass. Hill, SC's athletic director who took over a. acting track " ..................... n the death of Jesse Morlonsen, snirt the Trojans have a dedicated team and could win the meet "with a super effort." In Oregon we are meeting the finest dual meet team this country has seen In a long time," he said. Although virtually conced- ingg the 880, mile and two mile to the Ducks, Hill thought his brilliant quarter miler, Rex Crawley, not only could win the 440-yard dash but return to score a double with an upset victory in the 220-yard low hurdles. Hill pointed out that Ore gon has such outstanding dis tance runners USC athletes could run 1:50 8 in the .10 and 4:0B in the mile and not break into the top three I finishers. .. ft..

Jones scored 12 points in the second quarter and then ignited the big Boston rally with five baskets in the open ing minutes of the third quarter to bring the Celtics from behind into a safe lead.
