MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY. JUNE 14. 1962 Webfoots Regarded as Cinch In NCAA's Cinder Encounter By HAL WOOD . Eugene, Ore. (UPU Univer sity of Oregon looked like a lead-pipe cinch today to win the NCAA track and field championships on its own field as 300 athletes from 90 schools congregated here for the opening of two days of competition Friday. Headed by a trio of great distance runners, led by Dyrol Burleson, plus hurdles king Jerry Tarr, and sprinter Har ry Jerome, the Webfoots are expected to tow-rope the field to take the crown for the first time in history. Perennial champion Univer sity of Southern California should give the Webfoots their toughest competition. Oregon Squad Largest Coach Bill Bowerman's Webfoots have 22 men en-tered-by far the largest squad in the meet. USC has only 14, followed by Oregon State with 13. Villanova, the ICAA champion, has five men com peting. Abilene Christian, a powerhouse from the South west, has only two. In past years it has taken an average of about 60 points to win this event. Oregon fig ures to score that many easily. The entry list was held down this year somewhat by the installation of minimum standards in each event. For instance, a runner had to have a mark of 9.5 seconds or bet ter to be eligible to compete in the 100. Raised Approaches The favored men in this event are Frank Budd of Vil lanova, Harry Jerome of Ore gon and Bob Hayes of Florida A&M. Budd and Hayes each has been clocked in 9.2, Jer ome in 9.3. The mile event, in which many athletes used to enter just so they could get a free ride, has a minimum standard of 4:08 this time. That elim inated all except about 20 this time-compared with 30 to 40 in other days. The broad jumpers and pole vaulters will be introduced to something new in track and field equipment here. Host coach Bill Bowerman has an elevated running approach for each event. In the broad jump the 180-foot approach is a foot high, made of planks standing on edge. The surface is made of plywood covered with asphalt.

Mixed Blessings That there are mixed bless ings in local athletics is shown by the high school grand stand construction project. Happily, the 4,000-scut west side stand is on the way to junior home game has to be played at Ashland because of lack of a diamond here. There just ought to be another Med- ford diamond available. But, perhaps, play of Med- ford's junior Legion double header at the Southern Ore gon college field against Coi Bay this Sunday afternoon could turn out to be a bless ing, too.- We just hope that a representative group of Ash landers are on hand to see how entertaining the junior Legion brand of ball is. May be, it could stimulate this year's thoughts of an Ashland Legion team into real action next year. Grandstand Plans Impress We were given the privilege of sitting in with stadium committeemen this week when they approved adjust ments in the stadium plans and specifications to meet with city building require ments.

Steeped in honor and tradition is the official U. S. Marina Corps Standard, shown above side by side with the American Flag, during formal ceremonies at Marine Barracks, Washington, 0. C.

The AAWU Council, composed of athletic directors and faculty representatives of member schools, steadfastly refused to discuss the possibility of ex pansion earlier this week but stubborn rumors concerning the Cougars kept flowing. "We've been interested in expanding since the confer ence was formed in 1959," said Council President Dr. Ar thur R. Kooker, who made the Washington State an nouncement. "But it was a matter of Ironing out certain details. Kooker, of the University of Southern California, said it was the hope of the confer ence that further expansion would follow. "We've gone on record as hoping that ultimately we will be able to include our other Northern neighbors," he said, "but we did not discuss any other schools today." Kooker didn't drop any names but it was a good bet he was referring to Oregon and Oregon State. These two schools, along with Washing ton State, were orphaned when the old Pacific Coast conference was disbanded in 1958 due to disagreements over the code under which the conference operated. The Cougars will be eligible for the 1963 Rose Bowl game even though they meet only two conference opponents, Washington and Stanford, In the coming season.
