Expected to fall are the marks in the high hurdles, javelin, mile, 100-yard dash and the high jump, if this past spring's performances by Oregon's prep athletes are any kind of a hint to come. .Drace,- who has turned in his best times of 15 seconds flat in the highs and 20.2 in the lows this year while leaping an even .six feet in the high jump, has his work cut out for him this weekend.

Sports orilirs are thumbing through baseball record books to discover when last the haughty New Yorkers were in such humble circumstances at this stage of a pennant race. Fans give varied opinions as to! the causes of the strange situation. The ideas range from the opinion that the club has had it. to the hopeful among its followers sug gestion that it is just a temporary slump that got out of hand. The last time the Yankees were in the basement at an equivalent stage of the race was May 25. 1040. The last of the two times the club finished in Ihe cellar was in 1912. and the last time it spent the season in the second division was in 1925.
