Oregon Snorts Notes By FRED HAMPSON Associated Prats Staff Writer If coming events cast their shadows on the cinders, this will be a large track season. The do ings in opening meets .through out the nation were of a hiRh or- dcr and inasmuch as April is not supposed to bring out the best in the boys. May and June may see records fall like wheat in a Kansas cyclone.

He hopped 6 feet, 7 inches in last Saturday's meet with Oregon State, which is aj mere skip for a' fellow who has done better than seven feet in doors. Another brilliant piece of April jumping was done on the same day by Stanford's Verne Hart. 6 feet. 51 inches.

The first evening was devoted largely to setting-up exercises. These will be continued for over a week before the first scriiu mage is staged. Many prospec tive gridmen are out for track and tennis, thus cutting down Hammer s available material. On a third front, a new ba.S' ketball schedule for the 1941-42 season was given out a result of a conference hero Tuesday of southern Oregon prep coaches. The assembled mentors also selected Henry Toti of Grants Pass as their new president. The cage card for next year follows: Ivr. If-Vrrka al Klamath.

April 24 (UP) A daily double payoff of $3.61060 at Bay Meadows Tuesday set a California record, but the record lastrj only until the third race Wednesday when Treasure Isle galloped home in front and, coupled with Yippee in the second race, paid off to the tune of $3,933 Mrs. Ruth Kakhourl of Red wood City, who uses the hat pin method of picking winners, and Loins Taucner of San Fran cisco, who just liked the sound ot "nine" and 'ten.' were tha only persons to catch the double today. Yippee, a three-yc.ir old maid en making her fourth start, paid $60.40 to win, while Treasure Isle, wearing new plates, nipped Calveras at the wue and paid $66.20.
