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.
Oregon has its nominee for a
pedestal, the thick-muscled Lcs
Steers who floats through the

peated his highest jumps in corn
petition. 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 world record for the 100-
yard dash was equalled in Texas

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.
