Freshman Track
Squad to Meet
Rooks Tomorrow
Competition on Hayward
Field to Wind up
Successful Season
The freshman track squad wound
up one of the most successful sea
sons that a Frosh track squad has
hid for several years when they met
the O. A. C. rooks yesterday after
noon on Hayward field.
The Frosh squad met with plenty
of hard luck due to scholastic fail
ures. Two star sprinters and a quar
ter milcr were unable to compete.
Many good men were developed out
of the large squad that turned out,
and they will fill up the gaps on
the varsity next year. Creed Chesh
ire and Alex Scott were the main
stays in the 100 and the 220 yard
dashes. They have improved greatly
and should have a good season next
year. Joe Standard, Runar Rasmus
and Jaek Jones have been doing
good work in the quarter mile. Joe
should be running the quarter
around 50 seconds next year.
In the half mile Ernest McKit
riek was a real star. Harold Little
has been running the mile in great
style as has his teammate Ed Jen
sen. Little has run the mile in
4.33.
The hurdlers were slow getting
started but they finally found
themselves and showed up well in
the dual meet with the University
of Washington Frosh. Loyo McGee,
Bob Foster and Bill Crawford show
ed more improvement than any on
the squad. Bill Crawford and Ralph
McCulloch were the star high jump
ers. Both have been doing consist
ently around 5 foot 9 inches all
season.
Mark Sanderson, George Stager
and Bob Byington improved greatly
in the shot and discus. This was
especially true of Sanderson in the
shot and Stager in the discus. San
derson threw the 16 pound shot
around the 40 foot mark and Stager
dropped the discus out around the
130 foot mark. These two will sure
be valuable assets to the varsity
squad next year. Bob Byington has
improved greatly and should bo up
amongst them next season.
The javelin throw was ably handl
ed by George Burnell and Bob
Foster. Burnell’s best throw was
168 feet but -at throwing he should
bo a world beater next year. The
real “dark horse” of the squad
was Joe Brown who did the pole
vaulting. Coaches Bill Hayward and
Earl Lcslio worried along for half
of the season looking for a fresh
man pole vaulter, but Joe came
along and soon settled their worries.
All that Brown lacks is experience
which ho will get next year. In the
broad jump Arthur Ord and Loyc
McGee jumped consistently around
21 feet 10 inches. Both havo im
proved wonderfully.
Tho Frosh had their initial moot
against Jefferson and Franklin of
Portland and Corvallis high. The
Babes showed their superiority win
ning by 40 points. The relay carni
val against tho Aggie rooks was lost
by the score of 4-1 The Frosh could
not stand the gaff but the carnival
was closer than tho score indicates.
The Babes lost a heart breaking
meet to tho University of Washing
ton freshman by 3% points. Oregon
took ten first places but did not
have second and third place men
to win the meet.
Ex-Army Star

in the international competition. In
1924 ho acted as coach and trainei
of the American decatlinlon per
formers. Ho is an all-around athlete,
according to Captain McKwan,
whose coaching staff he worked foi
three years.
In 1921 he returned to West
Point as instructor in the physical
education department and was track
coach as well as backfield coach.
“Vidal is one of the few really
good backfield coaches in the coun
try,” said Captain McEwan. “He is
not only an expert instructor but an
expert demonstrator. He knows how
to coach backfield men from his con
siderable experience as backfield
coach at the military academy for
three years.”
Vidal was conducting business
matters in Florida when the position
as backfield coach at Oregon was
offered him by the athletic commit
tee on the recommendation of Cap
tain McEwan and he readily accept
ed. His interest in football com
pelled him to get back in the game.
Baseball
(Continued from page one)
hard struggle. In the first contest,
Bill Ashby pitched some of the best
ball of the season for the varsity,
but poor support lost the game
for him, 4 to 3, Ashby had the
Huskies in hand most of the time,
allowing them only three scatter
ed hits during the nine- cantos. A
number of boots in the first iftning
gave the Huskies a two-run lead
which the Webfooters could not
overcome.
In the second, Bill Baker got off
to a poor start. For the first five
innings he failed to display his
usual control of the ball. Coupled
with superb pitching of Elmer
Tesreau and the erratic chucking
of Baker, the Oregon varsity tast
ed defeat for the second time, 5
to 1.
As a fitting part of the Junior
Week-end the Oregon varsity nine
came through with the right spirit
and defeated the Oregon Aggies 7
to 3. Bill Ashby, pitching for the
varsity, had things practically his
own way for the entire nine innings.
Winter started on the mound for
tlio Aggies but his offerings were
knocked everywhere by Reinhart’s
sluggers. He retired in favor of
Lefty Strikmadcr.
In the fastest game played on the
local diamond this Beason, it took
the University of Washington Husk
ies exactly one hour and fifty min
utes to hand the Oregon nine an .8
to 2 beating.
In this encounter the Huskies
got next to Ashby for nine hits
which they made count for the
eight runs. Big Elmer Tesreau for
the winners had an easy time of it.
“Plunks” Reinhart, varsity center
fielder, carried off the batting hon
ors for the Webfooters with three
saft hits in four trips to the plate.
Tlio Oregon' varsity came back
the-next day determined to defeat
the Huskies and they did it, 10 to
9. Lefty Jones, pitching for the
visitors, wobbled along until the
eighth inning with an apparent 6
to 4 victory but received a great
surprise in the eighth when tho
lemon-yellow batsmen began touch
ing him for safe hits that resulted
in 6 runs before the onslaught could
be stopped. Bill Baker on the mound
for the varsity pitched good ball.
On Saturday, May 22, the Oregon
varsity turned tables on the St.
Johns Bears in tho second game be
tween tho two teams on Reinhart
field and gave them a 16 to 0 drub
bing.
To start the season off, Coach
Billy Roinhart had nine diamond
lettormon back in school: Bliss,
Adolph, Hobson, Jones, West, Rein
hart, Mimnaugh, Williams and Har
rison. With tho nine lottermen and
several recruits from last year’s
freshman team Reinhart has turned
out a team that the University may
well bo proud of.
rrospecis xor next year are wiui
out doubt the brightest since base
ball was inaugurated at Oregon.
Coach Reinhart loses two star men,
Hobson and Bliss. “Hobby” Hobson
rounds out his three years this sea
“So-Long!”
(ROUNDS like a flippant farewell—but we mean it. We
wish you the best of good times during the summer,
and look forward to your return next fall.
We feel sure that our contact with you has been a

wish is that we may still keep you on our customer list

son and is one of the most talented
ball players on the team. His posi
tions have alternated from second
to third. Hobson’s batting average
is another item in his favor. Jack
Bliss, the man so familiar behind
the windpad, will be sadly missed.
For three years Bliss had dominated
in this position. Not only is he a
good catcher and hitter, but his
knowledge of baseball has been of
assistance to Rdinhart. He has the
knack of developing young pitchers.
Cavorting around first base next
year Bex Adolph will again be
found. He has one more year on
the varsity. This year Adolph’s
batting average has increased and
he is one of Reinhart’s most de
pendable batsmen.
The later part of this season big
Lynn Jones was transferred from
the field to third base, where he
will probably be found next year.
The big problem of finding a short
stop has been apparently solved.
Arnie Kiminki who has held down
this job most of the season has prov
en his ability. He has two more
IP
years.
Many to Eetnra
In the outfield George Mimnaugh
and Frank Eeinhart will be back
for one year more of competition.
In right field this season, Bay Ed
wards from last year’s freshman
nine has played a quite consistent
game.
The pitching job was easily rem
edied by the varsity mentor this
year. Bill Ashby, star right hander
from the 1924 yearling team, re
turned to school and took care of
his job in good shape. The rest of
the pitching rests upon the young
shoulders of Bill Baker, late of last
year’s frosh team. Baker, another
right-hander, pitched good consist
ent ball all season. Both mounds
men have two years more playing
ahead of them.
Perhaps being a little too much
hopped up or too optimistic—but
it would be safe to predict that
Coach Billy Beinhart’s Oregon var
sity nine would capture the north
west title next spring.
