Heavy Stickers
Next week may see the first of
a series of practice tilts between1
ihe Webfoot diamond nine and the
Eugene city club is the wordgiven
cut by Bill Reinhart, baseball men
tor. There a*e a number of qual£
fieations attached to this statement,
however, and chief among them is"'
the weather. The Eugene team,
which is a member of the Willam
ette Valley League, is under the
management of Coach Reinhart, and
like the varsity, has been handi
capped in practice by the prevail
ing rains.
> Asked for a weather forecast the
Coach spoke in guarded tones, that
conditions had begun to look fa
vorable for a sunny Easter, but fur
ther than that ho would say noth
ing. Jack Bliss, battery coach, was
also very noncommittal. Climatic
conditions appear to be a taboo sub
ject with the coaching staff..
Until the varsity tossers get out
of doors to stay, and hit their re
gular practice stride, it is difficult
to predict how the squad will line
up. The indications are that what
ever combination finally wins eut
it will be a strong one. Reinhart has
not only got a good supply of
chucking material at his beck, he
has also a promising stock from
which to build the other departments
of his team.
Regulars are Crowded
With a letterman for every posi
tion, reserves from the supervarsity,
and a group of sophomores of known
playing ability from last year’s
freshmen nine on hand, indications
point to a well balanced and form
t ldable baseball squad.
Behind the windpad Ira Woodie,
one year veteran, is finding some
lively competition for his berth
from three sophomore catchers, Don
Speer, Cecil Gabriel, and Maurice
Backer. What their comparative
abilities are it is difficult to deter-’
mine. Woodie’s handicap as a cat
cher is lack of weight. Packer, also,
is fairly light for the job. Gabriel
and Speer are both heavy, Gabriel
short and stocky, while Speer is
considerably taller.
Iek Reynolds, a senior, former
Oregon football letterman and win
ner of an “O” on the Lemon-Yel
low. hoop team this winter, is also
out for the catching assignment. He
is former catcher for Whitman col
lege.
Johnson Good Fielder
Around first sack Les Johnson
is showing up well and is going to
be a hard man to displace. Although
not a heavy sticker, Johnson is con
sidered an equal to almost any first
sacker in the conference. In his
freshman year he played second, but
Reinhart took him over last year
1 and made a first baseman out of
him.
He has a good pegging arm , and
is an excellent fielder. Carl Nelson,
from last years frosli nine, is crowd
ing Johnson closely for a chance
at the sack. Roy Stein and Howard
Eberliart are also working hard for
a call on first. Ick Reynolds, has
doned the first base glove a few
times and may become a contender
there.
Gordon Ridings on second is an
other fellow who will be difficult
to jar loose from his place. Rid
ings, though a big, fellow handles
himself well for his size. He covers
lots of territory and will accept
any kind of a fielders chance he
can reach. He is also one of the
heaviest hitters on the squad. Bill
Hanely, sophomore, is a wiry fast
moving hoy, who is understudying
Ridings at the keystone sack. Han
ley has a reputation of being fairly
proficient with the bat.
McCormick, Mason, Compete
Short stop and third are two in
field positions which show promise
of causing some snappy competition.
Bill Eddy, letterman, and Kenneth
Robie, sophomore, are staging a hot
fight for the lead at short. Robie
seems to be holding his rwn with
Eddy at present. He is a little fel
low, but does not let his size in
lerfer with playing flashy ball. Ed
dy is also an excellent fielder and
a good hitter when he is going
right, but is sometimes' subject to
an erratic' streak.
"The performers in the neck and
neck race at third are Don McCor
mick, letterman, and Dave Mason,
sophomore. McCormick alternated
ai third and short last year. He is
a heavy hitter, leading the team
in batting for a part of last year’s
season. Dave Mason, is also a good
batter and fielder. Both these men
are valuable. McCormick may be
shifted to the outfield in case Rein
hart uses Mason on the hot corn
er.
Outfield Has Hitters
In the outfield Reinhart has a
veritable “murderers row” in Dave
Epps, Ray Edwards, and Cotter
Gould. These three boys are all
capable of giving the great Ameri
can apple a long one-way ticket.
Epps led the squad in batting last
year. He hits from the right side
of the plate. Edwards and Gould
hit left handed, although Gould
throws from the right side. .
Wally Giles and Harvey Benson
are two other strong contenders j
who are striving for duties in the
outer gardens. Giles was the best \
bet from the outfielders of last
year’s freshman nine and Benson;
is one of the supervarsity. I
Bill Baker and Reynold MacDon-1
aid may take turns in the outfield
when not pitching and when the
opposition is using southpaw ehuck
ers who might cause trouble to Ed
wards and Gould.
Deans Will Help
Probation Students
Constructive efforts to assist the
53 University of Oregon students
placed on probation at the end,of
the winter term to “right them
selves” scholastically are being
made by 'the deans of men and wo- i
men. An investigation to deter- I
mine the trouble and possible reme
dy in each individual case is be- !
ing made.
Thirty-seven men and 16 women
are on probation. Each of them
is to be taken into conference, and
assisted in re-arranging courses and
schedules, or making other changes
which may be conducive to better
scholastic work. Half of the “pro
bationers” are freshmeln, and in
many such cases overloaded or poor
ly arranged schedules are found to
be the trouble.
Students placed on probation
must refrain from any student ac
tivities until they have regained
their scholastic standing, according
to Elmer Shirrell, dean of men.
Frosli Baseball
Shows Promise
Spike’s Babes Yielding to
Instruction
Among other signs of spring are
some thirty freshmen baseball
players cavorting about tho turf
west of Hayward field. The casual
onlookers might think they had
escaped from the inshne-asylum. In
reality they have only been released
froth the confines of the stone igloo,
■ To lend some order to the con
fusion, Spike Leslie, who has charge
of the neophyte horsehide tossers,
instructed them in the proper way
to bat. One by one the hopefuls
stepped ito the plate and looked
toward the pitcher. “Two swings
and youfre done,” said “Spike”
As a matter of fact, the frosli
were hitting the ball lustily. Al
though no potential Babe Ruths
were discovered, Coach Leslie hopes
in time to build up a fair aggre
gation from the candidates turn
ing put.
This year’s frosh baseball team
will have to go some to beat the
record of last year’s. The yearlings
won all four of frosli-rook tilts.
Four pitchers worked on the
mound last night, tossing to the
batters. They were Barbar, Chap
pel, Bloom, and Basc.lie. They were
not allowed to use curves or speed,
hence no judgement of their skill
is possible.
