Donut Season
Is Successful
Organizations Have Shown
Interest in Intramural
Sports Contests
By Cecil Snyder
Donut sports, under the supervi
sion of Delbert Oberteuffer of
the physical education department,
have created much interest among
the houses during the 1927-28 sea
son. Tournaments have been played
off in baseball, basketball, track,
swimming, water polo, wrestling,
boxing, handball, golf, squash and
tennis. On the whole it has been a
successful year, with much rivalry
shown among the organizations for
championship honors, and with close
contests, indicating the popularity
of donut competition.
The finals in baseball still remain
to be payed. The winners of the
four leagues, Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi
Epsilon, Delta Tau Delta, and Psi
Kappa arc all still in the race for
the championship. Each of these
houses has a good aggregation and
the tilts should be among the best
of the season.
Fijis Take Two Wins
Phi Gamma Delta gathered in two
championships in the tank in the
moil’s gymnasium. In the big splash
with Sigma Nu Thursday night for
the water polo honors the Pijis won,
4 to 8. This was the second tilt be
tween these two teams for the cham
pionship. The first match ended in
a tie after three overtime periods
and the second tilt was necessary to
decide which was the better of the
two.
The Fijis also won the donut
water wings in the swim meet dur
ing the winter term. Phi Delta
Theta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon tied
for second honors.
Beta Theta Pi has two champion
ships to its credit. Tho cinder
artists from the Beta household had
little trouble in walking off with
donut track meet early in the spring
term. “Bill” Hayward had charge
of the meet which was primarily for
pre-season competition.
The best two man play in tlic
golf tournament was also won by the
Betas, defeating Chi Psi in tho final
match. Tho best one man play of
the tournament is still going on and
the finals will be played sometime
next week.

During the fall term basketball
proved the most popular of the do
nut sports. Twenty clubs were en
tered in the tournament, which were
divided into four leagues. The win
ners of these leagues wore Kappa
Sigma, Sphinx, Beta Theta Pi, and
Sigma Nu. In the final the Sphinx
aggregation won the championship,
having won every game during the
season. Kappa Sigma finished sec
ond with only one defeat.
In donut water polo during the
fall term, Phi Sigma Kappa came out
the champions, winning every game
of the six played. Kappa Sigma
held second honors.
During the winter term donut
handball and wrestling along with
free-lance boxing, hand ball, and
squash furnished the main attrac
tions. The Independents won the
wrestling championship with Sigma
Phi Epsilon coming in for second
honors. Alpha Beta Chi walked off
with first in the handball doubles,
leaving Phi Gamma Delta second.
Free Lance Takes Some
In the free lance tournaments the
following were the winners: Hand
ball doubles — Bliss and Gawer;
handball singles—Heustis; squash—
Abercrombie; boxing—Gainer, 175;
Wright, 165; Knox, 145; Moore, 130;
Espiritu, 120; tennis singles—Lock
wood.
Phi Delta Theta captured the do
nut doubles championship in tennis,
defeating Phi Kappa Psi in the final
match. This is the second year that
the Phi Dells have held this sport.
Competition has been keen
throughout the season, and no or
ganization has walked off with the
majority of the contests. Two
championships is the greatest num
ber won by any house, which shows
that all the organizations are inter
ested in donut sports and that the
1927-28 season has been a successful
one.
Today’s Showing Will
Decide Track Entries
Webfoot entries in the Pacific j
Coast conference meet at Missoula,
which is scheduled for June 1 and 2,
will depend largely on the outcome
of the Oregon-Oregou Aggie meet to
day, according to Bill Hayward,
trainer, who will aceomjpauy the
team to Montana.
Oregon has not won a Coast con
ference meet since 1924, when the
Webfoots captured enough places to
walk off with high honors. The
meet that year was held here on
Hayward field.

Varsity
(Continued from page one)
this season for first assignments.
Cecil, who has an ideal build for
a catcher, crowded the veteran Ira
at the first of the season but the
latter came back and toojc the call
again. They are both hard to keep
out of the lineup.
Nelson and Johnson to Return
Les Johnson and Carl Nhlson will
return for first base duties. Les,
who last year was in the batting
average “cellar,” became a right
handed sticker this season and now
leads the squad in hitting honors.
Carl is also a good hitter.
Next year Nelson may be seen at
first and Les at second, or Less may
take first and Carl may try the
outer gardens. If both these boys
continue to hit as they have, they
are almost sure to find a place on
the first nine.
Gordon Ridings and Dave Mason
may either one be seen on tho key
stone sack next year. Gord has had
an unlucky season. Although he has
been hitting the ball and hitting it
hard, it always seems to fall in some
fielder’s hands to wreck his batting
average.
Ridings Is Jinxed
A couple of times hits from tho
Ridings bludgeon that looked like
sure homers, have been snagged by
some racing outfielder for outs. On
second base Ridings has had only a
medioero season. Dave Mason has
been used at second and in center
field by Reinhart and his perform
ance in both places has been consis
tent. Dave is a good hitter, batting
second in the lineup.
Kenneth (Rabbit) Robie, short
patcher, appears to have his domain
unchallenged. He is one of the
cleverest players on tho team. He
bats leadoff and his batting aver
age is second only to Les Johnson’s
on tho entire squad.
Many times Rabbit lias snagged
apparent singles to make putouts.
lie is fast and flashy and has that
knack which is so characteristic in
a good ball player of even making
errors look good. Rabbit Robic
should burn up the league next year.
If there is a better shortstop in
the conference he's yet to be un
covered.
Bon a Steady Player
Don McCormick will bo on tap
for the hot corner again. Don had
a flock of competition for third
early in the season but he managed
to come out on top. Don is a good
hitter and fielder. lie is not as
smooth an infielder as RoGie, but
lie gets the same results, so laugh
that off. Every minute Don is in
the game he is working and playing
heads up ball. Ho docs his sleeping
off the diamond.
In the outfield Dave (Goliath)
Epps, Ray Edwards, and Cotter
Gould will be back for their third
season under Reinhart in 19-9. All
these fellows are well known for
the dynamite they pack in their bats,
Epps’ performance in the first
Washington game at Seattle, when
he put the division title in the laps
cf his teammates with three home
runs is still a good story for bull
fist sessions.
Dave Explains
Ask Dave how it happened and he
will deny knowledge -of the affair,
Insist on a statement and lie will
tell you, “the first time, that was
an accident; the second time, well,
that was a coincidence; and the
third time, oh my, that was a mir
acle.” Dave is too modest. Wc
imagine we could tell you a bcttei
reason, and that reason is just—
Dave Epps.
Ray Edwards is another murder
ous boy with the bat. He has prob
ably more circuit clouts than Dave
but they are not so bunched. Ray
hits from the portsidc and is a sure
fielder of anything he can reach,
He lacks a good throwing arm but
this does not keep him off the first
lineup.
Cotter Has the Stuff
Cotter Gould, also a left-hand
hitter, is probably the fastest man
of the three outfielders whom Rein
hart will have at his call next sea
son. Cotter has had a couple ot
tough breaks this ^season in play
ing outfield, duo to the ball taking
bad hops on the rough ground, 01
the blinding sun getting in his line
of vision when lie was attempting
a hard catch,’ but he lias more than
made up for these slips by his timely
hitting when hits counted for runs,

and rattles the scales at an even
225 pounds. He is fast on the
charge, and if he is able to get
his hands on the runner, any further
progress for the ball-toter is im
possible. George Christenson is
another 225 pounder, though ho is
not quite so tall as “Tiny.” George
had a very successful season last
fall, and is a cinch to earn his letter
this season.
Weems and Woods Holdovers
A pair of tackles from the ’28
varsity will form the mainstays at
this post. They are Tom Weems
and Harry Wood, both of whom
earned their letters in the face of
competition from two-stripe men in
that position. Though Weems was
frequently injured last season, he
will undoubtedly be in better shape
after the summer.
As guards the varsity have three
and the freshmen two likely can
didates. Merrill Hagen, two-year
letterman at the post, is probably
the leading varsity candidate,
though liob Keeney and Everett Mc
Cutehan both won the large “O”
as guards in the recent season,
from the yearling aggregation comes
Jerome Lillie and Ted Park. Lillie
weighs 190 pounds and Park tilts
the beam at. 180. This pair of
guards were star performers with
the yearlings, and have shown much
promise in spring workouts.
Foremost as a candidate for cen
ter is George “Bun” Stjadelman.
A sophomore with the varsity last
year, Bun was easily conceded to
be the outstanding player in the
Oregon line and was unanimous
choice for the pivot position on the
all-coast second, team, being out
ranked only by McQucrry of Stan

ford. His faultless handling of the
ball coupled with his extreme ag
gressiveness o nthe defense mark
him as a sure star of the ’28 var
sity. He is over six feet in height
and stops the needle at the 20G
pound mark. George Chapel is the
only member of last year’s green
capped team who aspires to this
notch in the lineup. George weighs
about 200 pounds and will prove
valuable as reserve man for the cen
ter post.
The weakest part of the 1928
Oregon varsity will be at the wing
positions. Ted Pope, two-year let
ternian, is at present the only person
who looms ns a possible candidate
for end. Pope can be relied upon
for one side, but the other terrain
ation of the forward wall, and the
reserves for the post, are as yet de
'tidodly uncertain.
