Dual Affair With Ancient
Rivals To Be held in

Comparative Pre-Season
Times Indicate Teams
Equally Strong
Oregon’s 1931 track and field
team, under the guidance of Coach
Bill Hayward, will embark upon
.its quest for Northwest division
r conference honors next Saturday,
when, they meet the Washington
Huskies, in their annual dual
meet, at Seattle.
The Huskies appear to have a
little edge when it comes to actual
competition for they have partici
pated in three dual meets thus far
—California, Stanford, and Oregon
State. The Webfoots’ only outside
opponents were the Beavers in the
dual relays two weeks ago.
In the meet with Oregon State
last Friday, the Huskies showed
their strength by taking nine first
places and tying one out of 15
to pile up 831-3 to the Beavers’
47 2-3. The Huskies’ mile relay
team stepped off four laps in
t 3:20.7 to set a new Northwest rec
ord.
Huskies Look Powerful
While no other exceptional times
were made by Hec Edmundson’s
runners, they loom as a powerful,
well-balanced squad, and Hay
ward’s men will undoubtedly have
to show some speed to score an
other victory over them, such as
they did last year.
Events in which the Huskies
look strongest are the 100-yard
dash, with Bledsoe and Hufford i
both able to do it in around 10
flat, not to mention Pendleton,
star sprinter, who is laid up with
an injured leg; the 440-yard run,
which was won by Captain Hart
ley in 49.8 against the Beavers;
half-mile, with Ed Genung, na
tional champion, stepping it off in
fast time again this season.
Bale, Starr To Run 220
In the 220-yard dash Paul Bale
and Paul Starr should be able to
provide Bledsoe and Hufford with
some stiff competition. Both Web
' foot stars have run it in 22 flat,
which is better than the 22.4 made
against Oregon State by Bledsoe.
Ralph Hill will run againsl
Rhuddy, sensational Washingtor
distance man, in the mile. Rhuddy
has made several fast marks this
season, but none, of course, ap
proaching Hill’s best. Bobby Rob
inson should have no trouble at
all in the pole-vault for the best
Edmundson's vaulters can do is
around 12 feet. Robinson, the
Northwest record holder, is capa
ble of clearing the bar at 13 feet
and thereabouts.
A complete analysis of the two
teams and opponents in each event
will be published later in the week.

Second Inning Assault Off
|
Steve Fletcher Puts
Game on Ice
Winners To Compete With
Beta on Cushion Ball
And Baseball
| An eight-run splurge in the sec
' ond inning off Steve Fletcher al
lowed the A. T. O. nine to coast
through to an 8-5 victory over the
scrappy Phi Delt outfit. Os Ed
wards of A. T. O. had his blinding
fast ball working, but its effective
use was somewhat nullified by his
failure to control it.
Phi Delt opened the scoring in
the first inning. Red Rogers
bounced one through Benson and
advanced to third when Pahl over
threw second in an endeavor to
nab him stealing. Lawrence
walked and Steve Fletcher then
smashed a hot grounder at Benson
that the latter managed to hold
to a single, Rogers scoring on the
play.
Errors Aid A. X. O.
Errors aided materially in the
A.-T. O. avalanche the following
inning. Rogers muffed Pahl’s slam
to short and Stoddard hobbled one
from Proctor’s bat. Harper
grounded to Lewis at third, but
! the latter threw wild and too late
' to catch Pahl at the plate. Pope
i lined a single to center which
Houghton fumbled, Proctor scor
ing.
I Another fielder’s choice on Ed
j wards’ grounder went amiss and
Harper raced over the plate. Bill
| Whitely then laced out a single
| over short and Pope and Edwards
tallied. Sherrill walked and Ben
son whiffed, but the rally was far
from over. Houghton let Pahl's
easy fly to center drop safe and
! the hill nine chalked up another
! score. Proctor singled to center
| to drive in the last two runs. Har
' per forced Proctor at second and
I the slugfest was over.
Phi Delts Stage Comeback
Phi Delt made a vigorous come
j back in the third. Lewis, Rogers,
j and Lawrence walked, and Steve
Fletcher brought them home with
a long single to right that Leedy
booted into a triple. A slight Phi
Delt threat failed in the fourth
when Don Lewis strolled too far
off second. A double play, Rogers
to Stoddard to Ferd Fletcher,
wiped out an A. T. O. spurt in the
same period and Benson’s single
went for nought.
Edwards handed out free passes
to Lawrence and SteVe Fletcher
in the fifth but recovered to fan
three in a row. The final Phi Delt
tally in the seventh came as a re
sult of Edwards’ wildness and a
parade of pinch-hitters. Lawrence
clicked a single back of second and
Steve Fletcher walked. Edwards
boomed one of his fast balls into
pinch-hitter No. 1, A1 Edwards,
and the bases were crammed.
Pinch-hitter No. 2, Jerry Lillie,
struck out but No. 3, Ed Moeller,
walked to score Lawrence. De
Pittard flied out to Whitely and
the game was history.

SPOT DOPE ON n r\l *1 II
port news By Phil Cogswell
Given A way—
Along* with the few events of
Junior Week-end that came free,
or without special charge, were
the ball games which Oregon
gracefully, and wholeheartedly
, presented to the Huskies. Stories
i of the horsehide pastime as it was
in the good old days picture it as
a rough, tough game played by un
i couth and hardboiled men for the
I grim but satisfying pleasure of
beating the other team. What
wonderful changes the progress of
! civilization brings. Now the ball
j players are among our high class
' gentlemen. They are perfect hosts,
i Beat the visitors? Never! Such
social conduct is unspeakable. ■ *
* * *
| Anticipation—
Let us only remark in passing
I that when the Webfoots start out
on their road trip we hope they
, meet with the same Alphonse and
| Gaston reception. But it is to be
feared that we here at Oregon may
J be a little more advanced than the
other schools, and the Webfbots
may run across some opponents
who still think the object is to win
games not to lose them. What will
happen to the Webfoots then? It
j reminds us of a story about a man
: waiting for his execution. We’ve
forgotten just what the point of
the story was, but it had a melan
choly finish.
* * *
Will’s Chance—
George Will won the individual
! honors in the 72-hole medal tour- -
nament for the Northwest golf
1 championship last Friday and Sat
urday. George nosed out Vince
Dolp by two strokes and will fight
it out with the southerners for the
golfing crown of the Pacific coast
which Dolp has worn the last year
and which Don Moe possessed the
year before. If Will has success
against the California winners in
the tournament here this coming
week-end, he will be the third Ore
gon man to win the coast title in
succession.

Track Meets—
Among the other notable sport
events of last week were the Ore
gon State-Washington and the
Cougar-Idaho track meets. The
Huskies and Cougars each won de
cisively showing that the track
honors this year will be among the
three schools at last. Bill Hay
ward’s proteges completing the tri
angle. In the south, the Trojans
whipped the Stanford Cards 69 to
62 in a greatly heralded dual meet.
* * *
Tennis and Golf—
At least one of Oregon's tennis
men redeemed himself at Seattle.
Jack Rhine, so newspaper accounts
say, put up a great battle for the
northwest title. He lost out in
the finals, but the matches were
close. To cliange the subject back
to golf, here’s the first Oregon
man that we have ever heard of
for the hole-in-one club. Norman
Johnson made hole 13 at Laurel
wood yesterday in one stroke and
has witnesses, Keith Maguire and
Virgil Langtree, to testify to it.
There must not be anything un
luck about tha^number 13 for John
son.
Huskies Keep Up
Pennant Pursuit
With Duck Scalp
Ken Scales Has Hard Luck
As Team Sky-Rockets
In Final Inning
—
The Washington baseball nine
thundered on in their champion
ship march by copping two games
from Oregon last week. The dou
ble victory gives them a distinct
break over their closest competi
tors, the O. S. C. Beavers.
Although the Webfoots had Sat
urday’s game won at the end of
eight innings, the Huskies would
not admit defeat. With the score
5 to 1 against them, a sparkling
i rally pushed across eight markers
in the ninth.
The defeat was a heartbreaker
for Ken Scales, who pitched his
best game of the season. . Scales
seems to be ’the hard-luck man of
the Oregon pitching staff. In his
first start he fell a victim to Ore
gon State’s hefty sluggers. After
winning one from Idaho,- Scales
! was going strong against the Cou
gars when Buck Bailey came up
i with his powerful rabbit foot jinx.
Buck’s hoodoo developed a special
fondness for Scales, and it was all
up for the lanky Webfoot hurler.
Infield Blows Up
When Oregon went into the
ninth in the second fateful game
with the Huskies, Scales had a
four-run lead. Everybody consid
ered the game in the batbag—ev
erybody but Tub Graves and his
crew. Ken didn’t get the breaks
nor the support that he was en
titled to after eight innings of bril
liant mound work.
When two hits and a walk filled
the bags with nobody down, Ken
started to pitch again. Working
the count until he had a two-and
one advantage on a Husky pinch
■ hitter, Scales cut loose with a low
inside fast ball. The batter
thoughtfully touched the ball with
his hand, and when the umpire
presented him with a base, in went
the first Husky run of the inning.
Husky Series Start Friday
j That single questionable decis
ion of the umpire broke, the morale
of the team. After another hit
scored two more Washington run
ners, the team went up in the air
properly.
Ken is sure to win one some
j time and hopes that the time will
! be his next game, against these
same Washington Huskies at Seat
' tie this week-end.

him haven from the occasional
storms. The coast was also shel
tered by islands, and the warm wa
ters furnished him with plenty of
food. He found that the farther
south he went the more pleasant
became the climate. Thus, pressed
on by curiousity and a growing
population demanding food, the
American continued to follow the
shore line southwards.
"If he ever desired to go east
ward and inland, he was stopped
by the impenetrable mountain
ranges. No doubt he occasionally
did go inland for a ways, as at the
Fraser river, but he always even
tually came face to face with the
Rockies.
“Two thousand miles south he
went, until Alaska and his home
in Siberia was just a memory.
'Then one day he came to a great
pleasant valley, through which a
mighty river flowed. The river he
had discovered was later to be
called the Columbia river. The new
American found this river filled
with salmon, and he followed it in
land ever father and farther, its
great gorge cleaving the moun
tains like a knife.
The dark explorers had other
reasons to follow this valley. South
of the Columbia, along the Oregon
coast, the coastline no longer had
great indentations, but presented
bold, steep cliffs, against which
storms frequently dashed in fury.
Nor was their food supply on the
beach so lavish. And so they went
eastward to the great plateau of
eastern Oregon, and Washington,
upon which swarmed great flocks
of antelope, mule deer, and aquatic
fowls. Eventually, concluded Doc
tor Hodge, these hardy adventur
ers of prehistoric times were to
spread all over North and South
America.’'* . * •
Webfool Golfers
Win in Divisional
Tournament Play
George Will To Represent
Northwest Against
South’s Best
Oregon’s golf team concluded
very successful campaign on the
local course last Saturday. The net
result is that the Webfoots will be
host to a representative team from
the southern division and that
George Will will meet the south’s
best for the Pacific Coast confer
ence championship here next Fri
day and Saturday.
The Oregon team walked away
with the team championship by the
large margin of 49 points compet
ing w^th the team from the Uni
yerfity of Washington for the
Northwest division championship.
Other schools pf the division did
not send complete four-man teams
so were not eligible.
The individual play was more
representative of intercollegiate
golf competition. George Will
came from behind to overtake
Vince Dolp and whittle away his
i lead of three strokes gained on the
first day’s play. Vince had an 80
in his third round while Will’s 77
evened the score. On the outgoing
nine of the final round, Will gained
four strokes as Dolp found the go
ing not altogether to his liking.
Vince gained a stroke on the tenth,
lost it on the eleventh and then
birdied the short twelfth t6 gain
two strokes.
From this point to the 18th hole,
Vince did his best, playing good
golf only to watch his ball rim the
cup and roll away. Several chances
to gain strokes passed because the
ball refused to hit the back of the
cup and hole out. Meanwhile Will
was finding trouble. His shots
were straying from the middle of
the fairway but did not cost him
any strokes because of his excel
lent putting and recoveries.
Going to the 18th tee, Will still
had a two-stroke lead. Dolp’s drive
split the fairway ‘though Will’s
came to rest behind a large tree
on the right side of the middle.
George’s second, forced to the left
of the fairway, went about 20
yards into the orchard on the left
of the green. Here was a chance
for Dolp who was in fair position
for a birdie four. George then
called into play all of his skill and
chipped out for a five to win the
match. Dolp totaled 307 for the 72
holes to Will’s 305.
The team representing the south
ern division will be in Eugene
toward the end of the week. At a
late hour last night, it was not
known which squad would come
north.

College Drinking
On Decline, Says
State Committee
Michigan Men Find Liquor
Problem Receiving
Undue Notice
Lansing, Mich., May 11.—Drink
ing among college students is de
creasing and is not now a major
problem, a special committee re
ported here to the Michigan house
of representatives.
After Ann Arbor authorities
closed Michigan university frater
nity houses following raids in Feb
ruary, college liquor problems
have come to the front in the na
tion's news. At University of Ore
gon, where five students were ex
pelled, student drinking was publi
cized. Comments followed in lead
ing national magazines.
The committee, on studying the
question, said: “Drinking is not a
common practice among students.
Conditions are materially better
than they0were five years ago, and
there0 is less drinking on the cam
pus by the students than there was
before the adoption of prohibition.’’
