a Oregon Track Stars Will Leave Tonight for Northwest Conference Meet at Seattle Hayward To Pick 19 Men To Make Trip Comparison Shows Field Event Firsts Split Among Six Teams Oregon Favored To Take Pole-Vault, Shot; Huskies Weak (Editor's Note: This is the second of two stories giving the comparative times and strength of teams entered in the North west conference meet at Seattle Friday and Saturday.) By BBUCE HAMBY The names of six more track men were added to the list of Web foots leaving tonight for the Northwest d i v i s i o n conference meet at Seattle by Coach Bill Hay ward yesterday, making a total of 19 Oregon representatives. Virgil Scheiber, Paul Bale, Len Steele, Jack Zane and Bob Hall are the final men to be selected I for the trip. The group will leave I at 6:30 p. m. for Seattle. Prelim inaries will be held Friday and the finals on Saturday. Accompanying the team will be Hayward; Fred Reid, student man ager, and Bob Officer, trainer. As a reward for long and faithful service on Hayward field, Abe Campbell, caretaker of the grounds, will be taken along with the team after the members had all chipped in to help defray expenses. Field Events Discussed Yesterday the track events, up to the two-mile run, were dis cussed and the comparative times of the best from each of the six schools entered were given. To day's article will deal with the re maining track and field events. Oregon has a chance to place in both the low and high hurdles, if comparison of times made this season mean anything. In the lows Art Holman’s mark of :24.4 last Saturday against the Beavers is only .2 of a second slower than the best time of Brodie of Wash ington. Brodie and Hubert Allen have both turned in times of :15 flat in the highs. Mitchell of W. S. C., however, has the best time for the lows this year with :24.1. Oregon State has several high hur dlers who are likely to upset the dope in this event. Although the crack Husky mile relay team has turned in by far the fastest time in the Northwest, Hayward refused to concede them that event. Their time of 3:17 is four seconds better than Washing ton State's mark of 3:21. Ore gon's team of Dolloff, Holman, Rollwage and Marrs did the mile in 3:22 last Saturday. Oregon Favored in Discus Oregon should be a cinch to take first in two of the field events— the pole-vault and discus. Bob Robinson is by far the leading vaulter of the Northwest. Boone and Matilla of W. S. C. will prob ably give him most of his compe tition. Interest in the discus lies in the fight for second place between Buse of Washington, Hein of W. S. C., and Williams of Idaho. Jack Zane, a newcomer to Webfoot ranks, has done' over 140 feet in practice and may spring a surprise if he comes through. Moeller seems a certainty for first place. The Huskies are certain of first and perhaps second places in the high jump. McNeil and Dunn are the Washington threats, while their chief opponent should be Nel son of Montana. Allen Broad-Jump Favorite Whiting of Washington defeated Allen of Oregon in the broad jump at Seattle, but Allen has improved so much in the last two weeks that Hayward thinks he may come in ahead of the Husky ace. Ruth of Montana, Beaty of Oregon State and Lainhart of W. S. C. are other possible point winners. Hein of Washington State, Davis of Oregon State and Lockwood of Montana have all done better than 190 feet in the javelin. This is both Oregon’s and Washington’s weak event. Oregon State's only apparent chance for a first place is in the shot-put. Bergerson is the best bet among the shot-putters, but will have to be in top form to de feat Ramsted of Washington. Jen sen of Idaho may also figure in the final tabulations.

PHILOGRAMS - - SPOT DOPE ON PORT NEWS By Phil Cogswell Webfoots Sock ’Em • This Webfoot baseball team is the hardest hitting one, Oregon's had in many a year. Statistics tell. Look over the batting averages. Eight regulars, headed by LeRoy Shaneman, husky catcher, and Johnny Londahl, keystone man, ire batting over the coveted .300 mark. A team is generally lucky if it has four or five such hitters. But the most interesting thing is that the season average for the vhole team is .317. That’s about 50 points higher than an average ranking for a ball team to have. * * # Sharp Hitters— Oregon hasn’t any men of the regular slugging type, the kind hat knock ’em a mile or strike out. rhe fellows this year are much more dangerous at the plate for ;hey are continuously getting those MATINEE NIGHTS 20c 30c Children a Dime Anytime ^ LAST TIMES TODAY J Friday and Saturday JACK OAKIE in “DUDE RANCH" sharp singles, and occasional dou oles. When these kind of blows ire raining out, home runs aren't tieeded. * * * May Beat Staters— Here are some more statistics. Oregon, in the 14 games played, aas scored an average of eight runs per contest, as against not juite seven for the opponents. This ioesn’t mean much. After all the mportant thing is the number of james won and lost. The Web foots have just broken even. They still have the final feud with the Staters to look forward to, and prospects are good for taking these two games. The pitchers lave been going fine, and there certainly is nothing wrong with the hitters. The Chicago Meet— Today the track men are leav ing for Seattle for the champion ship meet. Whether Oregon will send any men to the national meet :his year has not been,decided yet, md probably won't be until tonight vhen the finance committee meets. Last year Bob Robinson, Ed Moel er, and Ralph and ClarenceHill, vere sent to Chicago and they at :racted a lot of attention. Robin son tied for second place in the sole vault-while Moeller gave the liscus a heave that would have iroken the record had he not bare y stepped on the edge of the circle, rhe official disqualified him but said afterward tha| it could have leen allowed. Three Should Be Sent— It is certainly to be hoped that f it is at all possible, three or four Webfoots will be dispatched ;o represent us at Chicago this ime. Ralph Hill, who has been 'unning two races in every meet ;o win points for the team, should save that last chance to run the nile alone. He deserves the op sortunity to get the recognition vhich would come to him if he staged one of his great races in he East. Bob Robinson has the ibility to break the world's record n the pole vault, and it would nean much for Oregon if he was ;o set his mark at the Chicago neet. Moeller is quite apt to come hrough in the discus, too. Yes, ;hese men must be gotten to Chi sago somehow. Hawaiian Swimming Teachers To Be Here Mr. and Mrs. F. A. McDonald, ‘Xpert swimmers from Waikiki Beach, are to locate in Eugene igain this summer as instructors n swimming and fancy diving. At aresent they are at the Anchorage "aceway. With them is their small daugh ter, Lottie Bell, who held the world’s baby swimming champion ship by her performance of using ill strokes correctly and diving from a ten-foot platform at the ige of two years eight months. The McDonalds spend each win ter in Hawaii giving instruction in iwimming at the famous Waikiki Beach. Duck Seniors Will End Play With Beavers Bloom, Arnett, and Barnes To Close College Careers Webfoots Will Meet O.S.C. In Wind-up Gaines Of Season Three seniors will be playing their last baseball games for Ore gon this week-end when the Web foots meet the Oregon State nine Friday and Saturday. Both teams are pointing for the wind-up of the season. Dave Bloom will pitch his last game under the Lemon Yellow against his old rivals, the Beavers. The past two years Bloom has been a leading Webfoot hurler. Kramer Barnes, fast outfielder whose specialty this season has been making spectacular catches, is completing his third year. Barnes is hitting well over the .300 clip this season and Oregon will find it hard to replace him in the outfield next spring. Arnett Finishing The other regular who is finish ing for sure is Vern Arnett, the southpaw flinger who filled in so well in the outer garden. This is Arnett’s first year of varsity base ball, but Vern will graduate at the end of the term. Cliff Potter, who has been holding down third, is a senior but may be back again next year as he has another year of competition ahead. The Oregon State team will have A1 Brown, their stellar slug ging pitcher, and Lefty Woodward on hand to treat' the Webfoots to some fancy hurling. Ralph Cole man’s gang took two from the Ducks early in the season, but Bill Reinhart has polished his team since then and the Webfoots will have their best warpaint on. The man that Oregon is gunning for is A1 Brown and he will be lucky to get off with his scalp I when the array of Webfoot slug- : gers line up at the plate.

O. Pis in the kitten ball con test last evening to the tune of 27-10. Dorothy MacLean was the outstanding player, playing on the mound for the winning team. She also made two home runs, both in the same inning. The first inning was scoreless, the second proved more profitable with the A. O. Pis bringing in one run, and the Katydids brought in three. After that it was easy go ing with the losers trailing more all the time. SENIORS PERSONAL CARDS 100—$2.00 Raised Letters VALLEY PRINTING CO. 76 W.
