The first baseball practice Mon day afternoon at McArthur court, says Bill Reinhart, head coach. All candidates must be there. Looking Back WSC 9, OAC 7. A Great Game. -By DICK NEUBERGER JJISTORIC old Rogers field at Pullman, Wash., was the scene j of a great football game early in \ October of 1928. The contesting teams were Wshington State college and I? Oregon State col lege, the latter then being known as the “Oregon Aggies,” a name ^it since attempt ea to live down C!>.ef Thompson with indifferent success. Betting on the game was practically at a standstill. All the northwest’s football money that af ternoon was concentrated upon Portland, where Washington and Oregon met again in the renewal of their traditional gridiron feud. None of the players who took part in the game at Pullman is still in college, although the coach es, Babe Hollingbery of W. S. C., and Paul Schissler of O. A. C., are the present incumbents of those posts. Washington State had a team composed largely of sopho mores, men who became celebrat ed stars three years later when they brought the Pullman school its first Pacific Coast conference football championship. On the oth er hand, Oregon Agricultural was a veteran team, led by the great Howard Maple, who later that sea son achieved national recognition as the hero of a stunning 25-to-13 victory over New York university. -lust after the kick-off, Porter I.ainhart, a young' sophomore from Goldendale, Wash., whom the Cougars were relying upon at left halfback, was stricken with an attack of appendicitis. On the spur of the moment Coach Hollingbery decided to use Don MacDonald, a slender junior, in Lainhai t’s place. It was a move he never regretted. O. A. C. took the initiative at the start and worked the ball deep into Washington state ter ritory before the first quarter was ended. Only MacDonald’s long punts kept the Aggies away from the goal line. But finally the roly-poly Maple’s slashing runs had their desired effect, and in the second period the O. A. C. quarterback scored a touchdown. The Aggie lead was increased to seven when Coquille (Chief) Thompson, Indian guard, con verted. This left the Cougars seven points in arrears, and so it stood when the gun barked at half time. Then came the third quarter and with it a plunging, hammering powerhouse in MacDonald. The slim halfback tore the Aggies to shreds with his desperate line rushes. Through the entire period he maintained his piercing drives and the early part of the last quar ter saw him advance the ball to the one-yard line. From there Lloyd Hein plunged into scoring territory. The conversion failed, however, and defeat once more stared the Cougars in the face. Then MacDonald started again.

C.G ^’Indicates years of competition left Oregon’s basketball regulars yesterday agreed that John Fuller of the University of Washington j was their foremost opponent this season. In naming an all-opponent five, the Webfoots cast a unani ■ mous ballot for Fuller, the Huskies’ I principal threat on their belated drive to the championship. . Although regarding Fuller as the ■ outstanding player, the Oregon . men voted for him as a forward j and not a center, the post he played in the majority of Wash ington’s games. For the pivot po : sition the Webfoots selected Hunt j ley Gordon of Washington State, j leading scorer of the northern di I vision. Claud Holsten, also of W. | S. C., was voted for as Fuller’s i running mate. At the guard posts, the Oregon players selected Ken Fagans of Oregon State and Art McLarney of Washington State. This com bination includes three Cougars, one Husky and one Orangeman. Fagans was a narrow choice over Ned Nelson and Ralph Cairney, both of Washington, While Hol sten also was pressed for his berth. ; Gordon was a far and away choice, j Fuller, of course, led the pack. In i cidentally, the Washington center i whom the Webfoots respect so ! much will return next year. Those who received honorable j mention in the voting were Ralph j Cairney, Hal Lee and Ned Nelson, | all of Washington, D. E. Lacey of j Idaho and Bobby Cross of Wash j ington State. I He leaped into the open field and j got to the Aggies’ 30-yard line before he. was caught. Three min utes were left to play and the Cougars still trailed, 7 to 6. Mac | Donald had taken a terrific beat I ing from the big O. A. C. linemen and his zipper was gone. His first 1 two attempts failed to produce any i material amount of yardage. Hol lingbery jumped up from his place on the bench and rushed to where ! Lainhart was stretched on the 1 bench. j He grabbed the stricken soph omore and rushed down the field ' with him to the vicinity of the play. MacDonald saw them com ing and knew what to. He skirt ed end to the middle of the field, where he was downed. This piaeed the hall directly in front of the goal posts, ?A yards from touchdown turf. Then Lainhart hobbled in and replaced Mac Donald. The mud-smeared Don trotted off the field amidst an outburst of applause that reverb erated in the surrounding foot hills like claps of thunder. The crowd was suddenly silent as Lainhart stepped back to place-kick. Hein waited nervous — HEILIG bits the rest of the world ANY right to crush t beau tiful lose ?

Anti-War Magazine Takes Armament Chart by Mez A chart by Dr. John R. Mez, associate professor of economics and political science, showing armament expenditures last year of 40 leading nations of the world, has been published in the March issue of the Bulletin of the Na tional Council for the Prevention of War, it was learned here yes terday. The bulletin is published in Washington, D. C., and is edited by Frederick J. Libby, secretary of the council, who visited the campus last year. W. A. A. SPONSORS HIKE W. A. A. is sponsoring a hike up to Spencer’s Butte on Sunday. All girls who wish to go should be in front of the Women’s building at 8:30 a. m. Please be prompt. ly for the ball, crouched on one knee. Behind him stood the tall sophomore, his tense figure out lined against the golden back ground of the setting sun. The ball shot back, Hein snapped it down, Lainhart kicked—quickly and surely—and the oval sailed in a long parabola through the goal posts. A minute later the gun roared and Washington State had won, 9 to 7. That game is still an epic at Pullman. The old grads and stu dents who saw it never will forget Lainhart’s last-minute efforts nor MacDonald’s desperate rushes in the final half. No championship hinged on the outcome of the bat tle, but it was one of those en counters that makes football the great sport it is. On the same day Oregon out classed Washington, 28 to 0, be fore 27,000 persons at Portland. It was a lop-sided encounter, exactly the opposite of the tense combat at Pullman. It marked the end of Washington's long dominance over northwest football and saw Chuck Carroll, later a unanimous choice for All-American halfback, stopped in his tracks by the Webfoots. Johnny Kitzmiller first leaped into the headlines that day. The Flying Dutchman scored two touchdowns. Bob Robinson and George Burnell got the other Oregon scores. * * * The Oregon victory started Washington on the downhill trail, and a week later the Husk ies were routed by the Oregon Aggies, 29 to 0. California next won, 7 to 0, over the last rem nant of Washington’s old guard. Then began what eventually turned into a great comeback. Stanford was held to a narrow victory, two touchdowns were scored on L'. S. C. and, in a last blaze of glory, Carroll and the late Enoch Bagshau conquered Washington State, <j to 0, con cluding the season w ith W'ash uigton’s only major victory. Gordon Finishes Second Year at Top of Scorers Fuller and Roberts Give W.S.C. Center Rare For Honors Huntley Gordon, lanky scoring j ace and center for Washington ; State college, again finished at the top of the northern division scorers this season.

Closely following Gordon in number of points scored was John Fuller, Washington center. Fuller led the conference in field goals scored, holding a margin of two over Gordon. The Washington State star pulled out ahead by vir tue of his gift throw conversions, having dropped in 11 more than Fuller. Roberts Takes Third Cap Roberts, Oregon’s high point man, finished in third place, 10 points behind Fuller. Cap led the scoring for the first two weeks of the season, but was unable to go at top speed in the last two games of the season due to illness.

Reinhart Bemoans Absence Of Experienced Moundsmen Webfeet To Stake Baseball Hopes oil Swatters, Veteran Fielders By BRUCE HAMBY A veteran infield and outfield and prospects of a good hitting club are the only rays of hope Coach Bill Reinhart sees in Ore gon’s chances in the coming con ference baseball season. The Web foot coach announced yesterday that he had every confidence in the ability of his men to hit, but was worried about an apparently weak pitching staff. Ken Scales, regular hurler last year, Ike Donin, member of last year's freshman pitching staff and Ossie Edwards, a transfer from El lensburg Normal school, are the only likely looking moundsmen who v. ill be out when Reinhart calls out the battery men next Monday. Workouts will be held in side McArthur court until the weather permits practice sessions on the regular diamond. Outside of the pitching box, how ever, Reinhart has few worries. Except for the third base post the complete last year’s infield will be back. Leland Chester and Cliff Potter alternated at first base last year. Harry McCall, star of last year's freshman team, will also be on hand. Captain Johnny Londahl is prac tically without competition at sec ond base. Kermit Stevens, two year veteran, and Mickey Vail are the foremost shortstop candidates. Two newcomers will fight it out at third base. They are Robert (Gip) Chatterton and Mike Mikulak. Brian Mimnaugh and Slug Pal mer are the only returning out fielders. Two football players, Bree Cuppoletti and Bud Pozzo are also candidates for one of the gar den controls. Duke Shaneman and Chappie King are both back to alternate behind the bat. Shaneman is the harder hitter but King is known as the steadier player. Reinhart has little to worry about as far as power behind the bat is concerned. Scales, the pitcher, hit above the .300 mark last season. Several others aver age above .300. Oregon will play a 16-gamo schedule similar to that followed in basketball. The opening game will be with Oregon State on April 29 at Corvallis. Three Railway Cars Needed To Accomodate Symphony Three standard railroad cars will be required to transport the 70 musicians and the costly array of instruments of the Portland Sym phony orchestra to Eugene for its concert, to be given at McArthur court Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. The feature will be spon sored by the Associated Students’ concert series and will be free to students upon presentation of their student body cards. The Eugene appearance of the symphony will be its only concert away from home during this sea son and will mark the fourth time that the organization h&s appeared in Eugene on the concert series. This feature has always been the most popular musical event of the season and the largest audience of the year is expected to hear the concert. The concert to be given in Eu gene will be of regular length and will be especially chosen to appeal to university students, according to word received from Willem van Hoogstraten, internationally known conductor of the organization. Works of four of the most popular composers, Beethoven, Debussy, Borodin, and Tschaikowsky, will be featured on the program. The rise of the symphohy since van Hoogstraten took over the con ductorship some seven years ago, has been almost phenomenal, with Tennis ...

Track Managers To Hold Confab At Igloo Today Entry lists for the intramural track and field meet to be held Saturday have not as yet been filled. Owing to the inadequacy of the lists of entries to date, another meeting of track repre sentatives from each house on the campus will be held this afternoon at 4:30 in McArthur court. It is imperative that those men who attend the meeting be out for track themselves so that they have some knowledge of the logical en tries. It has been the fault of the representatives in previous ses sions that they know nothing about the athletes of their own particular houses, and have there fore caused the posting of errone ous entry lists. Bill Hayward, coach, states that it is important that a man from every house be present at the meeting as all entries must be filed by tonight, due to the fact that first heats in a number of the events will be run off tomor row.
