    Spring Footbafl.
Mr. Franklin O.K.
Eckman Leaves.
■-By DICK NEUBERGER
Jj*OOTBALL seems to be the topic
of the hour right now, so here's
a little dope on the spring practice
game at Oregon
State college Sat
urday night. As
you probably
know already, the
Beaver var s i t y
whipp e d Buck
Hammer's all-!
stars, 15 to 0.!
The losing team
was composed of
men who have
Buck Hammer finished t h e i r J
three years of varsity competition !
and also of those Oregon State '
coaches who still are nimble
enough to do something besides sit
on a bench.
The all-stars held off the varsity
for the first quarter, but after that I
superior condition began to tell, i
Ted Hermann crashed over for one
touchdown in the second period and
shortly after the half Russell Ache- !
son, quarterback transfer from Pa
cific university, thumped a 35-yard i
field goal. The varsity produced j
another touchdown in the fourth
quarter.
Insofar as football games go, the '
encounter was nothing to brag
about. It was played on a loose
field in a drizzling rain and the all- j
stars hadn’t had enough practice
tj stand the gaff. As a matter of
fact, Buck Hammer’s lads didn't
even know their own signals. To
offset this difficulty the ingenious
Buck had a student manager on
the field carrying sort of a port
able filing cabinet. Whenever
Buck's lads went into a huddle
they would take the student mana
ger in with them, and he would
extract the play they wanted to
use, the different plays being cat
alogued under passes, bucks, etc.

The youth who looked best of
all was slippery Norm Franklin,
left halfback who returned two
kickoffs for touchdowns against
the Oregon freshmen last au
tumn. He was as hard to get
hold of as a chunk of ice. As
soon as Jack O’Brien had seen
him operate with the ball a
couple of times, he remarked
that Franklin would be a dan
gerous nfan this fall. Pangle, an
other young man from Califor
nia, also showed up well at the
right-half blocking position. He
probably will understudy Hal

OREGON SPORTS
FROSH TURNOUT TODAY
Jack O’Brien, new yearling base
ball coach, has issued a call for
ail candidates at McArthur court
this afternoon.
Vines Named
To Head Davis
Cup Choices
Shields, Van Ryu, Allison
Get Berths on Team
National Racquet Wielders
To Face Canadians in
First Match
NEW YORK, April 5 — (AP) —
H. Ellsworth Vines, Jr., the na
tional champion, Francis X.
Shields, John Van Ryn and Wilmer
Allison today were named by the
Davis Cup committee to carry the
United States standard against
Canada in the first round of inter
national tennis play.
The team originally selected by
the committee included George M.
Lott, Jr., of Chicago, runner-up to
,Vines in the national singles last
year, with Allison as alternate, but
Lott yesterday announced his re
tirement from Davis cup play
“for business reasons.”
All but Vines, the lanky Cali
fornia youngster, played for Amer
ica in Davis cup matches last year.
Van Ryn and Allison also were the
American doubles combination in
1929 and 1930. Allison played only
against Mexico iast year, Lott tak
ing his place as Van Ryn’s doubles
partner in the interzone final
against England. Allison and Van
Ryn are the present national
doubles and former Wimbledon
title holders.
The team includes three of the
first four ranking players in
singles — Vines, Shields and Van
Ryn—and the No. 1 doubles com
bination — Van Ryn and Allison.
Allison was ranked ninth in
singles.
Moe, the best blocker in the Pa
cific coast conference now that
Ernie Pinckert has graduated.
Prink Callison, Oregon’s new
head coach, was at the game to
watch the Aggies in action. So
were O’Brien, Johnny Kitzmiller
and Gene Shields, other members
of Prink’s staff. Although he no
longer has any particular inter
est in Oregon State’s football
productions, Doc Spears was in
the grandstand to watch the Or
angemen put on their show.
While he was there a number of
the men he has known at Ore
gon State came over and said
goodbye to him.
Jfc
Now that Prink Callison has
been named head coach officially,
everybody is ready to pitch ip and
help engineer a successful football
season. A meeting of all candi
dates was held at McArthur court
yesterday and tomorrow the first
regular spring practice under the
new regime will be held. Assisting
Callison will be O’Brien, Kitzmiller
and Shields. Irv Schulz also may
be added to the staff later.
George Richard (Dick) Eckman,
the jovial sports writer for the
Hearst newspapers, is no longer on
the Oregon campus. He left here
last night for San Francisco where
he will be engaged in newspaper
work there. Dick Eckman made a
host of friends while he was at Ore
gon. The lads here will mica him

able men at McArthur court

Fox Airs Vandal
Baseball Hopes
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos
cow, April 5—With a nucleus of
eight lettermen, several sopho
mores and promising newcomers,
Coach Rich Fox expects to put a
strong baseball team on the field
this spring.
Idaho’s chances received a bad
setback when two of the first
string pitching trio of last year’s
freshman team failed to make the
required scholastic average for eli
gibility. Neil Speirs, Talent, Ore.,
the other sophomore, is showing
up well and Fox expects him to
bolster the Idaho pitching staff
quite a bit. Ed Lacy, Buhl, and
Harold Jacobs, Moscow, are the
only hurlers with previous varsity
experience.
Occidental, Bruins To
Vie in Meet Saturday
LOS ANGELES, April 5.—(AP)
—Occidental college and the U. C.
L. A. Bruins will renew their an
nual track and field rivalry Satur
day at Westwood.
With first place points fairly well
distributed, second and third plac
es are doped to decide the meet.
The feature events of the day will
take place between Jim Meeks,
Occidental star, and Bernie Miller
in the high and low hurdles, and
between Ivan Belman and Bill
Lockett, Bruin captain, in the
dashes.
His vivid green basketball suit al
ways added a lot of color to the
practice sessions at McArthur
court, regardless of the fact that
he didn't always sink his shots.

You missed something if you
didn't see Colonel Bill Hayward in
his 28-stripe sweater yesterday.
The colonel had more stripes on
him than a top-sergeant. Bill says
he will save the sweater for state
occasions, such as football games,
track meets, etc. Incidentally, the
colonel will continue as head train
er under Callison. With almost
three decades of experience behind
him, the colonel will be a valuable
member of the staff.
* * *
Ha! Hah! Here’s news from
the spring training front at
Southern California... Ernie
Smith, 200-pound tackle, has
been shifted to Stan Williamson’s
old post at center, and Bob Er
skine, another tackle almost as
big as Ernie, will go to fullback,
where Jim Musick operated so
successfully for three years. At
. present the first-string Trojan
baUfietd looks like this: Orv
Mohler, quarter; Cal Clemmons
and Gene Clark, halts, and Er
skine, full. It will be a good
backficld, but not so strong as
were two all-Americans, Shaver
and Pinckert, included in the
quartet.
SOPHOMORES SPROUT
BEARDS FOR CONTEST
(Continued from Faye One)
because of its scattered appearance
or total abs-ence except under a
powerful microscope. For fear of
fostering inferiority complexes no
names will be mentioned in this
connection. The type is most usual
ly found in those lacking in gen
eral manly characteristics and
those who sing tenor, and is so
common on the campus that no
trouble will be encountered in
singling it out.
There are a few who are fla
grantly disregarding the decree,
either because of fears regarding
their ability to make a respectable
showing in such a manly venture,
or in hopes of passing as fresh
men. Mikulak, however, declares
that the efforts of the members of
his group to hide their inabilities
by various pretenses will be of no
avail: they shall be persecuted and
punishment of a watery form will
! be meted out in due course.
Doc Leaves Oregon Today
Dr. Clarence W. Spears, football coach, who leaves Eugene this
morning for the University of Wisconsin, where he will succeed Glen
Thistlewalte as head football coach. ..At the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity
house last night the players and coaches gave Doc a farewell banquet.
Oregon’s new coach, Prink Calllson; other staff members, and Doc’s
closest friends attended.
Phar Lap, Wonder Horse of
Australia, Dies at Tanforan
Beavers Amass 11-4 Lead
In Opening Innings;
Use Three Hurlers
MENLO PARK, Cal., April 5.—
(AP)-—With the suddenness of the
lightning from which he took his
name, the career of Phar Lap—in
Senegalese, “Wink of the Sky”—
ended here today when the wonder
horse of Australia died of colic.
The big red gelding, whose feat
of traveling nearly 10,000 miles to
win the $50,000 Agua Caliente
handicap without a preliminary
race captured the admiration of
lovers of horseflesh throughout
America, died about 2 o’clock this
afternoon.
Pending the arrival of his owner,
David J. Davis, en route by air
plane from Los Angeles, no ar
rangements had been made to an
alyze the contents of the animal’s
stomach.
It was said at the Perry stables
that cause of death was plain. The
illness developed under the watch
ful eye of Tommy Woodcock, faith
ful trainer who has scarcely been
out of arm’s reach of his charge
since the arrival of the famous
horse in San Francisco last Jan
uary 15. It is believed to have
come from a small amount of green
feed which was a part of the
horse’s customary diet.
Phar Lap’s easy triumph in the
biggest annual west coast racing
event brought his total winnings
to $332,750, well up in the list of
record winnings and a few thou
sand dollars more than the track
earning record of Twenty Grand,
slated as one of Phar Lap's chief
opponents at Arlington Park, Chi
cago.

(Continued from Tage One)
able for the Prom Saturday night
because of the huge banquet which
is to be held honoring Oregon's
mothers and the number of North
west pioneers who will be on the
campus for the unveiling of the
statue, “The Pioneer Mother.’’
“The remainder of the Canoe
Fete committee will be named by
me at the time of the drawings
Thursday.”
Short declared that he would
retain the portfolio of finance
manager for the event himself, and
would handle this task in addition
to the general work of managing
the entire Canoe Fete.
Short has long been prominent
in campus affairs, and acted as

GROUP OF ORIENTAL LIFE
(Continued from rage One)
and struggles of the present-day
Chinese woman.
Hoh is her real family name,
thanks yes, but back home at
Lingnan university in Canton she
is Hoh Pik Wan.
“I don’t mind,” she said with a
smile. “At Corvallis I am called
Pik Wan or Miss Pik or most
anything. I am now becoming
used to it.”
Pik Wan had to put up strong
argument to her father and grand
parents when she decided to be
come educated. Consent of all of
the relatives gained, half the
struggle for an education was
over. Now Miss Hoh is glad she
won, for she loves her work and
looks forward to the time when
she shall be able to go back to
China and “Lhink up new pans
from all the Chinese food avail
able.” That is her goal.

Hayward and Bill Reinhart for

young coach and I know you will
enjoy working under him. I also
appreciate the wonderful way in
which Bill Hayward and Bill Rein
hart worked with me in the two
years I was at Oregon.
“Johnny Kitzmiller also is a
wonderful boy and if he only in
stills into the backfield men that
admirable spirit and the will to
win that he showed on the foot
ball field himself, his work will
have been a success. I am going
to follow every game you boys
play in, and the morning after the
Oregon State game I’ll look for
what Oregon did as quickly as
anyone here. It has been a
pleasure to have worked with you
boys, and I wish you and Prink
all the luck in the world.’’

on an old time sand lot slugging

Los Angeles won 18 to 14, but the

The Angels had five pitchers in

Portland amassed a lead of 11

not the record, however. Portland
