The genial di rector of intramural athletics is “griped,” to say the least, at the lackadaisical attitude of the male tongs about turning in the blanks which will enable them to partici pate in the tourneys. To Alpha Upsilon and Kappa Sigma goes the honor of being the first and only houses so far to make known their intention of aspiring for the sun dry donut titles. The entry blanks must be in by today so that the schedules may be drawn up. The intramural ten nis and golf battles are to get un der way next Monday, April 11, with the soft ball event slated to commence on April 18. The date set for the relay team track meet seemingly is an unknown quantity. Latest reports credit Francis Oglesby, varsity merman, with be ing the sole entrant for the all campus horseshoe crown. Nary another entry has placed his cog nomen on the entrance blank for the barnyard golf struggle. * * * Things look bad for any of the dubs who have signed up to play in the all-campus tennis singles tourney. A galaxy of star netmen are after the scepter, with the re sult that the raqueteers who can not display a fairly good game will be out of the running. Per haps a division of the event into sections in which players of simi lar calibre would vie would be a more satisfactory arrangement, but since this is not to be, the less gifted racket wielders will have to make the best of the matter and console themselves with gaining valuable tournament experience and practice. * * * The ping pong tables in the men’s gym have become so popular that it is difficult now to capture one long enough tc* play for any decent length of time. One of the stellar attractions is the fact that the gym furnishes both paddles and balls for the smashers of the cel luloid spheroid. Lewis Throws Kaplan After Torrid Mat Battle PORTLAND, Ore., April 7— (AP)—After 32 minutes, 20 sec onds, of wrestling, during which Abe Kaplan tossed Ed Strangler Lewis about the ring and held him helpless on two occasions with short arm scissors, Lewis sudden ly reversed the proceedings, clamped on a Boston crab, and Kaplan had to be carried from the ring. Kaplan was unable to re turn, thus adding another unsatis factory ending to their third en gagement here. Both wrestlers re sorted to rough tactics. Lewis weighed 235 pounds, Kap lan 220.

Calif., April 7— (AP)—While two separate in quiries into the death of Phar Lap were begun today, a San Francisco taxidermist prepared to preserve the great Australian thoroughbred in a mounting that will be shipped back across the Pacific to the land “down under.” One examination was being con ducted by F. N. Chisholm, local director of the U. S. department of agriculture, to determine whether the valuable animal was poisoned by grass sprayed with lead arsen ate. “After learning that many of the trees on the Ed Perry ranch, where the horse died last Tuesday, were covered with lead arsenate spray, I can say it is possible he was accidentally poisoned,” Chis holm said. “Some of the spray might have landed on the grass or weeds which the horse was eating. A steady diet of such poisoned grass would certainly cause death.” The department of agriculture representative also is making an analysis of Australian grain brought here for Phar Lap’s feed ing. Analysis of the stomach con tents of the horse was being made by Dr. Karl F. Meyer of the Hooper medical foundation of the University of California. Dr. Meyer said he had “very little to work with’’ and expressed belief his analysis would take five or six weeks. David J. Davis, owner of the horse, had previously accepted the findings of two veterinarians that colic induced by eating green feed or dampened barley had caused death. He said he was permit ting the present investigations “to save himself from worrying the rest of his life.’’ “I cannot con ceive of anyone fiendish enough to poison the horse,” he said, “but Phar Lap had many visitors, one of whom easily could have put poison in his nose bag.” Plans Being Made For Seabeck Meet Plans for the Northwest Stu dent conference to be held at Sea beck, Washington, June 18 to 28, are now being drawn up by the Y.

Columbia University Editor Stays Expelled NEW YORK, April 7—(API — Despite Columbia university’s strike riot, Reed Harris, militant student-editor, stayed expelled to day. One question seemed to be set tled, though, as Alma Mater, giant, gilt statue on the library steps, gazed serenely over a litter of tat tered placards, broken glass and shattered vegetables. That was: 1. —The strikers made better speeches. 2. —The athletes aimed better with addled eggs. The one-day strike, called to protest Harris’ expulsion after he had criticized dining hall food and finances, developed into a day long series of fights. That was be cause athletes, attacked as profes sionals by the editor, objected to the strike. BIG BOY WINS LONDON, April 7 — (AP) — Primo Camera, Italian heavy weight, outpointed Dan McCorkin dale of South Africa in a 10 round bout at Albert hall tonight. Camera gained a wide lead in the early rounds, floored McCor kindale twice but the South Afri can finished strong and seemed to have the better of the going in the final round. Camera floored McCorkindale twice for short counts in the sec ond. McCorkindale opened a cut over the Italian’s eye in the fifth round. MAPLE LEAFS WIN BOSTON, April 7—(AP)—The Toronto Maple Leafs tonight strengthened their claim on the Stanley cup, emblematic of the world’s professional hockey cham pionship, by blinding the New York Rangers with speed to gain a 6-4 victory on the neutral Bos ton garden ice. O’Brien Gives Freshman An Opening Drill First Frosh Workout Is Snappy Material Looks Good for Duckling Baseball Aggregation Frosh baseball practice got un der way yesterday afternoon when some 30 yearlings answered the call of Coach Jack O'Brien on the practice field back of Hayward field. Working out for the first time in a week and for the initial time under O'Brien, the new appointed frosh mentor, the Ducklings went to w,rk in earnest and fairly knocked the horsehide off every ball offered them until dusk. A two-lap jog around the playing field topped off the workout. Batting Strong A number of good hitters took their turn at bat yesterday, and it looks as if the outfield would be well fortified. Among those who looked best at the plate were Wes ley Clausen, midget slugger from Jefferson high in Portland, and Fred Fowler, another former prep star from the Rose City. Several infielders gave stellar performances in the first trials. Of these Ernest Garbarino at third and Ivan Elliot at shortstop show the most promise. A host of other first-year men looked good snar ing ground ball and line drives. Pitchers Scarce Battery men are scarce, how ever. Of the more than a dozen pitchers which signed up at the start of the term, only three made their appearance last night, and very few men were present to work behind the bat. Hartley Kneeland and Dick Prouty, both left-hand ers, look to be the best of the moundsmen who have stated their intention of turning out. This leaves a good opening for a hurler who throws with the right arm and can hit the center of the plate at least one out of four times. Coach O’Brien stated that work outs will be held for the remainder of the season promptly at 3:15 ev ery afternoon. Due to the short training period left he announced that drills would begin in earnest at once. No definite schedule has as yet been made out for the year ling nine, but competitive play should begin within the next two weeks.
