Sunshine Is Real Boon to Ball-Tossers Pitchers Have Initial Work-Out Reinhart Twirls to Boys With Varying Luck; Mimnaugh Homes By BOB RIDDLE Real baseball weather for the past few days has allowed Bill Reinhart and his varsity ball crew an opportunity to discover just what type of material is on hand. Pitching candidates, who have been gradually warming up, are now taking regular turns on the mound, and the position, doubtful at first, begins to look as though it might be adequately filled. If the number of applicants for the job means anything Bill should have few worries. Yesterday’s drill was well rounded, including fly-catching, hitting, infield practice, and pitch ing. Four pitchers toiled on the mound. McKelligan, a sophomore hurler, started the parade, and lasted for a short while when Wat- 1 kins was called upon, faring little better against first squad slug gers. Bryant, a right-hander with a world of stuff, showed the best form. He fanned five in a row and allowed only pop-ups to the remaining men. Reinhart took a try at chucking himself for a short while, and his old “floater” was baffling the boys with great success until Mike Mikulak swung wildly at an out side pitch and hit the fence in far left field. This rather rattled poor Bill and after four straight hits he was forced to go the way of all flesh. He was heard to say as he walked off the field that this must be his off day. Several long hits featured Mon day's practice. Brian Mimnaugh, outfielder, collected the longest of' the day when he cleared the right field fence by three feet. Potter, Shaneman, Stevens, and Horner all connected with several clean hits. The positions on the first team were filled by McCall, first base; Londahl, second base; Stevens, short-stop; Mikulak, third base; Potter, left field; Palmer, center field; and Chatterton, right field. Chester, veteran first-sacker, is alternating with McCall afield to keep in condition while his injured foot heals. R. T. Oliver Has Article Published in Journal Robert T. Oliver, graduate as sistant in the speech division, has been placing articles on speech in various magazines, and on March 20 in the magazine section of the Oregon Journal his “In the Hobo Jungles" appeared. In the quarterly Journal of Speech Education Oliver placed an article on “Training for Conversa tional Speaking,” and “Growth of Interest in Conversation; a Bib liography." The same magazine has asked Oliver to prepare an ar ticle on “Christ as a Public Speak er.” In the American Speech maga zine, Oliver’s article on “Junglese," ihe jargon of the hobo, appeared. ENDS TODAY rroDAY P ELISSA LANDI I “Devil’s Lottery” 1 CHESfER MORRIS I “Corsair” The Texas "Rah! Rah! Boys”; Prospects Good at Oregon -—- By DICK NELBERGER -, MAJOR league baseball today. The Washington Senators and the ' Boston Red Sox staged the prologue before the President and Mrs. Hoover yesterday, but the big pennant jamboree doesn’t start officially until this afternoon when all teams in both the National and American leagues go into ac John Londahl tion. Among those seeking regular positions for the first time will be our old friend from Oregon State college, Long Ed Coleman, trying to displace Bing Miller in the out field of the Philadelphia Athletics. That’s a large-sized assignment for any young man, but thus far Ed has done remarkably well. He already has shown to Papa Mack's satisfac tion that his bat is far lustier than Bing’s ever was, and his fielding: Mike Mikulak has been lively enougn to prove to everyone that the veteran Miller doesn’t shade him very much in that department. There will not be so many college boys trying out for positions this year, largely because of the economy program that has forced every club to reduce its playing squad materially. Strangely enough, the lad regarded as the outstanding college prospect in almost a de cade is still doing business in the University of Texas infield. He is Capt. Ray Ater of that club, whose big bat has functioned so effective ly against major league pitching that already more than half the man agers in the big leagues are trying to attach strings to him. Against the Chicago White Sox the other day, with Ted Lyons himself on the mound, Ater bombed out two home runs and a brace of singles. His work against other major league pitchers has been equally as sensational. Jack O’Brien, assistant football coach and head freshmen baseball coach here, tells me the University of Texas is the center of college baseball in the United States. The Long horns always have a team of almost AA caliber, says Jack. Speaking of college baseball teams, Oregon isn't going to have such a bad outfit itself this spring. Given any break in the pitching, the Webfoots will go a long way toward the northern division cham pionship. A veteran infield is on hand-with Duke Shanneman, Captain Johnny Londahl, Cliff Potter, Kermit Stevens and Leland Chester all back. Brian Mimnaugh and Omar (Slug) Palmer are back to patrol the outer gardens. In addition to these lads there are three or four outstanding new comers in Mike Mikulak, Chip Chatterton, Mickey Vail, Coop Cuppo letti and Bud Pozzo. As soon as he can show Bill Reinhart that his footwork is as nimble as his bat is lusty, Mikulak probably will com mand a regular position. Oregon will hit hard this year. That much is apparent. Shanne man, Londahl, Stevens, Mimnaugh and Mikulak all should clout above the .500 mark. There are no major league scouts up this way, but there may be a Capt. Ray Ater among that bunch. You never can tell. Incidentally, the fence-busting Ray plays shortstop. The metropolitan sports-writers called the Texas team the “Itah! Rah! Boys" the first trip out. But after seeing them play once, they changed their attitude from one of derision to admiration. The college lads actually made the major leaguers look rather foolish in several exhibition contests. * * * Colonel Bill Hayward has been confined to his home with a bad cold the last four or five days. He just got out of bed yesterday, but was so weak from his illness that he was in his office at McArthur court only a short time. The court doesn’t seem the same when Colonel Bill isn’t around. # * # Mike Mikulak says all persons who want enlarged copies of the pictures’taken at tfie farewell banquet for Doc Spears can order them from him at the Pi Kappa Alpha house. They are 50 cents each. The members of the coaching staff who were there—Prink Callison, Jack O’Brien, Bill Reinhart, Johnny Kitzmiller, and Coionei Hayward—al ready have signified their intentions of getting copies. * * * Spring football is moving along nicely. The hot weather has speeded the boys up rather than slowed them down. If the weather and the size of the turnouts permit, Prink Callison hopes to play the first practice game by Friday afternoon. See where Ben Eastman cracked another record last week—the 880-yard run this time. They can’t hold down that boy. Wonder if an 11th hour telephone call from Dink Templeton spurred on Ben as it did when he shattered the 440 mark? The University of Southern California is doing its customary com plaining over football prospects. You can’t take the Trojans seri ously, however. They did the same thing last year, which certainly ought to indicate they might be hollering “Wolf!” this time. Senate Will Probe Board’s Aetivities WASHINGTON, April 11— (APi —The story of how the farm board spent and loaned most of the $500, 100,000 given it by congress was promised today by the senate as it CO ION I Al DIME NITE % PHANTOM of PARIS" 4' i >1. -a 4M •ft1 voted for a complete investigation of the board’s activities. . Along with that, however, it agreed to go thoroughly into the operations of the cotton and grain exchanges whose members gener ally have been opponents and crit ics of the board. The inquiries were provided in a resolution, by Senator Norris (R., | Neb.), which went through with out a record vote. No time was . set for the inquiry to begin. The resolution asked that the' investigation, which will probably be made by an agriculture sub committee headed by Norris, to determine whether stabilization operations could not have been performed better by cooperatives , than the stabilization organizations set up by the board. Colonel Pillow To Visit Military Department Colonel Jerome G. Pillow, R, O. T. C. officer from the 9th corps : area headquarters at San Francis : co, will be in Eugene to make the annual administrative inspection of ! the local unit on April 20, accord ing to Major F. A.

Ac cording to the announcement, the tourney will be played off first among the students of the law school, and the final team will be selected in this elimina tion process. Regulations governing the tourney call for the law profes sors to don the knickers and answer the call of the tecs and greens. Red <ieer is chairman of the law school tournament and Preston W. Gunther is athletic manager tor the school. DONUT CHATS *>y JOSEPH SASLAVSKY I__ Some of the participants in the donut tennis tournament now in progress prance merrily on to the courts without racket and balls in hand. They seemingly have the idea that the men’s gym is altru istic enough to furnish these im plements of tennis warfare. Jack Hewitt, who is in direct charge of the net matches, warns the netmen to show up with these necessities and to show up punctually, before the scheduled time if possible. Last call today for entrants to sign up for the various all-campus tourney is the edict of Earl Bou shey, supervisor of intramural ath letics. He indicates that the bat tles in these rivalries are sched uled to get off to a flying start tomorrow. Tennis singles, tennis doubles, golf, and horseshoes are the menu for the athletically in clined who hope to win one of the sundry titles. # * * Another order issued from the men's gym concerns the intramural golf tournament. Although the foes have a leeway of a complete day in which to play off their struggles, Boushey states that these matches must be played on the day in question and not later. Results are to be phoned in to the office of the gym.

The forty-odd candidates opened the third week of the spring prac tice yesterday afternoon. Callison spent most of the afternoon work ing with the players in individual groups, winding up with scrim mage.

Major Leaguers To Open Today; Reds Get Hafey AH 16 Teams Will See Aeliou in East; Ed Coleman May Play By ALAN GOULD NEW YORK, April 11—(AP) — A series of eleventh hour develop ments today, all calculated to have a distinct bearing on the pen nant races from the outset, marked the preparations of the major league baseball clubs for the gen eral opening ceremonies, scheduled tomorrow in eight cities under dubious weather conditions. While a cold wave blew into the Middlewest and a rainstorm swept the East, the world championship Cardinals handed the dope sheets another jolt by trading the Na tional league batting king, Chick Hafey, to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for Pitcher Bennie Frey, and Harvey Hendrick, an all around handy man. One of the Cardinals’ chief rivals, the Chicago Cubs, must start the season without Elwood English, star short stop, out with a broken finger, while another con tender, Brooklyn, tries the veteran George Kelly on first base to fill the gap caused by the disablement of Del Bisonnette. The New York Yankees since coming back to the big town, have shaken up their lineup for the opening skirmish of their pennant battle with the athletics at Phila delphia. Sammy Byrd, due to his spring sensational hitting, was picked to replace the veteran Earle Combs in center. The infield was due to start with Lyn Lary at shortstop, the position he played last year, and his spring place at third taken over by the spec tacular recruit, Frank Crosetti. Two recruits, Dib Williams and Ed Coleman from Portland, likely will play for the A’s. Senators Win !n 10th WASHINGTON, April 11—(AP) Henry Manush's double, scoring Buddy Myer in the 10th inning, gave the Washington Senators a l-to-0 decision over the Boston Red Sox in the Season’s opener today, played before a crowd of 15,000 including President and Mrs. Hoover.

Trackmen Work Despite Absence of Coach; Starr at Head By MALCOLM BAUER Colonel William L. Hayward waa up and around Sunday for the first time since ne was confined to hia Paul Starr bed more than a week ago because of a severe cold. The veteran track coach and trainer was also out again yester day to take ad vantage of the sunshine which has been favoring western Oregon for the past few About a week ago Colonel Bill let a cold get the best of him, and has been forced to remain in his bed instead of personally supervis ing his track and field athletes in their daily workouts. Last night, however, after his first day of marked activity, he was feeling much better; and from all indica tions Bill will be back in his ac customed role as head track coach at Hayward field in a day or so. Starr Takes Charge In the absence of their coach and trainer, the Webfoot track and field athletes have been working just as hard as ever. Led by Paul Starr, sprint man, and captain of the squad, the athletes have been taking their workouts regularly. StArr, a junior in business adminis tration, who earned his first letter last spring, has been setting his charges through their paces every day so as not to lose time in prepa ration for the first meet, less than two weeks away.
