O’Brien Drills 25 Freshman Swat Artists Contest Between IVo Teams Featured ‘A’ Squad Ekes Out Win Over ‘B’ in Lively 2-1 Struggle By BOB~GUILD Jack O’Brien, new freshman baseball mentor, believes in start ing the ball rolling early, so some 25 frosh baseball Jack O’Brien aspirants nave been working out daily for the past week, learning the rudiments of the national sport. After a few pre liminary drills on fundamentals, the candidates were divided into two teams, and a merry name results each day. During the last session the year lings were portioned into "A" and "B” teams, and the game finally ended 2 to 1 for the “A’s”. Bill Lake, winning pitcher, drove out the longest hit of the encounter, a triple to center field. He also showed plenty of pitching skill, al lowing only three scratch hits dur ing the five- inning scrimmage. Dick Prouty, chubby left-hander of the losers, also hurled a nice game, but erratic support proved the one run difference. Members of the “A” team in cluded Barry, catcher; Lake, pitch er; Lind, first base; Clausen, sec ond base; Elliot, shortstop; Fowler, third base; Green, left field; Con don, center field; Dilly, right field. Fowler and Clausen, ex-Portland prep all-stars, along with Lake, did the heavy hitting for the vic tors. Those showing good from on the second nine were: Fenwick, catch er; Prouty, pitcher; Kneeland, first base; Lucas, second base; Garbar ino, third base; Wade, center field. Wes Clausen scored the first run for the winners in the fourth inn ing when he drew a walk, stole sec ond, and scored on an infield error. McC u 11 y, substitute outfielder, rounded the bags during the next inning in~the same fashion. The drill ended with a short bunting practice. fiveTTn infirmary Eugene Laird was admitted tQ the infirmary Tuesday, bringing the number confined to five. Charles McCormack, Grenville Jones, Fred Staver, and Everett Harrell being the other patients.

Oh, Yea SCREENO TONIGHT Bring the Gang and Try In Beat It ... . Sweets for the Sweetie ! Doughboys vs. Marines! How’s That Satisfy You ? -By DICK NELBEIUiER THAT'S GOING to be quite a football game Friday afternoon be tween the two Oregon squads captained by Bill Bowetman and Joe Walsh. Football in the spring is nothing new in these days of long preliminary practices, but still it's something of a novelty to see an honest-to-goodness game in the month of April. It seems Bill Bowerman that Prink Callison and his staff have forgotten to bestow names upon the rival elevens. That being the case, the situation ought to be remedied at once. Suppose we call Bill Bowerman’s lads the Dough boys and christen Joe Walsh's co horts the Marines. There's a good old feud for you. The Doughboys vs. the Marines. Just as bitter as Yale vs. Harvard. The respective lineups haven’t yet been chosen. Bowerman hasn’t Jack Dempsey sciectecl his men and Walsh hasn’t announced his choices. However, there may be some recruiting going on out there that nobody knows about. Maybe the lads already have started to lobby for select players. There’ll probably be some trading activities take place before the deal's concluded. * * * Suppose, for instance, Bowerman thought he couldn’t get along without Gagnon, and Gagnon already had been snatched up by Walsh. Also suppose that Walsh didn’t believe his team had a chance without Pepeinjak, and that dashing young man was in the clutches of Bill Bowerman. There’d be the basis for a live-wire trading deal—Gagnon for Pepeinjak, with possibly a couple of milkshakes and a theatre pass thrown in to placate one or the other captain. Seriously speaking, however, the game ought to give quite a line on the possibilities of some of Oregon’s freshmen when they make their initial appearance in at least an assortment of “big-time” com pany. Prink Callison says the encounter will be staged according to regular rules and hopes to have a Pacific Coast conference official, Shy Huntington, there to act as referee. * * * George Godfrey says he will reward the winning team with a party at the Colonial theatre the night of the game. Every member of the victorious squad will get a ticket good for two, so he can take his girl, George announces. Not only that, but any player on either team who scores a touchdown, field goal, or point cohversion will be given logue seats. Incidentally, a highly interesting picture account of Jack Dcmp spy’s illustrious fight career comes to the Colonial today and tomor row. It is entitled “Dempsey Returns.” It deals with the high spots in Jack’s prizefighting episodes and shows even the famous “count 14” at Chicago. Sandwiched in are a few shots taken when Dempsey fought Jimmy Byrne in an exhibition bout at McArthur court last summer. * * * At last Mr. Howard Harding Jones himself has divulged who will be the University of Southern California’s regular football center this autumn. It isn’t going to be Curtis Youel, whom everyone thought was in line for the post; nor will it be Ernie Smith, 220-pound tackle who at one time was considered for the berth. The lad will be a new comer named Byron Gentry, whom no one hardly even heard of before, but who seems to be highly thought of by Jones. Have you stopped to think how many football teams are using the Notre Dame system Oregon plays this year? An overwhelming pro portion of the schedule is against elevens that follow the formations Knutc Rockne evolved at South Bend. Right off the reel there’s Santa Clara; then along comes Washington, followed by Gonzaga, Oregon State and St. Mary’s. * * * See where Frank Dolp is listed in a wire dispatch as a probable competitor in a national ping-pong tournament. What won’t they be doing next? Saw the Pacific Coast ping-pong meet in Portland last week and the amount of interest in it was surprising. There were about 25 tables in use at the Multnomah club simultaneously and sometimes the gallery numbered as many as 200 persons. The turn outs surprised even those who staged the event. Evidently the next step is intercollegiate ping-pong competition. Wonder how that would suit the lads? * * * The University ought to turn out en masse for the banquet for Prink Callison Friday night. It will officially herald Brink’s installa tion as head varsity coach, ushering in what everyone expects to be a highly successful football regime. Spring Sports Tourney Play Commences Today Play in the various spring all campus tournaments is to start today, according to Earl Boushey, supervisor of intramural athletics, who will post the drawings for each of the events in the men’s gym today. The entry lists were closed last night. The sundry tourneys include tennis singles, tennis doubles, golf, and horseshoes. HSEEEEJSJc MIDWAY Thursday Eugene, Ore.

Bowerman and Walsh Chosen Grid Leaders Quarterbacks To Head Rival Squads Marines and Doughboys Ready for Contest Friday at 4 By BRUCE HAMBY Bill Bowerman, veteran signal | barker of last year’s Oregon var | sity, and Joe Walsh, sophomore ; quarterback prospect, will captain l he two rival football teams which meet Friday afternoon in a spring session practice game.

Bowerman’s team will be called the "Doughboys” and Walsh's the "Marines.’’ Shy Hun tington, former Oregon coach, will referee the contest, which is sched uled to start at 4 o’clock. Bowerman started last season a3 j an end and earned a large share ' of glory when he intercepted a pass and ran 82 yards for a touchdown against the University of Wash ington last fall. Later in the sea son he was converted into a quar terback and attracted the notice of New York scribes with his quar terbacking against N. Y. U.
