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.

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.

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. Coach
! Prink Callison announced the se
lection of the two captains yester
day.
Bowerman and Walsh will name
rosters of their teams this after
noon. The linertps will be chosen
with an eye to even strength, Cal
lison stated. 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.
The head of the "Marines,"
Walsh was kept on the sidelines
last year due to an injured knee.
He was originally slated for a full
back berth, but Coach Callison has
decided to try him at quarter. He
weighs around 195, is an excellent
punter and is one of the leading
sophomore prospects on the field.
Practice this week has consist
ed mainly of punt return practice
and line scrimmage. George Pep
clnjak and Bob Parke have shown
up as the leading kickers, along
with Walsh and Elmer Brown.
