Where Is Our Wandering Commissioner Tonight? -By DICK NEEBERGER AS THIS page went to press last night, Mr. Jonathan (Sherlock Holmes) Butler had not yet been seen in Eugene, nor were his probable whereabouts known by anyone on the campus. For your information, in case you have not been awed by the news already, Mr. Butler is athletic commissioner of the entire Pacific Coast con Prof. Howe ference, which is a pretty big job for even a man of Mr. Butler’s alleged ability. Furthermore, this same Butler is expected in Eugene momentarily. He may come at any time. As a matter of fact, he may be here even as you are perusing through this paper. Look behind you quick! He may be reading over your shoulder. Considering the fact that 99 out of 100 people interested in col lege athletics would not recognize George Burnell xtxl. uuuci il mcy met iixui xaue lu xatt, lie is a very laniuus yuuug man. I say “young" not because Mr. Butler is any youth, but because he is a veritable grammar school boy compared to his most celebrated athletic-czar contemporaries — Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner of organized baseball, and Major John L. Griffith, whose post in the “Big Ten" corresponds to the one Mr. Butler holds on the Pacific Coast. * * * In ease you are interested in seeing and meeting Mr. Butler, the best person to communicate with is Professor Herbert Crombie Howe, Oregon’s conference athletic representative. Probably upon his arrival in Eugene, Mr. Butler will get in touch with Professor Howe immedi ately. If Mr. Butler should get here by this afternoon, he’ll be able to take in the football game between the Doughboys and the Marines. Perhaps he’d like to referee. Wonder if Jonathan ever refereed a foot ball game ? These’s always a first time, you know. I remember very well the Pacific coast conference meeting- at which the office Mr. Butler now holds was created. What an occasion that was! The delegates tip-toed about the corridors of the Mult nomah hotel in Portland for three days before they would divulge anything. The graduate managers and faculty representatives met separately the last two days, and it certainly was a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing. When the meet ings finally were concluded, the graduate managers came forth with the complete football sched ule for the coming year, only to find they had been left at the post by the hustling faculty men, who at last had done what they had threatened to do for almost five years—appointed an athletic com missioner. Thus the cpming of Mr. Butler to the far west. it * * What was the quickest touch down ever scored on Hayward field? Someone asked that ques tion the other day. There’s no doubt about the answer. It was when Oregon played Stanford hero five years ago, the score being made by the Webfoots on the first play of the game. Oregon kicked off to Bob Sims, one of the Car THE TRADER HORHot l<M it HERE TAUZAN THE APE MAM T AK*A Jt Man-o' Love of the Jungle— His only law was to take what he w a n t e (1— You’ll be thrilled as never be fore !

Before he could retrieve his fum ble, Everett McCutcheon, an Ore gon guard, had scooped it up and the score was 6 to 0 for Oregon. How the old grandstand shook when that happened! You’d think the game had been won already from the great clamor the crowd set up. The din was increased a few minutes later when George (Speed) Burnell snatched a pass and made another Oregon touch down. This increased the Webfoot total to 13 and everybody began to ask what had happened to Stan ford. As a matter of fact, nothing had happened to Stanford—it merely hadn’t got started, hut it soon pro ceeded to do so. Behind the broad backs of Seraphim (Dynamite) Post and Don Bobesky, All-Ameri can guards, Biff Hoffman plowed for three touchdowns before the half was ended. Stanford tested scoring sod still again before the game ended to win 26 to. 13, but j the fact remains that Oregon ! scored one of the quickest touch j downs ever produced in the Coast I conference. * * # * All through that hectic first quarter, old Pop Warner sat on the Stanford bench and never blinked an eye. The ground around him j was littered with cigarette butts when the final gun at last sounded, but otherwise you’d never have thought the canny old coach of the Cardinals even was bothered by the liveliness with which Ore gon started against his men. Yeomen Will Meet on Monday To Plan Dance The Oregon Yeomen will hold a business meeting Monday, April IS, in the men’s lounge at Gerlin ger hall, announces Merlin Blais, president.

In the fairway matches, Phi Gamma Delta won from Ome ga hall by a de fault, and Phi Delta Theta was victorious in nae manner over Sigma Alpha Mu.

In the racket-wielding games, Beta Theta Pi nosed out Pi Kappa Alpha, two matches to one; Phi Gamma Delta did likewise to Sigma Chi; the Alpha hall aggre gation humbled Phi Sigma Kappa three contests to nothing; and Chi Psi downed International house, two tilts to none, one being stop ped with a tie score due to dark ness.

Practice Tilt Ends 6-5 For] Bill’s Regulars Picked Teams Put on Rea! Ball Game Scales Shows Rare Hurling Form in 3-Frame W orkout Bq BOB RIDDLE The old battle-cry “Play Ball” rang loudly over Reinhart's field j yesterday as Bill and his proteges I put on a five-inning practice ses j sion which ended 6-5 in favor of the regulars. It was a great game while it lasted, and the boys hated I to quit, but it was getting dark i and besides the feed-bag was call ing loudly. Ken Scales, sole veteran pitcher, started for the winners and tossed J a great variety of balls that held j the opposition hitless for three inn ings when he was relieved by Ed Charles who finished the game pitching for both sides. Ike Donin hurled three frames for the losers, but was wild and ineffective. Ste vens started things going in the first when he was safe on an in field error. Palmer sacrificed him to second from where he scored on Mimnaugh's single over first. Pot ter followed with a double and tal lied behind Mimnaugh on Shane man’s drive to center. The winners scored three more in their next time at bat when Chester singled, Watkins doubled, and Scales brought them both in with a nicely placed double to right field. Stevens laid down a perfect bunt which allowed Scales to romp in easily from third. After such a bombardment the “B“ team did not give up hope, but started things of their own going in the first of the fourth. McCall beat out a hit to third and went to second when Mikulak hit one too hard for Stevens to handle at short. Then came “Zack” Wheat with a screaming double to deep left field, scoring both runners. Horner grounded out to short to end the inning. tnings had not stopped yet, how I ever, for again in the fifth Whita i ker started a rally which fell one i short of typing the count, with a j single to left. Sears singled in field to short, and stole second. Chatterton then sent Whitaker home with a slow roller to short. McCall followed with a high-fly two-bagger to deep left field, scor ing both runners. Mikulak, Wheat, and Peters all went out in order, to end the game. The line-up: “A” Squad Stevens, ss Palmer, If Mimnaugh, rf Potter, 3b Shaneman, c Londahl, 2b Chester, lb Watkins, m Scales, p “B” Squad Chatterton, ss McCall, lb Mikulak, 3b Wheat, rf Peters, If Horner, m Sears, 2b Whitaker, c Donin, p I’ROUTY RECEIVES WIRE Lt.

The lineups tor the two teams were decided upon yesterday after noon ii? Callison’s office. Selection of the players was made by flip ping a coin (which got lost every time it got out of Callison's hands). The coaches for each team were selected by the same method. Cal lison will take in the game merely as a spectator. Walsh's eleven, termed by Coach Shields as the “Polecats,” will pre sent a starting lineup consisting of Swanson, center; Gagnon, Giesecke or Johnson, guards; Morgan, Bish op, Smith or Rae, tackles; Pozzo, Terjeson, or Campbell, ends; Bob bitt, quarter; Brown, Parker or Pozzo, halfbacks, and Walsh, full.

Twelve minute quarters will be played. Shy Huntington will ref eree. The winning team will be guests of George Godfrey, University news director, at the Colonial theater to night. All players on the victorious team making scores will get loge seats, the little giant of publicity announced. Bets on the first practice game were being made at the rate- of about one per minute at the Igloo last night. Sam Wilderman, A. S. U. O. news director, was enthusias tic in his support of Walsh’s elev en. Wilderman staked his bet on the fact that perhaps some of the Bowerman clan would fail to show up. The Marine captain announced that any member failing to be , there would be promptly thrown in the mill-race. As this is the first spring prac tice game held here in two years, a large crowd of spectators is ex pected.
