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.

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

dinals’ three all-coast backfiekl
men, and Bob juggled the ball.
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.

No matches
The well-known factor of for
j feits made its usual presence
known yesterday in the intramural
t oumaments,
but only in the
golf rivalry,
with the net
i tourney going
through the
day unscathed.
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 one of the
postponed battles which almost re
sulted in a scandal concerning the
donut athletic officials, the Yeo
men beat the Chi Psi four, 8 to 4,
and thus reversed the original rul
ing which had given the victims a
conquest by a default last Monday.
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.
Results of the Beta—Pi Kap
argument:
Tom White, Pi Kap, defeated
Art Potwin, 6-4, 6-3; Sam Shenk
and A1 Stoehr, Beta, humiliated
Leo Lohikoski and James Rummel,
6-0, 6-1; Carl Gerlinger and Don
Siegmund, Beta, similarly crushed
Malvin McCarthy and Ralph David,
6-0, 6-1.
Summary of the Fiji-Sigma Chi
matches:
Harlan Thompson, Sigma Chi,
downed W. T. White, 7-5, 7-5;
Jake Stahl and Paul Salmon, Fiji,
overcame Ladd Sherman and
Homer Goulet, 6-3, 6-4; Sanford

Recapitulation of the Alpha hall
Phi Sig battles:
Norman Winslow, Alpha hall,
pulverized Harry Smith, 6-0, 6-0;
Wally Baker and Worth Chaney,

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.

Shields, will meet
this afternoon at
4 o’clock to settle

Coach Prink

The lineups tor
the two teams
were decided upon yesterday after

of the players was made by flip

time it got out of Callison's hands).
The coaches for each team were

Shields as the “Polecats,” will pre
sent a starting lineup consisting of
Swanson, center; Gagnon, Giesecke

Inasmuch as there are goal posts
at only one end of the field, Calli

The winning team will be guests
of George Godfrey, University news

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.
