MIDNITE PREVIEW Saturday — 11:15 1\ M. “The Speckled Band’’ with SHERLOCK HOLMES A Great Football Player; Spring Game Again Today ---By DICK NEUBERGER --- HIS NAME is- Lemon Holt. His teammates called him “Rusty.” He played left halfback for the University of Hawaii football eleven that met the University of Oregon in an inter-territorial game at Portland three years ago, Cap McEwan's last season here, i His team did not win, nor did he reach the scoring sod he tried so j Bob Robinson valiantly to gam an aiternoon, out 20.000 Portlanders and the two : score men who played on the Ore gon eleven never will forget the dashing little brown-skinned boy, who, single-handed, tried to win a football game and almost succeeded in doing so. The VVebfoots played against Merle Hufford of Washington, | Buster Crabtree of Florida, and < Frankie Wilton of Stanford that I year, but they never saw tlie equal of the performance Rusty Holt gave Rusty Holt j on Multnomah field in an attempt to avert an inevitable defeat. Ore gon was by far the heavier team. It outweighed the Hawaiians almost 20 pounds to the man. The ratio of the reserve strength was almost : proportionate, the Islanders having brought a small squad of only 28 players. Yet, the score was only 7 lo 0. Oregon got its lone touchdown just before the half ended when Bobby Robinson grabbed one of Holt’s twisting spirals and returned it 55 yards to scoring territory. The j goal-kick made it 7 to 0. lip till that time Hawaii had not been able I to move out of its tracks, but Robinson’s run marked the turning point in the Islanders’ offensive. * I DONUT CHATS j The superactivity of the storm and rain clouds this.week has cer tainly played havoc with the sched ule of the donut soft ball tourna ment. Of 32 games which had been slated to be played up to and in cluding yesterday, 14 have been de layed. The largest dent came yes terday when all of the eight ball frays were called off. * * * Participants in the various all campus tournaments seem to be chary of playing their matches. Very few contests have been com pleted in any of the four tourna ments, which include tennis sin gles, tennis doubles, golf, and horseshoes. * * * The intramural tennis and golf tourneys are both nearing the end of their trail. In the net rivalry, i the Yeomen, who were figured to walk through all competition in ; their title seeking quest nearly ran : into a Waterloo in the persons of 'the Alpha hall netmen; the inde pendents did finally manage to eke out a win. Their chances were ! considerably weakened when Fred Ahearn, their singles player, was declared ineligible for donut play. The intramural officials learned i that he had earned a letter in ten nis at Whitman college. Lecture Moved To Gym Monday Change of the meeting place for I the third of the group of lectures on “Love and Marriage” to the men's gymnasium was announced | yesterday by Paul Bale, chairman | of the committee in charge. The I meeting was_ originally scheduled for the music auditorium. “Pre-marital Problems” will be i the topic for the phase of love and : marriage to be discussed bv Dr. Harold Leonard Bowman of Port land. as the third number in the series. The lecture will be given j Monday night at 8:15 o’clock. The fourth of the series will be given May 2 by Dr. Edmund S. i Conklin of the psychology depart men‘. His topic will be “Psycho logical Aspects of Love and Mar , riage.” New Show Tonight Stevenson’s Immortal Drama Lives Anew! ' Throughout the entire third j quarter Holt circled the ends, I pounded the center and cut back over the tackles as he gradually i worked the ball into Oregon terri tory. He interspersed his ground ittack with a series of marvelous forward passes that had the Web foots running all over the field. Twice Holt threw incomplete passes over the Oregon goal line and three times he worked the ball down to the five-yard ribbon. He lacked the weight—he tipped the beam at only about 170—to penetrate Oregon’s massed-up de fense on the goal line. But he treated the Portland crowd to one of the greatest exhibitions it ever saw, and turned what everyone had expected to be a massacre into a surprisingly close football game. When Rusty finally was carried from the field late in the fourth quarter as the November sun was dipping down behind the hills, the applause that arose from the sta dium sounded like the peal of thunder on the heights back of the field. Another spring football game here today. If it’s anything like the last one, it will he well worth seeing. Prink Callison says there will be no captains this afternoon, the two squads having been divided up by the coaching staff. * * * Notice where the St. Louis Car dinals and the New York Giants ire trailing the National league'.' That’s a funny situation. The two teams all the experts confidently predicted to lead the parade are resting together in the cellar. However, the early-season start doesn’t mean much. Teams that bloom in the spring often wilt in the heat of the mid-summer sun. It’s the club that can finish in the stretch that comes through. A race is always won in its last half. * * * Let’s hope Colonel Bill Hayward will lx- well enough to lake charge of the Oregon trackmen at tomor row’s meet with Oregon State. It wouldn’t l>e a bona fide contest if Colonel Bill weren’t there. By the way, here’s some news that will interest the colonel. It’s about Ralph Hill, his star miler of two years ago. However, I’ll let Braven Dyer tell the colonel about Ralph. Here’s how Braven describes Hill’s latest feat in the Los Angeles Times: “All by himself Ralph Hill won the two-mile event at Patterson field yesterday afternoon. This wasn’t surprising inasmuch as the former University of Oregon miler, in doing so, set a new Pacific Coast record of Din. 23 2-5s. When you run that fast against Far Western competition you’re bound to lie rather lonesome inasmuch as our most energetic eight-lai lads are fairly looping the looj when they hit around 9m. 40s. “Hill’s effort featured the Olym pic club-Southern California’s mecl which the Trojans won as expect ed, !)I /2 to 39</2, while showing brilliantly in many events when such radiance was rather surpris ing. “The old Pacific Coast two-mill record of 9m. 2'.3s. was set ii 1929 by Sellers of Washington running against Oregon State a Corvallis. Hill and Sellers arc tin only coast men to get under 9m 30s., at least officially. The ex Oregon star ran the mile in 4m 12 3-5s. two years ago, but is con centrating on the larger grim now in prepaiatiou lor the Olytu I pie Games.’’ *-* In the Major Ball Leagues ★----—★ AMERICAN LEAGUE STANDINGS W.
