OREGON SPORTS Oregon opens its Northern divi sion baseball campaign against Oregon State at Corvallis Friday, providing, of course, the diamond there isn’t under water by that time. A Real Track Starr; More About the Admiral’s Ark - By DICK NETJBERGER — THE flood tide at Hayward field reached a new high-water level j yesterday and Admiral Reinhart hurriedly rushed forward plans for the construction cf his ark. The breakers were booming off the break-water at McArthur court as the admiral met with his ship Paul Starr building committee to make the necessary preparations for his proj ect. Reinhart believes he has about two weeks in which to build a boat that will be seaworthy, having com puted that the water will not be above the roof of the igloo until that time. In the meantime, the admiral an nounces there will be surf-bathing at the baseball diamond every after noon from 1 to 4. Beach patrols Col. Hayward have been organized and those in charge say the dangers of drowning have been reduced to a bare minimum. Construction of the ark will start this afternoon on the top of McArthur court. The materials will be raised to that point by a crane. Practically all the stateroom space on the “A” and “B” decks has been reserved already, but Admiral Reinhart says there are some ( choice inside rooms yet available. Mr. Omar Clyde Palmer, the cele- 1 brated chef, has spenl the last two days getting the commissary ready. 1 Everything is shipshape in the galley, announces Mr. Palmer, who v promises A-No. 1 meals if he has to cook them himself. s * * * So much for the ark. You will be kept informed upon the latest 11 developments in its construction from time to time in this column. 1 This fellow Paul Starr is a star in action as well as name. His running performances against Ore gon State Saturday were the feats of an iron-man. He ran on four of Oregon’s five victorious teams and packed the baton every time a record was broken, the Web foots smashing three marks. Ore gon’s lithe captain won all the heats he competed in, easily out distancing the best dashmen the Beavers could send against him. He was by far the outstanding hero of the Webfoots’ unexpected victory. Lanky Art Holman and Paul Bale also did some creditable work for the winners. For the Orangemen. Bill Mullins, a plucky half-miler, ran a nice 880 to help his team run away with the two mile relay. A splendid sprint in the last 100 yards of his race en abled Mullins to bring in the baton far ahead of Oregon’s runner. The Webfoots’ triumph was good medicine for Colonel Bill Hayward, who climbed out of bed to direct his men on the field. He went back home immediately after the meet, but yesterday Mrs. Hay ward said he was much improved. Ed Moeller, the discus thrower, who coached the Oregon runners in the colonel’s absence, did a fine job. Ed’s ambition is to be a track coach and Colonel Hayward thinks he’ll make a good one. , * * * The most expensive baseball STARTS TODAY \The m Bum mo LUPE ( VI LIZ I LEO CARRILLOl - MELVYN DOUGLAS Eugene High School Dramatic Club in “FAREWELL, CRUEL WORLD” TODiiEEGE3-n41' James Dunn Linda Watkins “Sob Sister” EDDIE QU1LLAX “The Big Shot player ever to perform in this 1 state has been sent to the Cleve- 1 land Indians by the Chicago White t Sox.

Moeller Calls for Frosli Relay Meet Aspirants All freshmen who will compete in the Oregon State relay carnival must report at Hayward field this afternoon, Ed Moeller, assistant track coach, announced last night. Moeller says it is absolutely necessary that every yearling who may participate in the meet be on hand promptly at 4.

Sharkey Shouts 4 Just One Sock!' NEW YORK, April 26.—(APj — Big and bellicose as ever, perhaps even more of both, Jack Sharkej drove into town today to express some of the strangest sentiments that ever fell from the lips of s prize fighter. “I don’t care,” he said, “if then aren't ten people out to sec m< fight Max Schmeling June 16. 1 don't care if there’s only twc judges and the referee. All I want is one solid smack at the Dutch man.” Jimmy Johnston, little mogul ol Madison Square Garden's boxing world, stared at him in amaze ment. "But John,” he gasped. “Yoi mean . . . you don't . . . not m cash customers ...” Sharkey was very firm about it "In these times there won't b< many cash customers anyway. Yoi | aren’t fooling anybody talking [about $1,000,000 gates and 80,00f | people. I don’t care whether any | body comes, except Schmeling.

Soft Ball Tilts Unharmed By Precipitation All Slated Games Played Yesterday at Last Fiji, Yeomen, SAM, Tliela Chi, Pi knp, Phi Psi, Beta, Alpha llpsilon Win TODAY’S DONUT SCHEDULE No contests of any kind will be played this afternoon. For the first time in several days, each and every soft ball game in the intramural tourna ment was played yesterday. With the relenting of the rain, all the slated frays went off according to schedule. No donut activities are on the program today. Closer and more tightly played tilts were in evidence, and not a game of the runaway vintage was displayed. The Fiji nine beat Sig ma hall, 6 to 1. The Yeomen slug gers tallied the greatest numbers of runs earned by any one team yesterday, when they downed the Sigma Nu squad by a score of 16 to 6. The Sigma Alpha Mu tossers downed Sigma Chi, 6 to 3, in a hard fought struggle. The Betas were in possession of a shutout victory as a result of the stellar pitching of Preston Gunther, who tamed the Kappa Sigma batters to gain a 2-0 conquest. Theta Chi won a ball game without so much as handling the pellet by taking a forfeited fray from the Zeta hall aggregation. Alpha Tau Omega splashed to a conquest in the mud over Pi Kappa Alpha and entered a game on the right side of the ledger, the final score being 8 to 4. Phi Kappa Psi trimmed the Alpha hall combination to the tune of a 9-5 success, while the Alpha Upsilon swatters were sending Sigma Pi Tau down to defeat, 7 to 5.

Stimson Will Try To End Deadlock; GENEVA, April 26. (AP)—An attempt to smash the disarma ment conference deadlock will be ; made Friday at a meeting of the I "Big Five” statesmen which was ■ arranged today largely through l the efforts of Secretary of State Henry Stimson. Much significance was attached ; here to Premier Andre Tardieu’s decision to attend. A deadlock has : resulted from the division of the ! ' conference into two camps. Head ing one faction are the French j who hold that the way to handle ' the disarmament program is for each nation to contribute arms | and ammunition to an interna-' 1 tional police force supervised by " the League of Nations. Bruening j and the United States are the 2 leaders of the other faction, whose j thesis is there should be specific . reductions in certain clauses of ‘ arms by each nation. Reinhart Drills Swatters For Annual Tilt With Orangemen Individual Instruction Is Given Hurlers for O.S.C. Series .lack O’Brien’s frosh baseball team will tangle with Salem high school tonight at 3:30 sharp. By BOB RIDDLE Wonder of wonders! The pro verbial Jupiter Pluvius became chicken-hearted and allowed Ad Admiral Reinhart iim.u ivfumai i o baseball squad its first real chance in over a week to work out before the first of the traditional series with the Oregon State Beavers at Corvallis today. Admiral Rein hart was quick in taking advantage of the break, too, and tutored the boys through a stiff three-hour drill which lasted until 6:30 p. m., when it was fi nally decided that in order to pla% any longer it would be necessary to install field lights. Admiral Bill decided that this act would not make such a hit with the board of higher education so he called a halt, much to the disgust of the players. Most of the individual instruc tion in yesterday’s practice was given to the pitchers. Anderson, Edwards, Scales, Donin, and Charles worked in order, and showed lots of stuff. Anderson, ex swim star, and the only left-hand er on the pitching staff, received most of the tutoring. He showed a big variety of balls but was in clined to be a trifle wild. Plenty is expected of him before the season is far advanced. Ossie Edwards was next in line and had the batters poping easy flies during his brief sojourn on ^the mound. His fast ball was zooming in with unusual accuracy and his curves were breaking per fectly. He is almost a sure bet to hurl in one of the games of the State series. Ken Scales, sole let terman from last year’s team, fol lowed Edwards to the mound, and strutted his usual stuff. He is an other sure starter. The remaining chuckers, Ed Charles and Ike Donin, though hit lustily at the start, settled down and finished in great style. Charles lacks the variety of balls thrown by some of the other hurlers, but his peculiar delivery stands him in good stead, and he should develop into quite a winner. Donin relies mostly on a fast ball, and though he is inclined to be rather wild in streaks he will doubtlessly be heard from this season. Infield practice took up the re mainder of the drill. It is a sure thing that the Webfeet will have plenty of spirit in their line-up if nothing else, and that is what it takes to win ball games. The other big factor considered on a winning team is experience and in this re spect Reinhart’s crew is far from lacking, will* eight of the nine po sitions filled by veterans. Chester, Londahl, Stevens, and Potter are all old infield stand-bys, not to ex clude "Duke" Shaneman, catcher extraordinary, who is proving the work-horse of the outfit. He seems to never tire of keeping up the old chatter, and is proving a great source of consolement to his pitch ers. He is also swinging a wicked bat in practice tilts. In Oregon State the Webfoots will meet a team of considerable prowess. Bad weather has also been playing them tricks, but the Beavers have managed to get in one practice game with the Wil lamette Bearcats, and were victor ious, 3-2, although Peterson, Wil lamette pitcher, struck out 23 State men. Admiral Reinhart has yet to see his men in action this year, but is far from downcast. Good weather for the two games should work as a stimulus to the ball club. YeomenFind Way to Finals In Net Rivalry Donut Championship To Be Played Tomorrow Independents To Vie With Phi Delt Racketeers For Tennis Title The Yeomen swung their way into the finals bf the intramural tennis tournament yesterday when they trounced the Chi Psi netmen, three matches to none. The vic tors will battle their arch-rivals, the Phi Delts, tomorrow to decide the championship in the racket event. Their victory brought the In dependents. to the finals in the tennis competition for the second season in a row, but the Zeta hall aggregation overcame them in the final argument last year. In the singles fray, Lloyd Gor dinier, playing his first tourna ment battle for the conquerors, outlasted George Babson and won two out of three sets, 6-2, 6-8, 6-0. Gordinier took the first set easily, but his opponent came to life in the second session. The victor got his second wind in the deciding heat and galloped into a victory. The first doubles team of the Yeomen, composed of Tom Moun tain and Del Thom, disposed of John Guild and Bob Trimm in easy fashion to gain a 6-3, 6-3 conquest. The victors outclassed the Chi Psi tandem team by their superior all around play. Dick Dallas and Ingram Kjos ness, the Independents’ second duo, sent Paul Austin and Don Thomp son of the Chi Psi squad down to defeat, 6-3, 7-5. NEGRO TAKES BOUT TRENTON, N.
