OREGON SPORTS Admiral Reinhart is drilling the boys tor the annual big test this week-end when the Webfeet meet the Orangemen in the first of a four-game baseball series. As One Red-HeadToAnofcher; Cap and Red Political Foes —- By DICK NEl BEKGEIi - XTOW that the campus political seems as good a time as an feats and achievements of the two Kea Bailey each other for 1 man.

On th< Bailey flagged Watts’ southpaw 1 Washington defenders swarming c Lillard took across the ball in one Bailey also played a splendid game against Oregon State last fall. He survived practically all of that bitter encounter with a broken nose, having been injured in the opening minutes. He turned in probably the worst performance of his college career against Southern California, when the Tro jans ran him into the ground as they swept on their way to a 53 to-0 victory, but came back cou rageously and finished the season so well that Doc Spears named him on his all-Northwest eleven, an honor also conferred upon Bill Morgan and Mike Mikulak. Red comes from Sacramento, Califor nia, and will finish his college ca reer next autumn. He is looked upon as one of the Webfoots’ main standbys, but is expected to be given tough competition for his post by the lads who played on last year’s freshman eleven. Like Red Bailey, Charles E. (Cap) Roberts is a one-sport man. His specialty is basketball and he is equally as outstanding in the indoor pastime as his political op ppnent is in football. From a rather mediocre start in 1931, Rob erts rose to an unexpected zenith this year as he overcame his com parative lack of height to outplay every opposing center in the Northern division. He was an in spiration to the team and proved Its romance more appealing ... its thrills i n f i n i t ely more exciting . . . its immortal beauty more vividly magni fied. ...

From there Joe :rash at the Husky wall. k so forceful a personality in the numerous crises that beset the Oregon quintet that he was a unanimous choice for the captain cy in 1933. Roberts was third in the indi vidual scoring column this year, trailing only Huntly Gordon and John Fuller, all-coast players. He produced 117 points and was a great pinch-hitter. His Frank Merriwell finish against Oregon State to win the second game with the Corvallis club, 28 to 25, was the highlight of Oregon’s season. He outsmarted Huntly Gordon in all four contests against Washing ton State. The only center whom he failed to show brilliantly against was Fuller of Washington. Cap's fine performances in the Washington State games helped give Oregon the distinction of be ing the only school to win a series against the Cougars. Like Bailey, Roberts comes from California. Oakland is his home. He was se- j lected on almost every all-Pacific Northwest basketball team this year, received a post on Dr. J. Fred Bohler’s all-Coast conference second team and was accorded honorable mention by Walter E. Meanwell and the All-American board. And' that’s all the politics in which this column will indulge. It’s too bad Sir Arthur Conan Doyle couldn’t say something about it, for he once wrote a Sher lock Holmes’ story named the "Red-Headed League," a title that would adapt itself to the situation admirably. Ends Today BROKEN WING* LupeVele* Fiery Flaming Romance and Tingling Adventures. Tonight at 9 p. m. Davenport and Chair Baseballers Don Uniforms For OSC Tilts Natty Gray Garb Proves Becoming to Lads Spirits High for Coming Diamond Struggles With Orangemen By BOB RIDDLE AU decked out and a joy to be hold, the Oregon varsity baseball team, clothed in its natty new uni forms, put on a snappy scrimmage session during yesterday’s drill. Pitchers again held the spotlight for a brief period, but the depart ment that took most of Reinhart’s time was that of base-running. He had the boys running on every thing, including fly balls, just to get the feel of the sacks. The art of pulling a "squeeze play" was another important item on the bill of fare. So perfectly did they work that even "Duke" Shaneman reached home safely a number of times. Ed Charles started pitching to the batters and continued until he tired, where Johnny Anderson relieved him and chucked to two batters when he complained of a sore arm. Rein hart took up the burden until an other hurler was sufficiently warmed up. His old slow-fast ball was working in grand style, and after whiffing one batter right af ter the other he asked to be ex cused, because he hadn’t quite gained his usual control. Some of the Webfeet were swinging wicked bats. Mimnaugh was lining them to right-center field for cincl\ bingles, as “Idaho” Potter, third sacker. “Slug” Pal mer, "Duke” Shaneman, Johnny Londahl, Mike Mikulak, Kermit Stevens, Chester, and McCall all got clean hits during the after noon. Things looked brighter in the Webfoot camp with the news that the Willamette Bearcats drubbed O. S. C. in the second of their three game series, Tuesday, by a 6-2 score. The Beavers had previously taken the first game, 3-2, and had looked so good on the box score that there was a little concern as to the chances for an Oregon win. Now that it has been proven the Orangemen can be beaten, Rein hart’s ball-tossers will have more determination than ever. Today will be the final day of practice before the season gets un der way against Oregon State. A two game win for Admiral Rein hart’s crew will doubtlessly start the ball rolling towards a high berth in the Northwest conference. However, such a feat is not wholly expected of the boys, for they have not had the advantage of a single pre-season contest. It is a sure thing, however, that if they do get off to a bad start it will not last long, for once they become ac quainted to the feel of the diamond it will take big league ball to beat them.

Ruth Relinquishes Mashie in Favor Of Baseball Stick Babe Says Golf Too Tough Ou His Pins; Thinks Yanks Will Win NEW YORK, April 27.— (AF)— Babe Ruth has given up his alter nate love—golf—in order to con centrate and conserve his energies for the business of helping to wal lop the New York Yanks to the top of the American league. “I found out last year I couldn't combine the two games and be .at my best,” he said today. "Maybe I’m getting a little old— but these ball games are tough enough on the legs. “I need the rest I can get on these off days, especially since I have a little touch of water on the knee now and have to take care of that.” This sounded a bit alarming but the Babe added: "No, it doesn’t amount to much. I’ve had it before.” The great man, meanwhile sees no reason for changing his predic tion on the order of the American league finish—New York, Wash ington, Philadelphia. “I’m not so surprised to see the Athletics slippings,” he said. "I expected them to. Washington will be our toughest opposition but the Yanks should win in a walk.

The battalion comprised four companies under individual com mand of R. O. T. C. officers: George Pratt, Company A; Ira Brown, Company B; Wayne Em mett, Company C; and Bob O’Mel veny, Company D. Tam many hall Hoyden Stalks Campus in Vain Through a cold and gloomy cam pus in the wee small hours of the morning a stock figure, stooped as though worried beyond hope, wan dered hopelessly this morning. It was none other than Henry (Tam manyhall) Heyden, politician de luxe, searching, as did Diogenes, for a presidential candidate for his Roustabout party. “Py golly, it’s no use,” he mut tered. "I look everywhere, py gosh, but I can find nobody. Ah me, ah me.” And on into the dusk he trudged. Time Limit Extended On Cap, Gown Orders Caps, gowns and announcements for commencement may be ordered until May 7, Marion McLain, Co op manager, announced last night. Only 200 seniors have ordered an nouncements: 275 have signed up for caps and gowns. Hobart Wilson, senior class president, issued a plea that sen iors turn in their orders at once. Frosh Track Squad Faces Initial Meet Ducklings Meet Rooks In Relays Saturday Hayward Holds Tryouts; O. S. C. Coach Names Entry List Colonel William L. Hayward’s Duckling track stars go into their first competition of the season next Friday at Corvallis when they tangle with the rooks of O. S. C. in the annual yearling relay meet. Hoping to follow the ex ample of the Webfoot varsity, who romped over the Orange track sters in last week's varsity relay meet, Bill and big Ed Moeller, the frosh track coach, have been grooming their proteges for the opening of hostilities with the Beaver babes. No definite announcement has yet been made of the Duckling en tries, but tryouts early this week have narrowed the field of logical contenders. In the sprints, Art Clarkson, Fred Nowland, Arne Lindgren, and Wayne Jamison will probably get the call. All four arc fast men, and should get places on the five teams to be chosen. For the longer distances, candi dates are not so numerous. Talent Greenough, Don Thompson, Wilson Siegmund, and Merle Sleeper have been looking good in the 440. Greenough has been running con sistently under 55 seconds for the distance, and should cut down on this if pressed. Two stellar distance men will be on hand for the baby Ducks. Bob Wagner and Tom Lee, both able to run a 4:35 mile, have been neck and-neck in every tryout to date. Lee has been specializing in the half mile lately. Roy Lamb has announced his rook entries for the meet. Charles Fyoch, sensational sprinter who recently ran a 9.9 hundred yard dash, is conspicuous by his absence from the list. Fyoch will be in eligible for competition until he makes up a number of incompletes on his grade list. The rook entries are as follow: 440-yard relay—Rutherford, Bill Patrick, Hicks, and Franklin. 880-yard relay—jFranklin, Ruth erford, Hicks, and Campbell. Mile relay—Koerner, White, Bob Patrick, and Bardsley. Three-mile relay—Bufton, Mc | Dowell, Zentner, and Farrow. | Distance medley—Bill Patrick, j Bob Patrick, Hixon, and Bryant. $5 MEN’S $5 Oxford Sale Thursday—Friday—Saturday Buster Brown Shoe Store $ SPORTS OXFORDS or DRESS OXFORDS ALL FOR THIS ONE PRICE oo $5.00 WILL BUY ANY PAIR OF MEN’S OXFORDS IN THE STORE VALUES TO $8.00 Including all white—black and white—brown and white —all brown or black—brogues—all dress oxfords.
