Soft Ball Tilt Contests Will Start Monday Yeomen To Meet Sigma; SAE, SAM Will Vie Favorites To Capture Flag In Donut Tourney Are Undecided By JOSEPH SASLAVSKY The playoffs for the intramural soft ball championship will get un der way Monday, when two games will be played, each starting at 4 p. m. In one contest, the Yeo men and Sigma hall will do bat tle, while the Sigma Alpha Mu and Sigma Alpha Epsilon nines are trading hits in another tilt. The Delta Tau Delta squad, the fifth and remaining aggregation which will vie in the title series, drew a bye and will be hors de combat until Tuesday afternoon at 4 p. m., when it will oppose the winner of the Yeomen-Sigma hall fracas. .. Winner Undecided The probable conqueror of the donut title is an unknown quan tity. The Yeomen and Sigma hall teams probably have the better hurlers, with Sol Schneider and Lyman Wiltshire on the hillocks, respectively, but one team will drop out of the running after their fray is completed. The SAE ros ter is probably the best all-around team, with a wonderful infield and a good outfield which have been pillars of strength in helping Don Eva, the SAE tosser, with his games. The Delt combination is a powerhouse in hitting strength, and Bob Holmes on the slab should be able to hold his own. The Sam mie nine is a fairly good outfit with Les Goldschmidt in the box, but do not seem to measure up to the strength of their first oppo nents, the SAE’s. Batteries Announced The probable batteries for Mon day’s games are as follow: Yeomen—Schneider and Wicks. Sigma hall—Wiltshire and Ruff. SAM—Goldschmidt and Roten berg. SAE—Eva and Phillips.

A. U. half mile champion, whose ambition is to meet Ben Eastman, Stanford’s great runner, in the Olympic games this summer, gave the Uni versity of Washington a sensa tional 68-to-63 victory over Wash ington State college, in their an nual dual track and field battle today. The mile relay, the last event on the program, decided the issue after both schools were tied at 63 all and Genung, running anchor for the Huskies, burned up the cinders on the final lap to break the tape three yards ahead of Ken neth Wills, flashy Cougar, to hand winning honors to Washington. Three thousand spectators crowded together at the finish line and cheered Eddie to the echo as he took the baton from his team mate Galer on even terms with Wills and raced to victory. He let Wills set the pace until the final stretch and then shot ahead as they entered the last straight away. Both boys streaked down the stretch neck and neck until Y within 50 yards of the finish where Genung by a mighty effort forged out in front to win one of the most thrilling track meets ever seen in this stadium. The Huskies had been doped to capture the show by from 1~ to 20 points, but unexpected victories by the Cougars in the high and low hurdles and the discits saw them battle on even terms all the way. The meet was marred by two accidents, Paul Swift, Washington State’s demon sprinter, falling out of the 100-yard dash with an old leg injury after leading the first 00 yards, and Bracken hurting his leg in the high hurdles which kept him from finishing and unable to start the lows. Matters were even on both sides, however, as Swift had been picked to win both the sprints and Bracken the two hur dles. No records were broken but Al bert Crosetto, W. S. C., won the two-mile grind in better time than the northern division Pacific Coast conference mark. His time was 9 minutes 28.6 seconds, while the conference mark is 9:30.4, set by Gillette of Montana in 1926. The dual meet record is 9:27.5. Con ference marks can be shattered only in the annual conference meet. Baseball M ► Sidelights By BOB RIDDLE Good ole Buck Bailey! What would a ball game be without this colorful figure on the sidelines? Buck is the genial coach of the Washington State Cougars, and it’s two to one that he figures he won yesterday’s game single handed. He’s the forepiost expo nent of college “luck” methods, and the contortions he doesn’t go through during a ball game are not worth mentioning. * * * Boy, what a hole Buck dug in front of the Cougar players’ bench! He’s a mammoth fellow with huge hands that remind one of steam shovels. Whenever his boys got in any kind of a hole down went Buck’s paw for a scoop of “sod.” At the close of the Cou gar victory a look at the Wash ington State bench reminded one of an excavation for the Wool worth building. Thus it is a sure thing that Buck didn’t have many restful moments even though his outfit did win the ball game. Ken Scales suffered two bad in nings, the second and the eighth, when the Cougars scored three in each. But for those two innings, Scales had the situation well in hand. His out-drop was working to perfection and it looked as if there was going to be a few broken necks among the Washing ton boys. * i * The baseball college was very much in evidence. Those poor freshman football stars certainly took a beating. Austin Colbert was not exempt from a slight "hacking,” either. He was caught "high-hatting” the boys and took the consequences. A total of four “piggers” took the grade, too. More power to the baseball col lege. * * * It was during the eighth inning that Buck Bailey got going again. First of all he walked up to the ! orderly arranged bats and kicked them in all directions. Then he j started a never ceasing call, I "Fourteen hits and fourteen runs!” CORSAGES .... For Mother To Wear Sunday on Mother’s Day Choice of Gardenias, Roses and Other Spring Flowers FLOWERS BY WIRE IF SHE IS OFT OF TOWN CHASE GARDENS Phone 1950 67 East Broadway Believe it or not, the Cougars did collect three runs on five hits. There must be something to the Bailey system after all. It was during this inning that Buck gave the crowd a big laugh when he picked up the squad water bucket and downed the whole thing. & * * Probably the biggest treat of the game was the exhibition put on before the start by “Smoky Joe” Lillard and Buck Bailey, and also two Washington State play ers. It was an unexplainable treat to behold. Joe is playing profes sional ball this year and Bailey is an old-timer of note. All in all it was a well-played game, and one worth seeing. The Cougars showed a well-balanced attack, but the Webfoots still think it possible to conquer the men from Pullman, and will be out for blood this afternoon, when the two teams meet again at 2:30. Lillard and Bailey will again be on the scene to give the crowd a treat, and it will be the last chance for the fans to see the league leading Cougars in action. Tick On’ Reigns as Horse To Beat in Kentucky Derby Running of Race Track Classic Ready To Go This Afternoon LOUISVILLE, Ky„ May 6. (API—Tick On, the black beauty of the East, gained further sup port today as the standout favor ite for the Kentucky Derby as an even score of three-year-olds, the best of a somewhat depleted class, formally were entered for the 58th running of America’s most famous horse race tomorrow after noon. The swing in expert sentiment toward the star of the Loma sta ble, owned by Mrs. Louis G. Kauf mann of New York, was acceler ated by a smashing workout this morning. Outstanding among the thor oughbreds given a good chance to upset the favorite were the entry of Col. E. R. Bradley, Burgoo King and Brother Joe; and the pair that will carry the colors of Mrs. John Hay Whitney, Stepen fetchit and Over Time. Tick On remained a 2 to 1 quo tation in the wagering. The odds were 6 to 1 each against the Brad ley and Whitney horses. J. H. Loucheim’s Economic is fourth choice at 8 to 1.

Geology Graduate Gives Lectures in University Chester Washburne, graduate of the University and one of the four or five leading consulting geolo gists in the United States, has been giving a series of illustrated lectures to geology majors in the local department. These lectures, given by a man of wide experience on every con tinent in this field, are of excep tional value to the students as it gives them a different point of view from that of the professor’s, according to Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor of geology. Mr. Washburne has also accom panied the students on various field trips. Bruins Prepare to Emerge From Football Doldrums Spaulding Hopes To Have1 Victorious UCLA Team For Coming Year By STU ART~MILLER UNIVERSITY OF CALIFOR (Exclusive to Emerald) NIA at Los Angeles, May 6.— (Special)—"Der Tag!” Is 1932 the year when Coach Bill Spaulding will lead the U. C. L. A. Bruins out of the desert into the promised land? Westwood seems to think so, and Herr Spaulding certainly does not deny the fact. In fact, the genial guider of U. C. L. A.'s grid fate is the chief dispenser of the good word. Let’s see what it is that makes the campus and the coaching staff so optimistic. First there's the matter of re turning lettermcn, of whom Spaulding is blessed with no less than 20. The Bruins lose but four outstanding men in Len Wellen dorf, the all-Coast end; Dick Mul haupt, another stellar wingman; Captain Norman Duncan, fullback; and Lloyd McMillan, tackle. Heading the list of returning regulars is Lenny Bergdahl, quar terback and hero of U. C. L. A.’s 12-0 victory over St. Mary’s, and Bobby Decker, Bergdahl’s half back running mate. These two are a whole backfield in themselves and will be supported adequately by the presence of Joe Keeble, the pile-driving halfback whom Spauld ing plans to chance over to a full back, and Mike Frankovich and Walt Clark, shifty ball toters from the 1931 freshman squad. In reserve backfield material, Spaulding has plenty. He has no less than four extra quarterbacks in Joe Berry, Johnny Fletcher, Ed Hassler, and Briggs Hunt. Halfbacks are plentiful with Bob Hendry back from the varsity and ‘‘Pants’’ Livesay, “Sleepy” Lightner, and “Pat” Patterson up from the freshman squad. The fullback post, however, will probably cause Spaulding some trouble. Not only has Captain Dun can graduated but also his second and third string understudies, "Howie” Roberts and Aubrey Grossman. Joe Keeble will be made over from fullback to fill the gap, but a capable substitute will be difficult to find. It is on the line where the Bruins should win their games next year. The entire forward wall is com posed of veterans, four of whose members are seniors. While critics expect Spaulding flanks to be weak with the loss of Wellendorf and Mullhaupt, the re turn of Bill Maxwell and Walt Stickel insure the Bruins adequate strength at the wings. The ends are further made potent by the presence of Sinclair Lott and Ralph McChesney, freshman stars. Sapulding's line from tackle to tackle should fairly generate pow er. Starting at center and go through the list. For a first string pivot man, the Bruins have Cap tain Homer Oliver, 203 pounds. His substitute is Lee Coates, another beefy gentleman of about 190 pounds build. Up to guards and there you have Gordon Jones, “Spec” Haslani, Ed Austin, and Chuck Williams. With the exception of Haslam, the guards weigh around 185 pounds. Haslam and Jones have the inside track on the first string positions at present. In Jones, Sapulding thinks he has a potential all-coast guard if not an all-American. Jones is stockily built, weighs around 185 pounds, and is very fast for his size. He leads the Bruin interfer ence as running guard. The tackles are another strong point in the Bruin attack. Hert Spaulding has the services of Houghton “Eat" Norfleet, a veter an of two years’ standing; Mike Dimas, Ed Rafferty, Kearrx Hamp ton, regulars; and Muller and Me Comas, up from the lreshman elev en. In addition to this set-up there will be the usual flock of junioi college transfers, former ineligi !®ajSJ3JSISJSJSJSJaiEE/5®SJ5MflJS/3IBJBISIiJS/SISJSI3JSr[3J3ISIS®3EEI5!S®3MSJSJ^.

Not even the most optimistic is ready to admit the Bruins have arrived. That is a matter of an other five years, at least. But many believe next season will stand out as the beginning of outstand ing gridiron success at U. C. L. A. Spaulding, in checking over the schedule, sees Oregon as his tough est foe. The 13-6 defeat last sea son so soon after U. C. L. A.'s bril liant triumph over St. Mary’s left a sour taste in the head mentor’s mouth, and he is determined to up set the Webfoots on October 15 at Portland if he does nothing else. The Stanford game on October 29 here will be THE game, provid ing the Bruins are undefeated up to that point. If the Reds and Bruins face each other with clear records on that date, a capacity crowd is anticipated at the Olym pic stadium. A victory over the Indians will definitely put West wood "over the hump" in football. The Bruins open the season against Idaho here on September 30, rest until October 15 for the Oregon game, then rest again un til the Stanford battle on the 20th. They jump back into things on November 11 against St. Mary's in the traditional Armistice day Olympic stadium. Spaulding’s charges then get another rest until November 24, when they meet Washington State here. Following that contest, the Bruins play Washington here on Decen^ber 3, and windup the season away from home on December 24, facing Flor ida at Gainsville, Florida, in a re turn game. Albany Debaters State Champions The high school debating cham pionship of the state was awarded last night to the team from Al bany high in the contest, h£ld in Villard hall. The Albany team, champions of Western Oregon, met Chiloquin, Eastern Oregon champions, up holding the negative of the unem ployment insurance question. Presentation of the DeCou cup, awarded annually to the cham pions, was made by Dr. DeCou following the unanimous decision of the judges. Members of the winning team were William A.

Prouty pitched the first three innings for the Frosh but was re placed by Lake when too big a lead was amassed by the Rooks. Lake managed to keep things un der control for the rest of the game, but the team was unable to overcome the lead taken by the Rooks. He also managed to gar ner the only home run of the game off Woodard, who replaced Ras mussen in the sixth for the Rooks. Nicely performed well behind the bat for the Frosh and Hol lenbeck caught for the Rooks.
