His control was ex cellent, only one man working him for a free trip, and for four in nings he hurled no-hit, no-run ball. Webfoots Falter at Plate Ken also collected one of Ore gon's four hits, a slashing single in the fifth. The other three blows were distributed among Stevens, Londahl and Chester. Johnny's was a double. The members of the front-end of the Webfoot bat ting order failed to hit their caps. The first four innings were un eventful, Idaho staging its deci sive revolt in the fifth. McNeely opened the inning promisingly with a one-bagger through Londahl, but stayed where he was while Scales fanned Jacobsen. Then Hayden laced a single past shortstop and McNeeley went to second. The only walk issued by Scales then went to Williams and the bases were jammed. Schutte, the lumbering catcher, slammed one at Londahl and Stevens hobbled the throw as Mc Neely hiked in with the only run. The score aroused Scales to such an extent that he savagely whiffed Jacobs and Geraughty. Circus Catch Saves Idaho In Oregon’s half of the fifth, dire events were prevented only by a grand circus catch by Hayden, Idaho left-fielder. He jumped far up on the left-fiekl barrier to flag Londahl’s long fly. It looked like the ball was due for an excursion j over the fence, but Hayden BY S. P.

Londahl was safe on Lee’s error and marched around to third when Chester singled over second. This brought Scales up to the plate, with one man down, Shaneman having grounded out previously. Ken hoisted the sec ond pitch deep into center field where it was speared by Ger aughty. Londahl could have am bled home after the catch, but left the safety of the bag too soon and was called out by the base-umpire. Webfoots Impotent After 7th Following this incident, Oregon succumbed in short order. Miku lak, who fanned in the ninth but was safe when Schutte juggled the third strike, was the only man to reach first safely after that. How ever, he was forced by Shanne man, who, in turn, perished at sec ond when Londahl hit into another force-out. That Idaho had lost seven suc cessive games didn't seem to be preying on the Vandals' minds yes terday. They went about their business with efficiency and dis patch, disposing of Oregon like they did such things every day and twice on Sndays. The Web foots obviously were “pressing” and tried so hard for hits that they only got hold of Jacobs’ offerings at scattered intervals. Either Ike Donin or Johnny An derson will be Bill Reinhart’s pitching delegate today. Ossie Edwards is in the infirmary with tonsilitis. John H. Straub, dean emeritus, was at the game. He sat in the west bleachers with his friend, Professor H. C. Howe, Oregon ath letic representative in the Pacific Coast conference.

To watch the boys slouch around in yester Bill Reinhart day s game with the Idaho Van dals one would think that they all had lost their best friend. There was no noticeable chatter to be heard in the field, and for the most part the Duck batsmen were swinging at Jacobs slants line wooden Indians. Unless some rem edy is discovered for this spirit, which is absolutely necessary on a winning ball club, it is doubtful that the Webfoots will rank very high in the race this year. Ken Scales, the Oregon pitcher, hurled good ball during the entire game, but some sloppy fielding on the part of the infield got him in a hole in the fifth, when the Van dals scored their lone tally. Sta tistics show that Scales threw a total of 103 balls during the nine innings, an average of. less than 12 an inning, which is good chuck ing in any league. Tough luck, Ken. The Ducks lost their only chance to score in the seventh canto when Londahl doubled and went down to third. Scales came to bat with one man down and lofted a high fly to center field. Londahl could easily have scored after the catch with the tying run, but left his bag before the fly was caught, and was automatically out, thus retir ing the side. * * * The good old baseball college was again on deck to cheer the boys on, and though its efforts were in vain they added color to the somewhat drab ball game. The poor Alpha Delta Sigma initi ates took quite a beating from “Prexy” Heyden and his gang. ♦-* In the Major Ball Leagues ★-* NATIONAL, LEAGUE STANDINGS W. L. Pet.

Davis Cup Matches In Second Round; Italians Victorious (By Associated Press) Play on the International Ten nis front Wednesday had brought the European and North American zones of Davis Cup competition to the second round. The victory of Italy over Egypt completed the first round of Euro pean play yesterday as the United States, Mexico, Australia, and Cuba finished preparations for the start of their second round ties in the North American zone today. The United States will meet the Central American republic at New Orleans and Australia will clash with Cuba at Havana. The only surprise in European play was the defeat of Czecho slovakia by Austria. The Czechs, with the same team, were zone finalists against England last year. Japan was one round ahead of the field in the European zones with a first round bye and a 5-0 victory over Greece, but the other nations still have second round matches to play.

Hay ward's Webfeet go to their marks against the University of Washing Paul Starr ton trac ksters Saturday they will do 30 with the odds against them. Because of early season marks the Husk ies are favored to come out on top in the dual tussle, but the Oregon team has shown by its two victories so tar this spring that they will be no easy competition for the athletes from the north. Both squads hold victories over the Oregon State cindermen. Hec Edmundson’s men ran rough shod over the Aggies in the opening meet of the northern division sea son burying the O. S. C. team un der a 92-38 score. The Webfeet chalked up a win over their rivals from Corvallis when they scored five wins to three for the Orange men in the annual relay meet. Each Have Two Wins Last Friday Washington turned back the strong W. S. C. squad, 68-63. The Oregon team followed Saturday with a victory over the Idaho Vandals, running up an 83 47 score. As they stand now, each with two victories and no losses, there is sure to be a battle Saturday with each squad out to maintain its per fect record. It is mainly because of their su perior strength in the distance runs that the Washington tracksters are favored Captain Genung in ,the half, Rhuddy and Webber in the mile, and Harrel in the two-mile are sure point-getters for the Pur ple and Gold. Ducks Seek Revenge Oregon’s hopes will lie with Cap tain Paul Starr in the dashes, Johnny Marrs and Art Holman in the 440, Holman and Hubert Al len in the hurdle events, Bill Pal mer and A1 Edwards in the jave lin, and Allen and Palmer in both the broad and the high jump.

Downtown Eugene Becomes Heated as Grid Epic Nears 1 Kostka and Pepelnjak To Head Rival Teams on Friday Night By BRUCE HAMBY Friday night's football game be tween Stan Kostka's Doughboys and Pepper Pepe'njak's Marines Willie Paul nas arousea so much interest among grid fans of Eugene that prominent writ ers, radio an louncers and other local lights are already fling ing dire threats around. The wrestling match es have been called off, the sidewalks will be folded up, and downtown Eugene, en masse, plans to move out to Hayward field. Rivalry between the two elevens is becoming heated as the game draws near and Coach Prink Calli son is worried over the prospect of paying out all the gate receipts for hospital expenses. If nothing else happens, a fierce contest is prom ised. Incidentally, Graduate Manager Hugh Rosson announced last night that students would be admitted to Hayward field on their student body cards. The 50 cents admis sion charge applies only to towns people. Roy Craft, sports editor of the Register-Guard, has thrown his support to Kostka and his outfit. Rush Hughes, announcer of ancient games over KORE, swears that » Pepelnjak's outfit has a cinch. The loser has agreed to climb a goal post. Two of the outstanding linemen on the varsity were lost for the game yesterday. Jim Gemlo, cen ter, was operated on for appendi citis Tuesday and Willie Paul, tackle, is suffering from an injured foot that may keep him on the sidelines. The completed lineups for the game were announced last night. The Doughboys will line up with Swanson at center, Eagle and Bishop, tackles, Giesecke and Mc Donald, guards, and Pozzo and Bailey, ends. With Kostka in the backfield are Aldrich and Bobbitt, fullbacks, Brown, half, and Bower man and Renner, quarterbacks. * Pepelnjak's team will consist of Chase, center; Gagnon and Fury, guards; Morgan, Call, and Bagley, tackles, and Morse and Johnson, ends. In the Marine backfield will be Walsh, Terje3on, Parke, and Parker. Anybody Seen *Kelly1? It's Tongue9« Derby Hat The advertising men are adver tising. Over in the classified column it is supposed to tell about a derby hat Tom Tongue and his pals lost yes terday while they were advertising Alpha Delta Sigma. The derby was one of the "dingbats” used by the nedphytes. It seems that Tom had the hard hat on top of the car in which the four initiates were riding and that as they drove away from Thir teenth and Kincaid streets, it fell off. The boys, pardon us, adver tising men, hunted around several minutes later but there was no trace of the missing “kelly.” HURRAH! Your Week-End Troubles AreOver Why? - - - Because the New Serv ice Laundry washes away your worries and irons out your wrin kles when they do your laundry. QUALITY WORK EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE NEW SERVICE LAUNDRY 839 High Street Phone 825 Mysterious Bunk ONCE in a blue moon now some bright, old-fashioned cynic says: “Aw, I never read the advertisements. They re full of bunk.” But when one starts to look for it, the “bunk” in adver tising shows a mysterious tendency to be absent. Speci mens of it are hard to locate. The reason for that is simple. Bad goods cannot be suc cessfully advertised. To stand up under the pitiless glare of publicity, merchandise must be honest. It must live up to its promises. Otherwise you would quickly cease to buy it. So advertisers discovered long ago that for them, too, honesty was the best policy. More!—the only possible policy, if they were to remain advertisers! Read the advertisements. They are not full of bunk. On the contrary, they are full of honest information and interesting news. They show you ways to be more com fortable. They make life easier. They help you to be happier and healthier. 1 hey teach you prices and values. the Emerald
