Event in Three
Team Track Meet
Yearlings Score Heavily
In Meet With Eugene
Anil Cottage Grove
Winning easily in all 14 events,
Oregon’s Duckling tracksters
scored a convincing victory over
prep teams from Eugene and Cot
tage Grove high schools yesterday
on Hayward field. No official
score was kept during the meet;
but with a 5-3-2-1 scoring system,
an unofficial count gave the Duck
lings 97 points, Eugene 31 points,
and Cottage Grove 20 points.
Times in the track events were
not exceptional, but on the field
the yearlings outdid themselves to
set up enviable marks. Gardner
Frye, frosh weight man, put the
shot past 45 feet and tossed the
discus nearly to the 140-foot mark.
Fred Nowland, yearling hur
dler, carried off high scoring hon
ors. He placed first in every event
he entered, winning both hurdles
and the high jump.
Guggisberg, Cottage Grove star,
was the best prep performer on
the field. A natural miler, he was
the backbone of the Cottage Grove
aggregation, .and played the part
of the iron man of the meet, en
tering in the javelin, the discus,
the mile, the 440, and the 100-yard
dash. He is one of the best prep
distance men in the state, win
ning in this event in the state high
school meet at Corvallis several
weeks ago.
Courage and Grit for You;
Wild Bill Gets a New Job
- By DICK NEUBERGER --
'T'HINK of all the courage and grit you’ve read about in athletics,
A and then see if it even comes close to that of Edgar William
Warren of Yale university.
Last spring Warren, generally considered the outstanding college
shortstop in the East, was elected captain of Old Eli's baseball nine
for 1932. Following the close of the school year, he went to the Ad
irondacks for his vacation. One afternoon on a little mountain lake,
he fell from the deck of a motorboat and his left arm was cut so
badly by the propeller that it had to be amputated.
Seemingly, the unfortunate injury had ended his baseball career,
but his teammates would not tolerate his resigning the captaincy.
When the Yale team started the 1932 season. Captain Warren sat on
the bench, but several weeks ago against Wesleyan he astounded even
his associates by appearing in right field. Using a glove that had
no back-strap, he made two putouts on high flies, both times jerking
off the glove and throwing with his bare hand. He committed no
errors.
He went to the plate five times, grounded out once, knocked a
high fly, crashed a single that brought in a run, got a base on balls
and struck out. He wielded a sawed-off, 28-ounce bat in his one hand.
Due partially to his efficient performance, Yale was victorious by the
decisive score of 15 to 2.
Captain Warren practices with the Yale nine every afternoon,
but believes the team might do better without him, so he said the
Wesleyan game was the last in which he would appear.
Can you think of anything that takes more mental and physical
courage than ihat ? If he had two arms, I’d like to see Edgar William
Warren play football. I bet no 220-pound tackle, or anything else in
cleated shoes, would phase him.
“Wild Bill” McKalip, the tall
end from Oregon State college,
who raised such havoc against
Oregon in the Homecoming game
two years ago, is now head coach
and director of all athletics at
Oreland high school in Oreland,
California. Wild Bill is coaching
all four major sports—football,
baseball, basketball and track.
Just what that will do to his
professional football career with
Portsmouth, I don’t know. If Bill
keeps the Oreland job, he’ll prob
ably not play pro football this au
tumn. Oreland is only a short
distance from Willows, California,
which is Wild Bill’s home town.
Wild Bill got his rough-and
tumble nickname in- the Oregon
Oregon State game of 1930 when
he was the main reason for a 15
to-0 Orange victory. He blocked
three punts that afternoon and
was directly responsible for every
scoring opportunity the Beavers
received. Incidentally, it also was
the first defeat Doc Spears ever
suffered on the Pacific coast. Pre
vious to that the famous doctor
had won all his games at Oregon
and also had led Dartmouth to
intersectional victories over Wash
ington and Gonzaga.

About the classiest baseball
players who have appeared here
in a long time are Art McLarney
of Washington State, and Ned
Nelson and Gabby Harnett of
Washington. All three are under
careful surveillance by major and
coast league scouts. McLarney’s
performance at shortstop against
Oregon was flawless, and, although
he failed to hit consistently
against the Webfoots, his batting
average is around .350.
Both Nelson and Harnett have
been considered by Bill Klepper of
Seattle and other professional
magnates. The former, who also
excels on the basketball court,
plays second base and does it to

and fast enough on bases to be a
constant threat. Harnett is a
classy catcher. He is death on
any foul fly within running- dis

holds up his pitchers well. He is
another lusty hitter. He also is
an admirer of Gabby Hartnett,
the Chicago Cubs’ sterling catcher,
whose name is so like his own.
That was quite a javelin throw

nothing to be sneezed at in any

mark consistently.

Outside of Scales, who again
proved himself the most consistent
pitcher in the northern division,
and Londahl, Potter and Shane
man, the Webfoots did little of
which to be proud. Tex Mim
naugh continued to play in tough
luck. He hit the ball on the nose,
but it landed in the Washington
boys' pockets. Since the start of
the season Texas has been unfortu
nate that way. However, he con
tinued to fulfill his fielding re
sponsibilities, which helped to a
certain extent anyway.
Tubby Graves said some nice
things about Ken Scales after the
game. “Ken is a fine pitcher,” ob
served Tubby. “It was a shame
for him to lose today.”
The Webfoots go on the road to
morrow. Their chances of doing
anything in the way of champion
ships and penants are about gone,
so it will be one of those every
thing to gain and nothing to lose
trips. Bill Reinhart hasn't decided
yet who he'll take with him. . The
Washington series changed his
mind about some of the boys. He
said he wouldn’t select the travel

Twenty-four were killed today,
and 200 injured before the soldiers
who had been rushed here from
Poona, had restored order. But the
strife between the two hostile races
meanwhile had spread to Calcutta
where police were forced to fire on
a mob. Several constables and
about 20 civilians were injured.
The trouble at Calcutta appar
ently began when the Hindus sta
tioned on house tops stoned a Mos
lem religious procession. The Mos
lems retaliated.

Wilson Gaw’s Brother Too
Much; Field Needs Repair
__By BOB RIDDLE_
JT was the same old story again
yesterday—the Webfoots lost
another ball game, but this time
there was not nearly the disgrace
there has been in the past, the
score being 3 to 0. Ken Scales
ran into another dose of tough
luck, holding the Huskies to nine
bingles, but his teammates could
not connect with the offerings of
Lamar Gaw, who held the Ducks
to five widely scattered hits.
Just a word about this lad Gaw.
He's a brother of Wilson Gaw, the
Seattle outfielder, wno, in his first
professional game, socked a ter
rific home run in his first time at
bat. Leroy also has an ambition
to become a professional pitcher,
and from the way he chucked in
yesterday’s encounter he hasn’t
far to go. Coach “Tubby” Graves,
Washington mentor, always uses
Gaw on cloudy, downcast days. He
has a real fast ball, but not quite
as fast as “Specs” Putnam, who
twirled his team to victory in
Monday’s game.
The most spectacular play of the
game was pulled off in the fourth

inning by Captain Johnny Londahl,
who was back at his old post at
second base, and played a whale
of a game. "Red” Hutchinson,
Husky third sacker, was at bat
as first man of the inning. He
connected with one of Ken Scales’
twisters and the ball went hum
ming between first and second
Londahl ran like a deer, scooped
the ball up while lying on his side,
and fired it over to Lee Chester
at first for a perfect assist.
* * #
One of the brightest lights of
the visiting Huskies was none
other than “Tubby” Graves, jovial
coach of the Washington outfit.
He's almost as colorful as “Buck”
Bailey, leader of the Washington
State college ball club. Very sel
dom does he dispute decisions
given by the umpires or crab his
players. They say that he and
"Buck” together are quite a card.
In the past series between the two
teams in Seattle these two fore
most believers of baseball “hoo
doos” had the fans in an uproar
most of the time. “Tubby” said
at the close of yesterday's contest
that his boys played their best
ball of the season in defeating
Scales.
* * *
So long as there is but one more
home game this season, that with
Oregon State at the conclusion of
the coming quad trip, it seems fit
to voice thti popular opinion of
scores of baseball fans. First of
all, it seems altogether necessary
that Reinhart field be "over
haulded” so that better baseball
may result next year. The outfield
in particular should be fixed. Nu
merous ground balls that get
through the infielders make the
boys in the “pastures” look like
dubs when the ball takes an un
expected hop over their heads for
extra base hits.
In closing, let a word be added
for Kermit Stevens, Duck . short
stop, whose all-around playing has
been such a. disappointment this
season. Stevens, it is pointed out,
is a regular left-handed hitter, and
for the past three games has been
hitting from the starboard side.
This has caused his hitting slump,
and when a ball player isn't hit
ting he generally falls short in his
fielding also. That, so far as can
be ascertained, is the whole mat
ter in a nutshell. Stevens is a
hard worker and a great ball
player when he's right and it's too
bad such a thing had to happen,
but in the coming road trip Kermie
should find himself and when he
does the whole team will undoubt
edly click.

Present to the students and

classmate,
Frederick Steiwer
as a candidate lor the Republican nomination to succeed
himself in the United States Senate from Oregon.
In 19 Hi we affirmed his fine eharacter and abilities for that
high office and urged the voters of the state to give him con
sideration He was elected. As Senator during the worst,
period of depression in the history of America, when it has been
difficult to find a clear road hack to prosperity, Senator Steiwer
has labored unceasingly.
it is particularly gratifying to us that at this time, when
his first term is expiring, not a single reproachful utterance
against him has been heard.
On the contrary his services to Oregon lumbermen, farmers,
bulb growers, dairymen, stockmen, manufacturers, fisheries and
the large number of war veterans iri this state, have won praise
and respect.
