I baseball booster” shall be the new ti tle for Belden Babb, former Web foot athlete and now a prominent Eugene hardware dealer. Belden merits the title as he was the first (ard only) person to follow up the suggestion in yesterday’s column that prizes bo awarded to out standing baseball players. To the leading hitler of the Oregon var sity this spring the Babb hardware store will present either a couple of bats or a new glove. * # * That’s one trophy. Now if some other enterprising merchant or fan will step forth with another the most valuable player or the best fielder can get something for his efforts. Bill Reinhart is to be the sole judge of the contest as far as the Babb prize goes. The don ors can make their own provisions. * * + In line with all the hoo-rahs about baseball and the need for a little backing Hugh Rosson, grad uate manager, announced that there will be no admission charge for townspeople this year. He al so informed me that the new Rein hart field will not be used until late in the season, and perhaps not at nil this year. The reason is lack of sufficient time for the sod to round into first, class shape. * » * With sill the hullsiltuloo about beer and wines it is only natural that someone would bring up the subject of beer and the athletic training diet. Is beer a detriment or a help to the athlete ? I asked Bill Hayward and Prink Callison yesterday and they both said about the same thing. There is no par ticular need of adding a quart of brew to the training table menu as the old-time coaches often did. “We’ve got plenty of good food fresh from the farms around here,” Prink grinned, "and there isn’t any need of using beer as a body-build er for college athletes.” * # * Colonel Hill had some Interest ing comment on the use of beer before prohibition went into ef fect. It was a common practice, hr observed, to add a quart of ale (which is a bit stronger than 3.2 ”t) to the diet of athletes \ .10 had gone stale from over training or who were run down physically. Not only did the ath letes get it at the training table but many teams provided a bottle for each of the tired and thirsty players when they finished a game. * * * Five years ago when Bill went to Europe as a co-trainer and coach for the United Stales Olympic team ale was used by many of the athletes. “The coaches didn't go so far as to bring the ale around to the boys,” Bill said, “but they did pass out gentle hints that a very limited quantity might be downed with good results." As far as I can remember it lias never been used at Oregon, at least as a part of t lie official training table diet." • * • One of tin* favorite pastimes of this writer is scanning the humor columns of the various college pa pers received at the Emerald of fice. Ever so often a clever turn gets as far as being typed out for print in this column, but after thinking it over, it is usually left out. After all, this is supposed to be a sport gossip column. But here’s one from the Wash ington Daily that's pretty good. It deal • with a statement of a Chica go university professor who is at t sapling to make geometry a pop ular and interesting subject by ap plying theorems to football The Daily columnists pen the following ideas as to what might result: “The shortest distance between two goal posts is not usually a very sure way of getting there."

As the entry blanks are closed to those who have not been working out regularly, few more entrants arc expected to appear, and the lists as they stand now are approximately as they will be when the cindermen line up the day after tomorrow. Twelve men have been placed at scratch in the several cut-distance events, and will be forced to start behind the bulk of the field at the gun. In the field events more ex perienced contestants will “spot” distance to the newcomers. Hopson Is Threat Paul Starr, Walter Hopson, and Art Holman will be the scratch runners in the 75 and 150-yard dashes. Holman will run in only the latter event. Hopson, a col ored freshman sensation from the south, has broken the 10-second mark in the 100-yard distance, and may press Starr for victory in both of these races. In the 300-yard event, Johnny Mans will give 5 yards to Sher wood Burr, the nearest man to him in a field of eight quarter milens. Art Holman and Chuck "Fuzzy” Dolloff will start at scratch in the 660-yard run 10 yards behind Harold Myers from last year’s frosh team. In the three-quarter mile event, Bob Hunter will be forced to go to his marks just 10 yards behind Bob Wagner, sophomore distance ace. No handicaps will be used in the hurdle events because of the tim ing needed by the runners in tak ing the barriers in even stride. Neither will advantages be given in the pole vault, where the only two contestants, Mason McCoy and Bob Parke, are evenly match ed. Gee to Hurl Spear Leighton Gee, football luminary, will throw on even terms with Warren Demaris in the javelin throw. Gee has been working out all spring, and although he has not handled the spear in compe tition for two years, he will give the powerful armed "Rimrock” some strong competition. Bill rainier will pull the "iron man” stunt again Saturday when in addition to running the high hurdles and taking a 10-yard gift from Demarls and Gee in the javelin throw, he will compete at scratch in botli the broad jump and the high jump. In the broad jump he is paired evenly with Bob Parke, while in the high jump event he starts even with Fred Nowland, long-legged sophomore hurdler. Gardner Frye, husky sophomore gridster, must give ground to the rest of the field in the weight events. In the shot put, he will be placed at a 2-inch disadvantage against At Hakunson, and in the discus throw, he must toss the platter 10 feet further than "Dutch” Clark, letternian last year. A complete list of entrants and handicaps will appear in the Emer ald Saturday morning. if placed alone on the opponent's score board, is a great thing. ”3.1-1 to is pi (for the opponents). It's the signal for an end run, and they know it. "A point between two parallel lines is in a dangerous position. "The coach's salary equals twice the square of the fullback's."

By BOB AVISON The first casualty of the soft ball season was recorded yesterday in the Sigma Nu-S. A. E. battle, which ended in a 12-to-ti decision for the S. A. E. nine. A bat flew from the hands of a Sigma Nn player and struck Gene Mashcic flush on the chin. Mashek went down, came up at the count of nine a bit groggy but otherwise feeling allright. This contest was also featured by a fancy exhibi tion of bat splintering by the rather large Bill Byrne. Byrne broke fully a’lialf dozen bats dur ing tlie course of the afternoon. Don Eva pitched a fine game for the winners. Omega hail combined a flock of timely base hits with numerous errors on the part of the Delta Tau Delta team and won an easy 12 to (5 victory. Ed Wheelock, a long, lanky youth, steamed the ball past the Delts and the only appreciable blow made off him was a three-base hit down the first base line. ATO's Down Ilall Nine Alpha Tau Omega slapped out a one-sided victory over Friendly hall, 10 to 3. Howie Patterson hurled a masterful game, allowing the campus boys only two safe blows and lost a shutout due to errors. Emery Welsh proved to be the batting star of this game by collecting four out of five. Kappa Sigma swamped Theta Chi, 14 to 5, in a heavy hitting af fair. Howard Bobbit and Ted Giesecke formed the battery for the mill race boys. Walt Wicks got a hold of several balls and lofted them far over the fielders’ heads for extra base knocks, but his punch was not enough. The Yeomen came out victorious over S. 1’. E., 7 to 1. in the tight est contest of tiie afternoon. Schneider pitched a fine game and had the SPE's guessing most of the time. Rube Lokiteh, indepen dent shortstop, came up with sev eral sensational plays to halt be lated rallies on the part of the S. 1’. E. boys. Sigma Pi Tau defeated Chi Psi 13 to 3. Vonderheit and Walsinger formed the batteries for the S. P. T. nine, while Travis, Jewitt, and Birkstonger made up the Chi Psi battery. In the other two regulation con tests, Beta Theta Pi won from Phi Sigma.Kappa by default, and the Sigma hall-Figi encounter was postponed until Saturday. Dr. Leighton To Broadcast Grid History Tonight | tO YOU know when the first ” football game was played? Do you know how many all Americans Oregon had ? Do you know how many all-American coaches Oregon had? Do you know that Stanford and Cali fornia played rugby for 10 years while the rest of the United States played football7 All this and many other in teresting facts will be answer ed by Dr. Ralph Leighton, ex ecutive secretary of research at the University of Oregon, in an interview tonight by Sam Wilderman, University pub licity man, over KORE, start ing at 6:15 o’clock. The inter view will be a feature of the regular semi - weekly sports broadcast conducted by Wilder man for KORE. Dr. Leighton was scout for Captain John J. McEwan, when lie was coach here, and before that was line coach under Anse Cornell, ex-Oregon captain and all-coast quarterback, at the College of Idaho. Dr. Leighton follows all athletics closely and has a vast store of football knowledge. Cougars To Have Point Winners In Hurdle Races Sparks, Kelley, Klawitter Shine in High anil Low Barrier Event WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, April 5 Wash ington State will bid for many points in hurdle races this spring during northern division competi tion. Three fast-stepping timber toppers, Carville Sparks, Ronald Kellew, and Charles Klawitter, form a potent point-getting trio. Sparks, co-captain, shines at high hurdling. He won his way to the finals of the Olympic team tryouts and distinguished himself as one of the foremost hurdlers of the country. His best times were 14.9 seconds in the 120-yard highs and 14.6 in the 100-meter high hurdles. He is also a cap able low hurdler. Kelley is coming along strong this season during field house work. In the last trials he nosed out Sparks in the low hurdlers. Klawitter is running close to the other two. Both Kelley and Kla witter are ends on the Cougar football team. Department of History Vsltis ('lass on Russia A course in “Recent Russia” has recently been added to the curri culum of the history department. The course, which h i 1 its inaugur ation this term, is taught by Pro fessor Harold Noble. The world has been grossly in terested in the greatest experi ment that is being carried on in Russia at the present time. Evi dence of student interest is mani fested in the large enrollment of approximately 75 students. The course will feature the acti vities in Russia during the last decade with the early history briefly studied as a foundation. i Callison Puts His i Jiarges Through Torrid Practice Former Freshman Stars Showing Heal Ability in First of Spring Workouts Sweltering under the rays of the hottest day so far recorded this spring, football candidates last i Kulph Torjoson night went through a more or less routine' practice session. Starting off the evening with the usu^l limbering up exercise, the final half of the practice saw two lines working against each other in an ef fort to solve the problem of learning assignments. Coach Callison has been busy trying to find out just what ma terial he is going to have next fall to take the places of Bill Mor gan, Bill Bowerman, Orville Bailey, and Oliver Pope, who are all graduating thia June, and so far he has uncovered several fine prospects. Dwight Nielson, Bill Lundin, Frank Michek, and Hugh McCre die, all of last fall’s freshman ag gregation, have shown much pro mise in the last three sessions,1 the first two named being especi ally outstanding in the line, while Michek and McCredie have been showing well in the backfield. In I spite of all the effort shown by l these yearlings, however, the “old ! guard”—represented by Capt. Ber | nie Hughes, Bud Pozzo, and Ralph | (Swede) Terjeson has been hold I ing its own. Practice tonight will be a repeti tion of last night’s, with a little real scrimmage thrown in for good measure. -—— \lumni Magazine Published Again The first issue of Old Oregon, \ the monthly alumni magazine, I since Slay 1932, was published j last month.

NOW PLAYING £ FIRST and ONLY RUN in City Special Prices— All Seats, ( *OC Distin guished German Film of Subtle Emotions (English Titles) j Hlaedchen Frosh Players Answer Coach Londahl’s Call Frosh Baseball Men Show Ability in Workouts Infield Strongest Department With Outfield and Hurling Posts Unknown Quantities By BOB RIDDLE Newly-appointed freshman base bail coach, John Londahl, is faced v/ith quite a job of molding a representative nine from the twenty-some aspirants who have been working out for the past two weeks under his tutelage. Fun damentals have taken up the ma jority of the time thus far, with a brief infield drill and a bit of batting practice rounding out the day’s program. Because of the past weather con ditions which made the playing field too muddy to practice on, most of the work has been going on inside the portals of the Igloo. Lately, however, batting drill has been carried on outside, on the dirt field south of the regular diamond, where sofne potential hitters have been uncovered. The department that pleases Coach Londahl the most is the in field. A great array of material hah turned up for the four posi tions. Four men, one in each de partment, seem head and shoulders above the rest. At first base Marv Stroble is just about the only seeker of the job. He may be switched to the catching post, however, to bolster that position. Mark Delaney is holding forth at second so far, but is being pressed hard by Tom Handley and Guy Taylor. Gordon Set at Short The short-stop berth is just about a cinch with Joe Gordon, winner of the American Legion award last year for the best all around player in the tournament, prancing around in grand style. Fred Lieuallen is giving Gordon a great run for his money and will doubtlessly see much service dur ing the season. At third base there are two out standing boys battling it out for a regular position. Drew “Red” Copp, a fiery-haired youth with a fine throwing arm and great field ing strength, is the potential choice, but Eddie Vail is giving him quite a race for the honor. Hitting strength should be the de ciding factor in this race for a position. George Nash is pressing Copp and Vail hard for the job at the hot corner. Outfield Jobs Open Outfield contestants are an un known quantity at this writing, with more than a dozen aspirants for the garden jobs. Just as soon as the playing field is put to use the material will be looked over. There are three aspirants for the job behind the bat. Bill Goff, a short, husky fellow with plenty of fight, looks about the best. Two other players are giving him a run for the catching job, however. Harry Butler, ex-Grant high school luminary, is showing batting form and may get the call. Ray Wood ward is also plenty in the running and shows plenty of stuff behind the bat. Quite a group of hurlers have answered the call, but there has been little pitching practice so far. Probably the foremost chuck er on the list, according to ad vance notice, is Bruno Kolkowsky, ex-all-star pitcher for Jefferson high of Portland. He is said to have a blinding fast-ball and plenty of hooks. Gus La Barre and Verne Whitaker have also been displaying class while hurl ing in batting practice. There are several other men who have not had a chance to strut their stuff as yet. Londahl's main worry will Lewis Only Player Missing From OSC Hoop Champions OREGON STATE COLLEGE. Corvallis, April 5.— Captain Ed Lewis, lanky Orange center, will be the only letterman missing on the Oregon State basketball squad when it starts play next year. Awards for nine varsity players and 14 freshmen were approved by the board of control recently. Lewis will be sorely missed as he was the outstanding center on the Pacific coast this year and was selected by Les Gage, sports edi tor of College Humor, on that pub lication’s All-American first team. Varsity awards were approved ] for Captain Lewis and Captain elect Skeet O’Connell, both of Portland; Everett Davis, St. Paul, Nebr.; George Hibbard, Molalla; Fred Hill, Pendleton; Jiggs James, Tillamook, Carl Lenchitsky, Scranton, Pa.; Fred MacDonald, Medford, nnd Merle Taylor, Cor vallis.

I A classy group of net artists wearing the colors of the Yeomen administered a bitter defeat to the Alpha Tau Omega tennis team yesterday afternoon. The Yeomen took both doubles in winning the match. Two overtime sets were re corded in the second doubles be fore the fighting A. T. O. team was dropped from further com petition. Delta Tau Delta defeated Friendly hall by a 2-1 count and Sigma Phi Epsilon trimmed Ome ga hall 3-0 in the other two matches. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Nu were ruled out of the tennis tournament due to fail ure to report for their scheduled games. In the two golf games played yesterday, Phi Delta Theta swamped Sigma hall 12-0, and Kappa Sigma-S. P. E. game ended in a 6-to-6 tie. doubtlessly be the hitting of his club. Without adequate batting practice the power of the boys with the bat is not known. Then too, the pitchers are an unknown quantity. Defensively, however, the Webfoot frosh look great in pre-season drill. •f* 'i' ejt rgy ^. rji rj, rfa rj-i rji ej-i cjp <-J-» • I GOLF I i CLUBS I 1 * t ? .
