[ — By BRUCE HAMBY AS A means for boosting Oregon athletics, I cannot think of anything that would do so much as the adoption of “Steve” Smith's plan for reviving seven minor Sports. His plan is so simple and s s?o inexpensive that I don’t see how it can be turned down. Two ! hundred dollars is a small sum when more than 225 students will directly benefit from participation, not to mention the enjoyment double that many will get from attendance at the various meets. Several years ago Oregon had one of the finest swimming teams on the coast. Only three years back Oregon won the coast inter collegiate golf championship by defeating a host of star golfers from Stanford. The Webfoot school has always presented fine tennis teams, and this year is no excep tion. * * * The seven sports included under the heading of “minor sports” are ones which can be followed after college days are over. Tennis, golf and swimming are considered as much as social attributes in later life as football and baseball are in college. For the past two years since I the dropping of minor sports by the A. S. U. O., tennis devotees have formed unofficial teams each spring. Fencers have done the same thing. Last year Webfoot wrestlers staged a meet with a group of University of Washing ton grapplers in an unofficial in terschool meet. Golf has almost I disappeared from the campus sport world, but there are plenty of good players on the campus and it would require little searching to round up a first class team to represent the school. ♦ * * Someone has suggested that perhaps the Order of the “O” might aid in the reviving of these sports. Now it wouldn’t be fair to ask the rapidly progressing athletes to part with any of the money raised by their recent smoker, but surely they could figure out some way of raising a sum to be used as the foundation for a minor sport fund. * * * Checking over the list of basket ball men eligible for varsity com petition next year I find the name j of LaGrande “ Shoot - ’em - in ” Houghton was left of the roster printed in this column earlier in i the week. Our most sincere apologies, Houghton. May you be as successful in basketball next year as you were in your social whirl at Seattle last term. * * * While on the subject of basket ! ball, here’s some interesting news for Oregon hoop followers. Wash ington State loses Huntly Gordon, six foot six inch all-coast center ■ this year, but coming up they have an even taller giant. His j name is Bob Houston and he : measures 6 feet 7 inches. He weighs a mere 225 pounds and is sure to be in at the center post next wimer. Members of the Ore gon hoop team who saw him last semester while in Pullman say he 13 probably taller than the Wash ington State officials report. Six feet 8 inches is closer, they re port. Hayward to Pick Evans for Meet With Beaver Trackmen Relay Trials Tp Test Spike Stars Today All Track Events But Two Hurdle Races Set Nowland, Palmer, McCoy, and Dudley Likely To Make Up Shuttle Team BULLETIN! Time trails in all running events, with the exception of the low hurdle race, will he held this afternoon at 3:30, it was announced last night by Bill Hayward, cinder mentor. Times and showings made in the meet this afternoon will aid the vet eran track skipper in his selec tion of relay teams to compete in the annual Oregon-Oregon State relay meet to he held at Corvallis, April 29. (Editor's note: This is the fourth of a series of seven ar ticles on Oregon’s prospects on the track and field this spring.) By MALCOLM BAUER Hurdlers will not be called upon to prove themselves today when Colonel Bill Hayward gives his re Fred Nowland lay cundi dates the once over in competition. The reason for this apparent assur - ety given the barrier artists is that there are no more promising a p p 1 i c a nts in either the low or high hurdle events than are needed for the snuttie relay squau. An exmomon shuttle relay event will be run, however, anti may have some bear ing on Hayward’s choices. Just four men have been work ing out at the high sticks, and this is the exact number needed to form the shuttle combination. These men, in the order in which they will probably carry the baton, are Mason McCoy, Bill Palmer, Art Dudley, and Fred Nowland. Nowland and McCoy are the fastest of the quartet, both cap able of clocking the 120-yard dis tance in 15 seconds flat. Now land’s long legs give him a slight edge, however, and he wall prob ably fall heir to the anchor posi tion, left open by the graduation of Hubert Allen, three year let terman. McCoy is a letterman from the 1932 squad. Palmer is an all-round athlete who hurdles along with throwing the javelin, broad jumping, and [ high jumping. He ran on last year's shuttle relay squad. Dudley | also competed for the Webfoots in | the high sticks last year. In the low hurdles will be Now j land and Art Holman. Nowland’s j speed makes him a threat in this ; event as well as in the highs, while J Holman was at one time national junior titlist in the 440-yard low ! hurdles. McCoy may also get a I chance to see action in this event ' although the distance might prove too far for him. The frosh outlook in both the I high and low hurdle events is not | bright. No natural ability in eithei race is apparent in any of the yearling prospects now turning out, and Hayward will probably : be forced to make over some ot ! his sprint stars to get competitors here.

Four boxing bouts feature the evening’s program, and refreshments will be served. Two of the bouts will be between I welterweight mitt slingers from | the campus, and the other two will i be between fighters In the middle weight class. Ed Goodnough and Jerry Dens low will trade blows in the cur tain raiser. Both are welter weights. In the second bout of the evening Ben Swanton, runner-up for the campus welterweight championship, will mix with Fred Sears, welterweight wrestling champion of the University. Sears is as good with the gloves as he is on the mat, and this should mean plenty of action. The main event will feature El ton Owen, son of Herb Owen, pop ular local fight promoter, and Bob Nunn, University track star. These boys are both terrific sluggers, and this bout may not go the lim it. Owen has had lots of experi ence putting on the gloves with some of the top notch amateurs of the coast. The semi-windup will see Tom Mountain versus Forrest Kerby, slugger who has a long knockout record in campus fisticuffs. Another match is being ar- j ranged with Don Weed, popular campus fighter, in one corner. His ! opponent has not as yet been chos en, but those in charge promise a good bout. A small nominal charge will be made at the door to help cover necessary expenditures. | _ Books Schedule Four Big Meets _^ OREGON STATE COLLEGE, ! Corvallis, April 20.

Who’s Who —in—• Webfoot Athletics By JACK MILLER Paul Starr saw the first light of the world in Cody, Wyoming, on February 29, 1912. Starr, who will Paul Starr 1 Ul V V uu- umiouui honor of captain ing the Duck cin dermen .again this season is the outstandi n g sprinter in tlie northwest. Paul attended Cody high school where he was an outstanding ath lete, participat ing in football, basketball, and track all through his prep days. In high school the “sprint king of the northwest” cov ered the hundred in 10.1 and the 220 in 21.7, which is quite some time for a prep lad. Paul also cov ered the 440 in 50.9. Since entering college Starr has an enviable record. For the past two years he has showed his heels to the best in the northern division of the conference. He has covered the century in 10 flat and the fur long in 21.4. The Oregon sprint ace won both the 100 and 200 meter Olympic northwest trials at Seattle -last spring in excellent time of 10.5 for the hundred and 22.3 for the 200 meter event, but due to lack of fi nances he could not enter the fi nals at Palo Alto. Starr was also a member of "Prink” Callison’s grid eleven last fall. Although handicapped by lack of weight Paul’s speed and ambition caused him to see ac tion in several conflicts. The Wyoming speedster looks ahead for a victorious season for the local cinder artists. He thinks the Hayward men need strength in the pole vault to make a well balanced team. Starr is a business administra tion major and some day hopes to specialize in foreign trade.

Ducklings Tie Super-Varsity Outfit 6 To 6 Two Runs in Fifth Canto Even Up Came Frosh Tangles With Eugene High Nine Today at 3:30 F. M. Freshmen Heady By JACK CHINNOCK A thrilling last inning rally gave the a frosh a tie-with the varsity subs for the second night in suc cession, 6 to 6. With two out and two runs behind, Stroble reached on an overthrow to first, scoring one man ahead of him. Copp was the next man up, and he came through with a screaming single to score Stroble with the tying run. Five runs in the third inning on six hits gave the varsity subs, what seemed an almost unbeatable lead. The frosh, then, settled down to play real ball, and came through with one run in the third, two in the fourth, and three in the fifth inning. The super-varsity scored first, pushing a run across in the second inning on three hits. A brace of walks and a hit tied the score for the frosh in their half. This afternoon at 3:30, Johnny Londahl’s boys will be matched against Eugene high for the sec ond time this season. In the first game both teams played seven inn ings of air-tight ball to tie, 0-0. The battery for the frosh this af ternoon will probably be either Kolkowski or Holland, pitchers, and Butler or Goff catchers. Score for yesterday’s game: R. H. E.

Advertiser’s Nine Are Winners in Traditional Battle Alpha Delta Sigma defeated the Scabbard and Blade soft ball nine 10 to 5 yesterday afternoon in their annual scuffle. The heavy hitting soldiers took the field first but after the first inning it was evident that the advertisers had the best combination. Joe Stoll and John McCulloch, a pair of soldiers, played for the Alpha Delta Sigma nine and turned in mighty fine perform ances. Besides ringing up three snappy double plays, Stoll and McCulloch swung mean hickories with each man collecting three blows during the game. Mahr Reymers, curly-headed advertising manager, and Harry Schenk also played fine ball for the winners. The battery for the Scabbard and Blade outfit was Bobbit and Harrow. Bobbit pitched a fair game, but errors on the part of his team-mates combined with some timely blows by the adver tisers, meant his downfall. Favier was on the mound for the win ners and displayed a nifty bit of hurling. Harrow was Favier’s bat tery mate. Bull Wright, soldier third-baseman, had a particularly bad afternoon at the hot corner. A return engagement will be played next week and the soldiers will be out to reverse yesterday’s defeat.

Stevens Pulls Pitching Feat f In Practice Tilt ‘Old Man’ Takes Double Role in Ball Game Kerin ie Both Wins and Loses Four Inning Contest, 5 to 3, While Hurling for Both Sides By BOB RIDDLE The Old Man of the Mountain returned to Reinhart field yester day to strut his stuff in the per Hermit Stevens son oi a one-man ball team. Who is this individual, you ask ? He’s none other than Kermie Stevens, once stellar shortstop for the % Webfoots, now turned pitc her. Kermie put on “Iron Man’’ stunt yesterday when he twirled for two representative nines pieaeu from the Duck squad. For four complete innings Ste vens kept the mound without a rest. In fact he was afraid to stop longer than to wind up for fear that million-dollar arm of his would get cold. Screw balls, knuckle balls, spit balls, subma rine balls, baseball, footballs—all were included in his repertoire of trick pitches. Then besides pitch ing for both teams held down an other job, probably the most re sponsible position in a baseball game, that of umpire. But to get down to business. The varsity regulars beat the varsity seconds, 5 to 3. It was a nip and tuck affair, with the first string T showing fine power at bat and afield. Ernie Garbarino, the stel lar shortstop for the freshmen last year, and now covering third base, was the hitting star of the day with a triple, a single, and a sacri fice in three trips to the plate. Wes Clausen, another fine pros ; pect from the frosh nine of last year, also got three hits. The lineups were: Varsity (1) — Shaneman, c; Stevens, p; Chester, lb; Hoag, 2b; Chatterton, ss; Garbarino, 3b; Clausen, If; Van Dine, cf; and Mc Kelligon, rf. Varsity! 2)— Whittaker, c; Ste vens, p; Wishard, lb; Elliot, 2b; Sears, ss; Richardson, 3b; Hill If; Green, cf; Beard, rf. Captain “Duke” Shaneman put on a classy exhibition of base-run ning for the entertainment of the fans. When interviewed after the game as to the future of Pitcher Stevens, the great Oregon catcher and leader said: “I’ve caught a lot of ace pitchers in my time, but Stevens is in a class by himself. Why I couldn’t even solve that “wrinkle ball” of his. You may tell the reading public that I look to i ward a great future for Kermie.” Punched Through in White Kid $5.00 This Smart Pump Is Merely One of Many Timely Styles in Graham s Exhibition of Springtime Footwear 828 828
