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.

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.

Hut at 7:30
For all lovers of action and the
ancient art of self defense, the
Yeomen, organization of indepen
dent men on the campus, will I
sponsor a smoker at the “Y” hut
at 7:30 tonight. 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.

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.

Frosh Tangles With Eugene High

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:

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

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.”
