VOLUME XXXIV Page 4 Nobody’s Business By BRUCE HAMBY ▲ mid the hub-hub and hustle con nected with the Bill Hayward banquet, the Oregon-Oregon State track meet, and the state inter scholastic championship one very important story has almost been overlooked. For one of the most interesting figures of the univer sity’s athletic system will soon de part from Eugene. But let Joe Pigney of the Klamath Falls News tell about this sorrowful event. Joe knows the man in question far bet ter than I do. *!* * Ms “The press of Eugene and Port land.liave been publishing highly interesting stories and pictures describing the colorful life of a col orful track coach, William L. Hay ward. This activity in the interest of Col. Hayward will honor his third decade of service with Web foot track and football teams, but almost in the midst of this cele bration another delightful figure of the university’s athletic system will depart from Eugene. "This will be Sammy Wilderman — Samuel Herbert Wilderman—the pint-sized publicity director who has been traveling the country for ten years building up enthusiasm for the appearances of Oregon football teams. "Wilderman is destined to leave the university in July to resume an interrupted law practice at Portland. “But fortunately for the press and the university, Wilderman will return to Eugene each autumn to handle the business of promoting Oregon football. « * * “Wilderman, first a newsboy, then a reporter, an attorney and a press agent, has seen and pub licized strange football teams at the University of Oregon. He has accounted for more yardage in a newspaper in one season than Ore gon teams could make on the grid iron in ten. But now he goes back to the legal profession, and Eu gene will be strange without him. * * * “Barn’s patience and patriotism for a school continually shifting its personnel has been remarkable. He served “Shy" Huntington as faithfully as he did Captain John J. McEwan or Dr. Clarence W. Spears. He kept the name of the university's football teams in the headlines even in the mediocre years of Joe Maddock and Dick Smith. He capitalized upon the brilliant and erratic personality of Captain McEwan and made him one of the most quickly recognized sporting figures on the Pacific j coast. He followed Dr. Spears from game to game, successfully patching a long trail of insulted newspapermen, photographers and officials. In one season he turned Prink Callison into the coaching hope of the northwest and estab lished that young man’s reputa tion as the most capable of wreck ing the almost permanent success of the California teams. "Wilderman was the first real publicity man employed in the Pa cific Coast conference, and when he leaves "his good deeds will live after him.” Classified Ads PETITE SHOP Dressmaking, hemstitching, alterations, etc. 573 East 13th.

Thank You Students For YOUR PATRONAGE I hiring THE YEAR UNIVERSITY TAILOR Walter Zarewski Phone 2641 jWebfoots Seek Revenge On Beaver Trackmen Today. I 1 Oregon Team DopedToWin Annual Meet First Event To Be Called at 2 o’Cloek Starr, Frye, Demaris Are Among Those Picked To, Lend Ducks to Victory All will be in readiness this afternoon at 2 o’clock for the opening number in the greatest track program the University of Oregon has ever presented. At that time Colonel Bill Hayward will send his Webfoot spike squad against Lon Stiner’s Beavers in their annual dual meet, at Hay ward field. A squad of more than twenty Ducks will be on hand to see that today, which marks the thirtieth anniversary of Hayward’s service as head track coach at the Uni versity, will witness another vic tory for the veteran skipper. Dopesters give the Webfoots an overwhelming advantage over their Corvallis opponents, due to the recent stunning defeat the Oregon squad handed the Univer sity of Washington Huskies at Se attle the same Huskies which overwhelmed the Oregon State cindermen only two weeks ago. Especially does Hayward’s squad excel in first place material. In only three events, the broad jump, pole vault, and high hurdles, do the Orangemen stack up better on paper. flturr Doped To Win Captain Paul Starr, Webfoot leader, is conceded easy wins in both of the sprints, with a possi bility that his running mate, Ralph Schomp, may also show his heels to the Beaver speedsters, Franklin and O’Connell. In each of the longer races, the Oregon squad has a favorite. In the 440 yard dash both Johnny Marrs and Sherwood Burr arc doped to finish ahead of stocky Bob Patrick from the Orange camp. Bob Hunter should win handily from Bryant in the mile, while Bob Wagner's 9:44 at Seattle last Saturday makes him a favorite to beat both Nicholson and Gibson, the Oregon State two-mile stars, A battle should result in the high hurdles when lanky Fred Nowland clashes with Mush Dun can, Corvallis star. Nowland won at Seattle last week in 15.1 sec onds, while Duncan showed his heels to the Husky stars. Frost and Bracken, a week earlier to break the tape in the record time of 14.7. Anything can be expected here. Beavers Strong on Field Mason McCoy will match strides with Duncan in the low sticks. McCoy has been running the dis tance in faster time this year, but the Orange star has not yet hit his stride, and is given a good chance for an upset. It is in the field events that the Orangemen base most of their hopes for a dope reversal. Sheet O’Connell, winged - footed broad jumper, leads a classy array of potential blue ribbon winners in Everett Davis, Prahl, and Ander son. The Webfoots again have the edge here, however, and with the exception of the broad jump, are conceded a lion's share of the points, Warren Demaris, who set a new Northwest dual meet rec ord in the javelin throw last week at Seattle, should have little trou ble in beating Davis in the spear contest. Frye Favored Another Webfoot, Gardner Frye, has the edge over Anderson in the weight events. Frye twice conquered England, the Washing ton weight king, while the Oregon State husky lost to England in both the shot put and discus throw. Prahl and Coleman, Oregon State's vaulting team, is doped to outjump Mason McCoy, the Web foots’ best bet with the bamboo. The Ducks even things up here, however, with two favorites, Pal mer and Nowland, in the high jump. The final event on the program, the mile relay, should offer as close a battle as anything on the schedule. Holman, Marrs, Burr , and Dolloff will make up the Webfoot quartet, while Bronson, Franklin, Patrick, and Gleason are slated to run for the Orangemen. Dr. Itela'o To Speak Dr. George Rebec, dean of the graduate school and head of the philosophy department, will giv the commencement address at Gardnei high school May 25.

Webfoots To ! Meet Beaver Nine At 4:00 Ron Gemniell Is Scheduled To Start Game Return Contest Slated With OSC at Corvallis Tomorrow; Same Lineup Announced by Coach As an added event to a great athletic week-end, Bill Reinhart and his varsity baseball nine will cross bats with the Oregon State Beavers this afternoon at 4 o’clock, in the first of a series of six con tests with the Orangemen. The game has been set at such a late hour to give the fans a chance to view both the track meet and base ball game. Oregon's ace pitcher, Ron Gem mell, will probably take the mound for the Webfoots this afternoon in his third start of the season. Gem mell, a transfer from LaGrande normal school, has proven of great value to the Duck team. In his first start against Columbia uni versity three weeks ago, Ron held the Cliffdwellers to six scattered hits and won 6 to 1. A week ago the submarine-ball pitcher toyed with the Linfield Wildcats for nine innings, winning his second straight start 12 to 6. Ducks in Shape The Oregon baseballers have had little opportunity to practice lately, but are all in fine physical condition. Should Gemmel’s deliv eries prove too much to the liking of the Orangemen, Reinhart has any number of likely looking re placements to call on. Ike Donin and Ed Charles, both lettermen from last season, have not hurled since the first Columbia tilt. Do nin will likely get the call tomor row when the two teams meet in a return conflict at Corvallis. The starting lineup is fairly well settled, according to Reinhart, with the same lineup used in the last three games. Lee Chester has the first base job hands down. “Chip” Chatterton will hold forth at second, and Freddy Sears will cover the shortstop position. Sears has been fielding in great style of late, and his hitting has been phe nomenal. Ernie Garbarino, a~ third, is still holding his position, but his fielding has been some what ragged in the last two con tests. Garbarino is playing his first season on the varsity, how ever, and has not quite found h>s bearings. Shaneman Hits ’Em The outfield will be composed of the same trio that showed up so well in late contests. Capt. “Duke' Shaneman, after playing behind the bat for two years has been moved to the right field post, and looks good. “Duke" is hitting in much improved fashion over last year. Wes Clausen is perfectly at. home in center field, although cov ering second last year on the year* ling nine. His batting punch has been a great help in .the past Web foot victories. The left field job has recently been given to Mickey Vail. Vail turned out originally for the in field, but a great throwing arm prompted Reinhart to shift him to the outfield. Vail has not com menced to hit the ball in his old time form, but as lead-off man in the batting order he is touching the bags in regular fashion.

Frosh, Rooks To Have Another Try At Baseball Game Londalil To Take 17 Players to Corvallis; Lisallyn in Lineup This afternoon another attempt will be made to get the frosh and rooks together in a ball game at Corvallis. Johnny Londahl will take a squad of 17 players to Cor vallis with him this afternoon, providing that the weather doesn’t interfere. The frosh team has been greatly strengthened in the last couple of weeks in both the infield and out field. Eddie Vail has at last found his niche in the infield on third, replacing Red Copp, who has tem porarily dropped from the squad. In the outfield, Londahl will again have little Fred Lieuallyn chasing flies. He has been out with a bruised heel, but he is absolutely recovered, and will be back with his big bat. The team will leave here at 12:30. The game is scheduled for 4 o'clock. Those taking the trip are: Thuneman, Holland, Kolkow ski, Whittlaker, and Bucknum, pitchers; Butler and Goff, catch ers; Stroble, DeLaunay, Gordon, Vail, and Taylor, infielders; and Hanley, Johnson, Lieuallyn, and Nash, outfielders. Bill Thomas, promising pitcher on the staff of the Indianapolis In dians, conditioned himself for the season by shoveling dirt at $1.50 a day at the Tribe’s stadium. Bruins Ready & For 1933 Grid War On Coast U.C.L.A. Eleven Stronger Than in 1932 Team Which Beat Oregon in Lust Hi Seconds Points for Banner Season LOS ANGELES, Cal., May IS.— (Special)—Spring- football at U. C. L. A. points to a heavier, strong er, and faster Bruin team for 1933. It may not at tain the success which was won by last year's ma chine, because there are no “breathers” o n the Westwood schedule but Coach Spaulding is certain that it will be harder to defeat or hold Bill Spaulding back. Twenty-four returning letter men supplement the recruits for the vacant varsity berths left open by the graduation of three veter ans of the starting lineup during the recent 1932 campaign. Among the candidates for the vacancies are listed several promising fresh men, and many transfers ineligi ble last fall. Headed by Captain Lee Coats, prominently mentioned for the All Coast center berth, at the pivot position the line appears to be stronger than ever before. Flank ing Coats in the guard spots ar« four lettermen, including Fred “Spec” Haslam, two year veteran, Verdi Boyer, Ed Austin, and “Teelc” Baldwin. Boyer and Has lam should get the call for the starting whistle. In the backfield the largest problem is shuffling the many can didates into the most effective combinations, and present indica tions point to Mike Frankovich, quarter; Chuck Cheshire, left half back; Ransom “Pants” Livesay, | right halfback; with Joe Keeble at j fullback. Each of these men will encounter sufficient competition to make them hustle to keep theiv berths. Spaulding is quite pleased with the progress to date and an ticipates fair success, but is in clined to be dubious of equalling his 1932 record due to the strenu ous schedule.
