The
Tip-Off
By BILL PHIPPS
A Weekend of Sports
Highlights; Geo. Daley
On Venzke's Running
T AST weekend was one with
many and varied high lights
in the realm of sport:
1. Tn the northern division of
the coast loop Hec Edmundson’s
high-riding Washington Huskies
nowed down Lhe second-place Bea
vers from Oregon State to clinch
the title and represent the Pacific
Northwest in the playoff for the
coast championship.
2. The lowly Uclan Bruins
knocked “Nibs” Price’s University
of California hoop machine from
the top spot in the southern race
into a tie with El Trojan of U. S.
C. At present it looks as though
the Bears and Sam Barry’s men
may have a playoff of their own
before a California champion can
be selected to fight Washington
for the supremacy of the Pacific
slope.
3. The Oregon swimming squad
under the tutelage of Mike Hoy
man left Oregon State in the wake
of a lop-sided score to take the
dual meet handily and establish
themselves as one of the strongest
groups of natators on the coast.
4. The frosh near the finish of
a successful basketball season
with a bad taste lingering in their
mouths. They dropped the final
tilt with the rooks to wind up the
four game series at two apiece.
After many a brilliant perform
ance and some not so sparkling but
always sufficient to win, Gene
Shields’ tempermental ducklings
missed their stride in the final
series.
5. Another Carnegie foundation
report was officially released to
the press. This time Dr. Henry
S. Pritchett, president-emeritus of
the Carnegie Foundation, adds his
little bit to the same old story
about commercialism, subsidizing
and proselyting of athletics.
(Things of this sort invariably re
call unpleasant memories of a sin
gular gentleman—one Jonathan A.
Butler.)
G. Bill Bronthron, Princeton’s
ace track star who has run the
mile faster than any other Ameri
can, beat Glenn Cunningham, Kan
sas flyer, to win the historic Bax
ter mile in the top spot of the
annual N. Y. A. C. indoor carnival.
As a result Bill wins the title of
“America’s greatest miler.” Gene
Venzke, Pennsylvania sophomore
who holds the indoor record of
4:10, finished third. Bonthron’s
winning time was some four sec
onds slower than the above time
established by Venzke in 1932.
* * *
Speaking of Venzke — Let
George Daley, sports columnist of
the New York Herald-Tribune tell
you why he picked Cunningham to
trim Venzke in the Baxter mile.
Bonthron was not included in the
comparison as he had never
raced against either of the other
two cinder artists.
In my judgment the slower
the pace the less chance Venzke
has of beating Cunningham, be
cause the latter has the fast pick
up of a quarter-miler and stronger
sprinting power.
"Lawson Robertson, who has de
veloped and trained Venzke, holds
the view that a really great miler
must be able to run a quarter -19
seconds. One must have that
speed as well as stamina.
1 have been told Venzke once
ran a quarter of a mile in 51 sec
onds in a relay race his fastest
race. The two seconds difference
in the quarter-mile speed of
Venzke and Cunningham is just
about the difference of ten to
twelve yards between them at the
mile.
"While not in accord with those
who insist that Venzke’s day as
a miler is past, it is my conviction
that, everything else being equal
Cunningham will always beat him
because of that difference of two
seconds in quarter-mile speed. It
has taken some time for that con
viction to form, as, frankly, I have
been one of Venzke's wildest
rooters.
"Returning to the question of
strategy, let those who are queru

Reinhart Calls
Men for First
Baseball Drill
Season’s Prospects Are
Pest in Years
Seven T,ettermen Return From
1933 Nine; Hoag Signs
With Cortland
First practice for the 1934 edi
tion of the University of Oregon
baseball squad are scheduled to
open next Tuesday afternoon at
McArthur court. Bill Reinhart,
veteran Webfoot coach, plans to
stage the opening workouts of the
season inside the Igloo, where a
sawdust sliding pit has been con
structed. Emphasis will be placed
on fundamentals the first few ses
sions.
Prospects for a bright season
are the best in years despite the
loss of two star performers and
three members of the 1933 team.
Chuck Hoag, catcher and captain
elect, and Joe Garretson, sopho
more first baseman, both have
signed for tryouts with the Port
land Beavers.
Three Missing
Those missing from last year's
nine are Bob Chatterton, who has
finished his years of eligibility;
Stan Kostka, an outfielder who
has transferred; and Cece Inman,
who pitched last year but does not
plan to return to school.
Pitchers are plentiful among
the seven returning lettermen
with Ron Gemmell, Ossie Ed
wards, and Ike Donin ready for
action. Wes Clausen is the only
outfielder returning, but infield
ers include Mickey Vail, Ernie
Garbarino, and Harry McCall.
ivcsri vrs nurii
Homer Goulet, catcher, and Bud
VanDine, outfielder, are two of
last year's reserves to return.
From the 1933 frosh nine Joe Gor
don and Mark DeLauney, infield
ers, Fred Lieuallen, outfielder, and
Bunny Butler, catcher, will be on
hand.
Newcomers on the campus via
the transfer route are expected to
furnish the veterans lively compe
tition for first string- berths.
Treadway Charles, pitcher, and
Ray Koch, third baseman, are both
from Monmouth normal, and have
been prominent in state league
ball. Two likely outfield pros
pects are Maury Van Vliet and
Andy Car-sens.
Catching Worries Coach
The chief worry of Reinhart
seems to be to find some one to
replace Hoag behind the plate.
Gordon and Goulet, along with
Con Fury, Webfoot grid star, are
booked as the most promising ma
terial.
A regular schedule will be played
this spring in competition with
otiier northern division teams, in
cluding Washington, Oregon State,
Washington State, and Idaho.
lous concerning Venzke’s running
tactics remember that Lawson
Robertson knows every trick of
the trade and is one of the smart
est of all trainers. It is a sure
thing that he has not overlooked
a thing which might help Venzke
beat his rival.
“It happens that Cunningham
has beaten Venzke six out of seven
times. That seems to be reason
ably conclusive. Three times tac
tics were changed. Venzke first
tried a fast first half in 2:03, hop
ing to run Cunningham off his
feet, but the latter stuck to the
pace and won with a bold sprint
at the finish.
“Another time he tried a slow
first half and a fast second half
in 2:03, and again Cunningham
won, loafing with him and then
meeting speed with speed.
“Robertson then decided to have
Venzke try a fast middle half in
tin1 hope of outsmarting Cunning
ham. but the result was the same.
“Venzke has been one of the
most consistent of ail our milers,
but it just happens that he has
found his master in the flyer from
Kansas.”

Warden Has Enviable Record
Lee K. Atkinson, state anil federal game warden at Maxwell, Col

game protector during the past season. The seven automatic shotguns
seized from market duck hunters are equipped so that law breakers

Coeds Invited to Attend ‘‘O’
Smoker; 'Pigging9 in Style
Women are not only invited to
attend the varsity “O” smoker Fri
day night, they are urged to come
turn enjoy 11 rj
fun, said Howard
Kemper, publici
ty chairman for
the affair, yes
terday.
Last year the
smoker was at
tended by almost
as many coeds as
men, and judging
from the reports
the fight was en
joyed as much by
Kuss Aclicson
by the male. Contrary to feminine
predictions the smoker did not re
semble a bloody battlefield. The
gills enjoyed the matches as much
as anyone and booed lustily at
some of the decisions.
The smoker officials announced
that “pigging" would be in order
Friday night.
“Some doubt has been voiced
among the students as to whether
or not the Oregon Staters would
show up this year," said Kemper.
“The agreement is a bonded con
tract just as a football contest is
and the Staters will be here Fri
day,” he said.
A change in the 135-pound di
vision has been made. Dave Per
kins will fight Max Donnely. Dave
is a Portland boy. Elton Owens is
definitely scheduled to wrestle.
The only event not lined up is the
heavyweight wrestling match. This
will be announced Thursday.
The smoker starts at 7:30. A
charge of 25 cents admission will
be made and no seats will be re
served.

A letter was also received from
C. B. Lister, secretary of the Na
tional Rifle association, and from
Ed McGivern of Lewiston, Mon
tana, whose letterhead carries the
slogan, “supreme sensational
shopting.” Mr. McGivern is writ
ing a book on trick rifle shooting
and has asked Dr. Seashore to
write a forword for it.
Research Outstanding
Information is also desired by
the Braintree Rifle and Pistol
club of South Braintree, Mass.
Dr. Seashore has done outstand
ing research in the field of muscu
lar cordination. Apparatus which
he has designed is now in use in
many institutions. Adams was a
graduate assistant in the depart
ment last year and already has
done considerable research work
of note.
Information on the project of
testing riflemen for steadiness was
deemed of sufficient importance
by both Associated Press and Sci
ence Service, national news agen
cies,' to send out several hundred
words by telegraph to the hundreds
of newspapers which they serve. It
was these reports which brought
the project to the attention of the
