VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1934 Page 4 The Tip-Off By BTLL PHIPPS Loughran Comes Back For More; ‘Da Preem’ To Fight Maxic Baer It would seem that tommy Loughran after 17 years of active service in the prize ring just won’t say goodbye to the resined square of canvas, even after his recent drubbing at the hands of Primo Camera in Miami. Rumor has it that Tommy has amassed all the money he will need for the rest of his days, but still his vanity and confidence remain to be satis fied in the heavyweight division. His role as challenger for the world’s title in the bout with ‘‘da Preem” was his second chance to crash into the big dough since he graduated from the light-heavy class with the championship crown on his head. His other opportunity was against Jack Sharkey, who knocked Tommy into the dream land. Later, however, Tommy angled until he secured a return bout with Sharkey and that time he beat the Boston gob. Now the Philadelphia veteran indicates he will adopt the same procedure again. His latest move was his acceptance through his manager, Joe Smith, to meet Wal ter Neusel in Madison Square Gar den on April 27. This is offered as practically conclusive evidence that Tommy intends to begin with Neusel, the German youth who not so long ago came through with a questionable decision over King Levinsky, and attempted to wade through the ranks of the competi tion until he can again get a crack at the abnormal Italian. # While on the subject of the fight game—ring chatter in Florida has faded to something less than the whisper of an avocado tree on a calm evening. With the unsavory taste of the Carnera-Lioughran de bacle still lingering in their mouths, Floridans refuse to be come the least bit excited over the announcement that Max Baer is to meet Mussolini's mammoth in June. Loughran, if he cyd nothing else, smashed the myth that Primo was a man-killing monster. Tommy, in bursting the Camera bubble, stripped the big fellow of most of his glamour, leaving him a huge structure of bone and muscle who is hard to beat, but who also lacks the aggressiveness to beat his op ponent decisively. Unless Camera can harness his tremendous power plant and divert it to destructive uses, he will con tinue to be a man who is too big to whip, and there is no glamour about that. His only chance to reawaken interest is to plaster the big California movie fighter thor oughly and finish by flattening him to the canvas. Primo may do just that. He has fought twice since last sum mer while Maxie has been flitting about between Hollywood studios and the Broadway vaudeville and night club spots. He is now, ac cording to the critics. Max’s su perior at boxing. This conclusion followed his outboxing Loughran, who presents a smaller target than Baer and is one of the craft iest boxers in the ring. Max is left with a double job to beat Primo, and before that, to regain his condition and skill which have been sadly neglected while he idled as a playboy. Baer might take a tip or ask Max Schmeling what happens to fight ers who enter the ring once a year and spend the Intervening 12 months frolicking and gallvanting as they cltuch a candle which is burning at both ends.

Cougar Ball Club to Present Strong Lineup This Season 1 Strong Pitching Staff Is Prospect (Editor's noth: This is the first of a series of articles by Bill Aetseel, Emerald sports writer, com paring the serength of baseball teams in the North west division of the Pacific ('oast conference.) By BILL AETZEL With a mound staff of five vet erans and half a dozen capable rookies ready for duty this spring, Coach Buck Bailey, the genial WSC baseball mentor, is eagerly awaiting the termination of the quarterly vacation so that he can mold the available men into a win ning combination. Indications from the Cougar camp point to a strong conferee e contender with but three regula' j from the 1933 nine being lost by graduation. Coach Bailey expects to shift his infield around in an at tempt to fill these gaps. Ollie Arbelbide, veteran first baseman, returns and is counted on heavily this seaspn for his hit ting strength. In addition to Ar belbide, Coach Bailey has Buddie Robinson, last year’s regular sec ond baseman, and fiery Phil Sar boe, two year veteran who has plnyed third and shortstop respect ively the last couple of seasons. He will most likely be used at the latter post this spring. Sarboe will be counted on heavily this year by Coach Bailey, his work on the dia mond being fully as impressive as his football ability. The "hot cor ner" post left vacant by the grad uation of Oscar Erickson has been assigned to Joe Caraher, veteran curve ball twirler, whose fielding ability makes him valuable at that position. If Caraher comes through satis factorily at third base, Henry Bendele, Cougar fullback and most consistent bnttsnmn on the ball club, will in all probability be shifted to right field to fill the va cancy left by Frank Olmo. Experienced material in the out er garden consists of Lee Sonne and Jones, regular left fielder. Newcomb, sophomore, is showing promise due to his excellent field ing and base running. In the catching department Coach Bailey is far from being as sured of strength, losing probably the most outstanding bulwark both on offense and defense when Allan McKay completed his col lege career last year, thence re porting successively to the Phila delphia Athletics and Portland of the coast league. Outstanding prospects for the backstop posi tion are Rosentangle, Burelle, Bill Smith, and Beard. The lettermen pitchers who make up the strong staff are Lef r ty Irvine, first string chucker last year, Pete Herrold, Joe Caraher, Bob Houston, and Coleman. Out standing among the new men is Hank Costa, sophomore athlete who has a good curve ball and fine change of pace. Costa has been pressing the veterans and may see considerable duty. Other recruits include Strom, Huntley McPliee, Sorenson and Pfannakuchen. Coach Bailey will carry a trav elling squad of about 17 players which goes on the road for the first time during the early part of May, meeting the University of Oregon at Eugene on May 7 and 8. In addition to the 16 conference games scheduled, the Cougars en gage Whitman in six contests. Sport Chats FROM HERE and THERE By DAN E.

Last night the squad was greet ed with a long workout in fielding and laying down bunts, and Mon day night after a stiff batting practice a short game was played between the first and second strings. In the infield, which shows promise of developing into one oi the smoothest fielding combina tions seen on the campus for sev eral years, Joe Gordon, at short and Ray Koch, at second, have been working nicely together or double play combinations. For the other infield posts Harry McCall has been getting the call at the initial sack and Mark DeLauney at the hot corner. Although bewailing the loss oi Treadway Charles on the pitching staff, Reinhart rejoices in the pos session of five other capable pel let tossers to carry the hurling burden. Ron Gemmel and Ike Danin are veterans from last year’s nine while Ossie Edwards returns after a year’s absence from school. Don McFadden, for mer Southern Oregon normal star and Jack Todd form the remaindei of the staff. With the outer gardens capably taken care of by Wes Clausen Maury Van Vliet, Hugh McCredie and Andy Karstens, the big worry of tHe Duck coach still remains behind the plate where he must fill the hole left by the loss ot Chuck Hoag. Husky Con Fury, off duty frotr the football squad, seems to bf the first in line for the job wit! Mickey Vail, diminutive ex-out fielder, giving him a close ract despite a finger injury receivec earlier in the season. Reinhari has been grooming both men hare to get them in shape to handle the offerings of his lot of stai hurlers. j The first home game of the sea son will be Saturday afternoon at 2:30 in a return engagement wit! the Oregon Normal boys. A num ber of other practice games wil follow before the opening tilt witl Oregon State on April 28. “Patronize Emerald advertisers.' iaiaisi3Eiajaiaas®aisEiaaaifflsM3(aR£ Hoarhound Drops j/2 Lb.

Lieutenant Edward W. Kelley, duckling mentor, has 28 aspirants out for positions on the frosh team. Wiltshire and Brewer, both from Eugene high school, head a well balanced mound staff. Both of these boys have been working hard and are expected to perform well this season. Behind the bat will be big Dick Bishop, ex-Eugene high school catcher and considered one of the best catchers in the state. Two right handed twirlers and a port-sider complete the pitching roster. In the infield Miller shows well at times at second. He is an ex pereinced man and bolsters the in field considerably. John Lewis at first and Faust at second seem slated to see much action. Faust has been moved in from the gar dens to short where he seems quite at home. The man for the “hot spot” has not been decided as yet but several likely prospects have been uncovered. Starting berths in the gardens are still open but Liebowitz looks good at center field. No regular first team has been named yet. The yearlings are working hard and Lieutenant Kelley is pushing them steadily along, smoothing off the rough edges. Two games with the rooks have been scheduled and two contests with Eugene high school. Others will be lined up in the near future. Those out for the frosh: Adams, Brewer, Bishop, Bogue, Combs, Danielson, Forrester, Fry, Gibson, Hayashi, Wiltshire, Williamson, Van Nuys, Tuttle, Peets, Minger, Miller, Lyda, Liebowitz, Lang, Lewis, Calhoun, Faust, A. Miller, Jacobs, Coulter, Cooper, Thomas. Professor at Stanford Pays Visit to Campus Payson J.

Defense featured the afternoon’s entertainment, with linemen playing a prominent role in the grid drama. Although fundamentals will fea ture most of the spring practice, spectators will be given a chance to witness the 1934 possibilities in a short series of practice games. Very few plays are being used, and chief function thus far of the sessions has been to remove the winter avoirdupois from the play ers, and to give an idea of the Ore gon system to newcomers. Defensive Stars Lost Prospects, viewed at this stage of the season, do not seem particu larly bright for a tight defense. The main cogs in backing up the line, Mike Mikulak and Bree Cup poletti, are gone, as is Leighton Gee, who snared many enemy toss es. While it is difficult to obtain with accuracy an idea of the weak spots of the team, in view of pres ent material the guards, center, and fullback seem to receive the doubtful honor. Frank Michek and Con Fury, who will be out for fullback and guard, respectively, are busy with other sports, how ever, so that the outlook may be brighter before next fall rolls around. Ends Strong A strong end combination is seen, with Co-captain Ray “Butch” Morse and Bud Jones back. Ned Simpson, reserve last year, has been coming along with a rush lately, and may shoulder his way into the lineup. Tackles likewise furnish a silver lining, for both Alex Eagle and Gardner Frye, regulars last year, are back. Joe Murray, frosh end, has been shift ed to tackle. The outstanding candidate for the vacant halfback post is George Pepelnjak. With him in the back field the Duck offense should make yardage. Bill Nye, from the frosh, reeled off some nice gains last night. With the prospect of the addition of some men later on that are now busy with other sports, the ball-carrying depart ment should show improvement. “Eugene’s Own Store” ivicLViorran * w asnourne MERCHANDISE OF MERIT ONLY -PHONE 2700 Another Big Shipment Neckwear — in Smart Tailored Styles —- in Frilly Styles — in Ruffled Effects — in Great Assortments 59c, $1-00, $1.25 MAKE SELECTIONS TODAY!
