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.

Webfoot Nine
Faces Initial
Tilt Thursday
Webfoots Will Tangle
With Monmouth
Squad Goes Through Intensive
Workout; Backstop Post
Is Chief Problem
With the opening game of the
season set for tomorrow afternoon
at Monmouth against the Oregon
normal school nine Coach Billy
Reinhart, veteran Webfoot base
ball mentor, has been working the
Duck ball tossers early and late
this week to get them in trim.
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.

Lieutenant Kelley
j
Ace Mound Staff With Bishop
Behind Bat Should Bolster
Yearling’s Chances
Led by a high class battery and
a sparkling infield the frosh dia
mond artists show promise of con
tinuing the high grade of frosh
athletics at the University this
year.
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.

Mentors Drill
Grid Charges
In Practice
Defense Is Featured as
Players Scrimmage
Fundamentals Still Stressed After
First Week; Practice Tilts
To Be Kun Off Soon
The 50-odd hopefuls making up
the spring football turnout were
sent through their paces in a hard
scrimmage last night by Coach
Prink Callison. 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.
