VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1934 Page 4 The Tip-Off By BILL PHIPPS Today’s Sport Calendar Full; ‘Pigging’ Urged to Bolster Baseball Interest rpODAY’S sports calendar offers ' a complete line of entertain ment for followers of University of Oregon athletics. Bill Rein hart’s 1934 baseball nine makes its initial appearance before cam pus fans against Oregon Normal. Golfers from University of Wash ington will match strokes with the Webfoot varsity on the Eugene Country club course. Bill Hay ward will stage another of his pre-season meets featuring his cin der artists to round out the pro gram for the day. Baseball, of course, presents the most appeal for the majority of students today as the Ducks, chafing from a 4 to 3 defeat at the hands of the Wolves Thurs day, will be fighting to even the count in this practice series which is preparing them for the coming conference campaign. "Pigging” to the old ball park is again being urged as a means to stage off impending financial disaster to the national pastime on the Oregon campus. Baseball never pays anything in the A. S. U. O. coffers, the expense being borne by football, but this year the situation is even more serious than ever before. * * * Even in the days when the en tire student body automatically became members of the A. S. U. O. the diamond sport failed to draw good crowds into the bleach ers. Playing ball games before a handful of fans scattered abouL the stands is at best disheartening and not at all conducive to spark ling exhibitions, so “pigging” to the games is encouraged for to day's tilt as well as for the re mainder of the baseball contests this spring. Whole hearted support to Reinhart’s ball club in the form of attendance by those students who do hold student body cards will result in the Oregon outfit’s turning in vastly superior per formances. * * * A news flash imparted to the writer today by Bill Eberhart, Emerald sports writer extraordi nary, who operates the refresh ment concession for the games, announces that free hot dogs will be dished out to the fir^t five cou ples who trek to the ball park this afternoon. With this added incen tive to lure “piggers” to the Web foot-Oregon Normal tussle, Eber hart anticipates a rush on his establishment shortly before the umpire bellows, "Play ball!” Eber hart is prepared for the immigra tion movement to Reinhart neld and yesterday afternoon stated that in case the "piggers" at tempted to storm the field he would station judges at each of the gates to determine the win ners of the free sandwiches. Well known personalities in Northwest golf will be included in the Husky lineup on the country club course today. Scotty Camp bell, who reached the semi-finals in the National public links tour ney a year or two ago, along with Harry Givan, former Seattle city champion, anil Johnny Shields, who two years ago was considered one of the finest golfers in the state of Washington, will be big attractions for those who prefer the ancient and honorable compe tition on the green and fairway to baseball.

Jean Aiken, tennis manager, has practically completed plans for the tennis matches of this year. One unusual feature of the ten nis tournament this season is mixed doubles. Previously, the matches were* restricted to wo men's singles and doubles, but this year a new system is being tried out. The first practice for intra myrals in tennis will be Monday afternoon at 5. Everyone inter ested is urged to begin early so that an exciting tournament will mark the close of this year’s sports. Regular tennis games will not be played for a week or two, so all tennis players will have plenty of time to get back into their old swing. Since activity in sports this term offers the first opportunity for houses to start building up points for the house participation plaque, the fundamental require ments and basis for award are of immediate interest to all women's houses. Eligibility for entrance into the contest for the plaque is bused on two points: 125 per cent of tile members of the house must have participated in sports ami the house must have participated in 50 per cent of the sports offered. Presentation of the award de pends on tiie per cent of girls in the house participating in sports, the per cent of sports offered by the W. A.

Women’s Athletics lla/.cl Lewis Wins 1’rlze A huge Easter basket, clever and colorful, won the $10 first prize in the Register-Guard's Miss ing Word contest for Hazel Lewis, daughter of D. L Lewis, superin tendent of buildings and grounds of the University. Miss Lewis is a senior at University high school. Lost amt Found Articles Listed The lost and found department at the University depot reports, 3 notebooks, 3 magazines, 1 test book, and 1 pair of ladies gloves, have been turned in this week. A total of 17 articles left from last term are still uncalled for. Three in Infirmary Students now confined to the infirmary are Ruth llansen, Vir ginia George, and Margery Thayer. Miss Thayer’s tonsils were re moved yesterday afternoon. How ever, she will be served a portion of those fresh trout that the pa tients will have for dinner tonight, Margaret Colahan, nurse, reported. DonutSoftball Tilts to Open Monday at 4 Tennis anrl Golf Matches To Start Also Games Are Only Scheduled for First Three Days in Week MONDAY’S SOFTBALL SCHEDULE 4:00 Diamond 1—Phi Sigma Kap pa vs. Sigma Nu. Diamond 2—Yomon vs. Alpha Tau Omega. Diamond 3—Kappa Sigma vs. Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 5:00 Diamond 1—Sigma Alpha Mu vs. Delta Upsilon. Diamond 2—Pi Kappa Alpha vs. Theta Chi. Diamond 3—Phi Kappa Psi vs. Chi Psi. Twelve kittenball teams will meet their first test on the intra mural fields below the Igloo. Many of the houses are already well prepared for the coming con tests by frequent sandlot prac tices. The Betas have had one good turn-out. “Mik” has been giving the Pi Kaps good fielding practice on the. grass field behind Condon. The Phi Delts, spurning a Uni versity-constructed back stop such as Condon, have their own special wire back stop in a lot across the street from their house. The Delta Upsilon ball men are meeting the Chi Psi team in a pre-season game Sunday on the hard-gravel lot op posite the D. U. dwelling. Two Coif Contests Four donut golf teams will play Monday. Delta Upsilon will do its best to low-score the Phi Kap pa Psi foursome, while the Sigma hall men will come up against the expert Chi Psi aggregation. The time when the opposing teams are to meet and the course on which they are to play is left to the decision of the fraternities and halls involved; however, it is urged that intramural managers make these arrangements as early as possible in order to iron out any possible conflicts. Tennis Scheduled The donut tennis season will be ushered in Monday by two tilts— the first between Sigma Chi and Delta Tau Delta, and the other between Sigma hall and Sigma Nu. The Sigma Chis’ chances in donut tennis, as also the Yeomen’s, will depend largely upon the ten nis coaches ruling on whether frosh and varsity net aspirants will be allowed to compete in the non-varsity sports. The Delt rac queteers meet the White Crossmen at 4 p. m. and the hall boys play Sigma Nu at 5 both matches to be played on the main courts be tween 14th and 15th streets. In all three intramural sports, softball, golf, and tennis, the in tramural board has scheduled games for only Mondays, Tues days, and Wednesdays, as it has been found that many of the stu dents return to Portland over the week ends and cannot be present for intramural competition. This open week end can be used by those who remain in Eugene for practice periods. Requests for Aid Still Flood Bureau Although more than 150 Univer sity students have been assigned federal relief work, there are still many students calling each day at the employment office at the Y hut for odd jobs, Miss Janet Smith, campus employment secretary, said yesterday. Many of the job-seekers are stu dents, who through some techni cality are ineligible for the fed eral aid employment, while others are among the more than 100 eli gible applicants, who must wait until May or June for their turn on the relief role. The employment office has thus far been fortunate in placing, on an average, about seven students a day at various types of odd jobs about the city. Last All-Campus Entries Must Be In by 12 Today Entry List in Men’s Gym Already Has Many Signatures With Well-Known Players Today is the last day in which you can enter all-campus golf, horseshoes (singles), or tennis (singles and doubles). According to Earl Boushey, supervisor of all campus sports, all men must sign their names on the entrance sheets posted in the gymnasium before noon today in order to be eligible for the above mentioned sports. Some of the would-be campus champs who have already signed up look pretty good. In golf Sid Milligan, Stan Smith, John Boyd, and John Allen stand out. With the boys who toss the iron shoe the competition seems pretty close. So far, the greatest number of names have been signed to the tennis singles blank. Over twenty names were entered on Friday night with every indication that the galaxy of non-varsity racquet wielders would increase appre ciably by the dead-line set today noon. Tennis singles men who will bear watching are Joe Saslavsky, J. A. Newton, and Pete Buck. In the tennis doubles the firm of Win slow and Chaney appears to have some possibilities. Potential cham pions may appear, however, in the last minute rush this noon who will outclass the individuals list ed above. Unlike intramural tournaments, the all-campus events are an in dividual affair. The physical edu cation department draws up the contest and encourages students to participate in them, but it leaves the individual players the respon sibility of arranging the time for the matches. EARLIER SPRING MAKES WORK FOR HENDERSON (Continued from Paqe One) high, is a native of the state of Mississippi. When Professor Henderson fin ishes his task of collecting some time this summer, he plans to de termine with mathematical cer-, tainty just how advanced the pres ent season is. For each specimen he gathers he will compile the average date of bloom or fruit as shown by all other similar speci mens in the herbarium. Then by the simple process of subtraction, and again averaging the differ ences for all plants, he will be able to state just about how early the spring is this year. A number of plants found by Professor Henderson this year, compared to those in the herba rium, will give an idea of the earliness of the season. In the following list the common name of the plant is given first, then its botanical name, the date col lected this year, and the average date collected previous years: Bigelow’s willow (Slaix Lasio lepis var. Bigelovii), February 27, March 28; California laurel or Oregon myrtle (Umbelluraria Cal ifornia), March 1, April 8; red berried high brush huckleberry (Vaccinium parviforium), March 4, April 25; common horsetail (Equisetum arvense), March 4, April 20; western bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa), March 4, May 15; wild cucumber (Echinocystis oreganus), March 4, May 14. The campus of the University it self is an interesting field of study, with numerous shrubs, plants and trees coming into bloom early. Class Will Learn Of Labor-Savers Laziness is apparently an attri bute in Dean H. V. Hoyt's class in office organization and manage ment. During the remainder of the term, the class will be instruct ed in the ways and uses of all the various labor-saving devices used throughout the large business of fices of the country. Thursday the Burroughs book keeping machine was demons:fit ed before class. Next Tuesday an addressograph and a card-print ing machine loaned by the Office Machinery and Supply company of Kugene will be demonstrated. The machines are manufactured by the Elliot company of Cam bridge, Massachusetts. Gill Bases Hopes for Title On Veteran Baseball Squad Oregon State’s 1933 Infield Men Return Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of articles analyzing the baseball squads of the northern division of the Pacific Coast conference. Ey BILL AETZEL Greeted by a veteran diamond squad this season, Coach Slats Gill has high hopes for an Oregon State conference championship and is already sending his charges in to pre-season combats on a pro gram which includes six regular ly scheduled games before the con ference opener^ against Oregon April 27. Led by Captain Jimmy Clarke, third baseman,! the 1933 infield appears intact and should have the steadying influence necessary for the pitching staff of only two regulars. Ed Creider appears to have the first sack position cinched again this year and is sharing the batting spotlight with Dan Mitola. George Hibbard and Bill Callan, both veterans, are holding down the shortstop and second base berths respectively. Mitola, heavy hitting junior let terman, is the only experienced outfielder and bats cleanup posi tion in the lineup. Bud Dockery, a newcomer, is playing the middle garden post and McEwan is in left. Mitola is the only flychaser sure of his position as Bergstrom, Atcheson, and Valberg are show ing up well in practice. Jack Woodard, right hander, and Boyd Rasmussen, a portsider, are the only veteran twirlers this year. Jack Woerner, a transfer, Earl Peterson and Bruno Kolkoski, frosh athlete at the University of Oregon last year, are the other available right handers who should break into the lineup this spring. The catching department ap pears none too secure with Bob Hollenbeck, letterman, the only likely looking candidate for back stop duty. Bob Bergstrom, up from the frosh, has been relieving Hollenbeck behind the plate in practice tilts. The loss of Captain Bud Keema, stellar receiver for three years, has left a gap that appears to be the weak spot in that lineup. STUDENTS STAGE SHOW TO SATIRIZE ARMY DAY (Continued from Pape One) Per Cent American—I Hate Ev erybody”; “A Profiteer Is Not Without Honor in His Own Coun try”; "Keep the Eskimos Out of Our Igloo”; “Less for Education— More for Eradication”; and "The Army Builds Men (to Kill Them).” The war protestors parade marched to music—to the sound of an old horn, and the beating of a kettle. Their route took the stu dents through the campus several times, and during the noon hour through downtown Eugene. Fol lowing the demonstration Camp bell made a brief statement in which he declared, “Army day is cm iui pcin iuiu; uciixuxi strations. We believe? those peo ple most patriotic who most earn estly oppose war.” Major Back Silent Major R. H. Back of the reserve officers’ training corps detach ment said he had no statement to make on the affair, and Acting President C. V. Boyer declared he had not been aware of the parade when asked for his opinion late in the afternoon. Chancellor Kerr was out of the city, and could not be reached. Several months ago Campbell led a group of 25 students which protested against compulsory mili tary training on the University campus. At that time, the faculty voted to keep drill on a required basis by a margin of four votes, 35 to 31.

Models in the fashion show are Men, Women Will \ Pair Off in Mixed ! Tennis Matches Men, pick your best girl!—or bettec yet, a good female tennis player, for the all-campus mixed doubles in tennis is on. Previous to this time, the women have held their own intramurals, under the supervision of Miss Margaret Duncan, while the men have held their non-varsity sports. But now some of the students have asked permission to hold an all-campus tennis competition in which both men and women could participate; and the two all-campus supervis ors have arranged to hold such a competition. As now planned an entry sheet will be posted at the men’s gym where the men may write their names and the names of their re spective partner. From this list the tourney will be drawn up in brackets. A diagram showing the progress of the mixed: doubles matches will be posted in the wo men’s gym and a similar diagram in the men’s gym. If there is enough interest in the mixed tennis tourney, it is planned to hold a mixed golf con test later in the spring. Trial Track Meet Is This Afternoon Bill Hayward’s sprinters and distance runners will compete to day at Hayward field at 2 p. m. in preparation for the Oregon State relays the latter part of this month. Today’s trial may include some hurdle races and field events, but the stress will be on the performances of the runners, since the field men will not see action in intercollegiate competi tion until next month. Events to be included in the trials today will include 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard event, 880-yard run and mile run. Both varsity and freshmen cin der candidates will take part in the races this afternoon. SENIORS GET CHANCE TO UNDERTAKE EXAMS (Continued from Pape One) chest specialist for a thorough ex amination. At present two students, Roland Rourke, and Arlene Johanson, are contacting seniors and making ar rangements for examinations. The appointments can be made through these students or by calling at the dispensary. The examinations will be offered between 8-11, and 1-4 o’clock. Dr. Miller urges the appoint ments to be made early this spring because the last few weeks the dispensary will be busy and those who have not taken the examina tion will be left out. Each student taking the examin ation will be asked to fill out a questionnaire designed to find out what changes he would propose for better service at the dispen sary, Dr. Miller concluded.

Have Your SPORT SHOES Repaired Now for wear on these warm spring days CAMPUS SHOE REPAIR Across from Sigma Chi Right on the Campus Webfoot Golfers Will Meet Husky Team Here Today Matches Slated to Run All Day; Olsen, Boyd, Miller, Mann, And Mulder Play University of Oregon's 1934 golf team will meet the formidable University of Washington team today at the Eugene Country club. Three matches of best ball four somes will start this morning at 9:30. In the afternoon, starting at 1:30, team matches will be held. The Nassau system of scoring will be used both in the morning and afternoon. The Oregon team will include in the order named: Don Olsen, Johnny Boyd, Phil Mulder, Jack Mulder, Bob Miller and Heinie Mann. The entire personnel of the Husky golf team has not been an nounced, but it will include three golfers who have been prominent in Washington state and national golfing circles for the past two years. These are Scotty Campbell, who reached the national public links semi-finals two years ago; Harry Givan, Seattle city champion of 1932, and Johnny Shields, ranking golfer in the state of Washington in 1932. Article on Writing Method to Appear Writing should be taught essen tially as a thought process rather than a matter of mere mechanics, according to an article by John C. McCloskey, instructor in Eng lish. McCloskey’s article entitled “The Breakdown of Tradition” deals with the instruction of Eng lish composition. It will appear in the college edition of the Eng lish Journal, the official publica tion of the National Council of English Teachers, this fall. According to McCloskey, the old traditional forms of teaching writ ing and composition have been disappointing in the results achieved. A new technique that is more in accord with the psy chological principles actually in volved in the writing act is there fore suggested. OREGON VARSITY TO MEET WOLVES TODAY (Continued from Page One) Vliet will again hold down his po sition in center. For Larry Wolfe’s nine it is very likely that Treadway Charles will make his second attempt to trim the Ducks with either Erwin or Tork receiving his offerings. McConnell, who grabbed the ninth inning victory for his team Thurs day when he tripled with the bases full, will be in at shortstop again and ready to contribute plenty of stick work. Practice Session Easy Practice last night was the eas iest for several days. The regu lars, except the outfielders, after a good round of batting practice and a short workout were sent to the showers. Then Bill Moore and Ivan Elliott were worked on in field fielding while the entire col lection of outfielders were put through their paces by Reinhart. Fury also remained for a little ex Callison Puts Emphasis on Fundamentals Two Weeks of Practice Are Over With Guard and Fullback Positions Are Stronger Than Other Posts Fundamentals were again feat ured on last night’s workouts on the football field, with special em phasis laid on blocking and ball carrying. The first practice game has been scheduled for next Fri day. With almost two weeks of prac tice gone by the boards, a fairer estimate of the men can be ob tained. Several have improved, while others have been laid up with injuries. The team should be fortified in all departments when some late-comers return to the fold a few weeks hence. Back’s Kicking Good Walt Back, a transfer, has shown a great deal, especially in the kicking department. He is especially proficient in drop-kick ing, achieving several difficult at tempts. If he continues to develop, he should have a mortgage on the fullback job despite the many can didates. “Pepper” Pepelnjak has been going out after the vacant half back post, and will be hard to beat out. With his tricky gait on offense, the ball-carrying depart ment should take an upward spurt. The frosh contribute Bill Nye, who has put on some weight since last fall, and who is improv ing daily, and Bill Borden. Terjeson In jures Foot Ralph Terjeson, who seems to have a strangle hold on the quar terback position, reported last night with an injured foot. He ex pects to be around at his job, however, within a day or so. The wingmen, under the direc tion of Butch Morse, received a thorough going-over. The out standing candidate is husky Ned Simpson, varsity reserve last fall, who with his weight and speed is pushing his way to the front. Tackle Material Strong The tackle posts have worlds of power and weight. Del Bjork, big Astoria boy, showed up effectively last night as did Joe Murray. These two are the best bets to aid Alex Eagle, Gardner Frye, and Dwight Nielson next fall. The guards did not show much last night, with the exception of Roy “Rosy” Gagnon, who with his experience, showed to great ad vantage. This department will soon have Freddy Hunt, frosh per former, who has been out with knee trouble. Ed Farrar contin ues to hold down the center post, although his passing and general defense are rough. tra drill in pegging and catching popup flies. Others not mentioned above who will possibly see action in clude Stroble and Hackney, catch ers, Butler, Vossen, Muller, and Karstens, outfield, Eddie Vail, in field, and Todd, Thuneman, and Gemmell, pitchers. jtJUfer “Eugene’s Own Store’’ McMorran & Washburne MERCHANDISE OF MERIT ONLY --PHONE 2700—-.
