THE athletic activities of the University of Oregon,
its competitive teams and otherwise, should be the
concern of each and every student on the campus. Keep
abreast of the sport news of your University if you are
not actively a participant.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1934

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.

RCHERY, baseball, and now
tennis is here. 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.

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.

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

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.

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

Dr. Miller urges the appoint

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

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

defense are rough.
