VOLUME XXXV Page 4 The Tip-Off By BILL PHIPPS In Which Arc a Far Pass ing Remarks Concerning \ Grayson, Londos, et al j Sports merry-go-round: Down Stanford way the wise ones are hailing Portland's own Grayson son, as the most likely mate rial for a brilliant k professional base 5 ball career seen there in many years . . . In fact Harry Wolter, P Cardinal baseball mentor and old time outfielder for the New York Yankees, goes the experts one better and says Bobby is the best first base prospect in the whole United States . . . Evi dently a few others figure he is good, too, as it is rumored Horace Stoneham has invited Bobby to ac company the New York Giants on a traveling jaunt around the Na tional league after school is out this spring . . . Stolen from Mary Louiee Edinger’s society chatter (or was it from Cynthia Lilje qvist’s copy for the women’s page) —Joe Hauser, who hit more home runs than any other man in base ball last season, is rated the best bridge player who graces the na tional pastime . . . Fred Fitzsim mons, portly hurler for the New York Giants has one of the best knuckle balls in the game ... He uses it with a fast break and it is his favorite form of delivery . Charley Bernard, Michigan’s all American pivot ace may return to his home campus to help school the guard and center candidates next fall . . . While speaking of all-Americans the Newark Bears professional baseball club has an all-American backfield to press in to service anytime the big moguls of the outfit decide to go into foot hall . . . Jesse Hill, former U.S.C' halfback, Chief Koy, Texas half back star, Spud Chandler, Georgia fullback, and Jim Hitchcock, Au burn quarterback, make up the quartet . . .

Cunning ham didn t do so badly, however, as he set a new indoor record of 4:08.4. . .

Needs Hitters to Fill Hinterland Edward W. Kelley, new frosh baseball mentor, has been pushing his yearling tossers through a stiff schedule of practices during the last two weeks. Workouts started the latter part of registration week, and in the interval five prac tice games have been played. Playing the varsity reserves three times, and Eugene high twice, the frosh tasted but a sin gle defeat, when the reserves with Ossie Edwards chucking, trimmed them. In these tilts Kyda, Cocky Brewer and Bob Wiltshire all did some very commendable throwing and John Thomas, receiver, showed himself a dependable hitter, and will bolster the batting average.. Lewis Clinches position John Lewis, it seems, will have no competition for the initial sack, a position which he held down very creditably during the practice games. Aaron Miller is slated for the keystone position, Sam Liebow itz now appears to have the edge on the shortstop job, and Lyda, when not in the box, will cover the hot corner. Outfield Worries Coach Liebowitz, who claims that he has never played baseball until this year, is showing the acumen of a real diamond artist and Kel ley expects a lot from him, though the Brooklyn boy won’t be swat ting too many big hits during his baptismal year. The outer gardens are the big gest sources of worry to the frosh coach, since spring football prac tice is withholding a pair of dia mond aces, whom he had previous ly counted on. They are Dick Bishop(, an excellent receiver, and Fred Hunt, a utility man, who practically has the promise of an outfield job, if he can work out with the squad. If these boys are available at all it will probably be too late to groom Bishop for the catcher's job, so Kelley is counting on him for one of the fielding positions. He has a great deal of respect for Thomas, both as a receiver and a hitter, anyway, and feels that he is cinched for that position. Arne Faust, basketball star, is sure to get one of the outer posi tions and Art Fry did some good practice fielding in the absence of the two football men. He will be available when needed. Should Cal lison keep the boys working too hard, the rest of the outfield will have to come from other recruits or idle pitchers. Pitchers Are Hitters In spite of the old adage that pitchers don't hit, IJrewer and Lyda have been swinging the big gest stick of them all so far. Thomas pounded out enough good blows to get into the trio of clout Nutionul News Letter Obtained by Library Seeking a news service from the nation's capital in advance of the usual run of syndicated news, au thoritative, yet clairvoyant, the li brary has hit upon the Iviplinger Washington News Letter, a week y account intended mainly for pri ■atc circulation among business ex jcutives, but consequently all the more valuable to the student. The papers will be kept in the listory reserve of the old library. “Eu gene’s Own Store" t MeMorran & Washburne MERCHANDISE OF MERIT ONLY ---PHONE 2700 Saturday SALE!

Thursday when they won their matches with Sigma Phi Epsi lon and Delta Tau Delta. The D. U. team of Stan Smith, Bill Rice, Jack Lew, and Jerry Scott gained an eight to four point victory over the S. P. E. team of Bob Anderson, Ed McCIaughry, Ed Schlesser and Borden Poison. For the Phi Sigs Bill Aetzel Won from Jim Ghormley and Tom Massey halved with Chuck Moore. These matches, together with the victories of Bob Need ham and Blakely Hamilton the day before, gave the Phi Sigs a 10 1-2 to 1 1-2 victory over the Delts. ers, who at present seem to be the main strength of the frosh. A complete schedule for the year lings cannot yet be announced, though four rook games are defin itely on the books. The season opener comes up next Wednesday, April 18, when Kelley's men mix with the Eugene high artists.

Joe Cinders By BILL BOWERMAN OR A SLEUTH OX THE TRACK _ —A N n FIELD When the multitudes gather on Hayward field Saturday afternoon at 2 to see the opening perform ance in the way of track events, or any other time, watch for your own amusement how many of the enthusiasts gather around the fin ish line to watch an event. If you can spot Colonel Bill Hay ward, he will probably be across the field 'from the event, or in the middle of the stands. The reason Hayward, or any other person who knows their track, picks such a po sition is because more can be seen. When one stops to consider how an observation is made for accu racy and clearness of vision, it is made from a distance. When the U. S. army wants to see how a sit uation as a whole looks, a picture is taken from 3000 to 10,000 feet away. If a track meet is watched, as at the finish of the hundred yard dash, where everybody crowds to the tape, nothing is seen but the flash of the runners as they whizz past and perhaps there will be a whiff of that athletic odor. From a distance the entire drama of a race, even as short as the century, unfolds itself before the spectators as they see the individual fight for first place to the tape. If the spectators will find a good seat at a comfortable distance, they can enjoy the track meet, and the events can be run without the hindrance of people running across the track to get to so-called van tage points. Coach Names Handicaps for Cinder Stars Final Trial Meet Is Slated For Today at 2 Hayward Announces Long- Array Of Judges; Hummel Is Head Starter Colonel Bill Hayward has drawn up the handicap distance that each man will receive, and has a num ber of officials to see that the track meet held this afternoon at 2 here will be run without any trouble.

The spring sports program at Oregon State college seems to in clude every sport now in season except spin the platter. Orange athletes will participate in tennis, golf, spring football, baseball, track, polo, crew, freshman sports and intramural and all-campus sports. The Beaver baseball team will open its conference schedule April 27 against Oregon. In the mean time Coach Slats Gill's nine is meeting opponents representing various Oregon colleges. Already the Orange has defeated Pacific 2 to 1 and Monmouth by the de cisive score of 22 to 8. The O. S. C. baseball team re turned to conference circles this year and has signed games with Washington, Washington State and Idaho in addition to Oregon, whom they played last year. Time trials for Orange runners were held by Grant Swan, track coach, last Saturday. After the trials it was announced that Char ley Fyock, sprinter, had pulled a leg muscle. Fyock ran in the Hill indoor relays against Oregon. Al though Oregon won the relay, Fyock finished his part of the event ahead. The Staters will open confer ence track competition against the Oregon Webfoots on April 28 in the annual relays. Five veterans have returned this year. They are: Don Anderson, captain and discus tosser; Skeet O’Connell, broadjumper; Bob Patrick, sprint er; Chuck Prahl, who participates in the high hurdles, jumps, pole vault, and sprints; and Will White, half-miler. The spring football sessions will be climaxed by a game with an all-star group coached by Hal Moe and Tar Schwammel, ex-Beaver stars. The game will be played under professional rules. Norman “Red” Franklin, star of the Orange team, will be faced by some tough opposition from “Moe’s pros” since the roster of the stars includes Frank Little, Vic Curtin, Red MacDonald, Johnny Biancone. Hal Joslin, Loren Tuttle, Keith Davis, Wayne Harn, Everett | Davis, Russ Acheson, Bill Head, ! Cecil Sherwood and Vern Wedin.

The Beaver polo four played a practice game with a team of alumni and came out with a tie score, 4-4. The polo team will in vade California next week for games with the University of Cali fornia at Berkeley on April 20, and with Stanford at Palo Alto on April 25. The status of freshman sports is somewhat uncertain, but in spite of this uncertainty, 20 year lings turned out for baseball at the college. More are expected since the rook nine has been defi nitely declared in the program. Intramurals and all-school sports activities range from life-saving to the familiar softball contests. The program of intramurals only eludes dual track, indoor baseball, golf, horseshoes, and ten nis.

One thing we do is to buy mild, ripe tobaccos and then lock up these to baccos in modern storage warehouses to age and mellow like rare wines. It takes about 3 years to age the tobaccos for your Chesterfield, for Time does something to tobacco that neither man nor machine can do. It means something to keep 70 million dollars worth of tobacco in storage. It means just this: We do everything possible to make Chesterfield the cigarette that’s milder, the cigarette that tastes better. «* the cigarette that TASTES better © 1954, Liccett & Myers Tobacco Co,
