Women’s Sports Editor VOLUME XXXV i — . V. Z SPORTS 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. Pafre 4 The Tip-Off By BILL PHIPPS Major Award Is IIrgod as Suitable Recognition for Oregon Swimming Team rpHE case of the Order of the O.’s proposal that swimming he made a sport of major rating on the Oregon campus today comes before the athletic committee. 'Up on the decision of that body de pends, to a great extent, the fu ture of the aquatic sport as far as Oregon is concerned for the next few years at least. After a brilliant season this year in which the Duck mermen brought national glory to the Uni versity by its dual meet victory over the Washington Huskies, the team loses Co-captains Bob Need ham and Francis Oglesby, both stellar performers who have borne the brunt of the distatnce work during their college careers. True there are prospects among the var sity and frosh aspirants of this year that may develop to a stage where Coach Mike Hoyman can put a formidable squad into the water next winter, but after that what ? Year after year swimming com petition in the northern division of the Pacific coast conference be comes tougher, especially in times such as these when Jack Medica and Earl Mucha grace the Husky roster. The cause of the Order of the O in its effort to secure a ma jor sport award for Oregon swim mers has found general approval among the aquatic fans and stu dents in general because it is felt that such an award is only just recognition for men who can com pete successfully against a team like the Huskies, which placed third in national ratings this year. In depression times, when the University because of a necessitate ed curtailment of its athletic pro gram, is financially unable to of fer scholarships for swimmers, the burden of securing promising ma terial from high and prep school circles rests upon the granting of a major sport award as an induce ment to attract prospective var sity material to the University. As a matter of clarification, the pro posal that swimming be put on a major basis does not stipulate that the University embark upon an ex tensive program which would em brace the whole conference. It merely advocates that, swimming be carried on in the same manner as it was this winter under a lim ited budget, the only material change being that a major varsity O be given as a reward for success I in high class competition. Arguments have, of course, been raised. It is maintained by some that if swimming is put on a major basis, other minor sports such as golf and tennis should also carry a major letter as a reward. This presentation is, however, it seems to the writer irrelevant to the case. Swimming at the present time is in a unique status which is not anala gous to that of golf or tennis. The petition to the athletic com mittee portrays the cause of swim ming on its own merit. The issue at present is that a major letter should be awarded to members of the swimming team for gaining championship honors. If the Ore gon golfers and racket men can enter into the same class of com petition and fare ns successfully under the limited budgets now pro vided, then they are entitled to a hearing. Until then, it seems logi cal that golf and tennis should be entirely divorced from the present case, and that the committee should devote its deliberations to the cause of swimming as it applies to the University’s prestige and the maintaining of that prestige on its present high plane during the years to come. Practice Parade Again Set for I his Afternoon The series of practice parades for the R.O.T.C. units will con tinue this afternoon at 4:50' o’clock. Although it is not cer tain what student officers will take part in the event, it is prob able that Howard Bobbitt as re viewing officer, Don Black us bat talion commander, and Phil Mul der as adjutant will again take! charge. Next Monday the units will be inspected by Brigadier - General Parsons, accompanied by Major, Brush, who will be on the campus all day. A review will be held at 4:50 of the same day. While the past military parades have been ’•practice," the R.O.T.C. officers t warned that this was "the real thing," and cautioned students to polish their boots, brush their clothes, and perform other sundry duties i” connection with their personal appearance.

I Three Donut Leaders Lose Top Positions ATO and SAE Nines Are Only Winners Siffina Han, Delta Upsilon, Theta t'hl and l*i Kappa Alpha Aid In Upsets Three fighting underdog teams toppled the mighty league Pesh was from their haughty pedestals last night to leave only two unde feated nines. Diamond 3 proved unlucky for Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi, leaders of League I, for here the Theta Chi and Pi Kappa Al pha rlonuteers swept up the lot and left their league without an unbeaten team. The A.T.O.’s and S.A.E.’s managed to beat off the Chi Psi and S.P.E. players, to hold their lead over Leagues II and III respectively. The Sammies went down to defeat under the Sigma hall assault, leaving the League IV throne empty. Sigma Hall, 4; S.A.M., 2 Despite Les Goldschmidt’s con tinued starring in the pitcher’s box with nine strikeouts to his credit, the Sigma Alpha Mu kittenball club slowly crumbled before the Sigma hall nine’s drive. Shut-out ball was displayed for the entire seven innings. Ben Bowman, center fielder for Sigma, broke up the tight defen- j sive game with two homers — one of i which sped in a wide arc the length ■ of the field. Norm Winslow and Roland Blantz chalked up the two remaining runs for the hall. George Bikman at first and Ken Wendel at second played good infield ball for Sigma hall. The Sammy stars included Pitch er Goldschmidt, catcher Aaron Mil ler, who scored S.A.M.’s first run, Morrie Saffron, on the first sack! Vic Rosenfeld scoring the second Sammy run, and Red Rotenberg on third. U., 11; Omega Hall, 5 t1 or the first time in three g'ames the D. U. team started clicking to easily snatch the winning cheese from the Omega hall donut nine. At the first of the game things looked dark for the winners. W. Moore and Jim Landye both scored runs. Delta Upsilon soon retaliated with five runs to take a lead which it would not relinquish for the re mainder of the game. George Schenk showed he had something on the ball in his pitching debut. He had strong support from the O. U. infield and outfield. Jim Ferguson easily stole infield iioxuiis vvitn his spectacular one handed snagging of fouls off first base. Tom Wtiiting talked it up behind the bat, while Jack Lew knocked out the game’s only hom er, when two Omega fielders bowled each over in a vain at tempt to grab his loping bounder. | For Omega hall, Bob Kidder found the D.U.’s hitting all his throws, but could not be upset by the side-line chatter. Stuart Mock ford played a dependable game with the catcher’s glove. Theta Clii, 13; Sigma Nil, (i The Theta Chi softball team, doped to lose this match by a large margin, took a startled Sigma Nu aggregation to a trimming. Andy Newhouse ami First Baseman Brown led the hill boys to their victory with three runs each. Buss Woodward showed he was as good a ball player at third, as on the mound behind the plate. Stocky Catcher Willard Walo gave the I beta Chi picher every backing. Jack Rhodda held down the short stop position very well.

Now we will get down to the weight men. One might gather from the name given those who compete in the shot, discus, and javelin that it takes consider able avoirdupois to get any dis tance with the above mentioned a - _ -■ implements. That Warren Demaris idea holds in the case of Gardner Frye, who is the Northwest's premier discus tosser and is right up there with the shot. So does it with Stan Smith, sopho more weight man who is pressing Frye to the limit with the shot, and is picking up a few pointers with the discus. i What about those inconsisten cies such as Warren Demaris, who placed third last year in the na tional intercollegiate, who weighted a mere 168 bedside, and Bobby Parke who might do 170 sopping wet ? The truth of the whole matter is not in the individual heights of the men, but in the menu on train ing table for those favored few. When the food is portioned out be fore a race to the tracksters the manager goes down a list which reads as follows: dash men, 14 ounces; 440 men, 10 ounces; and decreases down the list pt the two milers who get just enough to feed a young canary. But the weight men -there seems to be a rule that might read mathematically - the food shall be proportioned in versely to the amount of work done. ance at first and Ed Fenwick made a good third baseman. A.T.O., 5; Chi I’si, I i he Chi Psis turn up for their softball games with a different battery every day. Last night the j two men who wrere appointed to j receive the public’s abuse were Bill Schloth and Burke Tongue. At j that, the ATO league leaders were | only able to get five hits off the I pair. Jim Whitely set the example for 1 Alpha Tau Omega by sprinting across the home plate and up to the score-keeper to breathlessly announce his run. “Freckles” Stranix did a good job in shutting out the Chi Psi batsmen, while Ben Grout was right there on first base to snag all throws to that,1 base. The A.T.O.’s specialized in force outs on second, with A1 Da vis receiving- the ball. However, they never succeeded in stretching it into a double play. Hague Callister played his usual steady and dependable game on the first sack, while Jim Wells starred by snagging all the flics sent into the left field territory. S.A.E., 1G; S.P.E., 13 The most breathless game seen for a long time was the S.A.E S.P.E. tit for tat on diamond 2 last ! night. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon donuteers. started like a midwest ern thunder storm. "Spook" Ftob ertson, first up to bat, was walked, Don Eva bunted; and Charles Van Dine knocked a homer. The S.A.E.'s were easily the most col orful team. With Catcher Bud Johns setting off the red hairs of his chest with a brilliant purple-and-gold Pendle ton shirt, Don Eva playing his.own game his own way, Left Fielder Van Dine dangling a cigarette from his mouth as caught all fires com ing his way he and First Baseman Henry Kupnkle urging the referee to play the game by the Kunkle system, they attracted plenty of attention. The S.P.E.’s tied the score in the fourth inning and then turned the fifth inning into a S.P.E. track meet. Led by Chuck Wishard, the hard hitting Sigma Phi Epsilon batters scored eight runs in this inning. Taking an early lead of 3 to 0. Pi Kappa Alpha put the Sigma Chi championship hope on skids. The backbone of the Pi Kap team was the triumvirate of Bree Cuppoletti, Bill Van Nuys, and Mike Mikulak. "Coop" put the softball through its paces to fan five batters, and to hold down such hits as were made to infield pop flies.

Frosli to Open Season Today Against EHS Yearlings Are Favored To Win Contest Bishop Will Be in Starling- Lineup; Wiltshire, Brewer, and Lyda to Hurl Oregon's freshman baseball hopefuls snapped through their last preliminary workout on the frosh field last night, before em barking on the regular schedule of games. Today they meet the Eu gene high preppers in their first bona fide appearance. The final practice ’was devoted mainly to hitting. Although a few of Coach Kelley's recruits are heavy batsmen, the majority whiff a big share of their attempts. Batting averages looked up last night, however, as most of the boys grabbed big hits from almost anything offered. Fielding work was encouraging, in spite of a few misplays, which marred the final practice session. Misunderstood signals caused most of the trouble. In today’s opening game Dick Bishop may do the receiving in stead of John Thomas, whose arm is a little sore. Bishop is also par tially laid up w-ith a bad right knee, but is too valuable a hitter to be left out of the lineup. If Bishop catches, Thomas will take a fielding position, and vice versa. Kelley plans to work all three pitchers, Cocky Brewer, Bob Wilt shire and Lyda. John Lewis is slated for first base, Aaron Miller, second, Sam Liebowitz, shortstop, and Lyda, when not in the box, third. Arnold Faust is a fixture for the outfield, the idle catcher will hold down the second spot, and the third will alternate between Wilt shire and Brewer.* Eugene high has already suf fered a pair of defeats from the frosh in practice games, and odds favor a repetition of the earlier tussles. The main interest in this game for fans will be the oppor tunity to look over the campus material as prospective varsity players.
