13 to4 Defeat
By Yearlings
Four Homers Clouted
Iu Listless Caine
Kelley’s Charges Score Easily
Against Younger
Opponents
Captalizing on three home runs
and many walks, the frosh horse
hide artists drubbed Eugene high,
13-4, yesterday, in eight innings.
Cocky Brewer went the whole way
on the mound for the yearlings,
and threw in a pair of circuit hits
for good measure.
Kelley’s boys did big business in
the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
The initial score came in the open
ing inning when John Lewis drove
a hard hit over third base for a
home run. They were held score
less during the next two innings
but Brewer opened the fourth with
his first merry-go-round hit, bring
ing in Dick Bishop ,who had
walked.
Bill Fry walked and Aaron Mil
ler took second when a fielder
muffed his single. Sam Liebowitz
tapped one to second base and Fry
came in during the throw to first.
Arne Faust hit a long fly to left
field, scoring Miller. L. Lyda, third
baseman, finished the inning with
a strikeout.
Brewer Hits Homer
■ In the fifth inning Brewer hit
his second home run with the bases
full, bringing the frosh count "'to
nine. A walk and two errors al
lowed the Kelley men to bring in
four more runs in the sixth. Miller
was tagged out at home plate after
Liebowitz had beaten out an in
field hit which ended the frosh
scoring.
Fasset’s prepsters garnered their
first run in the opening inning
when Dick Wright banged out a
triple to score McIntyre, who had
singled. In the fifth Cheeseboro
scored from second when Danner
hit a clean single through second
base. Taylor hit a home run in the
seventh canto to bring the Eugene
count to three. In the eighth inn
ing Thunemann took first on an
error and scored on Russell's dou
ble to center field.
Danner Pitches Well
Ford Danner pitched five good
innings for Fasset’s outfit and
Hamrickson, Thunemann and Tay
lor were all called upon to finish
the game for Eugene. Gold.bar re
ceived. A total of seven hits were
gained from Brewer, though two
were slow infield blows and one
home run lit several feet out of
the foul line.

Swimming Team
Feted at Banquet
Given by Phi Sigs
Boushey Tells of Methods Used
By Japanese in Effort to
Hold Aquatic Title
The 1934 Oregon Webfoot swim
ming team was feted Tuesday
night at a banquet given in their
honor at the Phi Sigma Kappa
chapter house. Other guests of
honor delivered short talks during
the evening.
“When they once do a thing
they never do it half way,” said
Earl Boushey, professor of physical
education, who answered the ques
tion whether Japan can retain her
swimming supremacy in the next
Olympics. They invited the best
swimmers in the United States to
their country, and took thousands
of feet of film of them in action
so that they could study the swim
ming form and perfect their own
swimmers to a higher degree, he
said.
“They copied the things we had
and did it better than we did. And
we can't blame them for copying
our style, but our defeat may be
attributed to over-confidence.”
“Since the World war swimming
has risen to national prominence
due to the scientific construction
of swimming pools, filtration and
sterilizaton of pools and Johnny
Weismuller’s influence,” stated
Bill Phipps, sports editor, Oregon
Daily Emerald and president of
Phi Sigma Kappa. Phipps also
pointed out that the Y.M.C.A. was
instrumental in the success of
swimming throughout the United
States, as they have constructed
700 swimming pools.
“Minor sports can be made to
feed major sports,” remarked Er
nesto Knollin, professor of physi
cal education. Knollin was asso
ciated for seven years with Ernie
Branstein, Stanford coach, who is
recognized on the Pacific coast as
the “father of swimming and div
ing on the Pacific coast.”
Mike Hoyman, aquatic coach,
gave a resume of the present sea
son. Hoyman pointed out that
Oregon won five dual meets and
lost the Northwest championship
to the University of Washington
Huskies, whom they had defeated
earlier in the season. The Oregon
team amassed a grand total of
205 points. Wally Hug, sprint ace,
was high scorer, with 43, Oglesby
registered 40 and Needham 30.
The following guests attended
the banquet:
William Angell, Wallace Hug,
Floyd Lees, Robert Needham,
Francis Oglesby, Ladd Sherman,
Jim Reed, Kenneth Mayer, Nason
Newport, Hugh Rosson, Ernesto
Knollin, Earl Boushey, Russ Cut
ler, John Zhentbauer, Paul Laf
ferty, Thomas Stoddard, Richard
Near, Otto Vonderheit, and Dr. D.
C. Standard.
pitchers for 11 hits. Brewer with
two homers and Lewis with one
homer and two singles shared the
frosh hitting honors. Miller and
Liebowitz each collected a pair of
singles.
A return game is scheduled for
next Tuesday, possibly on the Eu
gene high field.
Mountain Dives
Net Squad Drill
With warm weather more than
abundant, the varsity netmen, un
der the able guidance of Tom
Mountain, who is the “head man”
in ihe absence of Coach Paul K
Waslike, are rapidly rounding into
top form.
The next match will be played
April 28th, at McMinnville, when
the Oregon racqueteers tangle with
the Linfield courtmen.
Coach Washke, who is now in
Cleveland, hopes to be able to join
his team at McMinnville before the
contest.
The exact lineup for the forth
coming match is at the present
time undetermined, however, it is
almost a certainty that Tom Moun
tain, George Eeonomus, Fred Fish
er, and Cosgrove LnBarre will be
among the ones chosen to pack
their duffle bag for the jaunt next
weekend.
‘Function of Education'
Topic to 15c Discussed
“Function of Education" is the
topic to be discussed by Geraldine
Hickson and Helen Harriman over
KOAC from 8:15 to 8:30 tonight.
The discussion will form the
second of a series sponsored by
the speech and the extension divi
sion of the University. Hay Clapp
is manager of the series.
Other discussions to follow will
include talks on the sales tax by
the men’s debate team, county
unit school plan by the women's
debate squad, and the munitions
racket by Howard Ohmart.
The address may be heard every
Thursday evening at the same
hour.

Washington’s Huskies Huskier Than Bears

University of California eight on Lake Washington in their annual regatta. The Huskies set a new
course record of IG minutes, 33 seconds in winning the race.
Track Records Due to Crash
When Cards and Bears Meet
- *
Rivals Clash Saturday in
Forty-First Battle
STANFORD UNIVERSITY,
April 17.— (Special)- Not a single
one of the fifteen Stanford-Cali
fopnia dual meet records may be
considered safe when track and
field teams of the Cardinals and
Bears clash in their forty-first an
nual battle here next Saturday.
The 1934 renewal of rivalry is
scheduled to start at 1:30 with the
javelin throw and at 1:45 with the
mile run.
Record breaking may start with
these two opening events. Kenneth
Churchill, California’s great spear
tosser, holds the present mark at
220 feet 9 inches. John Mottram,
Templeton’s ace, threw 220 feet
10 7-8 inches a month ago and has
been safely over 200 feet in every
meet. The mile record of 4:20.2,
made by Skin Wilson of Stanford
in 1914, is the oldest on the books
but may go the way of all good
marks next Saturday when Raftery
of the Bears and Nimmo of the
Cards meet. Raftery’s best mark
is 4:24.2 and Nimmo’s 4:22.9.
‘‘Bullet’ Bob Kiesel holds the 100
and 220 yard records with times of
9.6 and 21.1, respectively, and the
blond flyer has beaten those marks
this year. Against Southern Cali
fornia, he ran the century in 9.5,
and earlier in the season Kiesel did
20.8 in the 220. Emerson Spencer’s
48 seconds in the quarter looked
safe until A1 Blackman of the In
dians ran 47.0 in taking second
place to LuValle of U. C ,L .A.
and then turned in a winning ef
fort of 47.8 against U. S. F.
Although Dick Brace of Califor
nia has a best winning time of
1:57.7 in the half mile, he ran close
to 1:55 in taking second to John
son of Southern California and
might threaten Bill Richardson’s
mark of 1:53.8. The two mile rec
ord is held jointly by Coe of Stan
ford and Mossman of California at
9:38.2. Fowler, California’s sopho
more ace, ran 9:45.8 in winning
easily from the Southern Califor
nia eight lap men, and has a best
mark for the season of 9:39.5.
Both Captain Gus Meier and
Sam Klopstock of hte Indians have
run 14.6 in the high hurdles this
year and Meier tied the world’s
record of 14.2 in winning the N. C.
A. A. last spring. Ross Nichols
holds this mark at 14.8. Podge
Smith’s 23.5 in the low sticks ap
pears to be one of the safest rec
ords, but with Meier, and Coe of
California running 23.8,. one or the
other may succeed in setting a new
mark. John Lyman is almost cer
tain to beat Harlow Rothert’s 51
feet 10 3-8 inches in the shot put.
Lyman put 52 feet 4 3-4 inches two
Weeks ago and may do even better
The late Eric Krenz holds the
record in the discus throw at 161
feet 11 1-2 inches and although
this si better than Slinger Dunn’s
best mark, the latter is just hitting
his stride and will probably come
very close to 160 feet if he does not
surpass this distance. Bill Miller
and Bud Deacon of Stanford are
joint holders of the pole vault rec
ord at 13 feet 9 3-4 inches. Dea
con has cleared 14 feet 2 3-4 inch

Oil A SLEUTH
ON THE TRACK
—A N I) FIELD
A K K IK r peek into the past.
‘ * Those hurley beeves who labor
on the gridiron. What u snap they
have. The populace gathers, and
mutters can be heard "I don't see
how they stand it.” . . . "It takes
plenty of that, intestinal fortitude
to tackle a two hundred pounder
head on."
A whimsey, we too have lived.
Time was when the writer tipped
the Fairbanks at 191, cavorted
down the gridiron puffing and
panting. Now, scaling a mere 108
a thought passes that those days
are gone forever.
What sort of fortification does
it take to run around a cinder
covered pathway ? There can be
no seconds of meat and potatoes
for the star sprinter and ace two
miler. Maybe Frink Callison did
strike a sound note when he re
marked, "But what do they think
about when they run around in a
circle ?”
There is not too much to take
one’s time, but there is not too
much time to take. Then what
does Prink's guard think about be
fore he opens a hole for a crunch
ing fullback ? There have been
mutters heard as far as the third
row in the bleachers during a tense
moment in a grid classic, "Hey,
Hughes! What do I do on this
play?"
The two-miler works down to
ears and eyebrows so he may cuf
a few "seconds from his time, and
give the spoil fan the thrill that
comes v.'hen well-coached and
finely conditioned athletes fight
their way to the finish of a close
race.

Men’s Organisations
Should Sign Op Soon
For Pingpong Contest
All men's living organizations
wishing to enter a team in the
Campus YMCA pingpong tour
nament are requested to get in
touch with Hank Robert or Bill
Rice at 1001-J as soon as possi
ble. Before calling it is urged
that each organization appoint
one man to be responsible for
the house team.
The winning organization will
receive a cup—to be held for
one year. The cup is now in the
possession of the S.A.E.’s.
es this year and will be pushed by
Vantress, Mauger, and Haskell of
California who have marks df 13-8,
13-3 1-2, and 13-1, respectiveely.
Bob King holds the high jump
record at 6-5 1-8 which appears to
be a little out of the reach of the
| present crop of jumpers, although
Schween and Arthur of Stanford
have best marks of 6-4 and Thomp
son of California has cleared 6-2 1-4
looking capable of going somewhat
higher. The broad jump mark of
24 feet 1 1-2 inches is almost cer
tain to fall to Clark of the Bears,
who has a best effort of 24 feet
5 3-4 inches this season.
Particularly if the relay decides
the meet, the present record of
3:17.8 may go by the boards, al
though neither quartet has equalled
