Page 4 The Tip-Off By BILL PHIPPS Sports Editor Makes Exit and Boiverman Steps Into Picture •T'UESDAY morning those sports enthusiasts who subject them selves to the perusal of the Emer Bowerman aid sports page will be greeted with the name of Bill Bowerman appearing at the top of the mast head in a new role — that of sports editor. These few words mark the last effusion of the writer in his sporadic attempts lo contribute to sports literature through the medium of this col umn. It is with a certain regret that your correspondent offers his swan song; yet mingled with *lhat regret is a satisfaction that the pounding out of this column now rests in the more capable hands of one who is better qualified for the task. j It has been a pleasure to have been able to serve up during the last term and the few weeks that have passed those little discourses in the field of sports in which it was hoped students were interest ed. If the writer has, during his period at the helm, inadvertently stepped upon innocent toes in is sues that were taken in all sinceri ty as they appeared to him, he, of course regrets it. With the advent of spring term and the accompanying major in terest in track and baseball, the column will now be written by an individual who is close to the ac tivity and who knows the situa tions as they exist behind the scenes. He can give a new sparkle to his daily dissertations in inti mate little stories and bits of dope that are known only by those in cluded in that select fraternity the group acuvefy associated with athletics.

EDWARD JONES A “strange* interlude,” with wild ly fantastic football maneuver ing* was tendered the 40-odd souls that dug around the edge of the turf field below McArthur court yesterday afternoon. The tilt was in the nature of a practice game between the “Blues” and the “Greens,” with a resultant victory for the latter, when Walt Back skated for yards through a mam moth gap, in the last quarter, so that the Greens literally had to accept victory on a garnished plat ter. New Prospects seen The game served a valuable purpose in giving an idea of how the frosh prospects and transfers looked under fire. The general im pression was left that Coach Prink Callison’s chance for moulding a fair combination out of the wreck age from last year is not at all bad. From the start the defense dom inated what little glory was to be had. The Greens had Ralph Ter jeson at quarter, Elmore Borden and John Reischman at halves, and Back at fullback. The Blues’ big attack centered around the peren nial Pep Pepelnjak and Bill Nye, the blond Harrisburg, Pennsylvan ia flyer, at halves. The balance of the battle went to the Greens on their superior line. With Speed Phillips and Stan Riordan holding down the wing posts, Pat Fury and Dwight Niel son at tackles, Del Bjork and Ross Carter at guards, and Ed Farrar broken up before a Blue ball-pack er was fairly on his way with the mail. i Frosh Are Strong A warning for future seasons was voiced in the uncouth but ex ceedingly effective way in which Bjork and Farrar, freshmen, In corporated, slammed their way through the opposing line. Bjork, who burdens the Fairbanks to the extent of 202 pounds, was not a whit more elective than Farrar, who weighs a mere 180. With these two men manning the Green line, they meandered about the Blue backfield on more than a few oc casions. The Blues, although outclassed, put up a gallant battle, time and again repelling a Green invasion at a critical moment, and driving down into enemy territory on three occasions. Pepelnjak and Nye reeled off excellent gains, but could not keep up the consistent, pound ing attack of the Greens. Teamwork Racking Although individuals showed up well, the teamwork, as is usual in spring practice was woefully lack ing. Many times a ball-carrier was out in the open, only to go down in an inglorious heap because of lack of blocking. The Greens woke up two or three times, and rushed their opponents off their feet with a sustained attack of hard driving and blocking. A game is rumored to be in the offing for next week. The squad should be fortified with the turn out of veterans who have been oc cupied otherwise thus far. The latest one to report was Frank Mi chek, smashing halfback, who showed effectively yesterday. “Patronize Emerald Advertisers." ‘ “Eugene’s Own Store” McMorran & Washburne MERCHANDISE OF MERIT ONLY --PHONE 2700-— The New Jantzen Swimming Suits ARE HERE Women's $4.50 $5,00- $5.95—$0.0,"> Men's $4.50.

Joe Cinders By BILL EOWERMAN OR A SLEUTH OX THE TRACK _ —A X D FIELD What a life that old fox Hay ward has lived. It is in some ways explanatory, perhaps, of why he has had so many Bill Hayward great distance men, and is de v e 1 o p i n g new ones as the old ones leave. Remember the long trek that was put on a few years back, when the activity clubs up and down the coast advertised the Redwoods highway by having red men run from San Francisco to Grants Pass? Colonel Bill trained two of those Indians to run in that race. There was Flying Cloud, who ran for the Grants Pass Cavemen, and Mad Bull who ran for somebody else. The Cloud seemed to be the spokesman for the two red men, who would say to Bill; “Me run where today?” Bill would send them off on a tour to Reedsport for one day and back the next. That is a jaunt of some 90 miles. The Indians had a friend who lived in Salem and had connections with the Chemawa school there. Hayward sent them there to have dinner with their friend in the eve ning, and they came back the next day. Of course there were such little jaunts as up to the McKenzie bridge before breakfast, and af ter lunch excursions to Oakland, a few miles this side of Roseburg. "Ah, I was afraid of those Hopi Indians who ran on the desert,” said Bill, “Especially an old fellow 55 years old who carried a mail route of 125 miles, going one way one day and back the next. Melika was his name, but I figured the cold nights in, the Redwoods would do for him.” Hayward was the jockey or herd rider on Flying Cloud during the race, and had him cover 75 miles the first day out of San Francisco. "That boy would eat a crate of tomatoes a day,” said Hayward, “kept his stomach cool. He would jog along beside the car and hold out his hand and say ‘tomato’ and it would disappear at a gulp.” Hayward pulled his strategy on the Hopis the second day after the big trees were reached. His man got into a little northern Califor nia town just before dark and checked in. After eating he checked out as if to run all night. The Hopis coming in a few hours later, not to be outdone checked right out again and ran through the night. “The cold tied their legs up, just like yours, Bowerman.” The writer got a bit crimson under the collar. “My man didn’t run at night,” said Bill, “I had an air mattress and he slept on the out sckirts of the town.” The Indian got something like $5000 for placing first, and prob ably got a nice piece of change for drinking a bottle of Coca-Cola with the label showing, just after he crossed the finish. What a guy, and just a little foxy. His runners will always win races. Perhaps other men may be potentially faster, but they are pretty hard to beat. Thacher Selected as Judge in Story Contest Prof. W. F. G. Thacher, of the English and business administra tion departments, has been se lected as one of the judges for the Joyce Memorial short story contest conducted at the University of Montana in Missoula. H. G. Merriam, formerly at Reed college in Portland, Ore., is chair man of the English department and supervisor of the contest. ..•s.i3sijj8Apv piwoiug aziuoJiBd,, Frosh Meet With Salem Y Is Called Off Efforts to Locate Other Opponents Fail Trials Held Again Between Frosh And Varsity; Schultz Leads Victors The opportunity for the campus and city track fans to see the frosh cinder aspirants in action to day has fallen through. The frosh were to meet the Salem Y. M. C. A. in a dual meet, but that group of ex-varsity and high school stars is unable to be on the campus to day. An effort was made to schedule a track exhibition with the Winged Omegas from Portland. That group was also unable to be on the campus for today's meet, but will meet the frosh later in the season. Medleys Held As a pre-relay event, Hayward picked three teams composed of varsity and freshmen and staged two sprint medleys yesterday. The first event saw the team captained by Gib Schultz win by a few yards. Bud Shoemake start ed the race and ran 100 yards, passing the baton to Schultz. Schultz kept his lead and gave the baton to A. Smith who passed to Bod Ludington who ran 660 to place first against a team in which Howard Patterson ran first; Bill Bowerman, second; Phil Gambee, third, and Phillips, anchor; and a team headed by Walt Hopson, first; Thomas, second; Marshall Wright, third, and Humphreys, an chor. Relay Is Run The second feature was a three man relay and was won by a team of Julius Scruggs, 100 yardspBow Lawyers Beat B.A. Swatters In Big Ball Contest— Verbally The law school is in quite a tur moil nowadays, judging from snatches of overheard conversation and the appearance of the bulletin board. For, rapidly approaching, is the time of the annual set-to between the business ad and the law school —when, to the tune of cheering bands, members of the two schools clash in a fierce baseball game. “Over the fence isn’t out,” they say—and almost anything is fair. Members of the law school seem to be divided into two sections— the ball players and the band play ers. So far about fifteen have ap plied for positions in the band, signing up on a list which is headed: ALL THOSE OWNING MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS SIGN HERE PLAYING ABILITY NOT NEEDED —Director of law school band. The applications yesterday in cluded cymbals, a fish horn, a tuba, and an accordian. Josephine Rice, only third-year woman stu dent in the law school, submitted a zither; and Carl Coad led the list of applicants with a fife. The baseball recruits are pro ceeding with equal rapidity, ac cording to A1' Schneider, head of the law school team. The first practice is scheduled for Monday, at 2 p. m., in Hayward field. When asked about their chances for winning the oncoming baseball game, law students were not at all hesitant in replying. “You may quote us for publica tion that we have a very good team this year, and will without doubt win,’’ stated Jim Landye; and was then seconded by a large chorus of “Sure, we’ll wax ’em!” However, it is secretly rumored here and there that the above statement is an annual campaign speech of the law school, which occurs as regularly as the base ball set-to occurs. And the fact is that last year the business ad school was victor by 4 to 3. erman, 220, and Patterson, 220. The other teams were Hopson, Wright, and Thomas; and Shoe make, Gambee, and Freeman. Hayward’s men are coming fast, and will be in good early season condition for the relay meet with Oregon State, next Saturday, April 28. Two in Infirmary Two students are now confined to the infirmary, perfect weather has caused the number to drop from six. Those confined are Joe Simpson and Walter J. Gray. Turnbulls Give Dinner Prof, and Mrs. George Turnbull entertained the third section of the reporting class at dinner Friday evening at 6:30 at their home on 1010 E. 20th street. Expert on Prints To Talk Thursday Mrs. Lewis C. Tartley, author ity on Japanese prints, will lec ture upon this subject at a tea to be given by the Oriental art class in the club room in Gerlinger hall next Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Tartley, who is from Salem, has made a life-long study of Jap anese prints. She is an old friend of Mrs. Jessie M. Honeyman, lead er and president of the group, and the two have done art work to gether. Mrs. Henry D. Sheldon, vice president, Mrs. J. M. Miller, Mrs. Rex Sanford, Mrs. George P. Win chell, and Mrs. H. V. Hoyt, are in charge of the tea. It is to be an invitational affair. ) igarettes As to the cigarette paper on Chesterfields ^T'HIS reel of cigarette paper is sufficient to make 42,000 Chesterfield Cigarettes. It is of the fin est manufacture. In texture, in burning quality, in purity, it is as good as money can buy. Cut open a Chesterfield cigarette. Remove the to bacco and hold the paper up to the light. If you know about paper, you will at once note the uniform tex ture— no holes, no light and dark places. Note also its dead white color. If the paper is made right — that is, uniform—the cigarette will burn more evenly. If the paper is made right—there will be no taste to it and there will be no odor from the burning paper. Other manufacturers use good cigarette paper; but there is no better paper made than that used on Chesterfields. You can count on that! (£> 1934.
