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.

Callison Observes 1934
Football Prospects
Another Practice Tilt May Be Held
Next Week; Veterans
Turn Out
By G. 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.

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.

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

Relay Is Run
The second feature was a three

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.

The other teams were Hopson,

and will be in good early season
condition for the relay meet with
Oregon State, next Saturday,
April 28.

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!
