Keep abreast of the sport news of your University if you are not actively a participant. VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1934 Page 4 Joe Cinders By BILL BOWERMAN _ Sports Calendar Full For This Week; Dark Ball Club Looks Good With the track season opening up officially this coming Saturday, the first baseball game with Ore gon State booked for the week-end, and the student body elections slated for Thursday, the campus will be in for a full week of sports activity. Colonel Hayward is going to have his hands full figuring his winners in eight events. Four men in each event would take 32 run ners if each man ran only in one race. Some of the veterans will be slated for two races, and if they are in too fine fettle will be work horses for possibly three races. In the relays with Oregon State two years ago three records were broken by the Oregon runners, three men taking part in the breaking of all three records. That was when those glorious competi tors John Marrs, Art Holman and Paul Starr were tearing up the cinders on Hayward field. Some of Bill’s runners have the ability to match that performance, but it still remains to be seen if they have that same competitive spirit. * * • The baseball fans who follow the Oregon team will have a chance to have their eyes opened when they see the Oregon infield sparkle under real conference competition. There is something there. It is the best infield, or looks to be in pre-season performance, Oregon has had in years. I have yet to see Harry McCall with his shirt tail in. He jaunts out toward the first base sack with his legs and arms setting their own pace independent of that shirt tail. But how that right fin laps up the baseballs when he is holding down tirst base. He is a southpaw and stands out there in his section in his disjointed, un concerned manner carrying on a continual chatter in his lazy drawl. In the game with Ldnlield last Saturday he stood non-commitally looking on while Ossie Edwards sent the last strike past a Linfield batter who whiffled so hard that the bat flew directly to Mark De Launey on third base. McCall watched DeLauney doing a dance to dodge the bat, picked up a handful of dust, blew it out, and drawled “Nice stawp, Marcus.” But that right flipper devouring those tosses to first! It reminds me of nothing so much as a gold fish reaching out and taking in an air bubble which disappears com pletely. Joe Gordon runs around in the short stop position in an alarming manner. He’s a ball player. He takes it easy in his garden until the crack of a bat tells him that one is coming his way then he is after it and makes the hard ones look easy. A lot of those low, hard balls that should be hits are going to run into double plays if Gordon keeps up the pace he is going. Ray Koch plays much the same type of ball that Gordon does, tak ing it easy with possibly just u bit more chatter. He is not skipping all over the infield, but seems to sense where the ball is going by the crack of the bat and is there waiting to welcome it anti whips it to a base like a bullet. Both Koch and Got don waft a wicked willow, and have that home run punch in the pinches. DeLauney on third has the hot test coiner of all. He is not quite so sure of himself as Gordon and Koch, but he looks mighty nice on those sizzling ground balls that get so many men to first. Allen Named on Committee Dean Eric YV. Allen, of the school of journalism, has been named on the program committee for the Oregon State Editorial as sociation's convention at Koseburg June 22 and 23. The committee will meet in Portland Saturday, April 28. iniHiiiii Everyone Else Does CAMPUS SHOE REPAIR s Look at Your ® Heels i If they don’t look so good, bring them in and have some new ones put H on your shoes. S H Across ffom Sigma Chi I Right on the Campus • WebfootNine Hands Linfield 8 to 4 Beating Reinhart Prepares Team For O.S.C. Tilt Edwards Lends Team to Victory; Koch Connects for Home Him Coach Bill Reinhart and the Oregon varsity baseball nine, with only three more days of practice before the conference opener Fri day against the Oregon State Bea vers, were driven inside last night by rain after only a few minutes on the diamond and the session was stopped after a short workout inside the Tgloo. The Ducks will go into their con ference schedule after having won six and lost one of the preconfer ence games—the final victory be ing rung up last Saturday on Rein hart field against Linfield college by an 8 to 4 score. Edwards Slars Ossie Edwards led the Webfoots in their victory as he struck out nine batters and pitched three-hit ball, although walking 10 men, and drove out three hits in as many trips to the plate. Ray Koch con tributed a circuit clout in the fourth, which with the other Duck hits brought their total for the day to ten. The winning nine wasn’t at all slow in putting the game on ice when they opened in the initial inn ing with a drive that retted six runs. Hits by Maury Van Vliet, Earle Vossen, Con Fury and Ed wards, two walks, and an error led to the six tallies. McCall Scores Harry McCall added another run to the Webfoot total in the third when he reached first on an error, stole second, continued to the next base on a slip-up by the Linfieid man covering that position, and waltzed home on a single by Con Fury. The final score for the Lem on-Yellow wns in the following canto when Koch drove out his four-base drive. Mark DeLauney, who in Friday’s game gave up his position to Ivan Elliott, was back on third again in this contest. Earl Bucknum went into the box in the seventh and finished the game without al lowing any hits. Neely, on first for the opposing nine, was the fielding and hitting star of that team. He contributed his pari in three double plays and scored two safe hits, one a homer in the sixth with two men on the paths. The other Linfield tally came in the seventh by virtue of a walk and two errors. I.IIH'lipS tilVOII The box score was as follows: Bin field Neely, lb ..... McGowan, 3b . Voll, 2b . Helser, cf .

Reinhart Announces Basketball Practice Tonight at 8 in Igloo Bill Reinhart has announced a spring practice session in basketball for the candidates for next year’s varsity team at 8 o'clock tonight at the Igloo. | The nucleus of next year’s squad is headed by Bill Berg, captain-elect, and Bud and Wil ly Jones. These veterans of Oregon’s northwest runner-up team are assisting Reinhart with the fundamental and team drill for last year’s freshman and super-varsity squad. Varsity Net Team Trims Yearlings Six Straight Tilts Season Opener Is Slated for Next Saturday Against Fast IJnfield Squad In the final warm-up matches prior to the opening of the Oregon tennis season, April 28, the varsity tennis team swamped the frosh in six straight games last Saturday. Although the meet was marred by the absence of the number four men, Fred Fisher, varsity, and George Bikman, frosh, all signs pointed encouragingly towards vic tory o’ er Linfield next Saturday at McMinnville. In the doubles especially, but also in the singles, constant im provement has been noticed in the play of the squad as a whole. Also the team is farther along in con dition this year than they were last year at the same time, due perhaps to the favorable weather this spring. Results of Saturday’s matches were as follows: Tom Mountain beat John Econ omus 6-4, 6-2; George Economus defeated A1 Tyson 6-3, 6-2; Cos grove LaBarre beat Howard Kess ler 6-3, 6-1; and Harlan Thompson was victor over Michel Chrones 63, 6-1; in the singles contests. For the doubles LaBarre and Economus defeated Tyson and Economus 6-3, 6-2; and Pubols and Newton trimmed Cliiuiies and Kessler 6-3, 6-1. POLITICAL STUNTS MORE PLENTIFUL IN VOTE RACE (Continued Prom Pac/c One) Mel Johnson and A1 Davis, re spectively, reveals that each has the election “sewed up" by a very small margin. This would iridi-. cate that it is anybody’s race. A threatened withdrawal from the Davis ticket by one of the larger houses caused a near panic, but ,the difficulty was sur rounded and the house returned to the fold. The present lineup is nine to eight in favor of Davis, which is as close as it can possibly be with an odd number of houses. All of the houses with one ex ception pledged to Bauer in the student body race are also with Johnson on the sophomore class ticket, and every Davis house is also flying a Renner banner. The only discrepancy in the situation is that a few Renner houses have freshman favoring Johnson. Lone Tickets In Field There being only one ticket in the field for both junior and sen ior class offices, the candidates of these classes are nonchalantly sit ting in their easy chairs coasting to victory, there being only a tech nical possibility of some candi date's name being written in on the ballot to win a post. Bauer's colleagues in the A. S. tO. race are Bill Berg for vice president; Gail McCredie, secre tary; Ed Miller, executive man; Althea Peterson, senior woman; and Cosgrove LaBarre, junior man. Those running under ihe Renner flag are Norman Lauritz, vice president; Nancy Archbold, secre tary; Biff Nilsson, executive man; Elizabeth Bendstrup, senior wo man; and Howard Patterson, jun ior man. Davis' lineup in the sophomore puddle is Helen Dodds, vice-presi dent; Betty Coon, secretary; and John Thomas, treasurer. Johnson's ticket reads Dorothy Hagg, vice president; Louise Latham,% secre tary; and Dale Hardisty, treas urer. Tire Firm Interviews Seniors for Positions Three men to handle business in the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. are being searched for by A. J. Stephens, Firestone representative, this week. Stephens is interviewing seniors and graduates in the school of bus iness administration and depart ment of economics. The men ac cepted will be put to work in the service of the Firestone company. After gathering a certain amount , of experience, they will be given positions as managers.. This is the second year that the i Firestone company has conducted 1 these interviews. Magazine Has Life-Saving Test Results Boushey, Hoyman Hold Experiments Physical Education Publication Contains Article by Two Oregon Men Two University of Oregon physi cal education instructors, Earl E. Boushey and H. S. Hoyman, have been conducting a series of orig inal life saving experiments in a special class of advance swimming students. The results of their ex periments have recently been pub lished in the Journal of Health and Physical Education, the national monthly magazine sponsored by the American Physical Education association. Beginning Lheir article with the startling statement that 70,000 Americans have been drowned in the last decade, the two author instructors went on to say that a life saver must know how to break the desperate clutch of a drowning person. Many amateur attempts at life saving result in a double death, for the drowning person will instinctively cling to his rescuer, dragging both himself and the would-be life-saver under water. Methods Original While several manuals and books have suggested methods of freeing one's self from such a grasp, these methods were more theoretical than practical. The ex periments of Boushey and Hoyman were, therefore, of an original na ture in this field of physical edu cation. The two instructors reached the conclusion that such holds might best be broken by application of modern wrestling principles. So first the class of 20 advanced swimmers was given a basic wrest ling knowledge. Then, these swim mers were put to their first tests in fhe pool. When grasped in sim ple body holds the swimmers tried violent struggling and then grew panicky. All verbal advice to keep Seal Pilot i j I i Jimmy Caveney, above, is man-1 ager of the San Francisco Seals, i who at present hold forth in third I position, right behind the league leading Los Angeles and Mission nines, in the race for the title in the Pacific Coast league competi tion. cool and use your head was to no avail when the students were held for any great length of time under water. Use Wrestling Holds Soon the two instructors hit upon the invention of "water wrestling.” After a tew weeks of practice in this strenuous game, the students soon learned to break holds while under water and to ward off their opponents. It was found that the five holds most used were the front body grasp, rear body grasp, headlock, front strangle, rear strangle. Many types of releases were discovered for these five holds, but these were tried until the best release for each hold was found. A release had to be made within ten seconds to be successful. Mike Hoyman, swimming in structor, and Clark Thompson, one of his advanced students posed for pictures showing the various steps in gaining release from the five main grasps. These illustrations cover two pages of the magazine. “Patronize Emerald Advertisers.” Track Season Slated to Open Next Saturday Two Relay Events to Be Close Races Hopson, Shoemake, Patterson, and McCoy Make Up Duck 440 Team Saturday afternoon will be the opening of the University of Ore gon track season with the Oregon. State college tracksters in a relay meet on Hayward field. Hayward has been holding time competition during, the past sever al practice sessions in order to de cide which men will wear the green and lemon in the eight different relay events that will feature the meet. Relay Is Fast The 440 yard relay will be one of the high spots of the afternoon. Each man runs 110 yards, and the ability to pass the baton as well as individual speed plays a big part in the winning of the race. In that event Walter Hopson and Bud Shoemake will undoubtedly run, with Howard Patterson and Ma son McCoy running in the other two positions. Coach Swan of Oregon State will have a bevy of fine sprinters to pick from. Red Franklin, Oregon State's all-American halfback will head the list. The Patrick twins, and Charles Fyock, holder of the state interscholastic 100-yard dash record are favored to appear in the sprint relay. The shuttle relay should find Oregon in the favorite position with two veteran hurdlers, Mason McCoy and Crash Nowland, both in good form, and Arne Lindgren, Stew Milligan, and Art Dudley to choose from for the other two po sitions. The shuttle relay is always a great gamble because of the chance of hitting a hurdle and los ing any possible advantage. The other short events will he the 880 yard relay, the sprint med ley, and the mile reli*/. The long er distances will be the two mile and four mile events. Intramural Softball Schedule to Remain Unchanged for Today The regular schedule of in tramural softball games will be adhered to this afternoon and the contests originally scheduled for Monday will take place on Wednesday unless future chang es in the listings are necessary. Today's games are as follows: 4:00 Diamond 1— Kappa Sigma vs. Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Diamond 2 Delta Upsilon vs. Delta Tau Delta. Diamond 3 Sigma Alpha Mu vs. Beta Theta Pi. Hug and Oglesby Win Place at Meet In the Oregon state indoor swim ming meet held last week at the Multnomah' athletic club in Port land two of the Webfoot varsity swimmers participated and placed in one of the events. Frances Og lesby and Wallace Hug took second and third respectively in the 100 yard. dash which was won by Thomas, a member of the Multno mah athletic club. Both men were members of this year’s fast stepping Oregon swim ming team, which under the direc tion of Coach Mike Hoyrnan, suf - fered defeat only twice all season, once to the M. A. C. and the other time in the northwest meet. Mrs. Tiiacher to Present Recital Mrs. Jane Thacher, professor of music, will present a piano recital at her home this morning at 10 o'clock. It will be the second mu sical presentation in the spring se ries sponsored by the Music Study club. Composers such as Gluck, Mo zart, Brahms, Chopin, Paderewski, Griffes, Scriabine and Moszkowski will be featured by Mrs. Thacher, who is regarded as one of the out standing women pianists of the country. At the first spring meeting of the club, John .1.
