UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1934

Vail Is Man of Varied
Ability; Bruno Given
His Deserved Publicity
rpHE man who puts on the catch
er's mitt for Oregon in the
season’s baseball opener against
Oregon State Friday afternoon on
Reinhart field -will be none other
than Mickey Vail.
It is surprising how many things
Mickey does, and not only does
but does well. He is the kid that
organized Oregon's tumbling cheer
leaders that brought so much fa
vorable comment when they per
formed at the big football games
last fall.
If (lie basketball fans will
think back to last basketball
season, yes, and the one a year
ago too, they will remember
that it. was Mickey who per
formed on the high bar and
brought gasps of appreciation
from the audience as he swung
into the giant swing. 1 was
talking to Mick the other day
about the gasps of the crowd as
he looped over the bar and in
quired if he could hear them.
“Hear them,” said Mik, “I wait
for that gasp and it pushes me
over.”
A fellow that can perform on
the gymnastic apparatus like
that W'ould make a wow of a
pole vaulter, and Hill Hayward
knows it.
*■ * *
Oh yeh! It. was Mik who used
to appear with Red Bailey in
comic tumbling to entertain the
crowd at basketball games or any
other function that needed a bit
of stimulus. And did they enter
tain ? The crowd was always con
vulsed by their antics.
It is only proper, I suppose, that
versatile, vigorous Mick should
perform behind the plate at the
baseball games. Who is better
qualified co carry on ihat contin
ual line of chatter that is so an
noying to the batter, but gives
the pitcher a lift in the pinches,
and who will cover those short
bunts better than Mick, who is as
much at home flying through the
air on gymnastic apparatus as he
is on the ground picking up one of
those bounding bunts and slapping
it down to first.
Hi * *
One of Oregon’s canines has
come to the fore, and because he
has not received the proper pub
licity he breaks in here. In last
Saturday’s pet parade which saw
millions of dogs and kids entered,
the Beta Bernard, Bruno, managed
to get in with some tike and get
a prize. Wally Hug was quite
incensed because the tike would
not split with him.
The sport that lias its fling for
one week dining the year lias
made one worthy contribution to
the University that Is quite lil
ting. The Pioneer and Pioneer
mother can both look down the '
campus toward Condon and see
the buffalo which was their sus
tenance as they crossed the
plains. If the class of ’81 will
donate a tribe of Indians the
atmosphere will be complete.

place. Thus the Mexican school
system now being established ap
pears to be an individually cooper
ative as well as a public matter.
Another entirely new idea is a
recent law in Mexico that every
student of medicine on graduating
has to go about the country for a
year with no aid except his fare,
giving free service, and instruct
ing the rural teachers, in payment
for the education which he received
from the state. Thus all Mexican
communities wil lhave a good med
ical service in the newly estab
lished rural schools.
The man who is back of the vol
unteer work is Aloises Saenz, S. C.
D., who tdught in the University
of Oregon summer school during
one session several years ago. It
was Saenz, too, who sent Dr.
Wright the collection of brightly
colored posters which graphically
tell the story of Mexican teachings,
and which bear silent but clear
witness to the newly organized
system of rural education, which,
according to John Dewey. Colum
bia university educator, is "the
most vital school that X have
known in the world."

Donu t Teams
Remain Tied
As Leaders
Fijis and Yeomen Run
Large Score's
Theta Chi and Sigma Chi Knotted
For League* I Title;
I'layoffs Later
No now league leaders were de
termined in last night’s donut soft
ball games and playoff contests
will have to be held to pick leaders
in League I and IX. Sigma Chi
and Theta Chi are knotted for one
leadership, while the Yeomen; Fi
jis, and A. T. O. nines are in a
three way tie for the other title.
The weather favored last night's
games. Yet^ if one were to judge
the contests by the errors made,
it would seem that it was the night
when the ball was slippery, the in
field playing a matter of sliding,
and the hits correspondingly nu
merous.
The Fijis and Yeomen went wild
to run up 28 and 27 runs against
their opponents. The Phi Delts
failed to show up for their sched
uled clash with Alpha hall and the
umpire declared the game a for
feit to the hall nine. The games
follow:
Fiji, 28; Phi Psi, 5
Starting at scratch the Fiji and
Phi Psi softball nines battled even
ly for four innings. Ray Mize,
pitching for the Fijis, had good
control of the ball. He fanned an
average of one man an inning. On
the receiving end, Tom Aughin
baugh distinguished himself by
several side-walk catches of foul
balls. Rourke grinned on third
base, and with Dave Crosse and
Jim Schofield kepL the pegs good
to Bill White on first. Bill Van
Dam on first, and Red Mulhall be
hind the platter, were the Phi Psis
stars. Hargraves proved to be a
better batter than pitcher Ipy
knocking the only two homers of
the game.*
In the fifth inning the Fiji sav
ages staged a regular old Metho
dist revival meeting. As in a shoot
ing meet, the Phi Psi pitcher reg
ularly threw the clay pigeons and
the Fiji trapshooters plunked it
off just as regularly. At the end
of the spree, the Fijis had added
ten more points to their score. In
the sixth it was even worse. With
tears in his eyes, the scorekeeper
cried out for an adding machine.
The Fijis came up to bat three
times in one inning and on assort
ed hits they had scored 10 runs.
Betas, 8; Sigma Hall, 0
The Beta-Sigma hall tilt was
purely an infield affair. The out
fielders might just as well have
brought camp chairs and slept
through the torrid seven inning
game. Several times, however, the
Beta infield nearly lost its lily
white reputation. In one instance
Bogue and Don Siegmund present
ed their breathless audience with a
juggling act of a mean pop fly. Not
to be outdone, Spike Powers and
Don Emery brazenly duplicated
the feat a moment later.
The Beta battery of Powers and
Bud Jones was not quite as good
as the hall battery of Blantz and
Little. Wendel played a good game
on the second sack for the hall
boys.
Delts, 7; Omega Hall, 2
The Delt donuteers rang up an
other victory by downing the Ome
ga men 7 to 2. in a game called
for only five innings by mutual
agreement. The Delts started off
with a bang, tallying runs from
Lees, Owen and Hides in the first
inning. Lindsay on first and Swen
son tin third split honors among
the Delta Tau Delta nine. The Delt
battery of Hides and Lees put on
a good show.
Omega hall had a good pitcher
in Bob Kidder, with support from
Wendell Moore on third anti Bik
man on second. Lundye, left field
er, was the hitter of the day per
sonally accounting for both of
Omega's scorers, one a homer, Led
by Landye's homer in the fifth and
last inning, the hall aggregation
was making a desperate rally, but
the Delt ,outfit was oto much for j
them. Lees caught the third bat-[
tor's foul to end the game.
mem fin, riu sir, ;i
Kimmel, Theta Chi mascot, dug
his first hole in diamond two and
tiie Theta Chi-Phi Sig game was
on. Theta Chi took a comfortable
lead from the first. By the time
Kimmel had started his fifth exca
vation, Brown, Theta Chi first
baseman, had looped a homer and
three other runs and the score
stood 17 to 5 for the hill team.
Both Harrow of the Phi Sigs and
Granger of Theta Chi, turned in

Frosh Ball Club
Continues Series
Of Practice l ilts
Trim High School Nine and Lose
To Townies; Miller Flays
First
The Oregon freshman baseball
team, under the direction of Lieu
tenant Edward Kelley, continued
its series of practice clashes with
local nines last night when they
met a team composed of Eugene
townies and super varsity men.
The night before the yearlings met
Frank Fasset's Eugene high school
squad in a contest, which like the
others was of less than five in
nings duration.
With the aid of Earl Bucknum
and Marvin Stroble as a battery
the town team led the babes in
last night's clash. The previous
night the high school team for
feited, when, with rain coming on,
the frosh, who had the game
sewed up, deliberately made out
in order to extend the contest to
regulation length before the rain
stopped it.
A shift by the frosh mentor now
has Aaron Miller on first and his
predecessor, John Lewis, occupying
second. The other posts remain
the same with Sam Liebowitz and
L. Lyda completing the infield,
Arne Faust, John Thomas, and
Cocky Brewer or Bob Wiltshire in
the outer gardens and Dick Bishop
behind the plate.
Swimming Sport
Plans Indefinite
In regard to making swimming
a major sport Hugh E. Rosson,
graduate manager, made the fol
lowing statement:
"The executive and athletic
councils both took action on the
suggestion to make swimming a
major sport with the feeling that
conditions regarding next year are
so unsettled that it would not be
advisable to make comrnenL on
setting up an additional major
sport. It is almost impossible to
make definite plans for next year
until the law matters concerning
the student body fees have been
determined by the state board of
higher education.”
Tom Tongue, student body pres
ident, confirmed this statement,
saying that no final action could
be taken until the state board had
taken definite steps regarding the
student body fee situation.
Phi Sig players. A pleasant diver
sion came in the fifth inning when
Bill Phipps took, over hte pitching
job for Phi Sig and Parks Hitch
cock took over the heckling posi
tion for Theta Chi. Just to spite
the low, gutteral tones of Theta
Chi's tenth player, the Phi Sigs
staged a rally in the last inning.
Bui it ended in vain when Theta
Chi won 18 to 9.
Yeomen, 21; Chi 1’si, 1
Running up 24 points in two
innings, the Yeomen donuteers
were content to rest on their laur
els and use substitutes in the re
maining five innings. The two
Yeomen pitchers, Rothenberger
and Speer, both pitched fine ball.
In addition Rothenberger scored
four runs in two innings. The
whole Yeomen team proved to be
a hard-hitting aggregation, and
with Shellenberger guarding the
initial sack and Tom Mountain
talking it up behind the bat the
independents had little to fear from
the fraternity donuteers.
Jim Wells, Chi Psi pitcher, and
Cy Cook, fielder, came breathless
ly running onto the diamond in the
second inning to save the game.
But they were too late. They had
the infield and the outfield, but
they didn't have the batters. Fum
bling and too speedy pegs were
the cause of their trouble. Haber
Inch slid desperately into home,
bowling over catcher Bill Johnson,
to score Chi Psi’s lone run.

Not satisfied with a team bat
ting average of .310 in the series
of preconference contests, Coach
Billy Reinhart continued to place
emphasis on the hitting part of
the game ;n the practice session
last night.
After a long workout of straight
batting practice, two teams were
chosen and with Jack Todd, Ike
Donin, and Ron Gemmell taking
their turn in the box, the rest of
the athletes had plenty of chance
to test their power with the stick.
Lineup Is Same
The regular lineup remained the
same as it has been in all games
so far. For the second string boys
Homer Goulet was behind the
plate, Hugh McCredie, Bill Moore,
Eddie Vail, and Ivan Elliott in the
infield, and Earle Vossen, Ossie
Edwards, and Jack Thuneman in
the outfield. Other members of
the super varsity joined the Eu
gene townies in a practice clash
with the frosh.
Ray Koch, regular second sacker.
leads the individual batting of the
Webfoot nine to date with a total
of 11 bingles in 23 times at the
plate for an average of .478. Joe
Gordon and Maury Van Vliet fol
low close behind with 11 and 10
safeties, respectively.
