VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1934 Page 4 Pressbox Chatter By CLAIR JOHNSON Vision of Rosson as Mighty Medicine Man Of Web foots Is Foiled /CRITICISMS directed at Coach ^ Bill Reinhart and the Oregon ball players, for actions in the Bill Reinhart Idaho and Cou gar games, re ceived a mighty bad jolt yester day when the nine put on an excellent exam ple of just how baseball really should be played in the trimming they handed the Huskies. H o w - ever, with a northern jaunt, in which games will average at least one a day, staring him in the face, Bill is still none too optimistic about the chances of his crop of sophomore athletes. * » * When the Webfoots upset the dope with their victory, another great dream of reorganizing the Oregon athletic department went haywire. Seeing Buck Bailey come roaring in out of the northwest with his spittings, sputterings, and charm bags, and then go chugging out, still as noisy as ever, with a Webfoot scalp . . . hearing of how Tubby Graves, Husky men tor, can shout and voice his opin ions of umpires when the occasion demands ... all this didn’t fit in with a losing Oregon squad and a meek Bill Reinhart sitting on the bench, and only occasionally disagreeing in a mild manner with bellowing Frisco Edwards. Visualizing a new system, one could see Reinhart teaching, “I got it, I got it,” to English stu dents, while Hugh Kosson, Gene Shields, Paul Washlte, or some other rather portly individual would be remade into a charg ing demon of the athletic fields to entertain sports fans in other cities, and stir up some deep, dark magic to overwhelm the evil spirits of Bailey and Graves. Not rubbing it in to Chuck Hoag, but the wisdom of Ray Koch and Joe Gordvn in sticking in school under the supervision of a good coach, despite coast league contracts, was brought home this week by the release handed Hoag by the Portland Beavers. Another year under Reinhart, and Chuck would have had just that much better chance of making the grade. He also would have been a mighty big help to the Ducks in the conference race. One gets a kick out of: . . . Hartley Kneeland trying by telephone to persuude an iceman downtown to bring some ice to the Igloo for the Junior Prom. Finully succeeding, after ex plaining it was to McArthur court. . . . Hurry McCall stretch ing to get a close decision at first. . . . Tom Stoddard getting political votes with a magnifi cent gesture of “let ’em in” when kids broke through a gate at a game last week. . . . Maury Van Yliet beating out an infield hit. . . . Ray ivocli making im possible stops at second like he did yesterday. WEBFOOT NINE GIVES HUSKIES 9 2 TRIMMING (Continued from Pape One) on base, and in tlie final inning when a man got on as Donin gave him a free pass. MeFadden May Throw Harry McCall was bark in ac tion for the Webfoot nine, and al though favoring his spiked ankle a little, edged out several close de cisions at first by good stretching. Don MeFadden or Hon Gemmell are slated to attempt the second trimming of the previously unde feated nine today. The box score is as follows: Washington (ti) B. H. O. A.

The highly touted Washington track men are descending on the local campus with blood in their eyes, and already making plans for a big Indian war-dance to make potent medicine for Mr. Big Chief Stick-in-the-Way (otherwise Bill) Hayward. The war will start at 1:30 this afternoon, with the afore mentioned heap big Seattle tribe and Hayward’s proteges as the combatants. The Huskies are big favorites to accomplish their deadly purpos es, and according to the dope should swing off up the Puget Sound trail with many scalps hang ing at their belts. Another tribe from Oregon, the Corvallis tribe fell prey to the plots of the Husky clan, 92 scalps to 38. Hayward Prepares Traps Hayward, the cunning and crafty leader, however, has laid many bad snares in the path of the invaders. There are different kinds of snares, ranging from the sparkling group of transfer warriors to two of last year's Northwest champions. All these allies need is a little stirring up, and Big Chief Hayward is well known in cinder circles for his adeptness in that line. The Oregon tribe is basing its hope for victory on its strength in the field events. Sachem Gardner Frye, pride of the Northwest in the shot and discus, should have no trouble here. Stanford Smith and Walt Back should pick up a third apiece, as the ambassadors from the Big City of the Fog do not boast the beeg strong type of men, that 1.3, enough to win. Ducks Have Hurdlers The hurdlers are another impor tant part of Oregon's recovery pro gram. The Ducks should cash in on 15 counters, or thereabouts in the high and low hurdles, with Ma son McCoy and Fred Nowland do ing their stuff. By the same token the Webfoots may take a first in, the high jump and broad jump, but Hayward is not stressing his chances of an upset too strongly on the former, as Hawkins, agile Husky brave, has soared into the atmosphere 6 feet 3 inches, about 3 inches better than Nowland's ef fort. Only one Duck runner is favored to win his race, from present in dications. The chosen individual is Bob Wagner* northwest champion in the two mile, who has also been clicking around the mile in cred itable time. He will be abetted in the latter distance by Bob Luding ton and Bill Paddock. Husky Sprinters Strong The Seattle lads have scads of men in other events. Frank Plumb of Washington is highly favored to waltz away with the sprints, but don’t count Bud Shoemake and Walt Hopson of Oregon out. The 440 and half mile are also given to Washington, but by a pitcher, Wintermute; errors: Mc Call, DeLaunay, Hanover, Tesreau, Leiendecker; struck out; Donin 7, Wintermute 3; Bases on balls: Do nin 4, Wintermute 1, O’Brien 2; stolen base: Boulton 2; home run: Weber; 2 base hit: Weber, Gordon, Donin; sacrifice: Clausen 2, Koch, McCall; runs batted in: Koch 3, Hunt 2, DeLaunay 3, Vail 1; hit by pitcher: by Wintermute (Vail); umpire: Frisco Edwards; time 1:45. SAM, Sigma Chi to Play For Donut Softball Titlo Sigma Chi and S.A.M. softball donuteers will meet Monday at 4 on the intramural field to de cide the softball championship. Of 21 teams entered in this in tramural sport over a month ago only these two nines re main. Both squads have won two games and dropped one in the four-league round robin tour ney. The Sammies lost to Sig ma Alpha Epsilon but have beaten the Sigma Chis, while the Sigma Chi nine has trimmed the S.A.E.s twice. With the dope-bucket upset so often, do nut followers are not favoring either team as a sure v^inner. Webfoot Golfers Meet OSC Varsity And Kooks Today Orange Squad Is Leader of Conference Race University of Oregon aial Ore gon State golf players will match strokes on the Eugene country club course this morning, and con tinue through the day. The best ball matches will start at 9:30, and the individual battles in the afternoon. The invading linksmen are top kings in the northern division of the conference. They have lost but one, to Washington, a/id gained eight victories, one 20 to 0>/2 over Oregon. Since last Saturday Coach Tom Stoddard has effected a shake-up in the team in the effort to find a winning combination. Don Ol sen is No. one, John Boyd, No. two, Phil Mulder, only man to win a match for Oregon last Saturday, is No. three, followed by his brother, Jack, Ed Labbe, and Tom Emmons. Stoddard believes that on the country club layout the Ducks may win today. The Oregon freshmen will be out to hold up their end of Duck golf by attempting to hand the Rooks their second straight loss. A bat tle royal is in prospect, when Sid Milligan, Duckling No. one divot digger, clashes with Bob Ingalls, leading Rook player, who scored a 74 on the difficult Corvallis course. Other frosh players will be Ford Young, John Allen, and Blaine Ballah. The yearling matches will start at the same time as the varsity meets. very slight margin. Fred Galer outrun anything California and Oregon State had to offer, and un less Bill Bowerman or Sherwood Burr put on a burst of speed, five points go to the Huskies. The same situation prevails in the 880. where Fred Montgomery appears to have the situation well in hand. George Scharpf or Huber Philips might pick up a few points. The two remaining individual events are quite obviously decided. Bobby Parke, Oregon javelin star, will be out after, a new Northwest record, for he has already tossed the spear 213 feet, which is eight feet beyond Warren Demaris' mark. Oregon has no one who can pole vault over 12 feet, so the Huskies look good there. McCRADY’S CAFE Don’t Forget MOTHER'S DAY Miss Saylor s Chocolates The Perfect Gift “Eugene’s Own Store” McMorran &Washburne MERCHANDISE OF MERIT ONLY -PHONE 2700 You—With Your Mothers Are Invited to View the LANCE WOOD HART EXHIBIT OF ORIGINAL PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS IN THE AFmTORUM Todav and Next Week ADMISSION FREE THIRD FLOOR What Huskies-Ducks Will Try Fny Draper, U.S.C. sprint star, broke the world’s record for tho 220-yard dash in the Trojans’ annual track and field meet with Stan ford. Charlie Paddock's record of 21 seconds, set in 1021, went by the boards when Draper finished in 20.9 seconds. The Trojans won the meet 82 2-3 to 48 1-3. SPE Netmen Win Donut Semi-Finals The S.P.E. doubles team of Bill Angell and Bob Anderson won the deciding match wtih the Phi Sigs, 6-0, 6-2, in the donut tennis semi finals. A few days before, the Sigma Phi Epsilon singles man, Bob Foley, had won his match, while the doubles team of Kendall Lottridge and Edward McKeon dropped theirs, tying the contest between the S.P.E.s and Phi Sigs, one up. By virtue of their victory in the doubles match, the S.P.E. tennis squad will go into the finals Mon day against Phi Gamma Delta. RENNER TAKES OATH OF ASUO PRESIDENT (Continued from Page One) Neely and Earl Thomson. The re maining three members of the squad, Harold Price, John Beard and Harlan Atterbury were not present for the awards. Horace Neely, senior member of the rifle quintet, presented to the student body the silver shield won in the Heart competition by him and his team-mates. Results of Frosh Truck To Re Revealed Sunday Yesterday afternoon on Hay ward field the frosh track team held a telegraphic meet with Idaho and Montana. The Idaho and Montana yearlings were not to be seen as they were running their events in far off Moscow' (Idaho) and Missoula. But the telegraph wires buzzed with the results after the frosh meets were completed. The results have all been wired to Washington State where they will be compiled. The winners will be made know’n Sunday morning hy the public ity department at the Washing ton college. Zeta, Alpha Halls Will Stage Hattie For Softball Cup Digestion League Is Tied Between Two Nines Zeta and Alpha halls are the present leaders in the Digestion league being played between the four halls. The prize at stake is a silver loving cup presented to the winning dormitory softball team each year. At present the cup is held by Friendly hall, now Alpha hall. Zeta is closest to winning the trophy with two wins, one over Sigma hall and one over Omega. Dutch Clark's home run swings, Roy Vander Zanden’s fielding, and Stanley King’s catching have been prime factors in the Zeta victo ries. Alpha hall has also beaten Sig ma and Omega, though not as se verely as the Zeta digestion, leaguers. The Ghrones brothers, Mike and Demosthenes, Bill Ito, Joe Saslavsky, and Frank Michek are the stalwarts upon whom Alpha bases its hopes. The battle of the century, between Zeta and U of O Tennis Team to Meet Beavers at 10 Admission Free; Matches Will Be Played Here; No Prediction as to Result Encounter to Be First for Frosh; Line-up Is Given Oregon net men will play the Oregon State college tennis teams for the first time this year when varsity and freshman squads fight it out at TO o’clock this morning on the University courts. There will be no admission charge. Coach Paul R. VVashks says he is “uncomfortably undecided" as to what the outcome of the meet might be. Since the rather unex pected defeat of the varsity at the hands of the Linfield college rac quet wielders Wednesday, he can do no more than hope for the best, he stated. The varsity line-up has been changed slightly. Singles will be played by Tom Mountain, George Economus, Cosgrove LaBarre, Har lan Thompson, and Norman Win slow in the order named. In the doubles Mountain will pair with Economus, and LaBarre and Fred Fisher are slated to play. The freshmen are expected to put up a tough battle as it is their first real tournament of the sea son. Their previous encounters with the varsity and with Univer sity high have been only practice matches. The frosh will play in the fol lowing order: John Economus, A] Tyson, George Bikman, Howard Kessler, Mike Chrones. Doubles: Economus and Tyson, Bikman and Mel Johnson. Alpha halls, will be staged next Tuesday after dinner on the intra mural field. Women’s Athletics By MARGERY KISSLING THIS week all the archery classes and intramural archers shot Columbia rounds for the postal archery meet. From the scores taken, the eight highest were sent in to represent the Uni versity of Oregon. These eight were then divided into two teams. The first team is composed of Betty Shoe maker, 251 points; Mildred Chapman, 203 paints; Edith Clark, 199 points; and Martha Goodrich. Ellen Hill, lol points, Adeline Adams, 17” points, Jean Frazier, 176 points, and Ethel Thompson, 175 points, are on the second team. Enough tennis matches are be ing played so that Lhe list of en trants is narrowed down consid erably. If good weather predomi nates in the next week or so, the semi-finals should be ready to be run off. Swimmers Live On Watery Diets The University all-campus swim ming contest was postponed yes terday but will be resumed next Monday. About half the events of the water contest have been run. Jim Reed, Francis Oglesby, Leon ard Scroggins, and Chuck Reed are at the present time leading the con test in point standings. The swim mers have stood up under the grueling events remarkably well, swimming several tiring distances each evening. Instead of becom ing stale, the Oregon swimmers seem to thrive on their watery diet, and the Pacific coast records are falling with increasing rapidity. Sometimes a single bale of Turkish tobacco has in it about 43,000 of these tiny tender leaves SUPPLYING the Turkish to bacco for Chesterfield is a business in itself. OUR BUYERS live in each district of Turkey and Greece where leaf tobacco grows. And at Smyrna we have the largest and most modern tobacco plant of its kind in the Near East. At all times Chesterfield has in storage upwards of 350,000 bales of Turkish tobacco. Just as the right seasoning makes food taste better, so the right amount of the right kinds of T urkish tobacco, cross-blended with mild, sweet home-grown tobaccos, makes Chesterfields i milder and makes them taste I better. 1 OJ 1934.1 iccktt A: Mysm Tobacco Co. \qu Americans take our best tobaccos” — the cigarette that’s MILDER — the cigarette that TASTES BETTER
