Duck Tracks By CLAIR JOHNSON / Emerald Sports Editor ‘Sawdust Field’ Dick ‘Turf Field’ Gregory Say Sweetest Things A FTER a couple weeks of pass ing sweet sayings back and forth it begins to look as though Dick “Sawdust-field” Johnston, sports editor of the Guard, has sort of silenced the outbreaks of L. H. “Turf-field” Gregory, his opponent in the verbal barrage concerning what kind of grid fields Oregon, O.S.C., and Multnomah field should have. * * * Johnston, like the majority of football fans hereabouts, acknowl edges the benefits of turf fields which have been listed and com mented on by Gregory. But John ston says, and very wisely, that it is not advisable to turf Hayward field. * * * His reasons are, of course, fi nancial and also the fact that due to the few number of games played here—only two this year and one of those before rain set in—the turfing is really not essential. And then Johnston rang the bell a few more times when he quoted the radio announcer at the Idaho game. Moscow has a turf field, but according to what came over the air the two teams were slid ing and mushing around in a regu lar sea of mud, while the Frosh and Sons here on sawdusty Hay ward field only had a slightly sog gy area to perform on. * * * However, just to be polite, and really using good judgment doing it, “Sawdust-field” acknowledges it would not be a half bad idea to let Multnomah field receive a turf ing. Not actually suggesting so, but with quite strong implications, he imparts the idea that “Turf field” hereafter direct his untiring energies seeing that the Portland field is turfed. * * Reasons suggested for having this matter taken care of are that most of the games both the Bea vers and Webfoots play are held there and it is Portland spectators who get the benefits so let them or the Multnomah club pay for the same. * * * This does not seem quite the squarest thing to shove all the burden one way though, so why not have Rosson, Lodell, Richard son, and others interested get to gether and work out some plan where the expense might be shared evenly all around. Anyhow it is quite evident that Hayward field will not be turfed for some time so no doubt it would be the best thing for everyone if all the energy was centered on. seeing the Portland gridiron real ly fixed up like other schools of any importance around the coun try have.

Donut Basketball Season Starts PIGSKIN PORTRAITS Phi Sig9 Beta Waterpoloist Win Matches Hoffman, Hurd, Cathey, Hug Are Stars Yeomen Get Forfeit Win From D.U.; Pi Kaps, Sig Clii Lose Today's Schedule 4:00—Alpha Tau Omega vs. Phi Kappa Psi. 4:40—Sigma Nu vs. Phi Gam ma Delta. 5:20—Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. Sigma Alpha Mu. For two whole periods yesterday it looked as if the mighty Betas had met their equal in the fighting Sigma Chis, but in the extra pe riods the defending water polo champions cut loose with a variety of plays to win, 5 to 0, and to out shine all their fellow poloists in the second day of competition. Verne Hoffman, a numeral man in swimming, cut loose with five goals, to score every point for Phi Sigma Kappa, who crunched the Pi Kaps, 5 to 1 in the 5:20 feature. D.U.’s Default Referee Francis Oglesby, a busy man in the meet, took a squat on the sidelines when Delta Upsilon failed to appear, forfeiting to the independent Yeomen in the third scheduled set-to. Aiding the Beta Theta Pi fra ternity in their eleventh-hour vic tory were James Hurd, the swim ming sensation, who tossed two goals into the hemp, Wally Hug who slipped in one of his own be sides b.c.’ing a pass from Ralph Cathey, and Chuck Reed who ac counted for number 5. Hoffman Hot In the last clash the Pi Kappa Alphas could not cover Hoffman, who slung ’em in from all angles, and who appeared to be much more experienced in the bath game. However, C. Weintz slipped by the guards in the second quarter, and finding Goalie Bill Moore loafing, pushed one into the net for the Pi Kaps. These scrimmages will continue by elimination till the 31st of the month, when the winner will be decided.

Four Students Now in University Infirmary A large decrease in the number of patients at the infirmary and the rainy weather outside has caused even a nurse to take up knitting. Miss Colahan, in her ! spare moments, which are ordinar ily very few, has started knitting ! a sweater. She stated that if this | weather prevails, it will probably be but a few days until the infirm ary begins to fill again and her j spare moments will vanish as sud | denly as they came. In the infirmaiy at present are: Eileen Loud, Leonard Anderson, . William . Martin, and Jeanette On Toboggan? I “Scooter” Warburton, U.S.C. quarterback who made all-Ameri can last year, is the boy with the mask. Unless he shows a big' pick up, however, there is no danger of him repeating last year's success.

GARDNER FRYE Hard luck has been camping on Gardner Frye’s doorstep so long Oregon fans are beginning to think it is a fixture. For three varsity seasons now the Webfoot tackle has donned his football togs only to be injured at the first of the year. At the start of this, his third season, Webfoot rooters again sad ly noted his 195 pounds draped over the bench where Colonel Bill Hayward had relegated him... He had wrenched his back in early practices, * * * But when the day of the Wash ington game rolled around Frye was in the Webfoot line and played so aggressively the bleacher stu dents of the game hardly knew he had been injured. Frye also took a part in last week’s victory over Idaho. * * * Last spring his length shot puts earned the muscular Mr. Frye the monicker “Popeye.” And the title has stuck through the football season. The namesake of the spin ach-eating comic strip character is the “grandpa” of Oregon’s 1934 footballists. His bowed and gray ing head has seen 25 summers. Other members of the squad aver age a juvenile 20 years. at least 10 minutes after the scheduled time or the contest will be declared forfeited.
