Beat the Beavers

Bluebird V reaches 100 miles an
hour in an instant. Sir Malcolm
Campbell doesn't even get ready
to shift into high until his seven
ton projectile hits 200 m. p. h.
Campbell hopes to attain 300 m.
p. h.—travel at the incredible land
speed of a mile in 12 seconds, when
the tide irons out and bakes the
silica sand at. Daytona Beach.
Sir Malcolm shot the record up
to 272.10S m. p h. in a two-way
trial on the 11-mile Florida trip
two years ago.
That’s more than twice as fast
as Gene Sarazen drives a golf ball,
more than three times as fast as
Walter Johnson threw a baseball,
as tests have proven, and almost
four times faster than a nerve im
pulse. Bluebird V covered 400 feet
while the perfect British sports
man's brain flashed a message to
his steering hands.
How does it feel to drive a land
mile in a shade more than 13 sec
onds ? Campbell describes his re
actions vividly in writing his im
pressions for the “Book of Speed."
“At the signal ‘beach clear,’ I
shout, ‘Contact!’ Two mechanics
spring to the gas starter. Puffs of
black smoke pour from the exhaust
pipes, followed by tongues of flame
as the 2500 horsepower Rolls
Royce motor springs to life. The
roar from my monster is deafening.
"I engage low gear. I stick her
in second gear and the flags lining
the straightaway flatten out to
solid streaks of color. My engine
revolutions counter indicate 180
miles an hour.
“I never feel happy until I en
gage high gear. Now I can settle
myself in the cockpit and concen
trate on steering a bull’s-eye
course. I wedge myself in with my
left foot, using all my force in so
doing to insure keeping the accel
eration down hard with my right
foot.
“A quick glance at the tachom
eter shows 2800 revolutions per
minute, or about 245 miles an hour.
I must do better. Oh, why won't
she pick up speed quicker? Never
mind—the entrance to the meas
ured mile is still out of sight.
"Bluebird is getting difficult to
hold. The rear end starts swing
ing—wretched sensation! Now
comes an awful fight. She snakes
this way and that. We hit a bump.
The tachometer needle vibrates
wildly. That means terrific wheel
spin. How I wrestle to keep her
dead straight!
“We shoot into the lower end of
the measured mile. I must sneak
a look at the revolution indicator.
By Gad! It shows just over 300
miles an hour! How much am I
losing in wheel slip? That worries
me.
“There goes the end of the mile.
Another quick glance at the revo
lution indicator reveals the equiva
dent of 320 miles per hour.
“Now comes the ticklish moment
as ever so gradually I start easing
my foot off the gas pedal. What a
relief when the throttle finally is
shut! Still we speed on and on. I
feel at the mercy of the car. Will
she never slow down ? It would be
fatal to apply the brakes at such
speed. I must just sit here until
the old Bluebird decides to behave.
“At last the speed slackens and
I glimpse the motor lorries of my
mechanics far ahead. Now I press
the brake a bit, overshoot my gang
and stop. They lift me from the
cockpit. My arms and wrists ache
like nothing on earth.
“A motorcycle courier drones up.

Seven bone crushers and a like
number of the cauliflower-making
gentry will journey to Corvallis,
tonight to uphold the honor of the
University on the mat and in the
squared ring. The smoker at which
they will show their stuff against
the cream of the OSC crop of fight
ers is being put on by the Varsity
O club, and festivities will begin
at 8:00 p. m.
Last year the Order of the O put

oppose the Webfeet went home
with most of the honors of the
evening. Tonight, however, the
Oregon representatives are deter
mined to bring back with them
some of these lost titles.
Elaborate plans have been made
by the Oregon State club and they
have secured the services of Tom
Louttit, prominent athletic official
from Portland, who will referee all
the bouts. A raised ring has been
secured and will be placed in the
middle of the men's gym. Bleach
ers will be assembled around it,
and it is estimated that they will
hold 2000 persons comfortably.
several good bouts in both the
boxing and wrestling cards are ex
pected. The wrestling match be
tween Tom Mountain, University
grappler, and Ed Cornwell, OSC,
is expected to be a humdinger. El
ton Owen and Omar Noles are also
well matched and should provide
the fans with a good exhibition.
Bradshaw Meets Aylesworth
In the boxing end of the smoker
there are also a couple of good
fights expected. Joe Bradshaw,
pride of the campus, will meet
Larry Aylesworth, Oregon State
middleweight champ, Comet Gib
son will tangle with Ike Nichols in
the welterweight class, and Dayton
Stoddard meets Cliff Conrad in the
155-pound division.
The complete card is as follow's:
Wrestling
125 pounds—Spider Watkins, U.
of O. vs. “Strong-man” Samson,
O.S.C.
135 pounds—Brian Ryan, U. of
O. vs. Amo De Bernardis, O.S.C.
145 pounds—Boyd Hawkins, U.
of O. vs. Bill Deitrich, O.S.C.
155 pounds—Tom Mountain, U.
of O. vs. Ed Cornwell, O.S.C.
165 pounds—Elton Gw'en, U. of
O. vs. Omar Noles, O.S.C.
175 pounds—Johnny Reischmann,
U. of O. vs. Bill Kopczak, O.S.C.
He hands me a slip reading ‘273.8
miles per hour.’ What a disap
pointment! I had hoped for 300 at
least. It felt like it, but that awful
wheel slip cut down our speed.
“In 10 minutes the tires are
changed. I must get on with the
return journey—since it is a two
way trial run. I ache all over and
wish I could lie basking in the
sun.”

In Final Practice
Meet Tomorrow
Hayward Makes New Plan
For Relays
Tomorrow afternoon at 2:15 the
last series of inter-squad track
meets will be run off on Hayward

the intramural relay carnival
which will be run off next Satur
day.
Several good races are scheduled
for ■tomorrow’s show, with the
track aspirants running full dis
tances for the first time this year.
The varsity hundred yard dash
should be a thriller, as should the
440 and 880 yard runs.
Colonel Hayward announced yes
terday afternoon that men who
have been turning out regularly for
some sport will be allowed to fill
in on the relay team of their or
ganization where there are vacan
cies. They must, however, secure
proof of their participation in
another sport before they will be
allowed to run.
The following events will be run
off tomorrow: 100-yard dash for
varsity and freshmen; the mile run
for varsity and freshmen; 440-yard
dash for varsity and freshmen; 90
yard high hurdles for mixed com
petition; 880-yard run for mixed

Swimming Team
Off for Seattle
And Husky Meet
Hoy man Takes Ten Man
Team on Jaunt
Coach Mike Hoyman -and his
University of Oregon swimming
team leave for Seattle this morning
in quest of the hide of the Husky
natators there tomorrow night.
Coach Hoyman will take a ten man
team with him to the northern city.
Last year the Webfoot team won
the dual meet held here against
Washington by a convincing mar
gin, but later lost to the Huskies
in the Northwest championships
at. Portland. The Washington team
has for its number one ace the
world record breaker, Jack Medica,
who usually wins fifteen points all
by himself. In spite of this fact,
the Oregon natators have a fine
chance to win the meet, for the
team is unusually well-balanced
and can count on enough firsts,
seconds, and thirds to add up a
win.
The trip is being made in private
automobiles, and the three car car
avan leaves Eugene this morning at
8:30 a. m. The meet is scheduled
for tomorrow night at the Wash
ington Athletic club pool. The fol
lowing will make the trip: Forerst
Kerby and Chuck Reed, breast
stroke; Jim Reed and Randall Gib
son, backstroke; Bob Chilton, div
ing; and Leonard Scroggins, Wally
Hug, Vernon Hoffman, Bill Angell,
and Kenneth Mayer, freestyle.

THE NATIONAL
JOY SMOKE!
IT’S ONLY NATURAL that when college studenti
hear of a bargain they “snap it up.”
Oregon students know what they want when they
want it and above all they like to find quality merchan
dise at prices that are reasonable.
Emerald Advertisers make use of the columns of the
paper daily to tell the Oregon students of their goods
that are most appealing to younger folks therefore take
a tip and buy from Emerald advertisers.

Beavers Will
Attempt to
Sweep Series
Gill to Play First String
Throughout Contest
Despite Rumor
‘Down the Champs’ Is the
Cry of Ducks
Attempting to repeat the feat
they accomplished two years ago,
when they took all four games
from the Ducks, the Oregon Stats
Beavers, winners of the northern
division of the Pacific Coast bas
ketball conference, will have a
rather hard time in doing this if
Billy Reinhart has anything to say
about the final meeting of the two
teams Z.\ lu..-.’.ay night at McArthur
court.
Hoping to produce a chalk mark
in the win column. Reinhart has
been sending his proteges up and
down the floor at the Igloo with
the war cry of “Down the Champs"
ringing in their ears, and from ob
servation of the players, that this
is the time they are going to win
at alt costs.
Reports have been floating
around the Oregon campus that
the Beavers will probably play the
second-string all through the game,
saving the first string for the
championship series with the Uni
versity of Southern California
Trojans, winers of the southern
division. However, this report has
been found to be untrue, and
“Slats" Gill will be out to win as
in previous games.
Coach Reinhart spent the greater
part of yesterday afternoon in giv
i ing his men their final instructions
for their last game of the season.
He worked with a first string com
posed of Captain Bill Berg and
Glen Sanford, guards, Willie Jones,
center, and “Suzzmm" Liebowitz,
and John Lewis at forward.
Facing them will be Conkling,
Palmberg, Hibbard, Tuttle, and
Bergstrom who will play an import
ant part in the Beavers’ final bid
for a clean sweep of the series.
Send the Emerald to your friends.
