Baseball Lid Off Today as Webfoots Face Pacific Here DRAW up a chair folks! Ol Doc Highball came in tht other day with water on the brain Drawing up a typewriter, he col lapsed into a wastebasket with t'n( dull thud of the proverbial flunl and exploded. After we had swepl up the eels and put them back ir the jar under as associate editor's desk all we could find that was left of ol’ Highball was a bit of wel! chewed English bond, with the fol lowing inscription thereon: “Oregon State has been keeping its swimming team hidden undci the bushes and is going to gel - tor it when Saturday rclls around. Oh, my chillun, it is predicted that Oregon shall take first in the oncoming N.YV. splash ers' convention in every event ex cept one, providing Mike Hoyman doesn’t get tired of winning points. “Oregon is doped by the stars to hightail it with close to G2 points, Washington won’t be much over 32, Washington State will be lucky to hump 7, and it’ll be a great day if OSC take more than 4, and to do that they’ll have to take ’em away from the Cougars. “A Washington breaststroke ace may take a first «n that event, but outside of that, my chillun, the blue ribbons that leave the Uni versity this year are limited by Mike Hoyman’s generosity and the absent Jack Medica. And now, my chillun, I'm going down to the sports depadtment and blow all over the place. Farewell!!” And that, friends, is the sad story of ol’ Doc Highball, for whose prognostications we refuse to apologize. Wright Obtains Pictorial Map Of Mexico City A gay, colorful pictorial map of Mexico City and the surrounding country featuring all the vivid lures and charms that a distant land finds in a stimulated imagin ation has been received by Dr. Leavitt O, Wright, Spanish pro fessor. Margin close-ups give familiar scenes of local customs and every day life in romantic Mexico—an Independence day celebration, In dian dances, religious festivals, a picture of market life, and many others. A corner insert has por traits of some of Mexico's national figures and shows some of the pic turesque coats of arms of her families. Mexico City, originally built on an island, is portrayed with sur rounding lakes lending beauty to the landscape. To the northeast is pictured huge Lago de Texcoco, now dry. Snow-capped mountain peaks, quaint villages, gaudily - dressed caballeros and dark-eyed Mexican senoritas all add 4atmosphere and seductive local color to the brilli ant portrayal of Mexican life. Dr. Wright said he hoped it would be a stimulus for all Spanish students who could do s6 to at tend summer school at the Nation al University of Mexico. Professor Julio Jimenez Rueda, former director of the popular summer sessions at the National University of Mexico, will share with Prof. Wright a visiting pro fessorship for the summer session of the 1936 Pomona college school of Spanish at Claremont, Cali fornia. The city of Dieppe, France, on the Paris-London air route, will construct a modern airport, with the assistance of the French gov ernment. McFadden to Chuck for H. Hobson's Nine on Anonymous Field at 3 o’Clock “Play ball!” The cry that has rung out over a thousand fields ot play ever since old Abner Double day invented America’s national pastime back in 1839 will sound again in all its glory at Anony mous field here this afternoon when Oregon's varsity Webfoots throw off the 1936 baseball lid against Pacific university of For est Grove. The opening pitch of the season is scheduled to whizz in the gen era! vicinity of the plate at exactly 3 o’clock, and at that time the test of Oregon’s question mark ball club will begin. Ducks Defending Champs For two years in succession Webfoot diamond aggregations have gone out and procured the northern division bunting for the Eugene trophy case. This spring with the best of the veterans gone and unknown quantities filling key positions, experts aren’t laying anything on Oregon’s chances. Pacific, usually a strong contender in the small Northwest conference, is a tough enough customer to test the mettle of any coast con ference club. Stormy weather has handicap ped Howard Hobson’s outfit since the start of practice, but the new Webfoot mentor, himself once a brilliant college star, has chosen his starting lineup, and students ' can get a line on the lads this j afternoon. McFadden on Hillick Don McFadden, ace of them all in northern division twirling cir cles, is Hobby’s nominee for start ing duty on the chucking slab, and receiving his slants will be John Thomas, a reserve last year. In the infield, composed of three new faces and one old, it will be Bill Courtney on first, Bob Wim bush at second, Johnny Lewis (the gentleman v/ho’s been seen before! on short, and Bud Goodin at third Outfielders in the opening lineup will be Andy Hurney, left; Pitcher Bob Millard, center; and Chief McLean, right. Millard and Mc Lean are new to the garden, Hur ney was out there last year, as was Ralph Amato, counted upon lor heavy duty in the conference race but out of the £wim right now with measles. Bucknum, Marshall Ready Pitchers who may relieve Mc Fadden are Earl Bucknum, letter man, and Bill Marshall, transfer from Monmouth. Hobson says that Cece Inman, veteran, and Millard of the outfield, aren't ready. W hat Anse Cornell will bring up the river from Washington county isn’t known, but the Bad gers made a good showing last year and have more than one let terman back Harvey Storey, for mer Pacific third baseman, took the eye of coast league scouts and spent the training camp period with the Portland Beavers this spring, and more men of the same mold may be in Badger uniform.

Second round games begin Monday. April 6. A long double from the heavy7 stick of Bill Dick, Sigma Nu cen ter fielder, won the game for his teammates by scoring Anet, Faye, and Battleson ahead of him in the eighth inning. Highlights of the contest were two triples by Dick Kriesene, Fiji left gardener, and a home run by Johnny Olsen, Sig ma Nu twirler. Betas Massacre Chi Psis Beta Theta Pi slaughtered their Chi Psi neighbors to the tune of 18 to 4 in the biggest slugfest of the afternoon. A murderer's row of such grid luminaries as Budd Jones, Smoky Parke, and Hugh McCredie lambasted H e u m e r . chucker for the lodgemen, at will, getting twelve tallies in the first two innings. Lanky Ed Wheelock, beanpole barrister, pitched Sigma Chi to a 5-to-3 victory over Phi Kappa Psi in a pitcher’s duel with Bernie Matthews, opposing tosser. The men from the castle bunched their hits to shove three runs across in the fourth, while the three Phi Psi tallies came in the sixth. Tapdane er Tommy Bradshaw cavorted be hind the bat for Sigma Chi. ATO’s Blank DU’s Alpha Tau Omega displayed al most perfect fielding in their 9 to 0 defeat of Delta Upsilon. Sparked by A1 Stroble, one of the sweetest shortstops to take the field in this season’s play, the ATOs gave Pit cher Anderson airtight support, enabling him to pitch a one-hit game. Stroble was also having a big day at the plate, scoring two runs, and slamming out a long two-bagger in the third with the bases loaded, shoving in three runs. 'Bill Jones, D.U. pitcher, was ef fective in the pinches, but a bad case of wildness during ordinary going cost his teammates the game. Bob Newlands was the class of the losers, turning in a faultless job at first base, and slamming out a single for the D.U.’s only bingle of the contest. Omega hall’s Kidder outpitched his rival, Mitchell, as the hallmen downed the Sigma Phi Epsilon team by a 7 to 4 count. This con test was tightly played and was the shortest game of the day. Soft ball play will be resumed Monday, April 6, when the teams play their second round games. Subscription rates $2.50 a year.

It is strenuous, ex citing, and may be taken up by members of either sex. It is variously known as ‘‘Wet the Whistle,” "Dunk the Schnozz," or "Calisthentic Gargling." That rustic old fountain in front of the library, the last sanctuary of those who liked to drink in the good old fashioned way has gone modern on us. That graceful, pleasing old monument is now equipped with those swan-like eye sores of gleaming metal designed to make it as difficult as possible to obtain a drink. This new sport is rough and tumble, catch as catch can. Con testants may work in pairs or singly. First team, or individual, to obtain a satisfactory drink is declared winner. Though competi tion is fierce and players capable no one has yet conquered the foe. An intensive period of training is required for every contestant, and a course in plumbing (a. pipe course) is suggested. Following is a description of the technique employed by the most successful contenders to date. First a rope was tied around the feet of Contestant Entwhistle and this rope was tossed over the overhanging fir branch above the fountain. His partner, Contestant h izzier, then hoisted him up feet first and swung him over the fountain. In this position. Ent whistle turned on the water and began to drink. He was disqual ified, however, when his toupe fell in the water. Intramural Tennis To Start Monday The intramural tennis tourna ment, in the various men’s organi zations, gets under way Monday, April 6. when the Phi Kappa Alpha team meets Chi Psi lodge at 4 o'clock. At 5 o'clock the same eve ning Kappa Sigmas raqueteers match skill with Alpha hall. Northwest Swim Meet Qualifying Heats Tonight at 8 Gerlinger Will Be Scene Of Aquatic Tourney; Washington, WSC, OSC, Oregon Entered The late entry of six men, repre senting Oregon State college in the Northwest intercollegiate swimming championships brings the total entered to nearly 35 swimmers.

Cameron, Bennett, and Mayo are to compete in the breast stroke, Burns in the back stroke, and Ed wards In the diving. The medley relay team includes Parrot, Ben nett, and Burns. Oregon Favored Since Oregon defeated Washing ton in dual competition, Washing ton defeated Washington State, and Washington State defeated Oregon State, the Ducks are a top heavy favorite to cop this meet. The loss of Jack Medica's services is a blow to Washington’s chances, but the Huskies should be a sure second, since they did defeat Washington State without him. Mike Hoyman, Jim Hurd, and Jim Reed returned to the campus Thursday from the east and the latter two will have a day’s rest from travel before engaging in this meet. Since both are in top shape, spectators can look forward to some record breaking perform ances. Jim Reed broke his own Pacific coast intercollegiate record in the 150 yard back stroke by more than six seconds when com peting at Yale. Jim Hurd already holds the Pacific coast intercollegi ate record for the 100 yard dash, arid it is within his power to break : only 2weeks off! i .. so RUN, don’t walk to ‘Wards and choose your Easter frock from our excit* ing array of crepes in light tone prints or solid coloi%!
