CLARE, II I JJOWN south they’re talking Olympics in terms of track times like these: 100-yard dash, 9.7; 220-yard dash, 21.1; 440-yard dash, 48.2-”880-yard~run7’ 1:57.8; broad jump, 24 feet 3 inches; etc. Leon Rouge in his “Brewins” col umn of the California Daily Bruin, summarized some of the times made in competition around the Bay region, (the above being the best mentioned ) and stated it “pre sages much for the United States' ranking in the competition at Ber lin.” The above may lie shoutin’ down south but they are just plain whis pers around here. Last year in the conference meet at Seattle Bud Shoemake clicked off 9.50 in the century. His 20.8 iii the 220 beats the southern time. Howard Pat terson will have to step to beat 48.2, hut he’s been bringing his time down every year. As for the 880, George Scliarpf has eclipsed the southern 1:57.8 by three full seconds. Frank “Squeak” Lloyd hasn’t competed in the Northwest conference yet, but in exhibition jumps last year he cracked 25 feet in the broad jump consistently. And so ... if that's the best they can do in the Bay region things look pretty bright for Ore gon when her team heads for Los Angeles and the Pacific coast track meet later this spring, and then the Olympics. :l; $ 64JTOLLYWOOD” JOE GORDON, erstwhile shortstop flash of the U. of O. varsity, hit the big league box score yesterday when h e played for Oakland against Portland Wednes day. Joe handled four chances without an error and othe r w i s e conducted him self like he be with the Coast league outfit. This was Joe’s big chance and he made good. Ray Koch, Joe’s playmate on the varsity last year, was sent to the Western league for a little more seasoning, but Bill Meyer, Acorn skipper, took a liking to Gordon and held on to him. Both Gordon and Koch are under contract to the New York Yankees who took them away from Oregon last sum mer. Gordon lias been understudying Eddie Leischman at short for the Acorns. Leischman hasn't been hitting so well and he made two errors in the Fortland-Oakland tus sle before Meyer jerked him and sent in Gordon. If Gordon can get on to some of the big league pitch ing slants he may be playing regu lar before long. Education Profs To Meet at O.N.S.

AT ALL LEADING DEALERS Beef Trusters Drop Sammie Softballers In Rousing Contest Kappa Sigs Best Chi Psi, DU’s, Theta Chi, Phi Psi Chalk Up Wins in Third Round Tilts In a wildly exciting intramural softball game yesterday the Beef Trusters of Pi Kappa Alpha dropped Sigma Alpha Mu from the ranks of the undefeated by a 10 to-8 score as the week's play came to a close on the East Fifteenth street diamonds. Kappa Sigma shared honors by blasting Chi Psi 19 to 4 in a slugfest, while Delta Upsilon, Phi Kappa Psi, and Theta Chi also chalked up third round wins. The heavy swatting Pi Kaps, aided a great deal by many field ing errors on the part of the Sam mies, squeezed out a victory over the Potter street boys in a close game featured by very poor um piring and one big inning for each team. The Sammy rally came in the third canto, with Les Gold schmidt leading the way with a triple when the bags were loaded. Six tallies crossed the rubber in their half of the frame and shoved Sigma Alpha Mu into a 7 to 3 lead. The Pi Kaps' big inning was the fifth, when five singles from the big bats of the famed Murderers’ Row sent five tallies scampering across the plate. The Owen bro thers and Cuppoletti pasted the apple deep into the outer gardens for singles which scored five runs. Iron Mike Mikulak came to bat with the bags loaded, and was pur posely walked by Goldschmidt. In the final inning the Sammies had a chance to win and muffed it. The bases were filled by two singles and a walk, and only one man was out. A double would have scored three runs to erase the 10-to-8 lead held by the Pi Kaps. In this pinch Rosenfeld fanned and Frager popped up a little infield fly to end the game in favor of Pi Kappa Al pha. Kai) wigs File I p score With Odd Hughes twirling su perior ball on the mound and a line of heavy swatsmiths knocking the old agate all over the lot, Kappa Sigma scorched Chi Psi by a 19 to 4 count. In the last inning the winners ran wild to score ten runs on consecutive doubles by Rummel, Obleskon, McIntyre, and Simpson. Bud Brewer, Kappa Sig left gar dener, poled out a circuit clout with two men on base. Scoring four runs in fhe fifth inning, the Delta Upsilon team bested Sigma Nu 7 to 2. The DU s showing much improvement since their early season setback by the ATO’s backed up the smokeball chucking of Wild Bill Jones in tip top shape, enabling him to twirl a two-hit game. Jones was in good form, whiffing 15 Sigma Nu bats men with his blinding fast one. The DU team was leading 3-to-2 in the fifth inning when Speed Newlands came to bat and poled a long triple to start a parade across' the plate. Jones singled him home and then scored himself on a lusty double by Emerald Business Man ager Haberman. Lucas singled Ilabe home and came home him self on BeLieu's triple. Johnny' Olsen opposed Jones on the slab. Phi Psis Blank Zeta Phi Kappa Psi and Zeta hall bat tled five innings in a close game, but the Phi Psis bunched their hits in the sixth to shove home four runs and win the game 5 to 0. A long double by Parks, Phi tosser, accounted for two of the winning runs. Parks and Truby pitched | good ball, with neither having any decided advantage except in the last inning, when the winning bat ters touched Truby for four runs. Huston of Theta Chi, given good support by an infield sparked by Ken Phillips, twirled a no-hit, no run game as the Nineteenth street men shut out Phi Sigma Kappa 8 to 0. The game was marked by a great number of spectacular catch es by outfielders, with Parks and Clark starring for Theta Chi and Eob Young taking honors for the Phi Sigs. Huston pitched steady, i consistent ball, showing no great speed, but faultless control, and is the first twirler of the current sea son to earn a no-hit game.

Frosh Play Return Game At Grant Today Revenge Sought for Loss Suffered Here; Fouls Or Coouiler to Start Oregon's freshman baseball team, upset by Grant high in its first start Wednesday, will at tempt to avenge that setback in a return game with the Generals at Portland this afternoon. John Warren and 14 palyers will leave for the metropolis today. Men making the trip are Bill Sayles, Gail Fouts, and John Coomler, pitchers; Lee Irwin and Cecil Walden, catchers; Gale Smith, Phil Thompson, Bobby Anet, Jack Gordon, and Ford Mul len, infielders; and John Yerby, Bob Smith, George Jackson, and Ken Rolfe, outfielders. Play Milwaukee Saturday After the Grant contest the Ducklings will remain in Multno mah county for a tilt with Pete Miller's Milwaukee high team on Saturday. Warren plans to start either Coomler, who pitched the final two innings of Wednesday's game, or Fouts against Charlies Orr’s well balanced Generals. Bill Sayles, who limited the Grantonians to four hits for ten innings in the struggle here, will probably get the assignment at Milwaukee Sat urday. Sayles whiffed 15 men. Gale Smith Scintillates Fielding of Gale Smith at first base was the standout of the yearlings’ performance Wednes day. Smith flashed major league form in his work around the init ial bag. Sayles looms as number one frosh hitter as well as ace hurler. Three hits in five up were his total Wednesday. Irwin pounded out two safe bingles for the Webfoot first year men. Sayles and Coomler allowed Grant only five hits in twelve in nings in losing 4 to 2, while the Ducklings combed Spiker and Garrett, a likely looking prep mound pair, for nine. The Grant twirlers were stingy when hits meant runs, however. Fijis, Zeta Hall Win Tennis Tilts Though completely outclassed in the singles, the Zeta hall tennis team took a clean sweep in the doubles against SAE yesterday af ternoon in the first intramural match of the day. Frank Bon durant toyed with Thorne Hubbell, his opponent, and took points at will to win 6-0, 6-1. Frizzell and La.v of the hatl downed Kupfer and Fix after a hard fight by the score of <-5, 3-6, 6-1. In the second doubles, Bailey and Hall downed Neuner and DeArmond 7-5, 6-4. Though John Dunbar, Pi Kap singles star, downed John Maeder in straight sets 6-3, 6-3, the Fiji netmen won both doubles matches, Beck and Kriesien winning the first 6-3, 6-3, and .Benton and Kaldor taking the second 6-1, 6-1. The match between Maeder and Dunbar was inteersting all the way, although Dunbar dominated the play most of the time. Duck Trackmen To Stage Meet Hayward Divides Squad Into Separate Teams: Leiuon and Green The Webfoot track squad will be on review for the first time this year when Bill Hayward puts his cindermen through a complete in tersquad meet Saturday at 2 o’clock. Colonel Bill Hayward, the Ore gon students’ idea of “one swell guy,” has divided all of the track men into two squads, the Lemon and the Green. The two teams are evenly matched and the winner will be the one that gets the breaks. The fact that there are at least two Olympic prospects on the track team makes the meet of added interest. The winners of the events this Saturday will probably be the big point winners in compe tition this spring. Of special interest will be the mile event, in which a dual battle for first place honors is expected between George Scharpf of the Lemon team and Sam McGaughey of the Greens. Scharpf, who has been defeated twice this year by Sammy McGaughey, has sworn to get revenge. Two other events that will prob ably develop into a terrific strug gle are the 50 and 100-yard dashes. The 50-yard dash has been sub stituted for the usual 220 yard sprint. Those who know have picked "Squeak” Lloyd to win the short dash and Bud Shoemake to win the 100. Lloyd, a sophomore, has proved that he is a speed demon by defeating Shoemake in one race this year. Shoemake is the champion sprinter of the I Northwest. To provide the necessary humor angle as well as provide necessary training, the weight men will run a 440-yard relay in addition to their regular events. The Lemon squad of Foskett, Berry, Adams, and Hardesty will run against the Greenies who boast Huston, Walk* er, Koskello, and Holland as their speedsters. Sam McGaughey will captain the Greenies and George Scharpf will lead the Lemons into the fray. Campus Sribes May Show Skill Campus scribes will have the opportunity to compete for cash prizes in varied types of writing. The American Catholic Historical Society is sponsoring an essay contest on “Any fact, phase, or personage of Catholic history in the Americas.” The essay is to be 2500 words in length. There are four prizes offered: first, $100; second, $50; and third and fourth, $25 each. American Prefaces, journal of critical and imaginary writing, is also sponsoring contests in an ef fort to stimulate writing on the part of young authors. It is offer ing three prizes of $20 each; one each for the best poem, short story, and critical article submitted.

Coach Washke used his complete squad of nine players. Except for the first set in the first doubles, Oregon did not lose a set, and they won six at love. John Economus played number one and defeated J. Buttenvorth 6-2, 6-2. Economus' ability to keep the ball in play completely upset any game Butterworth tried. Larry Crane, number two play er, outclassed N. Dutton by the scores 6-2, 6-0. Before the game Crane was elected captain of the team. Norman Winslow was not ex tended in his match with M. Syver soon, winning 6-0, G-0. Jack Craw ford, playing number four posi tion, also had an easy time defeat ing P. Carey 6-1, 6-2. In the longest singles match of the afternoon Chuck Eaton clowned A. Jensen 6-3, 6-3. Eaton took his time, playing all his shots careful ly, and never was in danger of losing. In the hardest match of the af ternoon Bill Zimmerman and Worth Chaney, playing number one doubles, defeated Butterworth and Dutton, 4-6, 6-1, and 6-0. Ex cept for a period of stage fright in the first set when they lost four straight games, the Oregon team played a hard, smashing game that kept their opponents continually on the defensive. In the second doubles Cosgrove LaBarre and Bill Ilptchison easily downed Syvcrson and Carey in two love sets. Coach Washke is leaving today for a conference in the East, and Bolj Breckenridge, senior manager, has charge of the team while he is absent. Two games with Reed col lege have been scheduled, the first here on April 25, and the other in Portland on May 14. building, Miss Elizabeth Hughes, of the YWCA, said today. Miss Dorothy Nyland is in charge of the affair. Mrs. Faye Knox, instructor in physical education, is coaching students for the Easter ceremonial which will be presented. The pro gram consists of a pageant-dance recital and music made up of in terpretive dances symbolizing Easter. Come to ERIC MERRELL’S George’s fate isn’t as dark and mysterious as it is painted. He merely fell for the values in new spring suits at Eric Mor rell's. George would never brush aside an opportun ity like that. ERIC I MERRELL Clothes for Men 0 Webfoot Baseball Club Faces Linfield On Anonymous Field Second Start of Season Listed This Afternoon; Millard Starts in Box; Lineup Unchanged Howard Hobson's Webfoot base ball team, still in the question mark class despite an encouraging 6-to-l win over Monmouth Nor mal, will face its second opposition of the season when Linfield college comes to Anonymous field this af ternoon. The game is scheduled for 3 o'clock. Bob Millard, sophomore left hander, is Hobson's choice for starting duty on the mound. Don McFadden, who let Monmouth batters down with a total of three hits, will probably get the start ing call tomorrow, when the Ducks play a return game with Linfield at McMinnville. Split Last Spring Last spring Linfield split a double bill with the champion Ore gon team, and the Wildcats are expected to be strong again this year. The Webfoots took Henry Lever's nine in the first tilt last season, 3 to 1, but in the nightcap of a twin bill Roy Helser pitched Linfield to a one hit 7-to-l win. Oregon will take the field with the same lineup that started the ball rolling against Oregon Nor mal. Bill Courtney will be at first, Mark lieLaunay at second, Johnny Lewis at short, and Bud Goodin at third. In the outfield it will be Ralph Amato in left, Chief Mc Lean in center, and Andy Hurney in right. John Thomas will receive Millard's slants behind the bat. Don McFadden and Cecc Inman, both pitchers, are the only seniors on Oregon's outfit, and great things are in store for next' year. This season’s club is still an un known quantity in many ways, Inter-Squad Track Meet Saturday Hayward Will turn Men Loose on Track, Field First Time This Year An intersquad track meet next Saturday will have all the cinder men running the full distance in all events. This will be the first time this year that competition in the full distances will be held on the track, and also for the first time, the field men will pit their strength against one another in actual com petition. The meet is scheduled for 2 o’clock. Two teams, the lemons and the greens, have been formed with em phasis on equal distribution of ma terial. Should the weather remain warm, next Saturday should show just what the theoretically power ful track team is capable of doing. The events will be the 50-yard clash, 100-yard dash, ^40-yard dash, 880-yard run, mile run, high hur dles, low hurdles, high jump, broad jump, pole vault, shot put, discus, javelin and the 140-yard relay. Of special interest should be the 50 and 100-yard dashes, in which Bud Shoemake and “Sqeak” Lloyd, both pontential Olympic ma terial, will fight it out on rival teams. Likewise in the mile, the in cessant rivalry between Captain George Scharpf and Sam Mc Gaughey should make for fast time in the four laps. however, and observers are count ing upon the weekend series with Linfield as a further test.
