UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1936
SPORT CHAT
By PAT FRIZZELL *
JNTEREST in Oregon's North
west conference opener with
Oregon State here Friday is run
ning high, on the campus and
downtown. The merchants have
put up prizes for “firsts” and
things point to another gala open
ing for Oregon fans.
A lot of Oregon State addicts
are getting in their crowing before
the contest. La Verne Hawn, a
misled young Eugene business man
who has a Beaver complex, came
out with the statement that “Any
one besides an Oregon State
booster who wil go out to the
Webfoot ball park Friday after
noon is a sucker.” If Mr. Hawn
could remember back about a
year to the 17-0 shellacking a cer
tain Don McFadden gave the
Staters he might amend his state
ment to read, “Anyone SITTING
beside any Oregon State booster,
etc. ...”
Mr. Hawn compares Oregon- to
a combination of Podunk high
school and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Last year the Beavers didn't rate
a combination with the Brooklyn
Dodgers in the opening game. And
the point is the Beavers evidently
don't have a much better outfit
than they did last year. Their
batters seem to be hitting fairly
regularly, but they haven’t shown
much material on the mound, and
this counts a lot in a ball game.
On the other hand, the Webfoots
haven’t hit their stride at bat, but
Don McFadden, already approach
ing mid-season form, is slated to
pitch the opener. He did a major
portion of the work last year in
winning the opener and the 17-0
score he won by just can’t be
laughed off.
Slats Gill hasn’t been able to
decide on his line-up to date but
has been using the following men
Slats Gill
most frequent
I ly: Bergstrom,
I 3b (who may be
, brought in to
| catch, putting
i J o e Gray or
i Kappel in the
hot corner)
Sutherland,
Wynne, or
Kebbe, lb; Mer
ry man, 2b;
Worthley, for
merly second
sacker now at shortstop; and in
the field several aspirants have
been alternating, Woerner (who
worked on the mound for two
seasons and behind the plate for
a couple of games this yearj,
Booth, Dockery, and Conkling.
As has been said, Gill doesn’t
have much to keep the mound
warm. His best bet, judging from
pre-season performances, seems to
be Johnston.
^D Dooley, in his Sports Com
ment columii of the Barometer,
makes two statements, the first to
which we subscribe entirely and
to the other with a slight added
suggestion.
In the first case he gees back
on his fellow suporter, Mr. Hawn
of Eugene, by giving the Ducks
the edge. In this he is doubtless
taking the safe side, iii spite of his
natural favoritism. He says: “The
opening series of the division race
this week with the VVebfoots will
see each team on nearly a par with
the other, with the edge going to
the Ducks from the Eugene cam
pus. The VVebfoots played four
g a m e s with Willamette and
dropped three of them; the Beav
ers lost three (he didn't mention
that tiie Beavers only played three
games with Willamette this sea
son). Oregon split two games with
Unfield; Oregon State lost one
(the one they played with Un
field). The Ducks split—if our
memory serves us eorectly—with
Oregon Normal (their memory
didn't serve them correctly. The
Ducks won both games with the
normal school); the Orangemen
wen one and play the second this
afternoon.”
In the second instance Mr.
Dooley comes out with a sugges
tion that has great possibilities.
He says: "Andy Kerr, head foot
bal coach at Colgate, has installed
Major Bowes’ gong idea for his
football team, according to a
press report. Every time a gridder
pulls a boner he gets the gong.
Now if Coacf* Gill followed suit
he’d have the gong worn out by
the time the regular season
started and the players blushing
all the time. *Ui in tun, of course.1
Softball Final Round Robin Starts This Afternoon
Opening Day
Baseball Plans
Taking Shape
Hunter, Two Presidents,
Mayor Large, Gregory
To Be on Hand
“Baseball day,” that day when
the king of all American sports
climbs on his throne and revels in
the acclaim of his legion of fanatic
supporters, is drawing near.
Friday is “baseball day" in Eu
gene, and a record crowd is ex
pected to turn out to watch Ore
gon’s question mark Webfoots kick
off the northern division lid
against Oregon State's Beavers on
Anonymous field. The big game
starts at 3 o'clock and several
thousand fans are hoping the
spring rain which sprinkled Eu
gene last night will be over before
that momentous hour.
Preparations Forge Ahead
Elaborate preparations for the
greatest day in Eugene baseball
history are forging rapidly ahead.
Of leading interest to the horde of
opening day fandom is the battery
ceremony, in which the town and
campus big shots will test their
weary arms on horsehide and
hickory.
Chancellor Hunter will fling the
first ball of the conference season
and attempting to pocket it in the
big padded glove will be Mayor
Elisha Large. Two batters, an ino
vation in opening day proceedings,
will take cuts at the offerings of
the chancellor. Dr. C. Valentine
Boyer, president of the University,
and Dr. G. W. Peavy, president of
the state college, will swing at
Hunter's pitches. Umpire will be
none other than L. H. Gregory,
sporting editor of the Morning
Oregonian.
“Baseball School” Slated
Oregon’s famous “baseball
school,” which consists of the
initiation of new varsity lettermen
by the Order of the “O” in front
of the stands will be another open
ing day feature. Still another will
be the parade through downtown
streets by the entire ROTC unit
and 60-piece band.
Then there will be prizes for
“firsts” from the first home run
down to the first error. Ed Farrar
announced a list of prizes yester
day.’ Farrar is chairman of the
campus committee aiding the
downtown boosters group in put
As an amendment to Mr.
Dooley’s idea, we suggest a cow
bell instead of the gong ... of
course, all in fun, of course.
At last Anonymous field isn’t
going to be Anonymous anymore,
in spite of the rabid protests of
two Emerald workers who feel
“Anonymous” would be a distinc
tive and popular name. The long
awaited dedication exercises for
the field south of McArthur are
scheduled to take place Friday. It
is understood that the committee,
composed of the athletic com
mittee, and Tom Tongue, Jim
Blais, and President Boyer (chair
man ) is having a difficult time de
ciding the name for the field.
This department still favors the
name, “Reinhart.” A poll of the
Emerald editorial and news staff
brought lorth the following re
sults: Of 21 journalists asked \yhat
they would like the new name of
Anonymous field to be, 19 said
“Reinhart” and two held out for
“Anonymous.”
It is true that most of the Em
erald staff knew and liked “Biily ’
Reinhart and might be thus
prejudiced in his favor, but what
could be more fitting than to name
the field after the man who was
instrumental in having it built,
took personal pride in it, and won
two Northwest division titles on
it?
s s m
'J'HE game Friday should be a
i x humdinger. Students are hop
ing classes will be dismissed Fri
day afternoon for the preliminary
ceremonies. The whole affair will
be worthwhile, regardless of the
outcome. BUT. the big question
now is. “How good is Chancellor
Hunter’s ‘fade-away’ for the open
ing pitch?”

Kain Halts Practice
Rain drove Howard Hobson and
his ball players into the Igloo yes
terday after three innings of a
practice game between the var
sity reserves and John Warren’s
frosh. The frosh were leading when
the rain came.
A tussle between the varsity
regulars and the frosh nine is
scheduled for this afternoon. Hob
son is endeavoring to shake his
club out of a hitting and fielding
slump. The pitching of the seven
man staff has been exceptionally
good for early season, but ragged
work in the field and .209 batting
has nullified it.
Don McFadden is certain to get
the starting call on the mound for
Oregon. McFadden pitched the
Webfoots to a 17-to-0 win over the
Beavers in last season’s opener.
Only five of the players who faced
the durable right-hander then are
members of Slats Gill’s crew this
year.

Varsity Track Star Tells of
Interesting Career
_ i--——
By HUBARD KUOKKA
“Squeak" Lloyd is a natural ath
lete. A graph of his athletic devel
opment since he joined the YMCA
in Pennsylvania at the age of eight
would be a straight line rising,
rising, rising ... at present he is
very close to every trackman's
goal, the Olympics!
Last year, he thought 24 feet 2
inches was about the limit of his
broadjumping ability. Then what
did he do? In a mere exhibition
leap he jumped 25 feet 8\'2 inches!
Olympic games? “Wot the hejl,”
he will protest. He hardly dares
to hope. But his wise old coach.
Bill Hayward, will back him as
being a real prospect for the
American team.
As to versatility, Frank ranks
among the best. Beside consistent
ly winning the broad jump when
he was in Santa Monica junior
college, he also high jumped 6 feet
2 inches and ran the hundred in
9.8 seconds for two additional first
places. Furthermore, he is no
slouch in the hurdles nor on the
football field.
When he joined the Y as a
youngster, his interest was swim
ming. He won several meets,
swimming the backstroke and free
style sprints. In high school, he
was captain of the swimming team
as well as the track team.
In an intramural meet here at
Oregon, he even beat Jim Hurd in
the 40-yard freestyle. However,
he modestly admits that Hurd
wasn’t prepared for very much
competition in that race, and hence
“Squeak” was able to grab the lead
with the gun.
Lloyd’s athletic prowess always
has been a pain in the neck to his
opponents. Even before an intcr
class meet at Santa Monica junior
college he was put on the spot by
the members of a rival class.
They kidnapped him!
“Squeak” was sitting in a car
on the clay of the meet, eating his
lunch. Suddenly, he was seized by
several beefy football players who
attempted to get him into another
car. His classmates rescued him
from their foul clutches, and Lloyd
sprinted away to hide in a friend's
home.
The enemy discovered his hid
ing place. Several carloads of
them surrounded the house, but by
some good guile, “Squeak" man
aged to sneak away and was rap
idly hauling himself down the
landscape when he was again cap
tured. He was put into the rumble
seat of a car, guarded by three big
football players.
About six miles in the country
when the car had to slow down for
a narrow bridge, young Lloyd gave
a powerful spring and dove out of
the car. Again he started running.
A carload of classmates who had
been following, picked him up and
sped him back to the field, just as
they were calling the high jump
ers. Competing in a pair of swim
ming trunks, he won three firsts
that day in the high jump, broad
jump, and in the 100-yard dash.
Frank is 22 years old, 5 feet 10
inches in height, weighing 150
pounds. Majoring in social science,
he is a junior at the University.
He came from Santa Monica junior
college a year ago last fall. He
got his nickname “Squeak" in a
YMCA camp before his voice
changed.
Frank had a touch of what it
feels like to be a big time athlete,
and incidentally, the worst scare
of his life when he flew home from
a track victory at the expense of
the Golden Bears. On the way the
motor of the plane began to sput
ter and pop. It was over very
rough country too. Just about the
time Squeak had a good start In
repenting his sins, the pilot
switched on- a fresh supply of fuel.
