Smith, Ed Robbins, Kenneth Kirtley, Robert Dean, Hubard Kuokka, Wendell Wyatt. Coed Reporters: Irma jean Randolph, IVIarionbeth Wolf den. Oregon's list of baseball crip ples is rapidly approaching the vaunted number of maimed and wounded claimed by the Portland Beavers. Thee shutout twin bill with Washington State accounted for injuries to three Webfoot main stays, one of whom will be out for the season. As competition for Portland's straing of ailing ball players, the Webfoots offer the following list: John Thomas, first string catch er—broken right thumb. Andy Hurney, regular righ field er—pulled leg muscle. Ralph Amato, veteran left field er—sprained ankle. Thonjas will be out for the sea son. Hurney and Amato may be in today’s lineup, but both are def initely handicapped. The Beayers keep on winning in the face of myriad mishaps and the Ducks are determined to do the same. * * * It was a foul tip off the bat of Nethercutt, Washington State’s shortstop, that disabled Thomas. Cece Inman shot a fast pitch over the plate, Nethercutt ticked the ball, and it hit Thomas on the thumb. The flesh peeled off to the knuckle bone and the bone itself snapped out like a trigger. Thomas gritted his teeth and grinned, but analysis by doctors showed the bone to be cracked, and John’s season is over. That Oregon infield, considered before and after pre-season games the weak spot of Howard Hobson's team, hasn’t done so badly in its first three games. There’s no Joe Gordon-Ray Koch combination around second base and Bill Court ney isn’t a Harry McCall on first, but the lads are scrapping and coming up with the tough ones. Little Mark DeLaunay, who wasn’t even certain of a regular spot when the season began, has been showing up more heralded team mates and opponents with a brand of baseball good enough for any college club. DeLaunay has been covering the territory to the leftjOf the number two hassock like a blanket, making sensational stops right and left and making the hard ones look easy. And, more to his credit, Mark has been swatting the pellett at opportune moments. Johnny Lewis still fails to hit, but his fielding has picked up and in Thursday's double bill he han dled eleven chances without error. Courtney is small for a first base man, but his battered mitt sweeps the ozone clear of any throws with in reasonable range and more than once he has saved brother infield ers from errors with phenomenal stabs. Bud Goodin's fielding at third has improved since pre-sea son games, when he turned in nu merous boots. Chief McLean can handle the mask, pad, and big mitt well enough for any college league, and the Chief makes a capable replacement for the injured Thomas. Thd big problem, re sulting from Thomas’ broken di git is filling McLean's post in the outfield. Bob Millard can clout the onion and pull in the line drives and lazy lofters de spite his apparently shaky field ing Thursday, but the sophomore southpaw is a pitcher of no mean ability and he’ll be needed on the mound. To Bing Crosbie, who patrolled left in place of Amato in pre season tilts, will probably go to the left field duty most of the time. Crosbie can field, but his hitting is doubtful. In practice contests he showed amazing pro fiency in working opposing pitchers for walks. He might make a capable leadoff man, al though lie swings for the fence like a Jimmy Foxx. If Crosbie ever starts connecting regular ly with his Ruthian style of (Please turn to page jour) A TOAST: To Your Shoes— They carry all the weight. We make them able.

Sayles Shuts Out Salem, 12-0 Duckling Baseball Squad Perforins Well at Bat And Afield With both the offensive and de fensive functioning in mid-season style, Warren's freshman baseball team turned in a 12-0 win yester day behind the three hit shutout pitching of Bill Sayles. Sayles struck out 19 of the 31 batsmen u face him during the 9 inning contest. At no time during the contest was he in imminent danger of being scored upon, due mainly to his own bearing down in the pinches, and the perfect sup port offered him afield by his mates. The frosh were away with a bang when they more than batted around in the first canto to score 10 runs. Two more markers were added to this total in the seventh inning. Lee Irwin, peppery catcher, led the Duckling’s attack with three blows in four trips to the plate. The hitting and field play of the squad showed a very definite im provement over that displayed earlier in the season. WSC Swamps Beavers, 16-3 Oregon's basebal team was shoved into third place yesterday as Washington State slugged out a 16-3 victory over the Orangemen at Corvallis. Bob Kinnamen, husky right hander, set the Beavers down nearly as fast as they appeared at the plate, while his mates pounded Dean Johnston, star Ore gon State sophomore, from the box. It was the second win in three starts for the traveling Cougar squad, which winds up its southern invasion with Oregon State again this afternoon. Washington, by virtue of two wins over the Idaho Vandals, is resting in first position, Washing ton State is in the second niche with three wins and one loss, fol lowed by Oregon with two wins and one loss.

Patterson, Smiling 440 Man, Is Versatile Runner By HUBARD KUOKKA Howard Patterson, Oregon’s con sistent quarter-miler, lias been running since he was eight years old. Those were the days of his grammar school meets when Howie ran the 50-yard dash for dear old Beaumont in Portland. Last year he won the 440 in ev ery dual meet except the one with Oregon State and the Northwest conference meet in Seattle. He confesses that the Northwest con ference meet is his jinx, and that another ache is Hayward track. However, in the mile relay against Oregon State on the Webfoot track the other day Howie did his share in setting the new record for the four laps. He hadn’t run the quarter be fore he came to the University. In high school his forte was broad jumping, having leaped 21 feet 6 inches. He won first place in a Portland city meet, and second in a state meet. When he was a frosh, he added the 100-yard and 220 yard dashes to his “repertoire,” and in the Frosh-Rook meet he won second place in each of these sprints as well as in the broad jump. Now that Howie “Laughing Boy” is a senior, his big ambition is to get that coveted third stripe. He has been majoring in business administration, and when he gets out of school he is going to hang up his spikes and get to work. He 1 is 21 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, and weighs about 145 pounds. Patterson has been president of his frat, ATO, and also .vice-presi dent of the Order of the “O." Down in the training rooms they say he would be a helluva good guy, but they can't keep him away from the Kappa house. He should be a full member of that sorority by now. When the track team makes its trips, Howie is always nervous, in fact so low that he has to climb a ladder to get down. He rarely concedes himself a chance to win in an approaching meet. But he does, he almost always comes through. The fellows say that a little telegram always comes along to give him that added “poosh.” In his first year of varsity com petition, Howie began to run the 440. In his second meet, running the 440 in 49:6, he beat the North west champion quarter - miler, Nichols of Washington State. That was the day they started calling him “Laughing Boy.’’ When Howie runs his teeth are set and he appears to be in a trance. Yell at him, throw sticks (Please turn to page jour) FOR THE CANOE FETE WE SUGGEST: If You Start Work Now Your Chances to Win Are Better A Week of Planning and Work Is Your Best Bet We Carry All Kinds of Building Materials and at Prices to Meet Your Budget Requirements TWIN OAKS BUILDERS SUPPLY CO. 669 High Phone 782 i Hi i § jg ■ If * I I :m.a Rook Relay Team Downs Frosh, 4-1 Lack of Experience and Injuries Hamper Frosh; Schriver Hurt The University freshman relay team lost to the Oregon State Rooks 4-1 in the annual relay meet held yesterday on Bell field in Corvallis. Duckling relay teams have not defeated the Rooks in this event for six years. The Rook triumph was by no means as impressive as the margin of victory might indicate. The frosh were decidedly hampered by injuries and the strange cinder track at the Corvallis institution. Lack of experience was a decided factor in the yearling defeat as some of the men have been out for track for only a short time. Jim Schriver, ace Duckling mid dle distance man, injured a leg early in the meet and Jack Berry, speedy sprinter, was unable to compete in the medley relay be cause of a sprained muscle. Fred Nowland, frosh coach, ex pressed satisfaction with the show ing that the team made in the re lays. “With a few weeks of good hard workouts we will have a fairly strong team for the dual meet with the Rooks,” he said. The mile ^elay was the only event that the Ducklings won. A team composed of Burkitt, Schriv er, Wagstaff, and Barker took the race easily, in approximately 3:43. In the 440 relay', Hoyer, anchor man for the baby Beavers, lived up to his advance reputation by beating out Currie on the finish. Carlson, McCiay, and Berry per formed nicely for the frosh in the sprints, and Leslie and Hoyer were the outstanding Beaver speedsters. Results: 440-yard realy—Won by Rooks (Leslie, Kole, Hillway, Hoyer). Time, :45. Mile relay—Won by frosh (Bur kitt, Wagstaff, Barker, Schriver). Time, about 3:43. 880-yard relay Won by Rooks (Same as 440). Time, 1:33. Three mileWon by Rooks (Lindsey, Pissarro, Davis, Larson). Time, 13.577.

McFadden Chosen To Pitch for Ducks; McLean Behind Bat Black lo Work for Idaho In Fourth League Tilt Of Wehfoot Season; Game Starts at 3:30 Howard Hobson's University of Oregon baseball team will face northern division Opposition for a fourth time this afternoon, when the University of Idaho plays here. Today’s tilt, first of a two game series, is set for 3:30 on either Howe field or the sawdust freshman diamond. Weather con ditions will determine the site. Dependable Don McFadden, who chucked the Webfoots to cham pionships in 1934 and 1935, will start for Oregon on the hill. Idaho moundsman will probably be Bill Black, a one-year letterman right hander who held Washington hit less for -seven innings Wednesday. Black weakened and the Huskies nosed out in the ninth, 3 to 2, but accounts from Seattle indicate that his performance was deserving of victory. McLean to Catch The broken thumb suffered by Catcher John Thomas in the sec ond game of the Washington State double bill has forced Coach Hob son to make several changes in his starting lineup. Chief McLean will do the catching, and either Bing Crosbie or Bob Millard will fill the Chief's outfieled niche. Andy Hur ney and Ralph Amato are suffer ing from minor leg ailments, but it is likely that they will be ready to start. Amato may be shifted to center and Crosbie or Millard sta tioned in left. The rest of the Webfoot lineup will be the same as against Wash ington State. The infield, still in tact, will consist of Bill Courtney at first; Mark DeLaunay, second; Johnny Lewis, short, and Bud Goodin, third.

Figured on an average, the marks made by Dyer to qualify were the best of the three, al though Meyers was out in front in the swimming event by a consid erable distance. Myers' swim mark for the 100 yards was 1:09. He had an unofficial swimming time of 1:02.4, which is a new Sigma Delta Psi record.
